Arsenals^ Armories, Cities
By MORGAN VINCENT
Camp is well under way here at
the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and
al|! Aggies are well into the rou
tine of camp life.
] The first three weeks were tak
en up with orientation and field
trips with several Aggies having
leading foies in camp administra
tion. The first week found David
Sheffield and Wayne McLaughlin
on the battalion staff and Jim
Berry as the hard-working) First
Sergeant of Company A.
The third week opened with Les
lie Powers as battalion command
er, Morgajn Vincent as company
commander of Company A, and
Preston Curry as one of the pla
toon leaders.
One of three field trips made
was to Chambersburg, Pennsyl
vania, where the huge Letter-
kenny Ordnance Depot is located.
Here the group saw the latest
methods in army storage and
nunteoMite.I j
Another trip was to nearby
Edge wood Arsenal where a tour
of the chemical corps post was
made and chemical warfare tech-
niques demonstrated. The third
was to Frankford Arsenal near
Philadelphia. Here the group saw
ohe of the largest ammunition
manufacturing establishments in,
the nation and a complete inspec
tion tour was made df the many
different shops.
At camp Aggies have learned .to
pilot two and u half) ton trucks

54 Reserve Army
Officers Apply
For Active Duty
Applications from 54 Reserve
Qfficers desiring threp years ex
tended active duty’ with the Army
have been received during the last
week, the office of the Senior In
structor of the Organized Reserves
in Austin announced today.
Even with this rapid increase of
applications, Colonel Oscar B. Ab
bot, Senior Instructor, $aid that the
Army is still in need of officers to
initiate the expansion program, of
the various posts, camps, and sta
tions' throughout the United
States. He stated that especially
anti-aircraft officers'" are needed
at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Colonel Abbott also announced
that all regular army non-com-
rrjissioned officers who hold a re
serve commission have been advis-.
ed that the Army desires that they
state whether or not thyy d^jose to
return to their former officer sta-
tqs and go on extended duty as
spell or remain in tHeir present
non-commissioned officer status.
Without doubt, many of the pre
sent regular army non-commis
sioned officers that are stationed
in Texas will take advantage of
this new regulation, Golonel Ab
bott said. ■ .

Another day was spent on one of
the tank courses driving tanks of
all classes. Though no broken
bones were reported, some Aggies
were wondering if maybe a little
too much is expected of a tank—
after all, they weren’t designed to

A tour of the one hundred
square miles of the Aberdeen Prov
ing Grounds brought olut countless
points of interest to approximate
ly 250 cadets from all over the
country. They have been broken
up into their own school groups
and for the last three weeks will
approach twentyrfive diff e r e n t
problems.
One of the problems presented
the Aggies was to study the ef
fects of sub-zero weather upon
ammunition. After donning heavy
fleecje-liped clothes and going to
work in the cold room, the Aggies
found « quick appreciation for
wnrfl sunshine us the experiment
called for test firing « 105 howit

With the weeks passing by the
Aggies are having troubles with
a crumped billfold situation but are
doing their best to keep it from
slowing them down. The major
cities nave been visited regularly,
and everyone attended the Wash
