ATTENTION SENIORS! — CADETS — (Continued from Page 1) and reporters as Sanders stated his views regarding Gilchrist’s per formance as A. & M. head. San ders flung specific instances of suppression of student opinion at the board, and voiced the opinion that Gilchrist spends too much time in Washington and Austin “politicking” when he should be concerned with the affairs of the college. Sanders said he had no speci fic evidence of political corrup tion with him, but warned that stockpiles of information were being collected by two local men. He declined to name the men, but stated that one had been connec ted with the college until three years ago. “Someday those stockpiles will be exposed and will provoke the public to clean up down here,” he warned. ‘School of the Air’ Features Radar From working in deep secrecy on radar aparatus, to broadcast ing about it on the Texas School of the Air program—such was the transition completed by Vick Lind- ley this week. Lindley, as narra tor in a School of the Air Trans cription made this week, told about contributions made by physics dur ing the war, including radar and loran, as well as the atom bomb.

It became necessary to erase that part of the wire (ain’t science wonderful?) and let him have another try at stirring the multitude. The second time, he succeeded. After two and a half hours, sil ence and quiet returned to the campus, but not serenity. Climbing down from the rafters and beams, the wrought up mem bers expressed mixed views of what had just occurred. Some were enthusiastic beyond all bounds. The four bosom buddies might be a cross-section of opin ion. The intellectual element, repre sented by clean-shaven, bored-lookr ing Caruthers T. Shelley, said, “Duh . . . purty good.” Jedidiah Plowe, the homespun philosopher from Dry Gulch, thought that “you can’t talk no tree into falling over.” Walter Frisbee, cool, level-head ed, perspicacious, mused that “this is what we have needed to do all along. No one will clean house for us, especially if he gets a wrong slant from the one-sided propa ganda that’s handed out. Let’s go all the way!” Horace McSwartz said he was sorely disappointed that there were no refreshments served. Is all this the handwriting on the wall ,or is it merely the doodl ing of some idle lounger? The answer only God knows, and He won’t tell. * TENNIS RACKETS RESTRUNG FAST SERVICE SMITH’S North Gate Records and Players, Paints, Varnishes, Wall Paper. CHAPMAN’S Next to P. O.
