CLUBS
New Deadline for
All Club Reports
Attention of all club reporters
is called to a new deadline for
all campus group reports.
Write-ups on club activities or
plans must be turned in to the
Battalion office type written
not later than 2 p.m. Friday pre
ceding publication date. This
rule will probably apply also
when bi-weekly publication is
begun.
The Battalion is now makinj;
a concentrated effort to give
space to those clubs who are
having meetings and activities
of interest to the student. As
has been stated before we are
sorely lacking in space and it
is because of this that the Batt’s
news coverage is not as com
plete as it should be.

SONIA, the leopard displays his
affection toward DAMOO DHO
TRE as they will appear in the
Sparks Circus at the Bryan show-
grounds on October 28.
A personification of the circus’
international scope is found in
Damoo Dhotre, the celebrated
Hindu wild-animal trainer, to be
seen with the famous Sparks Cir
cus when it appears in all its
pre-war glory at the Bryan Show-
grounds, South Main Street, on
Monday, October 28.
Damoo was an eager lad of 10
when he joined Sheller’s Royal
Circus in Poons, India, the city
of his birth. There was nothing
around the circus which young
Damoo did not learn to do. He
became an acrobat and aerial ar
tist; as a trick cyclist he set some
sort of record by spanning a 33-
foot gap in mid-air on a bicycle.
But it was in animal training that
Damoo found his true place. He
learned to work with all sorts of
animals, wild and domestic.
Damoo Dhotre traveled through
out the Orient—in India, Burma,
Ceylon, Indo-China, the Malay
States, and the Dutch East Indies.
In 1939 he went to Europe and be
came a trainer for the great Al
fred Court.
Soon thereafter he came to the
United States, and during his
three years in Uncle Sam’s Army,
Damoo attained full citizenship.
The cats Damoo presents were
trained in French, but since com
ing to the U. S., “they have become
bilingual”, states the Hindu. He
is as proficient in English as his
native language and has become
an American for keeps.
Every time we spin a yarn the
wife knits her brows.
A scientist maintains that it
isn’t the eyes that reveal one’s
thoughts, but the lower part of
the face. Meaning the mouth, of
course.
