This Week’s ’College Speaks’ Presents All-Around Program The “College Speaks” series, heard each week-day at 5:15 p. m. over station WTAW, is planned to interest each individual listener, whether he likes biology, mathe matics, history, or the political situation. This series is designed to give each department at A. & M. an opportunity to speak on some phase of its work. Scheduled for the week of Feb ruary 3-7 is Howard Joham, in structor in the Biology Depart ment, who discussed a phase of the animal kingdom, yesterday. Truett Book, a member of the Modern Languages Department, spoke this afternoon on the pol itical situation in France, com paring it to that in the United States, giving special emphasis to the French political parties and their manner of electing officials. J. L. Shawn, a member of the Mathematics Department, has se lected for Wednesday a brief res ume of the life of Archimedes, con sidered to be the greatest mathe matician in the last 2000 years. Dr. S. R. Gammon, head of the Department of History, on the Thursday program will stress the damage or dis-service that was done to the national government through the actions of Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr, James Wil- kens, and the late Senator H. C. Lodge, grandfather of the present senator. Dr. Gammon entitles his discussion “Damaged Souls”. Miss Wilnora Barton, reader’s advisor at Cushing Library, will devote her Friday program to dis cussing the services that the li brary offers its patrons. During the remaining weeks of the spring semester, Miss Barton will review current books. Four Aggies Named On All-Star Team Four famous Texas Aggie foot ball greats have been placed on an all-star Sugar Bowl team by Fred Digby, sports editor of the New Orleans Item. Digby, one of the remaining 39 members of the New Orleans Mid Winter Sports Association, names seven Southwest Conference play ers to this mythical eleven in his new book, “The New Orleans Su gar Bowl Classic.” John Kim brough won the spot of fullback, Ernie Pannel took over the left- tackle position, while Marshall Robnett covered up the left guard slot. All three players took part in the 1940 Sugar Bowl game be tween A & M and Tulane. Herb Smith won a second team spot as left end and shares the distinction of going the whole game along with Kimbrough, Rob nett and Jim Thompson. Other SWC players to make the team were all from TCU; they include Sammy Baugh, right halfback; Tracy Kellow, right guard; Davey O’Brien,' quarterback; and Ki Aid- rich as center. WE WANT to use this medium to extend our thanks to all of the students for your cooperation, patience and understanding throughout the rush. Your cooperation was a definite aid to us. THANKS OLE ARMY THE EXCHANGE STORE “Serving The Texas Aggies” VA Foots Toupee Bill The Veterans’ Administration in Newark, New Jersey, has just ap proved purchase of a toupee for an unidentified' service man, who claimed the loss of his hair was a service-connected disability. The bald man received a blanket order to get the best one he could find at government expense. But the administration office rejected a former GI’s request for a pension for his dog which saw service in the K-9 corps. Nor would the office pay for shoeing a former soldier’s mule, which was a veter an of the Burma campaign.
