(Curly) Brient, Jr., class of 1943, has returned this semester to A. & M. to complete his education in the field of Me chanical Engineering. In 1942, Curly was leader of the Aggieland orchestra, and it was during his leadership that the band played some of its all-time important engagements. These three outstanding engagements were played for the Fitch Band Wagon, when that program came to Texas; playing for the “Show Time Broadcast” for the Inter state Theater; and appearing in the motion picture presented of A.&M. life, “We’ve Never Been Licked.” Curley served over three years as an officer in the Paratrooper Artillery, spending his overseas time in the Pacific theater. He was wounded in the Philippines and sent back to the states. He wears the Silver Star among other decorations. When asked if he planned to go back with the orchestra, he says, “No,” I am going to spend my time studying and supporting th,e football club.” Wilnora Barton Joins College Library Staff Recently added to the staff of the College Library, Miss Wilnora Barton of Burnet, Texas, is the new Readers Advisor.

WATCH REPAIRS 1 to 4 Day Service Stems - Crowns - Main Springs - Cleaning Staffs and Crystals T. C. HINMAN Lauterstein Bldg. - N. Gate Joske’s to Erect Branch Store Here What is that new building being constructed by the side of the Campus Theater? That question has been asked by many on the campus, probably because of the unusual construction of the build ing. The building is to be occu pied by Joske’s of San Antonio, and will be a men’s furnishings store. The erection is being done by R. B. Butler Construction Co. of Bryan. Construction of the building is rather unique in that forms are made and placed in position with reenforcing steel rods in the cen ter. A mixture of concrete is then poured and allowed to set. After the concrete has hardened, the forms are removed and raised, being held in place by struts, the slanted boards to the sides of the building. The pro cess of pouring concrete is re peated, thereby building the wall to the desired height. It is expected that the build ing will be completed by Septem ber 1. - Shortages in household items especially soap, will continue if more fat is not salvaged. House wives are encouraged to save the fat from hens that are being culled and canned now. Dr. Trotter Speaks In Colorado Director Ide P. Trotter of the A. and M.
