Welcome To Aggieland ...
Yesterday began another semester of work for the present
Aggies, and with this semester comes a new class of Aggies
to carry on the traditions and Aggie spirit that has made
this college the great one that it is today. No other school
can claim to have so great a bond between it’s students as
the home of the Texas Aggies.
Every new Aggie must be proud of Aggieland or they
would not be here in the first place. Being an Aggie means
a lot of things and should mean a lot to the person who calls
himself an Aggie. No one can tell the freshman how to be
come a real Aggie: this is something that must be found
out by the freshman himself. One sure way of knowing
whether or not the Spirit of Aggieland is imbedded deep in
to your soul is to have chills run down your back when that
song is played. Nothing is so inspiring as the “Spirit of Ag
gieland.”
Beginning your college career at any college will neces
sitate changes in your life, but life at A. & M. will make
for many more changes. Two things will be expected of you.
These things are being an Aggie and making your grades.
Learning the traditions of Aggieland will go far toward mak
ing you an Aggie; studying without let down will help keep
you off the Dean’s Team which is made up of deficient stu
dents, that is, those making less than 10 hours and 10 grade
points.
Now that you are here, it is the wish of the Battalion
staff that you enjoy your college work here and become an
Aggie in the real sense of the word. Welcome to A. & M. men,
men, you are now at Aggieland, the home of the Texas Ag
gies.
... in peace and war
This emblem is familiar throughout the nation as the
symbol of a well-trained team, integrated for service in
peace or war—The Bell Telephone System.
1. American Telephone & Telegraph Co. coordinates
all Bell System activities.
2. Twenty-one Associated Companies provide telephone
service in their own territories.
3. The Long Lines Department of A. T. & T. handles
long distance and overseas calls.
4. Bell Telephone Laboratories carries on scientific
research and development.
5. Western Electric Co. is the manufacturing, purchas
ing and distributing unit.
The benefits of the nation-wide service provided by
these companies are never so clear as in time of war.

Open Forum
To The Freshmen:
You are new here. Perhaps you
have come a long way to enroll
in A. & M. and to become an
Aggie. If this is your goal, you
must work hard.
Let it never be said that a boy
left this school proudly calling
himself an Aggie, who did not
know the school songs and
yells, who did not participate in
yell practices or walk in the street
or grab the hand of every boy
he saw, saying, I’m fish so-and-
so,—who did not respect the build
ings and Sul’s statue and Rev and
the flag and his classmates, and
love of the traditions of A. & M.
Because it is not true.
Thousands and thousands of boys
like yourselves have entered this
school with the same desire as
yours—to become true Aggies —
and they have left with a feeling
of eternal hope and loyalty instill
ed in them because they became so
much a part of the school and three-
by reached their goal. They are,
in truth, true Aggies. These boys
are far away from home now.
They are fighting on strange land
and some of them under extreme
hardships. But they are still the
Fighting Aggies, although they
are fighting for something great
er and the fighting is much hard
er than when they fought as THE
TWELFTH MAN at a game. They
are fighting for a lot of things,
and ’way up high among them
is their Aggieland. They want it
the way they left it, and it’s up
to you to keep it that way. So you
must not let them—nor yourselves
down. Good luck, Freshmen, in
learning to become TRUE AG
GIES.—J. Brown.
Slaughter Permits
Are Limited To The
Dealers In Meats
Persons who hold livestock
slaughter licenses or permits,
those who are selling meat, or
those who sell meals, are the only
individuals eligible to receive spe
cial consideration in issuing the
slaughter permits for livestock
sold at 4-H Club sales. This stipu
lation is part of a recent ruling
sent to regional offices by the
Food Distribution Administration,
according to information from
Washington to the A. and M. Col
lege Extension College. The FDA
has the responsibility for issuing
these permits.
The ruling also gives permission
to persons not of the three classes
named but who wish to support a
sale, to buy 4-H Club livestock at
a club sale as sponsors and to re
sell it and be considered exempt
from the provisions of FDO 26,
providing the animal is disposed
of to a person eligible to slaughter
it or have it slaughtered.
Specifically, the ruling provides
that upon receipt of an pplication
from a responsible officer in charge
of a calf, pig, or lamb club, such
as a county agricultural agent or
the club agent, arrangements
should be made for issuance of
permits for club animals sold at
club sales. The officer in charge
of the club will certify that the
animals were fed in an organized
club under the direction of the
Extension Service or other recog
nized agency. Upon receiving an
application and certification ar
rangements should be made to
issue slaughter permits to buyers
who are regularly engaged in the
business of slaughtering livestock
or selling meat, including those
who sell meals. Where persons al
ready have licenses the meat from
animals bought at club sales will
be reported by the slaughterer as
exempt deliveries if he obtains an
exemption certificate signed by the
officer in charge of the club.
In connection with the ruling,
it is pointed out that the Office of
Price Administration ruling RO
16 makes no distinction between
meat produced from 4-H Club
livestock and that produced from
any other livestock with regard
to surrendering ration stamps.

