CUB PACK 102 POSTPONES JULY
MEETING
All Cub Scouts and parents of Cub
Scouts have been notified, that there will
be no Cub Pack meeting for July at
College Station, according to an announce
ment just released by Ide P. Trotter, Chair
man Club Scout Committee.
This postponement is caused by three
factors:
1. Many Cobs are away from College
Station and general Cub activities have
been sharply reduced for the summer.
2. Very few advancements have been
leported and therefore few awards are
completed. Those will be held over for
later.
3. The regular meeting time of 7:30
p.m. on Thursday. July 27, conflicts with
the dinner honoring President and Mrs.
Gibb Gilchrist. Since the parents of Cubs
ir.this area are largely planning to at
tend this dinner, the Cub meeting 1 is im
practicable.
Mid-term Grades
Posted Saturday
With the finishing of quizzes
this week and the grades being
put out next week, many students
will qualify for the Dean’s Team.
For the new students, the Dean’s
Team is the group of students who
fail to make the grade at mid
semester, and due to this, must
suffer the consequences set up by
the college authorities.
In order to stay off the dean’s
list, students are required to post
ten grade points and ten credit
hours at mid-semester. Failure on
the part of the student to make
these necessary grades results in
certain privileges being taken
away from him. Instead of this
serving as a punishment for lack
of studying, this system serves as
a help to the student. If the stu
dent cannot make his grades, the
college wants to help him and this
system of the Dean’s Team has
proven the best method thus far.
So, if you are one who qualifies
for the team this time, buckle down
and make the best of it because
the semester is only half gone and
all is not lost.

Infinite, undying—
Man, make a note of this:

Many will remember Gus Acker,
Class of ’46, who left school a few
months ago to enlist in the navy.
Gus writes from San Diego that
he has seen only one ex since don
ning the navy blue. He has con
verted a few yankees though, for
he says, “You should hear them
sing ‘Beer for old A. & M.,’ and
the ‘Aggie War Hymn.’ They've
really got that old Aggie Spirit.”
Gus gets his mail at U.S.N. Hos
pital Corps School, Company 21-1,
San Diego, 34, California.
With The Team . . .
If present indications are borne
out A. & M. will field a team next
fall that will carry the maroon
and white to many a sweet vic
tory. One in particular and you
know of whom we are speaking.
Wednesday afternoon the boys
scrimmaged a few minutes and
even though they are green and
inexperienced they already have
that fire and hustle of Aggie teams
of past years. They have the Spir
it. Does the corps have the spirit?
Have any of the yell leaders been
down watching the football team
work out? Do the yell leaders
know the boys on the team, Can
they tell the corps how hard the
team has been working? Can they
tell the corps that the Aggie foot
ball team belongs to the corps?
Off-Campus Distractions
When an Aggie is off the cam
pus or» on the campus for that
matter, short dresses have the ef
fect of making him look longer.
When all these guys are out with
their gals this weekend there is a
note of warning that must be
heeded. Though it isn’t the season
for colds, pneumonia and such,
every thinking man will be careful
to stay away from the grip. Whose
grip? The grip of some of these
clinging vines. Even though di
vorce is the key to wedlock the
J. P.’s are still tying knots.
Are there any - scotch boys in
A. & M.? Maybe they can answer
a perplexing question. We’ve been
wondering if Scots are close danc
ers.
These women we are going to
see about Saturday night are fickle
creatures as can easily be seen
when it is understood that between
dances she will be with you and
most likely she will be against
you the rest of the time.

Men lately have been saved a

thoughtfulness of the mess hall.
In this hot weather anything that
saves a little energy is appreci
ated.
Ed Prather found a tooth in his

with one just a wee bit larger.
Congratulations Johnny. Don’t
