BUY WAR BONDS Town Hall Artists . . . For the benefit of residents of this area, Aggies, and service men, the Student Activities office has contracted eight different entertainers to come to the campus of A. & M. and appear on the Guion Hall stage. Eight of the best ar tists in their respective fields are coming here to give the holders of Town Hall tickets the best that can be offered in entertainment. The first artist appeared here Tuesday night, and those who were present acclaimed that perfor mance one of the best to come to Aggieland. Miss Bidu Sayao, the Brazilian soprano of the Metro politan Opera, appeared under the sponsorship of the Stu dent Activities Committee in charge of Town Hall, and the program that she presented was well received by everyone. Her voice and charm makes her an acceptable singer^in any one's language. Those people who missed this initial per formance missed as program that will long be remembered by those present. Seven more artists will be on Town Hall. The price of the whole season was here in the person of Miss Sayao so with the rest of the performances, no one could go wrong in buying a ticket to hear one of the best Town Hall season’s ever to be on this campus. The price is still the same, but the value of these next appearances will be more than worth this price. Included in these next programs in Carmen Amaya and her troupe of gypsy dancers and the Houston Symphony Orchestra which is always a hit with the Aggies. Parade of OPINION By Associated Collegiate Press We Must Prevent Re-Teaching of Hate Any hope of educating all the world into our own con ceptions of democratic procedure is futile, declares Dr. B. F. Pittenger, dean of the University of Texas School of Edu cation. “Education in cooperaion and understanding of other nations is the key to world peace, Dean Pittenger explains. “We cannot in a short time make democrats out of authori tarians.” “The big job, Dean Pittenger asserts, will be to prevent re-education of defeated nations in the ideals of hate and war. And positive measures, he says, must be taken to pro vide understanding of the governments and economics of all nations. “The greatest service which boys and girls of 16 and 17 can render to the war effort is to get ready for the na tional service which most of them will be called upon to give at 18, in the armed forces, in war production, in civilian war agencies, or in specialized training. Time after time, high officials of thhe Army and the Navy, or government and in dustry, have urged youth to use the years up to 18 to build the foundations of a broad education. That way, they have af firmed, lies the greatest national service. “The greatest service which boys , and girls of 16 and 17 can render to themselves is to secure now the education which will surely be needed in the highly competitive labor market of the postwar years.” The College Eye, Iowa State Teachers College, advises high school students to go back to high school as the patriotic thing for them to do in a nation at war. When asked whether Ethiopia would like to punish Mussolini, Haile Selassie merely replied: “Ethiopia is less interested in vengeance for the past than in justice for the future.” “Not one soldier inquired about a veteran's bonus. The majority don’t give a thought to geting anything out of the war—glory or money—but they do want assurance of jobs and chances for self improvement. For them the war has no glamor or adventure. It is merely something that must be finished as quickly as possible.” Mrs. Roosevelt speaks of the temper of American soldiers after her island-hopping trip in the South Pacific. DO YOUR PART * BUY WAR BONDS Man, Your Manners By 1. Sherwood In homes where there are no ser vants—and who has one—every one should help to make the meal progress smothly. A knowledge of serving and passing is essential at any time, but particularly so now. Vegetables, meat, etc., are served by host or hostess or are passed so that each may help himself. A di»sh that is being passed to to you from the left would ordina rily be taken in your right hand, transferred to your left, and passed on; if a lady is seated at your right you would offer it to her first, holding it for her, then help yourself before passing it on. You should never help yourself from a dish someone else has asked you to pass without asking permission from that person to do so. It would be nicer if the person who has ask ed to have food passed would take note of your needs and insist that you help yourself. At an informal dinner where some of the dishes are to be passed at the table, you are responsible for putting into circulation the dishes nearest you. In no case would you just pick up a dish and help yourself without offering it to the person nearest you first or reach for a dish that is nearer someone else than to you. When any dish has been passed all around the table it should he put down by the last person served. A. S. T. U. NEWS 2nd Co. Gives Dance 6th and 7th Invited October 30. Remember that date as the night when the Bryan Air Field Jivers will beat the skins at Sbisa Hall from 8:00 to 12:00 p.m., while members of the 2nd, 6th and 7th Companies, their dates, and guests try out their fandangos and tangos. Tickets will be available by the end of the week at the rate of $1.10 per so start collecting your pennies now. The dance will be informal to permit Sally and Sue and other girls to come too without having to spend a half year’s salary and stealing someones shoe ration coupon to be able to come as a lady of fashion. This goes for the 6th and 7th Co’s as well, for they will be present as guests and old friends. Gig ’em! Ole Army. Corps Trip Jive A weary but contented gang of boys stumbled off the Sunbeam of Dallas last Sunday night. They were weary because they had crowded into a few hours enough dancing and romancing to last for several weeks. They were contend ed because the final score at Frog stadium was: “Aggies 13, TCU 0. Every one from the 2nd, 6th and 7th Co.’s that was in Fort Worth was packed in the Aggie section. Everybody in that section was raring to yell. They did it, too. That stadium rocked and roll ed from the blasts of student Ag gies, Army Aggies, sailors, ma rines, and enthusiastic females. Don’t think those girls can’t make noise when that Aggie team is on the field. There were spots in the