Sunday and Monday at Guion
Hall is TORTILLA FLAT, star
ring Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr,
John Garfield, and Frank Morgan.
This is an old picture but will
always be an entertaining show.
With Spencer Tracy as the cen
tral figure, the story concerns the
way he lives off the connivances
he instills in his wine-drinking,
chicken-eating friends in his best
element. Garfield and Mis Lamarr
have a romance going that Tracy
tries to disrupt because of its in
terference with his soft job. Al
most everyone in the show is led
around like so many sheep by
Tracy’s subtle, superior way. His
plot to borrow the tottering Mor
gan’s savings and wreck the afore
said romance falls through, how
ever, but the whole thing ends
happily as could be expected.
The Lowdown: Not as good as
it’s cracked up to be, but worth
while.
Promotion
—By BRAD
The announcement that. Lt.
Howard “Coach” Pickett has been
transferred from the 1st student
training company to Regimental
Supply Officer wes received with
much regret by the advanced en
gineers though they wish hipo;
every good fortune in his new
job. While Lt. Pickett has been
located at A. & M a short time, he
has made countless friends among
the trainees and in turn has been
most active in their behalf. This
promotion marks the 2nd change
of duty Lt. Pickett has had in two
and one half months at Aggieland.
Coming from the Adjutant Gen
eral’s Office he went to the 1st
company where he instructed the
advanced students in the fine art
of P. T. at the same time helping
organize a softball team. He then
became Special Service Officer
for the regiment and now he will
be doing duty as both Special Ser
vice and Supply Officer under Re
gimental Commander Col. Buvens
and Adjutant, Lt. Williams.
Moving about is nothing new
for the lientenant for he has ser
ved in most states of the union
since entering the army.
After being commissioned from
Florida U. O. C. S., he served
as an instructor in the Army Ad
ministration School at LSU. Prior
to being commissioned he was a
staff Sergeant in the 110th Engi
neers. The new Supply Officer has
served at Camp Robinson, Arkan
sas, Fort Belvoir, Va., and Fort
Ord, California, where, during the
early days of the war, he was as
signed to patrol duty. To the
query, did the engineers have to
do patrol duty, he replied, “H
in those days the engineers did
everything.”
Well, Lieutenant, those days are
back and once more you will be
expected to do everything, which
reminds me, “how about some
new ” But I’d better get
in that long line with the rest.
Just An M.E.
By KAFF
We could not help but smile
just a bit when we read of life
at A. S. T. P. at L. S. U. It re
minded us so much of home—
and we do mean home. But of
course, we at A. & M. are stay
ing here primarily to learn Engi
neering, and not just because our
shipping orders read College Sta
tion. We in 1st Co. would not
even stay out of ter C. Q. for an
hour occasionally to watch the
Navy beat the Marines in a soft-
ball game behind Dorm. 1. Engi
neers we will be, if we have to
sweat it out all summer on this
front. And, incidentally, when
does summer end down here in
Texas? Monday is Labor Day, but
the thermometer reads Chicago’s
July 4th.
But to get back to L. S. U.—
“others recuperate from the day’s
activities by bowling. . . .—Bowl
ing—we haven’t had the chance
to “strike”, “spare”, or even try
for the nearly impossible 7 and
10 pin split, since we left Fort
Sill in March. Don’t think we
could stand a year of that though
—much too strenuous. Besides, we
still have our obstacle course and
mile to keep us in shape. Need
we say what shape we are in?
Of course we do spend our
weekends doing the following
week’s Thermo and Mechanics. And
if we were at L. S. U. we would
probably be doing exactly as we
do here. After all it is Co-Ed, and
only five miles from Baton Rouge.
Then there is a gigantic “Field
House”, wher all meet for the af
ternoon or evening cokes or milk
shakes, where there are club-
rooms, two large dance floors, and
a swimming-pool. We call our
George’s, but what’s in a name?
That Day-Room idea still sounds
to us like the answer to a few
of the assets of Louisiana State!!

