Campus Theater
Aids March of
Dimes Campaign
Theater Patrons Urged
To Put Dimes in One
Of Lobby Containers
Plans have been made by the
Campus theater to support the
March of Dimes which is a nation
al institution beginning on Janu
ary 24th and lasting through Jan
uary 30th, the date of the presi
dent’s birthday, it was announced
today by the manager. Every
Aggie, serviceman, and patron of
the theater is urged to contribute
to this worthy cause, aiding those
who are stricken with Infantile
Paralysis and cannot help them
selves.
In the lobby of the Campus, pa
trons will find containers repre
senting the 48 states in the union.
It is to be a battle of the states
with each trying to see if their
state can’t contribute the most.
This should paticularly interest
servicemen who are here from
out-of-state and have listened to
Texans talk of the “best state in
the union”. This will give the
people from Texas a chance to
see that they have the best repre
sentation. As for the containers,
a dinae is all that is asked for. No
one will miss such a small amount
of money so it is urged that
every person who enters drop a
dime in.
A score of the contributions by
states will be kept by day; it will
be kept there all week. ,It is urg
ed again that everyone who can
help in this worthy cause; those
who are helped by the money that
is given will need it.

Swift, Aggie-Ex,
Sent to Camp Hood
Col. Kurtz Replaces
Thirlkeld, Who Goes
To Cavalry Outfit
Col. Lawrence A. Kurtz, former
ly commanding officer of Camp
Swift, has been named command
ing officer of Camp Hood to
succeed Col. C. M. Thirlkeld, who
has been transferred to Fort Clark
after 18 months as head of one
of the Army’s largest and most
completely equipped military in
stallations.
A native Texan and a graduate
of A. & M. College, Col. Kurtz is
expected to asume his new duties
Thursday. Col. Thirlkeld will be
come commanding officer of Fort
Clark, a cavalry camp at Bi*ackett-
ville, Texas.
Col. Kurtz has served more than
26 years in the Army, having been
commissioned a second lieutenant
of Field Artillery in 1917 upon
graduation from A. & M. with an
electrical engineering degree. Dur
ing World War I he served in
California and elsewhere in this
country and later was on duty with
the Army of Ocupation in Germany
and France. Duty also carried him
to other countries and to numer
ous posts in the United States.
Prior to being named post com
mander of Camp Swift, Col. Kurtz
built and commanded the Fort Sill
Reception Center. He asumed com
mand of the then incomplete Camp
Swift in April, 1941, and activated
the post on May 4. Under his com
mand, Camp Swift has become one
of the outstanding camps in the
country.
Col. Kurtz has three children, a
son, Lawrence A. Kurtz, Jr., a
graduate of the U. S. Naval Acad
emy, now on duty as a lieutenant
in the South Pacific; a daughter
of Washington, D. C.; and a
younger daughter who resides with
his mother, Mrs. Florida Kurtz, at
Smithville, Texas.
Col. Thirlkeld has been com
manding officer at Camp Hood
since July, 1942.
He came to Camp Hood as exe
cutive officer under Maj. Gen. A.
D. Bruce, then commanding gen
eral of the Tank Destroyer Cen
ter, long before the opening of
the camp, however, and in July,
