FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 28, 1944 THE BATTALION PAGE 3 The Lowdown On —TEACHERS— (Continued From Page 1) (^ampus ‘Distractions By Alfred Jefferson Ever try to write a four page theme in thirty-five minutes ? Well, that’s about what Pm doing today, so don’t gripe if the re views are short and to the point. Showing Monday and Tuesday at the Guion Hall Theater is “Lost Angel” with Margaret O’Brien, Marsha Hunt, and James Craig. This is a good story and to this picture and the critics all say it is a picture worth seeing. Craig is little Miss O’Brien’s guardian, more or less, and his leaving her causes her to become ill. When he ^ returns, everything is all-reet, so everybody is happy. The Lowdown: This is a show that you will probably like, al though it is filled with thought and not much action is included. Saturday’s double feature at the Campus has an old picture and a “B” picture. Together they are * o.k. “Remember the Night” with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred Mac- Murray is one that will keep on being a good show for a long time, * even though it is old. The other is “Submarine Alert” with Richard Arlen and Wendy Barrie. Just an other one with plenty of love, some * suspense and a fair action story. The Lowdown: This is a pretty fair double bill, so if you’re around Saturday, drop by. usual standard, but you will prob ably get a good laugh out of it. “Spitfire,” with Leslie Howard, will be shown Tuesday and Wed nesday. It tells the complete his tory of the Supermarine Spitfire, which has been used with great success by the British in the pres ent war. The Lowdown: A picture you will really like. —SOMETHING— (Continued from Page 2) cliff. “The story of today’s re search.” Fads and Quackery in Healing, by Morris Fishbein.

It is “Once Upon a Time,” with Cary Grant and Janet Blair. This has had quite a bit of publicity, and from 'that you will probably think that it is a red-hot produc tion. It is, if you like silly pic tures. The story is absurd, but it will do you good if you’re fed up with « worldly things. Whoever heard of a dancing caterpillar?

The plan calls for a series of 16 4 air landing strips to be built within a radius of 30 miles of the college as testing grounds to study the various kinds of grasses that may be used for landing strips and to determine which of the varieties of grass is most suitable. While in Washington Gilchrist attended the monthly meeting of the Washington A. & M. Club at which he estimates there were 70 members present. At the meeting was Major General Andrew Moses, retired, who was commandant of the college from 1907 until 1911. DR. N. B.
