Whether McGurk will con tinue here until the time of his appointment, he did not say, how ever he plans to come back to A. & M. next semester. Engineers are not the only ones CORSAGES for the Corps Dance We Deliver Telephone 2-2400 WYATT FLOWER SHOP 106 E. 26th Bryan Across from Bus Stop that are in deep water with the draft. Charles Trickey, animal hus bandry student, seems to be in the clutches of the army air corps. Trickey is one of many boys who will leave here at one time when the air corps decides to take their next bunch of recruits. But Trickey plans to come back next semester for as long as possible. Another in the same situation as Trickey is Bob Seyle, our other junior yell- leader. Bob is majoring in aero en gineering. He also plans to come back next semester for as long as the air corps will detain calling in the new cadets. John Murchison, who hails from Galveston and is studying E. E., does not seem worried about being called by his draft board. His op timism is warranted by the way he keeps plugging the books at night, buying serge, dating local girls, and such. Ah, but to be at such an ease. Khaler Goodloe, also from Galveston, and taking animal husbandry, is another of these lucky guys with high views about the draft. Goodloe seems certain he will be able to keep plugging those grade points in as long as he wants to. No worries, no noth ing .. . Out of the great majority of the men in the junior class, there are few in comparison who do not plan to come back. There are doubt ful ones who do not know how long they will get to stay since the matter of deferments is out, and time after that fateful day is given out by a merciful draft board. However, as a whole, the class will be back next semester. As a rule, the draft seems to be hitting men of all studies, whether business ad ministration, engineering, or may be vet medicine. Uncle Sam isn’t particular. But if you don’t get that certain greetings by the time you expected, don’t be disappointed, just pay your box rent, room res ervation, fees, and sweat with the 1 rest of us. Be glad to have you with us. BEAT BRYAN FIELD —DANCE— (Continued from page 1) of October 20 followed by a corps ball on Saturday night, October 21.