Personalities
A. C. Kaltwasser
Adolpuh Conrad Kaltwasser, our
graduating senior for today, hails
from Caldwell, Texas. “Cold wat
er” as he is called by his friends
attended school at Caldwell until
the urge hit him to begin in veter
inary medicine at A. & M. Fish
Kaltwasser began in “D” Troop
cavalry in Sep
tember, 1939 and
hasn’t missed a
semester since
that time. Now,
after ten semes
ters, the old
sheepskin is about
to become a real
ity provided of
course that he completes his
schedule of twenty-four hours and
forty-seven grade points. With
“Coldwater’s” determination he
could handle half again as much
work, so the D. V. M. is practical
ly in the bag.
A. C. has worked most of his
way through school having worked
for the Landscape Arts depart
ment and the Veterinary Science
department over a total of nine
semesters. He has been an active
member in the Jr. A. V. M. A. and
a well known member of the Luth-
ern Students Association here at
College Station.
For sports, A. C. likes to play
volleyball and . . . confidentially,
robbing cradles runs a close sec
ond to volleyball. After World Mess
II is over, A. C. plans to have a
large animal practice somewhere
in Texas. His secret ambition,
other than a vocational one, is
“to walk down military walk again
with his senior boots on.” So
long Coldwater . . .and here’s
hoping you get to see those boots
again . . . being exhibited again at
A. & M. as of old.
Aggie News
Things still happen around here,
but it seems that some of the
members of this organization are
a bit reticent about telling of
their experiences. The reporters
have to hound it out of them . . .
Two-bits of a hole in a doughnut
that a majority of the army vets
have been in more formal reviews
than some of the other boys might
imagine .... We have great hopes
for the Vet Ball Saturday night.
Chuck “playboy” Elia is trying to
get a group of W. A. C.’s to come
and entertain some of the boys.
From all reports the brown clads
down Nacogdoches way enjoy be
ing entertained . . . Has anyone
in this outfit got some extra
dough? After those table tips, pay
day and the old Alma Mater pay
ing off, all in the course of about
three days, it seems that someone
should have an extra century note
to spare. (Oh, I forget! . . . buy
bonds and stamps) . . . Rumor has
it that we will get a week off be
tween semesters. Well! every day
off will certainly be appreciated.
Some of the boys have gone to
school here for ten to twelve se
mesters without respite, and a
week of freedom will be heaven
on earth to them . . . Ask “Yank”
Phillips why he is always getting
his forefinger dirty. Boy, he can
look in some of the most unsus
pected places for a spech of dust
. . . It’s gratifying to the editors
of this column to know that some
one reads it . . . the reason we
know ? . . . because there never are
enough Batts to go around each
morning of circulation . . . could
be that the boys are reading some
thing on the front pages.
to have anything to do with any
thing if those children are allowed.
The children, in the meantime, are
devoting all of their time to put
ting colored chalk in the hot rolls,
and considering what small child
ren they are, they are doing re
markably well.
Finally, after the church mem
bers had sat down to several tons
of food, Lena Curtiss said that we
could leave now.
So considering the progress ev
eryone had made, I say, “Let’s
have more church social.”
Your
Yeterinarian
Joe Farrel has kindly brought to
our attention some articles written
concerning what the veterinary
profession has meant to mankind
and we will pass them on to you
as long as they last.
The Blessings of Toxoid ... No
veterinary contribution to man
kind is more outstanding than the
discovery of toxoid—the work of
Gaston Ramon, a veterinarian of
France.
The full significance of this
achievement can be realized when ti
is remembered that only because
of the discovery of Ramon can
physicians immunize little children
in advance of exposure, against
both tetanus and diphtheria.
Only because of this discovery
can soldiers as well as civilians in
hazardous occupations, be safe
guarded in advance of injury
against the horrors of tetanus.
Because of the owrk of Ramon,
diphtheria may some day disap
pear from the earth, because of it,
as mankind learns to take advan
tage of his discovery, even tetanus
will lose it’s terror.
All of this, over and above the
use of toxoid by veterinarians to
protect valuable horses against
tetanus . . . Allied Laboratories,

should I say thump; here’s a lit
tle story about a -fellow student
that has hit the silk. No, he isn’t
one of these lads that has been
scaring our flying instructors, he
has been confining his efforts
to his room. (We can’t build him
up too much for fear that thq
paratroopers might grab him.)
Our paratrooper, Mr. Cardwell,
had his first jump last Monday
morning when Mr. Buckner found
him lying on the floor counting,
“4-5-6-7”. It seems that Mr. Buck
ner, who sleeps below our para
trooper, woke up about three in
the morning and found Mr. Card-
well lying on the floor frantically
counting—he had fallen from his
second story bed. Mr. Buckner
asked, “What’s wrong, didn’t the
Chute open?” Our man picked
himself up and climbed back into
his bunk trying to figure out
what had happened. No one
knows—do you?
Have you noticed a long faced
A/S wandering around? Don’t
worry, he isn’t a Bryan Field den
tist’s victim, it’s just Mr. Buck
ner. His Commanding Officer
and Adjutant have left him and
he is in full command; but he
doesn’t know what to do. Mrs.
Buckner, his wife of course, left
College Station last week-end for
Rusk, Texts, where she is taking
care of her mother who is sick.
Gentlemen, I know that all of
us greatly enjoyed Captain Mur
phy’s valedictory and saludatory
address last Wednesday night. I
believe that the applause he re
ceived didn’t begin to show our
feelings for him. Captain Murphy,
wherever you are , we proudly
salute a real officer and a wonder
ful friend of every man under your
command.
Well, young gentlemen, this is
the end of another bit of news
from our Squadron. I hope my
two readers have been able to
bear with me long enough about
this; Did you hear about the little
moron who thought that Western
Union was cowboy underwear?

will add from one to several
months of grazing over the old
rust-susceptible kinds.
The Texas Agricultural Expe
riment Station began about 15
years ago to develop rust-resist
ant varieties of wheat and oats
adapted to the central and sou
thern parts of the State. Five
years later, cooperative relations
with the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, USD A, were entered into,
and shortly thereafter, barley and
flax were added to the list of
crops to be bred for rust resist
ance.
In the breeding program for Cen
tral and Southern Texas, the re
port states that special emphasis
is being placed on disease resist
ance combined with quantity and
quality of forage, with grain pro
duction secondary. Types are be
ing sought which give a maximum
of grazing during December, Jan
uary and February.
The standard of perfection to
ward which the breeding work at
the Texas Agricultural Experi
ment Station is aimed calls for
varieties that are vigorous win
ter growers, tiller freely, produce
long dark green blades, recover
rapidly after close grazing, do
not come into joint during warm
periods in the winter, and carry
high degrees of resistance to the
cereal rusts and other humid-
climate diseases.
A complete series of new rust-
resistant varieties of wheat, oats,
and barely adapted to the soil and
climatic conditions from Central
Texas to the Lower Rio Grande
Valley has been developed at the
Texas station. Some of these va
rieties have been released to
commercial growers; others are
being released; and still others
are being increased for later re
lease as soon as sufficient seed
is available.
According to the report, seed
of the following varieties of small
grains now are available: Austin
wheat; Ranger, Rustler and Verde
oats, and Tunis barley. The re
port concludes with a discussion
of the methods used n producing
each variety, weher best results
in growth may be expected and
where seed may be obtained.
