SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 15, 1944 THE BATTALION Page 3 By Harold Borofsky Battalion Sport* Editor Ag Cagers Face Longhorns In Third Game of Season Tonight in Austin the Aggie basketball team meets the Long horn cagers in the Cadets’ third game of the season. The Long horns will again present a formid able array of height against the compartively short of Ags, but the boys have hopes of outspeeding the Steers and gaining a victory. So far the Ags have lost to the S. M. U. Mustangs and the Baylor Bears, the latter game being a very close contest. The Longhorns, having drubbed Baylor will enter the fray definite favorites. Buddy Ekas, who turned in a stellar performance against the Beans, will be on tap, as will Nick Salibo, hustling ball-hawk, and Max Mohnke, who has performed well in both games so far. This week the Ags worked on all phas es of the game, and coach Manning Smith hopes that his boys will be able to work close enough to the basket to offset the advantage the Longhorns have because of their superior height. Aggie football hopes received another boost today as four of Sunset High School’s stars an nounced intentions of entering A. & M. soon. The four Dallas boys are on the campus visiting today and getting things lined up. They include Arthur Burch and Jack Halfpenny, backs, and John Roll- wage and Fred Goodwin, linemen. The Ag lineup should be well-stud ded with Sunset boys, Monte Mon- crief returning also... Goble Bry ant, Star Cadet tackle, expects to leave school in March for the Air Corps. Getting back to the hardwood, here is the list of men who are slated to make the trip to Austin, as released by Coach Smith: Bud dy Ekas, Max Mohnke, Steve King, Joe Atlas, Nick Salibo, Charlie Wright, Charlie Weinbaum, Reed Stewart, Don Deere, Marvin Eilen- berg, and Neal Galloway. It was rumored that Charlie Wright twisted his ankle Friday and would not start. If so this would be a severe loss to the Ags, for Wright’s height is badly needed. The Longhorns have several high school stars from last year’s teams and several V-12 boys who are quite tall. Speaking on the game, Coach Smith had this to say: “We are badly in need of tall men, and that is the largest factor against us. However, we will be out there hustling all the way, and any team we play will know they have met a real Aggie team.” Our Responsibility In Post-War Japan Stated In Lecture Warning Against Over Optimism Stated By Pacific Relations “We shall have to take direct responsibility for the type of pol itical and social structure that is established in Japan after her de feat,” declared Thomas A. Bisson, on the staff of the American con sul of the Institute of Pacific Re lations, in a laceture recently given at Ohio Wesleyan Univer sity. He said also: “The privilege of ruling people not her own must certainly be taken from Japan.” And: “The principle of the pun ishment of German and Italian war criminals should also be applied to Japanese.” If we crush the military power of Japan and strip her of her stolen territory, she will rise again, just as Germany did, Bisson said. “If we waive our responsibility and do nothing (more than this), we may be sure the militarists and their God-Emperor will be right back at the old stand doing busi ness again in short order.” To achieve a complete break down of the old order, “it will not be necessary to use our power in a way to outrage the Japanese, and so create a festering desire fo r revenge. It will merely be neces sary to use it in a way to give full expression to the actual desires of Japan’s hungry and oppressed masses. They will give us the leaders that will be able to usher in the new democratic regime, if we know what we are about and welcome and work with this new leadership and eschew the old.” Bisson pointed out, however, that “the free growth of rational ideas among the Japanese people” will have no chance until we first “clip the wings of the Emperor and divorce him from the militar ists.” DR.

