Mr. Stephanides holds a fellow
ship with the Near East Founda
tion which is developing plans for
the rehabilitation and improvement
of agriculture in the Near East. It
is working with the U. S. Foreign
Relief and Rehabilitation Office,
directed by ex-governor of New
York, Herbert H. Lehmann.
The Texas A. & M. College is
one of several agricultural colleges
which Mr. Stephanides will visit
before returning to Cornell to
make his final report. While here
he showed a great deal of interest
in the College and its Agricultural
Experiment Station and Extension
Service. He stated he was “very
much impressed” with this set-up.
Mr. Stephanides said he had ad
mired the Texas A. & M. College
from afar as he knew some former
students and his country had bene-
fitted in the past from work de
veloped at College Station. As an
example, about 85 per cent of the
cotton grown in Greece prior to the
invasion had been developed from
seed procured here.
It is part of the plan for Near
East agricultural rehabilitation to
interest scientists in going there
for six months or a year to assist
in directing the work.

It’s all over now but the Aggies
are still talking. “We’ve Never
Been Licked” was accepted by the
Aggies, the picture’s severest cri
tics, with the greatest enthusiasm.
The general opinion is “the picture
was everything and more than WE
had expected.” Of course a few
technical, as to accuracy, mistakes
which bothered us will probably
be overlooked by the movie-going
public. Therefore, it should serve
as excellent entertainment for the
Public as well as a good advertse-
ment for us.

Sportlights
By Maglio
According to numerous comments
received from the student group
one of the worst “war shortages”
is our very apparent lack of com
petitive sports activities at Texas
A. & M. Although the regular col
lege sports program will continue
in spite of seemingly insurmounta
ble odds, members of the Army
Specialized Training Detachments
assigned here realize they will be
unable to play, and conseqently are
wondering what to do with the lit
tle spare time they are allowed.
Since weekends seem to lapse
slowly, we think that it would be
a capital idea to introduce a soft-
ball league to provide recreation
for the relaxation of the work-
weary minds of the soldiers. At
the same time, competition would
give them a chance to get out in
the open to enjoy the Texas air,
something which they have had
little chance to do during the
week, due to the pressure of stud
ies.
The facilities at hand are excel
lent. The playing fields behind the
new dormitories could be used. OneJ

Dorm. No. 11, won the A. ,& M.
College intramural track meet.
Winning by a total score of 51)4
points—11)4 points in the lead of
of their nearest competitor—the
Army Vets placed 1st and 2nd in
the mile (W. R. Strieber and W. E.
Riley), 1st and 2nd in the half-
mile (C. B. Chatain and R. H.
Kokemot,) 1st and 2nd in the

N. Barron), 3rd in the high jump
(W. L. Pelot,) and 5th in the chin
ning (G. J. Hart) all this despite
the fact that 50% of the company
were on week-end passes.
Todate, the Army Engineers on
this campus, who constitute the
1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Companies
of the ASTU 3800 have declined
the challenge of an inter-unit track
competition—I wonder why? In
cidentally, this challenge is open to
any unit or group on the campus.
A comment worthy of repetition
comes from Mr. W. L. “Penny”
Penberthy, head of the P. E. De
partment, who was overheard to
say, “Now I know why Veterinary
Medicine is a five-year course . . .
it takes them five years to find
out how good they are.
Although the 2nd S. T. Co., ex
isted on paper as the 1st S. T. Co.,
in the first days of June, it wasn’t
until the 15th day of June—when
the bulk of the membership of
this organization reported to A. &
M. from a ten-day get-acquainted-
jaunt with Uncle Sam via Fort
Sam Houston—that this organiza
tion, now led by Major C. D. Apple,
Lt. W. L. Morgan and 1st Sgt.
A. W. Sabo, became a reality.
Trickling groups of new-comers
have raised the number of men in
this organization to 135, and right
noW we are awaiting the arrival of
a former “civilian lieutenant”,
Matthew Walt Casey.
A sincere and hearty pean of
thanks is voted by this company
to all the college and army offi
cials who made it possible for this
unit to attend the Friday evening,
6:30 p.m. showing of “We’ve Never
Been Licked”. Inasmuch as the
fully almost all that remains of
the former A. & M. Corps, this
was a very appropriate action. Like
all first-nighters, every one felt a
tension in the air before the show
started, however, it wasn’t long
before everyone who remembered
was one rigid goose-bump. Mid
night yell practice, Kyle Field, Fin
al Review, and fish Sergeant an-
tics-all were characteristic, yet cer
tain phases of Aggie life were lack
ing: Corps trips, fish day, hitch
ing, football games and cheers, and
a myriad of odds and ends which
make for the basic Aggie spirit of
“We’ve Never Been Licked.”

