agent. 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.

Man, Your Manners
By I. Sherwood
A. & M. depends largely on the
dance for its social life; it is im
portant in the life- of the student.
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.

Of course, after the war began,
the camps were filled with pris

were imported for slave labor and
the like, but two weeks before
Germany’s surrender, when the
American editors visited the
camps, there still were many hun
dreds of Germans in the concen
tration camps.
