Do you give out with the famous American “hello” or 'do you let go with a dirty look and go on without a word? This is the second day of a new semester for many of the old Aggies. For a few this is the second day of a new stage in the educational process. There are others besides Aggies, and these are the servicemen who are using our educational facilities for the duration and faculty or college employees who make this campus their home during the day. The campus, then, is made up of several thousand peo ple who, if they showed a better attitude toward each other, could make Aggieland a better campus to live and work on. For many years, A^ & M., Texas, the South, and, broad ly speaking, the entire United States has had the name of being the friendliest nation in existence. There is no need for this to become a false statement, but it can be if too many people become as individualistic as they are prone to do. Aggieland is now made up of men from every state in the nation. It is here that the friendly spirit of Americans could rise again. There is one simple remedy for this, and anyone can use it. This is to go out at the beginning of a new day with the resolution that you will speak to everyone you meet. This should apply to freshmen,* upperclassmen, servicemen, faculty, administrative officers, and any others who might not fall in any of these classes. It won’t hurt any one to lend a little cheerfulness to the campus, and it will make those spoken to a little happier.

A Big Saving change their government just to get an easy peace, we won’t con vince them that war doesn’t pay. If that happens we may almost as well have lost the war,” said the University of Texas’ professor of government, Dr. John L. Mecham, recently, who believes that the kind of peace that is made after the war doesn’t count so much as the way that peace is carried out. HELP BRING VICTORY BUY WAR BONDS TODAY!

One Spanish professor at the University of Texas gives nickels to students in his beginning Span ish classes who give him correct answers to his questions. Thursday, speaking in Spanish, he approached a freshman: “Have you ever been to Venice?” “Yes,” she answered, “Were you there in the eigh teenth century?” When the girl answered in the affirmative again, she received a shiny new nickel. Which all goes to prove that the healthy Texas climate really makes for a long life! The War Prisoner Fund drive sponsored on the campus of A. & M. by the YMCA has passed the $1,000, it was revealed this morning by J. G. Gay, associate secretary of the local organiza tion. The drive was started about two weeks ago among the service men and students on the campus to raise funds to supply educational and recreational mat erial for the soldiers, sailors and marines' of the United States Armed Forces in German prison camps. Early reports from the drive in dicate that the funds will reach nearly $2,000 before the campaign is completed. A tabulation of the results of the drive thus far in dicate the following., i-^turns: , Air ^ 139 - 1311 Detai 1FF ; _ uoi;b 95.00 ROTC Aggie Students 153.92 A r m y Specialised Training Units 659.51 Civilian and Faculty 26.00 $1034.43 Donations from some of the Air Crew squadrons have not as yet been reported and also from the Aggie Corps. Navy and Marine units on the campus have not as yet been reported, it was stated. M. L. Cashion, secretary of the YMCA on the campus, pointed out that this drive was made as a part of a national collegiate drive carried on by the World Student Service Fund branch of the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation and funds raised would be turned in to the national head quarters where they would be utilized toward extending service to American boys in the German prison camps. A direct contact has been made with the German branch of the organization and the German Government has granted permission for the WSSF to supply men with books, ath letic and recreational equipment. A large number of colleges and universities in the United States have agreed to permit credit hours to be allowed toward degrees in work studied in the German pris on camps, provided instruction is done by a person holding proper degrees and in otherwise qualified to teach. Staff and faculty members and civilians are urged to make con tributions toward this cause. It was pointed out that in most pris on camps the necessities of life are given to the prisoners, but nothing is provided for educa tional and recreational facilities. It is through this campaign spon sored by the YMCA that these factors may be given to Ameri can boys who will be forced to M/ JAPS' DO YOUR PACT * BUY WAR BONDS TUESDAY MORNING, FEB. 8, 1944 —DUNNINGER— (Continued from page 1) r— ourdown on Campus distractions By David Salifaaa talist. He has read the minds of six presidents of the United states, and of many of the country’s greatest psychologists. He claims no supernatural powers, declar ing: “Any child of three can de velop telepathic powers . . . with thirty years of practise.” He began to take serious notice of his amazing gift of telepathy when he was in his teens. He developed the novel habit of casually informing his parents after hearing a telephone or door bell ring, of the identity of the caller. “Naturally they were amazed and dumbfounded”, he says. Dunninger still dumbfounds an acquaintance by triumphantly announcing the caller’s name be fore any words have been ex changed. He also has a highly developed knack of remembering telephone voices and once told a comparative stranger who called up: “I can hear a voice on the telephone and remember it for thirty years. . . . call me back thirty years from now!” spend the duration of the war in imprisonment. Mail your contri butions directly to M. L. Cashion, secretary of the College YMCA, Campus, A. & M. College, College Station, Texas. Any amount will be acceptable and will go for a good cause in that it will bring relief and aid to some American boy who is imprisoned because he fought for your right to freedom and liberty. Horses and Mules Now Obtainable On Farms Large numbers of horses and a few mules are being disposed of by the War Department, and Tex as farmers and ranchers, who are interested can inquire for details to the Commandant, Remount De pot of Fort Reno, Okla., which is disposing of 3,900 head. The Texas A. and M. College Extension Service has been noti fied that most of these animals are of the cavalry type, although some field artillery stock is included. Practically all are geldings, and ages run from six-year-olds to 20 years. Everyone remembers Ted Lewis, his orchestra, his top hat, and “Is Everybody Happy?” all of which compose the main attraction of the Campus Theatre for Tuesday ana Wednesday. Ted Lewis comes to the screen this time after a long time off the stage. It is, an attempt at a vaudeville performance and is not rated very highly among movie critics. Michael Duane and Nan Gwynne are co-starred in the other lead roles. Lowdown: “Is Everybody Hap py?” will make all Ted Lewis fans happy. Under the auspices of Town Hall, Joseph Dunninger, world- famed mentalist, will appear at Guion Hall tonight at 8 o’clock. This mental marvel has read the minds of six presidents and has performed before many audiences throughout the world. Everyone who sees this master-mind will leave the theater awe-stricken with his great psychological ability. A beautiful princess from a war- torn European country and an American flyer make a smash hit in Guion Hall’s Tuesday and Wed- Dial 4-1181 Opens 1 p.m. TODAY & WEDNESDAY TED LEWIS “IS EVERYBODY HAPPY” with NAN WYNN MICHUAL DUNNE also Phantasy Cartoon “THE COCKY BANTAM” nesday movie.

Puzzled Robert Cummings takes Olivia to his apartment for the night. Then follows a series of delightful events as a couple of average American sweethearts. Of course, the outcome is marriage.