Bizzell Hall, which we soon
changed to Bizzell High after a
few of those cheer meetings of
Mr. Johnson,was our new barracks.
Barracks, were they kidding ? Ima
gine having running water in your
room and I don’t mean because of a
leaky ceiling. The food was fit
for a king. We still wonder what
the odd meat combination is ... .
why we receive so much rice ....
who knows, maybe they are plan
ning to ship us to the land of chop
sticks and falling Zeros?
After beginning our classes and
trying to carry the burden of ump-
ty-nine hours of Physics, History,
Physics, P. E., Physics, Math and
Physics; we settled down to our
Eager Beaver life. The days f lew
past so fast we couldn’t keep track
of the months, let alone the days.
Flight 23 must be mentioned ....
how could we give a true picture
of Squadron III without mention
ing Crookshanks “what did they
do now”? Happy Sacs. All you had
to do was say Flight 23 and some
one would say, “Well, what did
they do now?” Their maneuvers
on the drill field couldn’t be beat.
They had a little trouble one day
when they were centering their
drilling near the bus stop ....
how did they know that she would
object? Oh yes, and then there was
the Marine Drill Field.' We always
loved those days, we didn’t have
any time to drill after we did get
there. “Bang—bang,’’ “Lay That
Pistol Down Babe” or “Who took
the shot at Sergeant Paris . . . .
and missed?” You’d think someone
had a gun the way they conducted
that search for the gun .... how
did they know that it was only a
torpedo ? Then came the fall of
Mussolini and Johanson. Who was
this Thomason ? Now we know,
don’t we Gentlemen? He has done
a wonderful job and everyone of
us couldn’t help but like him. How
about the “between-the-wings mee
tings?” It was our private amphi
theatre for all of our Squadron
activities. With the wise crack of
Mr. Boone and Mr. Miller to spicen
up these meetings be anything but
eventful? Ah yes, and then there
was the Mr. Hancock .... he will
long be remembered for his favor
ite hobby—need I say more. ‘‘Riger
Mortis” Beckwith with all his mail
. . . . Johnny Zero’s protege—Mr.

I QatnUis 'Distractions
By Ben Fortson
The distractions are carrying on
this week with APPOINTMENT
IN BERLIN at the Campus today
where did the X come from?” in
his Physics class .... “Sick call”
Martin with his motto, “What’s
your business in my business” ....
that scrumptous blonde wife of Mr.
Slattery’s—Mmmmmm, so nice to
come home to. How will we ever
be able to forget these? Every lit
tle incident will remain with us
all through our Cadet training.
Then we began flying .... did we
make those mechanics work—
wow! Keep the wing up ... .
look out for the Academic Buil
ding ..... no, use right rudder
with right stick not left stick ....
watch that throttle . . . .your nose
is low . . . .that first turn of your
traffic pattern was a wonderful
climbing turn—how will we be
able to match this in our future
flying ?
This is a brief—very brief—sum
mary of our li^e here at A. & M.
The Officers we had have been
tops and Captain Hill will long be
remembered as the very best in
C. O’s. We’ll all take a ‘‘deep seat
in the saddle” for that “fur piece
to go,” say “switch off’ and good
bye to a wonderful organization—

was picture and deals with the

part of a British wing commander
who gets himself cashiered from
the army in order to hoodwink the
Huns by counter-espionage. Miss
Chapman is cast as a Nazi official
