a muddy fox-hole.
The story, though not lacking
its humorous incidents, is not a
pleasant one; the language is nei
ther pleasant nor respectable. The'
book is written in the present tense
because, “in combat man’s life
there is little left but the present
tense.”
Because of the forceful way in
which it is told and because of
the appeal of such characters as
Snuffy Jones and Horse-Face
Brandon, “To Hell and Back”
should be ranked with similar
books by Bill Mauldin and Ernie
Pyle.
To every reader, who wants to
know the truth about the hellish
life of a foot-soldier, this narra
tive by an infantryman who has
earned the praise and respect of a
nation is, therefore, a must.
Murphy has donated 20 auto
graphed copies of “To Hell and
Back” to the college library. For
those who would rather have a per
sonal copy, the book will be on
sale after this Thursday for $3
pei' copy. It is a Henry Holt and
Company publication.
Once you’ve read this fighter’s
story of fighters, you’re liable to
think again before urging our na
tion into another war.

Normal Procedure
Of Scheduling To
Be Resumed in Fall
A&M will resume its normal
procedure of regularly scheduling
for the fall semester those courses
which normally fall in the first
semester programs, M. T. Har
rington, acting clean of the College
saicl today.
This program will begin with
the fall semester of 1949. Excep
tions to this general policy may be
made to enable some seniors to
graduate in January, 1950. Since
a number of students are irregular
in their programs, they should
make every effort in the time re
maining before September to com
plete whatever work will be pre
requisite to those courses offered
in the fall, Harrington saicl.
For that reason, summer school
offerings will be made with that
idea primarily in mind. Students
are asked to check their programs
carefully and to indicate on the
form provided above their need
for the summer session of 1949.
The normal amount of work a
student may carry in a six-weeks
term is six semester hours (or
seven, if one hour is practice), ex
cept that with the approval of the
dean concerned, seven semester
hours (or eight, if one hour is
practice) may be taken by a stu
dent who has earned at least 27
grade points in the preceding se
mester.

Indicate on the form on page 6
your choice of work for the sum
mer session of 1949 and return it
to the Registrar’s office by 5 p. m.

said.

the committee selected one which
seemed to be the most appropriate
for correspondence pertaining to
the occasion.
Livermap also reported that ap
proximately 475 beds would be
available in the dormitories to
house visitors. Special provisions
will be made to house parents and
girl friends who will be here for
the occasion. Most of the housing
in the dormitories will be allotted
to prospective students. High
schools requesting reserva t i o n s
will be handled under the policy of
‘first come, first serve,’ Liverman
said.
The follies this year will por
tray life in the early twenties,
Pat Henry told the committee.
G. J. Dillavou of the English
Department, who is in charge of
the Aggie Players, is working
on the details of the show.
Charles Rankin appeared before
the committee to inquire about the
possibilities of having the Saddle
and Sirloin Club put on a show—
either Friday or Saturday night of
the Open House weekend. After a
brief discussion the committee de
cided that such a show would be
favorable to the occasion and con
sequently granted the club per
mission to present a show on either
or both nights.
At a meeting held during ex
amination week the committee
decided that All-College Day did
not fully convey the intended
meaning and that in the future
all correspondence would refer to
the occasion as being the A&M
Open House.
The next meeting of the A&M
Open House committee will be held
next Wednesday afternoon at 5 in
Dean Barlow’s office.
BUSINESS MEETING
POSTPONED
The meeting of the Business So
ciety scheduled for tonight has
been postponed, according to Earl
Little, secretary-treasurer of the
Society.
This was necessary because of
Religious Emphasis Week, ex
plained Little.
An announcement will be made
later this week with the informa
tion on the next meeting of the
Society.
