Stress Greater Use Of
County Resources In
National Food Program
Dr. I. P. Trotter, chairman of
the Bryan and Brazos County
Chamber of Commerce Agricul
tural Committee today announced
the completion of a program
for 1944. The program was formed
in an effort to continue to en
courage the greatest possible
amount of production of all farm
commodities, particularly food,
feed, and fiber.
The poultry project will be con
tinued but the major emphasis will
be shifted to turkey production.
The feed and pasture project is
a combination of the former work
on pasture improvement and feed
production and preservation.
The dairy project will be con
tinued by encouraging local busi
ness men to sponsor dairy pro
jects in the county.
The homes and gardens com
mittee will strengthen and ex
pand their work in line with the
national program for food pro

PENNY’S SERENADE
W. L. Penberthy ——
Surely one of the chief aims of
sports is to teach us to be good
playmates and I feel that Dr.
Dudley B. Reed, of the University
of Chicago and a personal friend
of mine has summed it up in the
following words:
“Do you chance ever to have
thought of what is involved in be
ing a good playmate ? The sub
ject is worth a passing thought.
It goes without saying that good
sportsmanship is involved. And
what a host of splendid connota
tions are in that phrase ‘good
sportsmanship’. In fineness it
yields only to such unforgettable
and, fortunately, inescapable words
as courage and loyalty and love.
It smacks of courtesy and fair
play and unselfishness. It means
playing always to win, always at
one’s best, but always within the
rules. It means knowing how to
win modestly and lose generously.
“But the good playmate must
have more, even, than good sportsf
manship. His attitude and behav
ior must be such that the whole
game is elevated in enjoyment be
cause of his participation. He
should have zest for the game and
for life. His pleasure in the whole
performance should be evident. He
should be able to laugh at ap
propriate times—and what a joy
and asset a hearty, infectious laugh
can be! He should be spontan
eous. Spontaneously he will say,
“Oh, good shot!” when an oppon
ent deserves it. With equal ap
preciation he should be able to
exclaim, “Am I sour?” when his
own performance is ludicrously
bad. Thus he radiates enjoyment,
and the more joy he radiates the
more he has for himself. It is not
a poor thing to be pronounced a
good playmate.”

the test should be made known im
mediately to the Student Personnel
Office in order that the necessary
supplies may be ordered.
Both Army and Navy candidates
take the same examination, it was
stated. The test is designed to
test the aptitude and general
knowledge required for the pro
gram of college training and all
qualified students are urged to
take it. At the time of the test
each candidate will be given choice
of service preference, but taking
the test does not obligate the can
didate to enlist in the service.

New Russia Seen
By History Prof.
Los Angeles—(ACP)—“A new
united Russia, based on national
interests, different from either
Tzarist or Soviet Russia, is emerg
ing,” declares Dr. Robert J. Ker-
ner, Sather professor of history
on the Berkeley campus of the
University of California.
The second World War has de
cisively confirmed the trend of
the Soviet Union away from an
internationally directed communist
ideology of world revolution to that
of a great power acting in line
with national interest,” he main
tained. “Like other great pow
ers, based on national interest,
Russia is seeking to have friendly,
though not necessarily communist,
states on her frontiers.
To avoid isolation in which her
security would be menaced, the
Soviet Union stands for a hard and
fast alliance with the United
States, the British Commonwealth
of Nations; and China, as a nuc
leus around which an effective
postwar international organization
should be built.”

Aggies Close Behind in First Half,
But Trailed Long as Game Progressed
The Texas Longhorns staged a mighty rally Monday
night to defeat the Texas Aggies 81-34 and tie the South
west Conference scoring record. Roy Cox, a little five-foot
five-inch guard for Texas, rolled up 30 points alone.
The Aggies got to a slow start in the first half, when
Farrin of Texas sank a quick goal to put the Longhorns out
in front. Bob Summers followed

