DVCR.5" FUft 3 TO RAO C HATTERS >1565 214 SOUTH MAIN BRYAN, TEXAS Navy Program Will Be Maintained Washington—Read Adm. Ran dall Jacobs, chief of naval per sonnel, declares “the navy depart ment has no plans to discontinue” its college training program. Jacobs said his bureau “has re cently received a number of in quiries concerning reports that the navy college program may be stopped.” In a statement, he declared: “The U. S. Navy is still ex panding. The urgent need for technically trained young officers continues, and the colleges and universities participating in the V-12 program are doing a splendid job of producing such officers. While changing wartime condi tions may, from time to time, necessitate revision in the quotas for the program in order to con form with the needs of the service, the navy does not contemplate discontinuance of the program.” Have a Coca-Cola = Muchas felicidades (MANY CONGRATULATIONS) .. .from Caracas to Cleveland To strike up friendship, your Yank oil-driller in South America says.

BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY BRYAN COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY AVMA Meets On Wednesday Night Wednesday night, February 23, at 7:15 o’clock, the Junior Chapter of the A.V.M.A. will meet in the amphitheatre of tha Veterinary Hospital to install its new presi dent for the second semester and to make plans for the spring dance. Arthur L. Hogge, president-elect, will succeed Dwight Lichty, out going president, whose term has expired. Other officers will con tinue their tenure until the end of the current semester. Other business to be considered includes the appointment of com mittees for the spring dance and discussion of finances. All mem bers are urged to attend. Cigars will be served. It*s natural for popular names to acquire friendly abbrevia- cions. That’s why you hear Coca-Cola called “Coke**. 0’ This ’N That Man is a hopeful creature and forthwith makes his plans for the future only to find himself op posed by Nature’s whim . . . yes! Quite a number of plans laid by ASTP’ers for this past week-end went agley because the rain, as usual, had its say—first. However, may we hasten to assure those brave but lonely hearts that many natives of this fair expanse predict fair weather, on week-ends, begin ning about the end of March. Announcements via radio and newspapers this week-end threw the rumor machines into high gear as to the where’s, why’s, when’s, and how’s of ASTP’ites in the not too distant future. Solution: Sit tight and let the “gum-beaters” blather—official orders will clarify the situation. Barring mishap, those promised pictures of the Junior and Senior ASTP veterinary students which were not available when the Slip- stick went to print will be distrib uted as inserts either this week end or the early part of next. Again the clarion call clamors cheerfully calling for conscientious co-ordinators of company cud- chewings. Do you yearn to be cre ative ... to see your thoughts in print?

Marvin Miller of the QMC wrote for the men who left our company for OCS saying that they were all in Camp Lee, Virginia, and that their courses began Mon day of this week.

Humphrey of Wayne university in their new book, Race Riot. On the contrary, they state, in looking for a formula to prevent a repetition of violent disturbances which occurred here last June, “segregation in particular must be rejected at the outset, since the only practical preventive course is one involving thousands of work able adjustments which will in ef fect implement the Golden Rule and permit the growth of healthy race relations.” Time and again the authors point to the fact that in Detroit the dis turbances were most violent in dis tricts where conditions approxi mating segregation prevail. Fur thermore, they claim, there was little or no trouble in areas where Negroes and whites live together as neighbors. “We must remember,” they say, “that the blind hate of intolerance is a product not of association but of what sociologists call ‘social dis turbance.’ Let us never lose sight of three great lessons of the De troit tragedy: People who had be come neighbors in mixed Negro and white neighborhoods did not riot against each other. The stu dents of Wayne university—white and black—went to their classes in peace throughout ‘bloody Monday.’ And there were no disturbances be tween the white and black workers in the war plants ...” The conclusion is drawn that only through living, working, and going to school together on terms of equality can the two races solve the problems arising from bi-racial ism.

The hotly contested game, one of the fastest and best seen on the campus, took a 5 minute overtime to decide the outcome. The ASTU five could not find the range throughout most of the game, and the Air Corps boys led nearly all the way. Both teams started the game fast with the Air Corps grabbing the lead with a fast break that kept Barrick and Manker on their heels. The Air Corps kept hitting the bucket to hold a two point lead at the half—24 to 22. At the start of the second half the ASTU pulled up even with the Air Corps, but this was short lived due mostly to the accurate, long range shooting of Karay, who from his guard position led the scoring for the evening and kept the Beavers in the game with his 20 points. Enlivening the second half of the already heated contest, was the argument as to whether Young, Air Corps center, had fouled out. The referee declared that from the official score book Young had four personal fouls. However the argument around the scores bench continued until Joe Buck, ASTU coach, told the ref eree to let Young go back into the game. Young fouled again and was put out of the game with but a few minutes left to play. With a few minutes left Coleman sank a foul shot to give the ASTU a 2-point lead, however the Air Corps countered with two minutes left to tie up the count 43-43. Huff man and Karay traded baskets, with Karay swishing another one of his tallies from near mid-court in the dying seconds of the game. The game ended with the score knotted at 45-45.
