Aggieland Service Station “At the East Gate” Your Friendly MAGNOLIA DEALER enrolled in 513 classes held in 475 Texas cities and towns during the 12-months’ period July 1, 1944—• June 30, 1945. The Industrial Extension Service was operated as part of the Texas A. & M. School of Engineering in cooperation with the Texas State Board for Vocational Education. Major programs were supported by State and Federal vocational funds, and were partly financed by the Texas A. & M. College, Director E. L. Williams said. Certain courses were offered spe cifically for war industries, and the instructors were paid from voca tional war training funds. Functions of the Industrial Ex tension Service are grouped under four main heads in the annual re port. These are: teacher training, supervisory (foreman)training, ex tension training for occupational groups, and branch training schools. During the period covered in this report, the SeiVice maintained 24 full-time employees, and 50 em ployees devoting part-time to the program. Branch training schools operated by the Service were supervised dur ing the year by C. H. GToneman. These schools are located at Inks Lake, Cuero, Grand Prairie and Col lege Station. The annual report cites the vari ous courses given in each of the four main groupings of functions of the Services, names the in structors and shows details on number of classes organized, num ber of students enrolled, number of Texas communities represented, and other information on specific courses considered of interest.

You are leaving school at one of the most crucial per iods of our country’s his tory. We are confident that you will uphold the Aggie tradi tions of efficiency and de votion to duty! Ice Cream Company BRYAN, TEXAS Navy Needs Men For Maintenance Of Peacetime Fleet Men to man history’s mightiest fleet as it prowls the world to maintain peace will be recruited in an immediate national drive ac cording to Lieut. Comdr. Jack Bee be, Officer in Charge of Navy Re cruiting in Southern Texas. “Texans, military and civilian, played so memorable a role for the Navy in its phase of winning the war that we are now being called upon to support another great ob jective, maintenance of the peace,” Commander Beebe said. “So great was the response of Texans in those dark, desperate days of 1942, when our own Cruiser Houston was but one of the many victims of the treacherous enemy, that in the minds of Americans Texas almost has become a naval entity in it self. “That tradition must be main tained by voluteers to keep the peace won at so precious a cost to fellow Texans ' and fellow Amer icans.” Commander Beebe announced that volutary enlistments again are being received directly by the Navy, in accordance with a recent presidential decree. Enlistments are being accepted for the regular Navy from those 17 to 30 years of age for four-year terms and from than 17 to 50% for the Naval Reserve for the duration of the national emergency plus 6 months. For those men who have not yet reached 18, and enlist with the consent of their parents, the term of enlistment is only until they reach majority on their twenty- first birthday. Commander Beebe said he anti cipated heavy response to the re cruiting drive, since the Navy of today offers young men a career as well as the more glamorous en ticement of adventurous travel, due to the high specialized equipment developed during the war, such as expanded use of the high speed Diesel engine, radar, radio and oth er devices in the electronics field. The Navy’s recruiting drive is designed to speed demobilization of men with long war service, to re duce the Navy’s calls through Se lective Service and at the same time enable the Navy to fulfill its exten sive responsibilities through the transportation period and beyond, the Commander added. An attractive program for men changing from the Naval Reserve to the regular Navy, and men re enlisting in the regular Navy has been announced, Commander Beebe said. These men retain their rights to mustering out pay, are entitled to full credit for past active duty, are given a special cash re-enlist ment bonus and get up to 60 days’ leave. Applicants should inquire at the nearest Navy Recruiting Station for full information.

Three Members of A. & M. Staff Go Into Retirement Names of three veteran Texas A. & M. College staff members who went into full retirement from the College system Saturday were announced last week by Dr. F. C. Bolton, executive vice pres ident. These are Dr. F. E. Giesecke, S. E. Asbury and L. A. Koening, and their total service to the institution adds up to 109 years. Dr. Giesecke was made professor emeritus, heating, ventilating and air conditioning for the College in 1940 when he was retired from ac tive teaching. His long term at Texas A. & M., dating back to his graduation in 1886, was broken in 1912 when he joined the staff of the University of Texas, but he returned to his alma mater in 1927 and has remained ever .since. During his reign as college ar chitect, beginning in 1895, he de signed a large number of the buildings now in use on the campus. Mr. Asbury retires as assistant state chemist with the Agricultural of the' Texas Cottonseed Crushers Association, said Wamble also will Be custodian of the organization’s machinery and equipment housed in the Cottonseed Products Research Laboratory. A native of Mississippi, Wamble came to Texas A. & M. College as a student as this was the only in stitution of higher education at that time where through chemical engineering he could specialize in cottonseed oil work. After graduation at Texas A. & M. in 1933, Wamble spent the next ten years in fields related to vege table oil technology, including sev en years as chief engineer for the Mississippi Cottonseed Products Company, which operated 16 cotton oil mills. He has been a frequent contri butor to publications devoted to cotton and cotton oil industries, and has been in demand as a lec turer on cottonseed oil mill oper ations before groups within that industry. The Arthur Everts cameo col lection, the largest privately owned collection in the world, dates back 2,000 years. Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood Football has its etiquette for player and spectator. Courtesy is an integral part of the sportsman ship of the playing field. It should also be a characteristic, part of the behavior of the spectator. Spectators are expected to be noisier in their approval of foot ball than at some other sports but small actions unconsciously per- Experiment Station. He entered the station’s service in 1904 but spent one of the intervening years at Harvard. His work through these years has been mostly with analyses of fertilizers, and fertili zer control activities. Mr. Asbury has a wide reputation as a histo rian and for his hobby of growing climbing rosebushes. Mr. Koening Retires as assistant professor of chemistry, a position he has held since 1922. He was in structor in the same subject the first two years he was in A. & M. service. Prior, to his connection with Texas A. & M. College in 1920, Mr. Koening had been connect ed with several high schools, the present TSCW, and Our Lady of the Lake school. formed during moments of excite ment reveal the character of the spectator. One of the surest tests of our courtesy and good breeding is that to which sports and games expose us. The well-bred player doesn’t boo the referee or a player from a visiting team. He compliments the winner of the game and if he is the winner he credits himself with good luck as the cause. It is pretty difficult at times to be a good loser, to be a decent, generous win ner or to play with those who are neither. Certain courtesies are observed by spectators—even though they may be done in a perfunctory man ner. Everyone takes part in the “welcome yell” for both teams. Everyone rises when the Alma Ma ter of either school is sung. Parti sans of both sides applaud an in jured player as soon as he gets to his feet whether he continues to play in the game or has to leave it. When the game is over the vic tory and defeat are over; the sports writers should be the ones to hash and rehash it. John D.
