Yep, I bet 'you still don’t have your eyes open ienough even to read this column. iThat’s just about the way we feel up this way. It’s hard to get back into that thing known as studying. 1 Tessies began invading the cam- us Sunday and by Monday every- ne was almost here, even if not n spirit. Well, what can you ex- )ect after two weeks of bliss, com- nonly known as the holiday ? Profs ook one look at their classes and ,aid “Your faces look vaguely fa- niliar.” Sunday night after we arrived (ere was spent in discussing the an over the holidays and wishing ‘ke heck we were still having holi- ays. It seems that no one was nxious to get back. (This last entence isn’t meant as bad pub- icity, really. In all seriousness, hough, this seems to have been )ig-ma Xi Hears Talk by Reeves Dr. R. G'.

WASH and GREASE This is a real bargain in a double feature because both are as good as money can buy. Drive in today, or let us call for and deliver your car. Aggieland Service Station “At the East Gate” Your Friendly MAGNOLIA DEALER just about the most wonderful Christmas in ages.) Many Tessies came back as members of that “third-finger-left- hand-club.” This is the talk of the campus, as so many are flashing diamonds received during the holi days. Thought I’d catch up on sleep and rest during the holidays, but it didn’t work. Now, I’m just as sleepy as ever, and here exams are coming up soon. In two weeks in fact. And then, more holidays, maybe. You’d never get the im pression we like holidays, would you? Someone was asking the oth er day just how long it is until the Easter holidays. Enough rambling for now. If you’ve stayed awake enough to read this far, that’s something. See you next week. SUE JONES, TSCW Correspondent.

Kiwanis Observes 31st Anniversary At Next Meeting Members of the Kiwanis Club of College Station will observe the 31st anniversary of Kiwanis In ternational during the week of Jan uary 20 to 26 with a program based on the service organization’s 1946 administrative theme, “Build for Peace—Unity—Opportunity.” George Wilcox, president of the club, said today that plans for the anniversary meeting, to be held at noon Tuesday, Jan. 22, 1946, at the Sbisa Hall, had been virtually completed. An outstanding feature of the anniversary celebration will be the reading of a message from Hamil ton Holt, Macon, Ga., prominent southern industrialist and presi dent of Kiwanis International. Founded in Detroit immediately previous to the beginning of World War I, Kiwanis International now embraces 153,000 business and pro fessional leaders in more than 2,300 communities throughout the United States and Canada. Its contributions toward the con duct of World War II were con sidered outstanding by the govern ment, especially in the fields of war bond sales, scrap collections, blood donations, and aid to service men and women. A number of cita tions were awarded to the organi zation by various departments of government. Kiwanis International already has thrown its weight behind the reconversion program and is pre paring to launch a broad forum program for the purpose of devel oping public discussion on vital national issues. George Wilcox said that plans for the anniversary meeting were being directed by a committee con sisting of John Sperry, A. L. Schipper, G. B. Wilcox, J. E. Lou- pot, D. B. Gofer, H. W. Hooper and C. B. Campbell. Campus Study Club Hears Mrs. Ashton, Sees Travel Film The Campus Study Club met Tuesday afternoon at the YMCA at College Station with Mrs. R. P. Adams as hostess. The speaker’s table was ornamented with an ar rangement of yellow chrysanthe mums, dutch iris and shasta daisies. Mrs. P. B. Pearson presided at the business session. Mrs. Carl W. Lyman and Mrs. R. M. Curran were elected to membership in the club and the resignation of Mrs. Bill Turner was accepted with regret. Mrs. John Ashton spoke on “America’s Heritage”. The history and culture of this country are products of contradictory back grounds and origins, she said. The United States is not essentially Anglo-Saxon even though English is the language of the country; rather it is a blend of a diversity of colors from every land. Mrs. Ashton said that these influences are not always for good as cus toms and ideas sometimes clash, but ferment and antagonism is life and stagnation is not. A film, “New England”, show ing places of great historical sig nificance in New England, was shown by Dr. R. M. Pinkerton. Ar rangements for the film were made by Mrs. E. B. Reynolds who, after wards, led in a discussion of it. A. & M.