Texas AAA Advises Effort To Obtain Needed Protein Products Stockmen should make every effort to obtain their requirements of protein concentrates through normal trade channels, B. F. Vance, Administrative Officer of the State Triple-A, advises. Fifty per cent of the soybean meal produced in southern mills from midweptem soybeans is re served by Commodity Credit Cor poration for distribution to criti cal areas. The remaining 50 per cent is left in the hands of pro cessors for distribution through regular trade channels. The War Food Administration has issued an order effective January 1, 1944, requiring the processors of cotton seed, soybean (except midwestem soybeans crushed in southern mills), peanut, and flaxseed to set aside 20 per cent of their January production of protein meals for distribution only to protein deficit areas through State and county Triple-A Committees. The 50 per cent of the soybean meal left with the southern mills, 80 per cent of any other soybean meal, and 80 per cent of the cot tonseed, peanut and linseed meal, plus all other types of protein con centrates, are therefore left in the hands of the industry for distribu tion through the established chan nels of trade. “Although Texas will get its fair share of the protein meals made available for directed distri bution by the War Food Adminis tration under the set-aside order, it can readily be seen that the small amount available for such distribution will not be sufficient to take care of all the needs of all feeders,” Vance said. He warned against over-optim ism regarding an early collapse of Japan. “The victory which begins to take on assured outlines in Europe is still far off in the East,” he said. It is even impossible for China, England and America to push a concerted drive against the Japan ese from Chinese territory until “the Kuomintang and Communist forces in China cooperate and throw their full weight into the war against Japan.” LOUPOT’S LOUPOT’S A Little Place . . .

Marvin Kaff Clipettes We have heard of chow hounds before, and many of them with a brilliant reputation in their pro fession.*We have unearthed a can didate for a new championship in our own 2nd Co. At least that seems to be indicated for it is un derstood by this writer that the boys are taking up a collection to buy a continuous flow through to accommodate the mighty gustatory effort of “Mac” McEnroe. The group, pictures of the 2nd Co. will be available for distribu tion by next Saturday. This in cludes all of the pictures except those taken of the waiters which will be ready sometime early next week. The impatiently awaited ASTP yearbook wil be out before the end of this month. This is a promise from the editors, so be watching for it. We Can Use You You too can write some article that will go down in history as the greatest piece of literature of its kind throughout the universe. Perhaps you are a prosopographist and do not realize it, but writing will bring it out. The other day one of the fellows had a full box of cigars but no matches so he took out a cigar and made the box a cigar lighter. Well, on the other hand friction always opposes motion while the velocity of A equals the velocity of B plus vec- torially the velocity of A about B doesn’t it? Then there is the one about the Platoon Sergeant who read the an nouncement that all fellows who have traveled in any foreign coun try, excluding Texas, report to the orderly room, and as he did an about face his eyes almost popped out when he beheld the Colonel only a few paces to his front. He withered as do autumn leaves while the Colonel merely smiled and walked on. Are you going to sit in that chair of yours night after night simply idling your time away when you could be turning out stories for the paper? .Any simil arity between this group of letters and the English language is purely coincidental. If you all have the patience to read this you surely have the time to write for the paper. At the beginning of next term there will be a call for all prospective Editors so start plan ning now and we will really be able to put out a full page of A. S. T. U. news that will hold the interest of every reader of the Battalion. An Accolade For Dr. C. D. Leake Last Wednesday night the mem bers of the loci chapter of the A. V. M. A. were privileged to hear Dr. Chauncey D. Leake, Dean of the University of Texas Medical School. The comments overheard concerning this talk by Dr. Leake left no doubt as to the impression he made upon his listeners. The dis course by Dr. Leake was interest ingly and convincingly rendered and was exceedingly timely for the sen ior class in veterinary medicine. After listening to Dr. Leake we can well understand the high regard held for graduates of the Texas Medical School. Noteworthy Once again, dear reader, the adage, “Birds of a feather flock to gether,” has been proven horribly true. The proboscis lads have, in their latest frolic, turned out to be the object of much discussion. And in answer to thei r plea we wish to notify you that their ac tions are entirely within the mode of the times. Prehistoric times. If you lads “ain’t” ever whistled before you had better practice contracting that old orbicularis oris now as one of those Brenham lasses is being turned loose in our big pasture. This event is due to take place with dancing Charlie (No-Doz) Bridges at the local shoe salvage tonight. Howeve r we have an authoritative statement from the^ Prof, of Brindle steers, Mr. Stranger, that this fair one might arrive astride one of those mangy critters with a six gun on each hip. He furthermore states that they are sure hard to bulldog. Ah! Rain! They say that Hollywood is re known for having a pool in every back yard. What is that to get excited about? Here at A. & M. we have a pool every two feet and a good likelihood of having even more of them. This splurge of pre cipitation recalls the days of ’37- ’38 when it rained for thirty days and as many nights. That was the year the ducks set up housekeep ing on Kyle Field and the sea gulls chased blue marlin across the drill field. There was only one lad that enjoyed this dampening de luge. He was used to it thought, for he was from Los Angeles. We all cuss this kind of weather, but just think, when this wether lets up P. T. starts again. Every cloud has its silver lining. c@(L[yf@/f University of Cincinnati SENIORS' IN NURSING VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO SPEED UP THEIR COURSE SO THEY MAY BE GRADUATED* EARLIER..

