From him we learned that her “Salome” has proved a smash- hit all over the country and that she is rapidly on her way to top- notch stardom. After leaving Miss De Carlo’s set, the Aggies visited on the set of the latest picture of Miss Ella Raines, Miss Geraldine Fitzgerald, and George Saunders. There they had the pleasure of conversing a few minutes with those stars, and witnessing the shooting on their latest picture. After leaving the set, they found an entire day had slipped by, and so took their leave of Universal. In passing out their famous gates, Kearby and Spragins both re marked how gratifying it was to have everyone remember A. & M. and acknowledge the Aggies as they did. Apparently, the principles for which A. & M. is famous made a powerful impression on everyone out there, and certainly they have never forgotten the Aggies.

Pre-war dances at A. & M. were grand affairs with very elaborate decorations. All authorities on dance manners insist that a man or woman must know how to dance before attend ing a dance; they insist that at the dance is not the place to learn to dance. “Cutting in” is the accepted tech nique at dances, even though it has the earmarks of rude procedure. It seems tobe the only way to han dle the problem, of 3 “stags” to one “dated” man, and to finance the dance. “Cutting in” has an etiquette all its own. Under the system, a man on the sidelines, seeing a girl with whom he wishes to dance, simply approaches the couple on the floor and lays his hand on the Department of Education, and Capt. J. O. Musick, of the State Department of Public Safety. Wed nesday’s program included discus sions on health in the schools by Dr. S. B. Culpepper, of the State Department of Education, and Dr. D. B. Harmon, of the State Depart ment of Health. Horror Camps Were Built for Germans, Says Houston Editor Everybody in Germany was not converted to the doctrines of Adolph Hitler and his cohorts, ac cording to M. Emmett Walter, managing editor of the Houston Chronicle, who spoke Wednesday evening under auspices of the Col lege Station Kiwanis Club at the Baptist Church here. Had every German agreed with the policies of Hitler there would have been no prisoners in the concentration camps prior to the outbreak of the war, and information obtained by the group of 18 American news paper editors and publishers proved conclusively that the ‘horror camps’ originally were built and operated for German political prisoners. shoulder of the girl’s partner, who must relinquish the girl to him. According to the rules, if he wishes to remain popular a man who has been “cut in” on will not cut back until the couple have danced around the room once or the girl is dancing with another part ner; he should not cut in on a couple sitting out a dance.
