hard and landed an appointment

appointment, he did not say, how
ever he plans to come back to A.

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.

be used to help finance the Sen
