What Is Your Reply?
When you pass other people on the campus or on the
street, what do you do? 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 nickel for your thoughts!
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

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!”

secretary of the College YMCA,
Campus, A. & M. College, College

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.