Answers
1. Socially you introduce an officer accord
ing to his title and that goes for Army,
Navy, Air Corps, and Marines.
2. An officer is not supposed to carry pack
ages unless it is absolutely necessary. He
does not carry an umbrella; he may hold
it over a lady, but not ever himself.
3. The one farthest from your plate. If your
hostess has set the table properly, sil
ver will be placed in the order of its use.
4. Always mention a woman’s name first—
the simple formula is—
(a) “Miss Smith—Mr. Bond.”
(b) “Mother, this is John Brown.”
(c) The same form as you use to intro
duce your mother.
(d) Either name first unless one is much
older in which case you mention his name
first.
5.
(a) The lady goes first. She follows the
head waiter—if there is one.
(b) She follows the usher—if there is one
if not, you go first to locate the seats.
At a movie the girl may go first.
(c) In a taxi she enters first, you get
out first.
6. You do, after the girl has made her se
lection.
7. Stop thinking about yourself and talk to
the person next to you whether you know
him or not—to be invited in the same
group acts as an introduction.
8. A wedding invitation does not need a
response only the reception card which
says R.S.V.P. needs an answer. An an
nouncement does not pall for a gift.
area is far from being a Yankee
Stadium but, nevertheless, it would
prove quite adequate.
The games could take place on
Saturday and Sunday. The organ
ization of the league should prove
to be no obstacle at all. It should
be an easy task to procure at least
six teams from the Basic Engineer
group, and quite possibly eight.
That would make a good com
pact league and the competition
from the various dormitories
would no doubt be of the keenest
sort. There is no happier soldier
in the world than or\e who is either
playing or rooting with all he has
for his team to come through. This
spirt attained on the field of play
would be reflected on the field of
battle.
Captain Donovan L. McDaniel,
commanding officer of the 5th Stu
dent Training Company has already
set a foot forward in the direction
of a league organization and it has
reached this reporter’s ears that
teams for the suggested soft-ball
league are being formed. He is also
planning to organize track and
football teams in the near future.
The lead of the 5th Company could
very easily be followed by the
other companies.
Those who do not take part in
sports could learn to be one by
rooting for their particular com
pany team in much the same man

major league or college team and
makes it his “baby.”

When asked what he though of
A. & M. now the general comment
ed that the usual uniform when
he was here consisted of a pair of
socks and a pair of shorts, and that
the corps really seemed to be in
tip-top shape with G. L’s.
Among the many others present
were Frank “Major Ozone” Mc
Millan, class of T2, who got his
degree in Animal Hsubandry. Mr.
McMillan acquired his nickname in
the following manner: one winter
night he insisted that the windows
should be left open so that the air
might come in. After an extended
argument he won his point and the
windows were opened. Lo and be
hold, that night it snowed and in
the morning there was a great pile
of snow deposited neatly inside the
room. From then on he was “Maj
or Ozone”.
Also present was W. G. “Bill”
McMillan, class of ’22, who took
his degree in architecture. Bill
played quarterback- halfback on
the Aggie team in ’21 and ’22 and
has the honor of being on the only
Aggie team to beat Texas Univer
sity in Austin since 1909. In 1909
the Aggies took T. U. in Austin
by a score of five to nothing, and
in 1922 the score was fourteen to
seven. At the present time Mr. Mc
Millan is a big game hunter and
while he has never hunted in Afri
ca he has seen a great deal of this
continent.
It would have been a great thing
if all of you could have talked
with those old boys. They certainly
prove the fact that Aggie spirit
never dies. From the class of ’99
to the class of ’46 is almost half a
century, and Aggies from all the
classes in between are scattered
all over the globe in a million and
one different places doing a mil
lion and one different jobs, yet
there is one thing that will bind
them together forever; they are
Aggies. And because they are Ag
gies these men will never grow
old; they will remain forever as
they were when they trod the sac
red paths of Aggieland; true Ag
gies in word, in spirit and in ac
tion.

can if the owner brought his own
cans. According to Dr. Adriance
the plant just about broke even
on its 1943 operations, but “we
gained invaluable experience.”
It had been hoped that this semi
commercial cannery could process
several hundred cases of vegetables,
especially tomatoes, for use in the
College dining halls. However, dur
ing the past season tomatoes in
sufficient quantity and of the
quality desired were impossible to
obtain. As a sample, 72 number 10
cans were put up and these were
pronounced entirely satisfaction
by J. C. Hotard, supervisor of sub
sistence. The tomatoes used were
grown on the farm operated by
the Department of Horticulture.
While restrictions imposed by
the War Production Board on all
business made some much needed
machinery difficult to obtain, sev
eral valuable pieces of equipment
were secured. Before another sea
son rolls around the department
hopes to add a washer, peeler, dic
er, juice extractor and pea shel-
ler.
In coming seasons both the can
nery and the horticultural farm
are expected to be of material as
sistance in furnishing vegetables
for students and service men eat
ing in the mess halls.
Dr. Adriance wants all and sun
dry to understand, however, that
the main object of the Department
of Horticulture is the fullest de
velopment of a program of in
struction for students of the Texas
A. & M. College. To attain max
imum efficiency of such a program
it is thought necessary that the
work in both the products labora
tory and on the farm be developed
to a scale where commercial con
ditions are approached.
Establishment and operation of
the vegetable canning and dehy
dration plant had the support of
commercial canneries of the State,