News By Milets Pie r ce Mr. and Mrs. now precedes the addresses on the envelopes of two more Q. M. boys, Lee O. Nisbet from Lometa, Texas, and Walter L. Scott from Graham, Texas. And from the looks on their faces, it’s love all right. How do we know? Because everytime we say “shoot the dirt” at mealtime, they dream ily say, “Please keep it clean.” Love certainly does more than one strange thing, no? As before, in the Second Student Training Company, the Q. M. b r ought forth another leader in the person of B. B. Isbell to fill the shoes of the cadet first Sergeant. Isbell, a veteran first Sergeant from “B” Company of the A. & M. Aggie ROTC days, hails from Col lierville, Tenn., but he is 100 per cent a soldier, aggie, and QM. Most of the time for the fighting QM is now taken up with term themes and quizes heralding the end of the semester. Come rain or shine, it’s always the last min ute for studying for these two items, so its red noses and cold wet feet fo r this week’s sick book as the boys make an all-out round for the librar yevery night.

Speaking of cold weather, it b r ought out of the closets and from under the dust the thing that set tled the rivalry between vets and QM for the time being. What was it ? It was Artie Overshoes, a sign of taking basic training where they were issued to the QM—vet erans of the battle of Wyoming and almost entitled to foreign war stripes— Lt.

Tickets for this affair are being sold at $1.50 per banquet plate and $2.50 for the dance. Banquet tickets are now on sale and can be purchased anytime. Avery urges that all of the seniors who can buy now to do so as it is necessary for the committee to know approximately how many seniors and their dates to prepare for. Jimmy Souris will have charge of regular student tickets. He can be found in room C-6 of Walton Hall. Announcement as to other men who will sell tickets will be made later. Dance tickets are in the process of being printed now, and they can be bought as soon as they can be distributed to the men who will be in charge of selling them. Price for these tickets has been set at $2.50, good for one couple’s en trance. Further announcement as to progress that is made will appear in a future issue of the Battalion, but Avery urges that plans be made by each senior on the cam pus to attend this traditional sen ior ring banquet, ceremony, and dance, and act upon the sug gestions made by the commit tees as to the immediate buying of tickets so that this affair will be a success in every way possible. —LASS-O— (Continued From Page 1) office.

Hud dled around the big circular copy desk, the headline writers and proof readers slave over last-min ute jobs, while the editors strain over make-up sheets. Oh there’s a wonderful atmos phere around the journalism build ing, what with teeth gnashing, telephones ringing, and insane columnists tearing their hair. The director of the journalism depart ment is the sole calming factor. His comment on drastic situations, such as a complete mislaid story, is, “that’s turrible!” Then every body grins, and someone promptly finds the story. Friday, publication day, is the star of the show. It’s the way everybody looks, I guess. You know, printer’s ink spotting up turned noses and long-suffering elbows. Hands all black. Then there’s the continual rush to meet the 5 p. m. deadline, accompanied weekly by a coke bet or two with the print shop force on the sub ject, “Will we make it?” Do you know what? Those cokes taste good. —FORMER— (Continued From Page 1) phases of the problem. Sholom Aleichem, who has been chosen as the theme of discussion, is recognized as the greatest Jew ish humorist of his time. His studies of Jewish types, character evaluations, humorous sketches, are accepted as literary classics with the writings of Dickens, Bal- zais and Mark Twain. Sholom Aleichem writes in Yiddish, but his work has been translated in all modern languages. Maurice Sam uel, the English translator, is him self a writer of first magnitude. The meeting will be held at the Lounge Room of Sbisa Hall on Sunday, January 16th at 7 p. m., and will be open to the Public. —CHAMPE— (Continued From Page' 1) room . . . and helping me up and down stairs.
