MUNROE Camp Hood Batt Correspondent (Carl!) The Ivy League has signed up a lot of Aggies. More than a dozen men from A&M taking summer camp training at Camp Horn ittt- ood became full fledged members of that well known group. They did it by contracting poison ivy. Names like Harry Johnson, John Zerr,! Ken Voss, Johnny Gimarc, Louie Lawson and Don Garreti- ever-gro' were inscribed on the ever-growing membership list of the Hood Ivy lUukinU. ' i i, . 'I ' ' : ashington— 1 jut a record numL, —130,000—during the year, the office of edm nounced today, . '•/1 leges hand- of d< degrees ast school pn- ition League. And the Aggies were not alone. Dozens of cadets from the two cavalry companies swarmed the ROTC dispensary this evening for treatment. The outbreak of poison ivy has been blamed on a recent patrol problem in which F Company and G Company fought a mock skirm ish. The conflict took place out the hinterlands of this huge camp land it just so happens I that the hinterlands were full o(| the shiny poison ivy bush. ;J And so, after a weekend in which to develop, the rash of poison ivy has struck down the good men of the two cavalry companies. Many, of the afflicted cadets have been combatting the disease off and on since the beginning of camp. But the majority of the men who swarmed the ROTC dis pensary this evening were there for the first time. I M' j-j •I The outbreak was so bad today that a special “shock” treat ment for the rash was devised by the station hospital. The treatment consists of two parts, the second of which is as yet undivulged. The first, however, was unveiled when the cadets descended on the dispensary. Upon arrival everyone exposed his area of rash and was given a handfull of soapy material. This was, according to orders, smeared on the rash and allowed to dry. Tomorrow we will get the second treatment. But now the men with poison ivy have the appearance of being in the first stage of dis integration. Such is the result of the mass indoctrination into the Camp Hood Ivy League.il / . ■ . iktki