properly listed and announced. It
is realized that many localities
cannot be identified other than by
APO number, but even such iden
tification will give notice to all
Aggies in that vicinity. The As
sociation office does not have the
location of men overseas so it is
imperative that men all over the
World take the initiative.
At home Chairmen will be re
quested to serve in localities of
the United States where no local
clubs are organized. Where Clubs
are functioning those organiza
tions will make Muster arrange
ments. Most pressing immediate
need is for over-seas men to take
the bull by the horns, arrange a
Muster wherever they are sta
tioned, and advise the Texas Aggie.
Following last year’s successful
innovation, a common program
outline will be sent each Muster
Chairman. Thru that common
program 10,000 A. & M. men on
April 21 will join hands in spirit.
Final details of the program will
be announced later.
American Colleges
Give Heavily To
Student War Relief
American colleges are giving
with increasing generosity to the
cause of world student relief, ac
cording to the World Student Ser
vice Fund, the student war relief
agency which is a part of the
National War Fund. By Febru
ary 1st $235,811.62 had been con
tributed from 261 institutions, in
cluding colleges, preparatory
schools and theological seminaries.
Of this amount, $45,633.92 was
sent directly to the WSSF office
and $190,177.70 was sent to the
National War Fund through com
munity war funds.
This money is often raised in
ingenious and imaginative ways.
At Macalester College (Minn.)
girls enthusiastically took in wash
ing to meet the quota of their
dorm. Hunter College (N. Y.)
staged a Freedom Festival, with
every college organization in
charge of a booth or some enter
tainment. Many colleges have
used variations of this idea which
has been used with brilliant sue- 1
cess for some years in the Sophia
Smith Circus at Smith College
(Mass.) At V. P. I. (Virginia) a
football game between Army and
Navy trainees was specially stag
ed, and brought in $1,427.20.
At Compton Junior College
(Calif.) public speech majors got
real practice by addressing classes
on world student relief during the
week of the drive. At Atlantic
Christian College (N C.) canvas
sers followed up speeches by col
lecting money in steel arniy hel
mets.
An original type of giving was
used in a chapel program at At
lantic Christian College. Presi
dents of the classes, of clubs and
sororities, and the President of
the College representing the facul
ty, were on the stage. Each of the
ten contestants was given in ad
vance a copy of the WSSF Hand
book which contains a section en
titled “Questions and Answers on
the World Student Service Fund”.
The M. C. asked questions from
the Handbook, and if the question
was muffed, the gong was sound
ed. Missing a question cost a
quarter to the organization repre
sented. The reporter wrote:
“Everyone enjoyed it. We didn’t
get so much money in this way
(!) but this was the first day of
the drive and the purpose was to
answer all the questions in the
minds of students.”
Trainees have given magnifi
cently to student relief, in many
cases more generously than civil
ian students. A WSSF traveling
secretary reported that one trainee
who had only a dime left after all
deductions for insurance, war
bonds, etc. gave half of it! Anoth
er had only 1.53 for the month,
after deductions, and gave the en
tire amount. In one college
trainees’ contributions averaged
between 1 and 2 each. In another
unit, solicitations was done on a
squadron giving most generously
Real sacrifice was characterized
muPh student giving. Groups at
Iowa State and Iowa S. T. C. meet
weekly for “Meager Meals.” They
pay a regular price for these, but
eat only one simple dish. The
saving is turned over to the World
Student Service Fund. A recent
report stated:
Receipts $23.00
Cost of meal 3.36
Amount enclosed .. 20.36
Served 53 persons
Preparatory schools are as ac
tive as colleges in giving for stu
dent relief. Reports from 53
schools indicate that they have
given $22,000 to the WSSF and
National War Fund.
Top honors in per capita giving
go to Yale Divinity School, which
not only gave at the rate of $5.82
per student but who also exceeded
their $1500 goal by $31.45.
The World Student Service is

stitutions whose giving has been
especially meritorious.
other one through the hoop to
widen the margin. The Aggies,
coming to, popped one in with
“Wild Bill” Elliot doing the pop
ping. From then on the Aggies
began to tighten and when the
half ended the score board read
32-22.
Fouls were numerous with 40 of
them showing up in the game. The
Aggies committed 22 of the fouls
and Texas finished up with 18
fouls. Several times the referee
stopped the game to untangle some
players and give them free shots.
It was not until the second
half began that the Longhorns
opened up with what seemed to
be the proverbial blitz. Shots
upon shots entered the basket
at the Aggie’s expense with Cox
on the tossing end. Farrin and
Summers got their right amount
of shots in the basket also.
An odd thing happened near the
end of the game. In previous
games the winning team freezes
the ball to enable the opponent
from securing it; but in this game
the Aggies began freezing the ball
to keep Texas from breaking the
confrence scoring record, and it
was Texas who took gambles to
gain the ball.
The reason that the Aggies
failed to make as many shots
was due to the lack of ability
to hit the basket. Many times
their plays put them in the right
position for shots but they
possessed not the shooting eye.
Texas on the other hand had the
shooting eye and nothing could
have prevented them from roll
ing up the tremendous score.
Texas, incidentally, has a unique
way of shooting free shots. The
players take the ball in one
hand and pop the ball in the
basket.
Yelling and attendance of the
Aggies at the game surpassed
games of the past, and helped to
prove to the Longhorns that the
Aggie spirit they witnessed
Thanksgiving Day is still here.
The Aggies will play host to
the Arkansas Razorbacks Friday
Women Dentists To
Play Large Part
Detroit, Mich.—(ACP)—Women
dentists, as scarce now as women
welders were before Pearl Harbor,
will appear in the future in ever-
increasing numbers, Professor
Charles W. Greaser, chairman of
the pre-medical and pre-dental
committee at Wayne university,
predicts.
Professor Greaser points out
that of more than 1,400 dentists
now practicing in Detroit, only 12
are women, and that throughout
the country there are 35 men in
the profession for every woman
“The skill which women in war
industries are displaying in the
manipulation of small tools,,” said
Professor Greaser, “gives ample
evidence of their aptitude for at
least one phase of dental work.
Furthermore, we know that the
few women who have entered the
profession have proved exception
ally successful, particularly in the
fields of children’s dentistry and
orthodontia.”
Dr. Greaser also emphasized the
existing need for Negro dentists,
both male and female, and quoted
Dr. M. Don Clawson, director of
dental education at Meharry med
ical college, Fisk university, as
saying that there are only 2,000
Negro dentists, very few of them
women, serving the 12,000,000
Negroes in the United States.
