The? teusippers were too much a temptation and floated good on a midnight lab conducted by the Ag- John. SijlcConnell and Charlicl Mat tel must have thought they had one tool many when they came in the other night ami groped around fun quite a time without finding thgiribed*. After a little recommix- xancC they discovered some prank- xteira had tied their “sacke" to the cellltiig.

Tuesday night the I) T roopers have,scheduled a big bear bust and Thursday night is Uin all ROTC dance'with dates coding from Austin, Waco, Tem ple, and surrounding towns. It is rumored, that the Aggies will get morel than their share of dates from the crowd. Thursday afternoon is sche duled for graduation ceremonies at which time several Aggies will acquire that little gold bar. The \ rest of the Aggies will b^- on the waiting list for next June. - TrainingTat Hood last week con sisted mainly of seeing demonstra tions of armored infantry and tank battalions in action. The 2nd Arm ored Division put on some very interesting shows for the trainees. Those infantry and tank teams working together in mock battle wert; enough to convince all of the cadets‘that ‘ they wouldn't want to face Jtne 2nd in real battle. It wouldn’t be too bad to be on the same team, though. The most interesting demon-, stration was at' night. An 'in fantry platoon set up entrench ments on a hillside for,a counter attack and demonstrated how much fire power a' small unit could have. ”/ Everyone was greatly impressed when everything started popping at once.

A reddish mottling appears on the skin, and a hacking cough de velops. The headache is the out standing symptom because of- its severity. Illness may last; from 5 to 14 days.