section where the girls drown ed out the male moaners. The owner of a strange uniform on the back row of the stadium was making his share of noise when the Aggies were on the move. He wore the uniform of a 2nd Lt. in the Preuvian army. His name is Ruiz, and he is a transfer stu dent from Lima, Peru, but in the short time he has been here he has become a real Aggie. He brought a spirit with him that fits in perfectly with the Aggie spirit, for both spirits have in them loyalty to the fellow man and the willingness to fight for what is believed to be right. All This And School Too f Uncle Sam came through again to the boys in dormitory 11. This time it was in the form of two new beautiful army blankets. The boys sat and admired the blankets for hours, and most of them seem ed anxious for night to come so a preview of their sleeping qual ities could be held. We are now prepared for a hard winter. Come what may, those two blankets ought to be a match for any bliz zard. Fate and our officers have been kind to the 2nd Co. We have had a 7 day furlough followed by a pass to see the Fort Worth football game; we were allowed off early to see the Bryan Air Field game; we now have two new blankets; our books are coming through; and we have a dance coming up. That adds up to quite a bit in spite of some of the usual griping. Who Is Going To Be Next Victim? Now we are beginning a drive for one married man in each room. If Henry Tischler can do it any one can. Seriously though, we con gratulate Henry on knowing how to pick ’em. Henry and the former Miss Ruth Sims of Houston were wed Sunday morning at eleven o’clock in Bryan with Dwight “Dan Cupid” Lichtey as best man. Mrs. Tischler is a graduate of the Uni versity of Houston and has taught at the University of Houston for two years. Henry, just give us time and we will join you on that happy road of matrimony. Also, climaxing a year-long whirlwind courtship, Joe E. Epaf- ford and Sue Beth Mauldin, his home-town girl, were married in Royse City, Texas, last Saturday evening. A few guys in the outfit are getting old and still have no mar riage lined up for the future. Those are the men we have to help. Let’s take them out some night and show them a good time. For instance there are Ken Fickes, Durock Coscia, Burley Grimes, Hugh Hale, and many more who had better show some advances to ward the weaker sex if they want to get hitched before we ship out of here. The war is to last about five more years too. Think how old you will be then; senile atro phy will have set in. More of The Same The fighting Air Corps had quite a bevy of femmes at College Station for their Wing Ball Sat. nite. Some of the ‘Jez guys,’ how ever, didn’t know what to do with them after they had them and the poor gals had to stay in groups of four most of the time. Eight is a crowd you know. This And That What a weekend! We just could not stand many more like that. Anyway, it was wonderful and we are grateful to those men respon sible for our passes so that some of us could see the game. Well while I dodge these swords of Bob Raplee’s I’ll try to think of some thing to write. Not that the last weekend wasn’t extremely event ful but that all the stories aren’t in yet. The army does something to the boys in the 2nd St. Co. More of them are getting marrned. Jack Buie will soon take the step, also, Jimmie Wright, Art Hogge, and Keith Kirk. The names of all the fair damsels aren’t at hand at this instant so they will be in another issue. QM Review We of the QMC, having no one else to blow our horn for us, have a little speech from one of the en listed personnel of the basic train ing company we were in all sum mer. However, we feel that the speech was made not to us, but to the spirit of Aggieland as a whole. On this basis I wish to put it in print, so that all Aggies may read and remisnisce about what the past has done and will continue to do for them. This little talk was made im promptu after a football game with another company in which all of our team were Aggies. We won the game, and naturally sang “The Twelfth Man” while march ing back to our barracks. “We wish to thank you for your splendid cooperation during your sojourn here. One thing in particular im pressed me the most—A while ago, as we were returning from the football game, you were singing a song about the twelfth man on the team. That is particularly significant now. You men are from Texas, as we have found out,—and more spe cifically, from Texas A. & M. The twelfth man on your team is your loyalty, your sincerely co-operative spirit. That is the spirit which will win for us. The twelfth man on the team is not only that spirit, it is the spirit of the folks on the home front as well. If that spirit is typical of A. & M.—particularly the motto We’ve Never Been Licked which has given a title to a current motion picture, I am certain that it is typical of all of Texas—yes, typical even of the tea-sippers as you call the Texas U. boys. They tell us that the rest of the forty-seven states are just here to help you. I am from California, which in recent years has become an annex of Tex as, so I know what that means. In fact there was a sign in the Chey enne Depot which said Let’s all help Texas win the war. We thank Texas A. & M., the state of Texas, and the men who founded Texas for making it pos sible for us to borrow you to start our football season so well. Thanks a lot, goodbye and good luck.” Cpl.

This is the story of a movie-struck sub-deb in New York. Virginia in this part of a young girl has a autograph mania. While collecting these ‘John Hancocks’ she gets into many funny predica ments. When she has to sell her autograph book to hire a man to keep her father from following his secretary, things begin to pop. The Lowdown: just average. “The Howards of Virginia” starts as the feature attraction at the Campus today. Martha Scott and Cary Grant carry the leading roles in this superb production. Taking place at the time of the beginning of America as a new nation, it por trays the political thoughts of the country at that time. The back ground of the picture in Virginia showing some of the pioneer life. A fascinating Indian raid scene, American-British battles, and the appearance of many famous per sonages of the time, such as Tho mas Jefferson, makes the story one of the best ever to be put out in, Hollywood.
