Aggie Now Touring Europe
Says Tea a ‘Must’In England
By KING EGGER
(Ed. note—Following are ex
cerpts from a letter by Egger,
who is touring Europe this sum
mer. Egger is making the tour
as a result of being named by a
Student Life sub-committee. The
trip is partially financed by the
Student Life Committee and the
YMCA.)
London—'(Special)—You doubt
less have read accounts of “Six
Hundred Students Stranded in
New York” in the newspapers. I
was one of the 600.
Through considerate action of
the President and the Navy, how
ever, a ship was provided to carry
us across the Atlantic.
Our predicament arose when the
Coast Guard refused to allow the
Norwegian ship, S. S. Svalbard, to
clear the harbor, due to lack of
safety equipment.
Visits United Nations
During our additional days in
New York, we prepared for the
trip. We visited the United Na
tions at Lake Success, where we
learned of some of its successful
projects, which surprised those
of us who had only heard of its
failures.
To one accustomed to the
“Army way,” the embarkation and
voyage created no new way of
doing things, for the theme of
“hurry up and wait” was particul
arly predominant in proceedings.
And aboard ship the announce
ments over the loudspeaker, pro
ceeded by a “now hear this” added
a great deal of amusement to the
voyage.
I thought that after a week in
England I would have all the ans
wers to questions of internal and
foreign affairs and have a full
understanding of English people,
their customs, and their problems.
Now I can say only that I have
met and come to know quite a
few Britishers as genuine people
who want to be as warm, friendly,
and as hospitable as anyone else.
Just Like Us
Stories of British aloofness and
coolness scare many Americans,
as they did us, but we would dis
prove them as being only particular
instances and not the general
rule.
One of my earliest and most fav
orite impressions is that the Eng
lish are very leisurely and unhur
ried. It is a refreshing change from
New York, where it was funny,
yet pathetic, to see people taking
an evening stroll through the park
and hustling so they could hurry on
to something else. I sometimes feel
that you couldn’t hurry an, Eng
lishman.
I know we Americans still pic
ture England as pretty much hard
hit by scarcities, rationing and
high prices. Of course high prices
affect England in the same way
they do America—many things
one just can’t afford to buy—but
the people are living fairly rea
sonably and normally. Whether be
cause of rationing, prices, or choice
I can’t say, but the British eat
very plain food.
They seem to enjoy the lack of
seasoning. Puzzling to me is the
lack of originality and imagina
tion in their meals.
Of course such a generalization
as this is bad, and there are many
exceptions—the major one being
their really taste-thrilling “sweets”
(desserts to us).
Tea is a “Must”
At this point let me add that
even though they may not eat so
heartily as we Americans do, the
British make up for it in their
“between-meal” snacks. By that,
I mean at 11 a. m. all England
stops for coffee, called “elevenses.”
By 4 or 4:30 in the afternoon,
hunger is again rampant and time
is called for tea, which includes
a multitude of cakes or “sweets”.
We Americans found that we,
like the English, too, I imagine,
needed this “pick-up” to keep us
going until dinner, at 7:15. Usually
tea is again served at 10 p. m.
The Coke and the cup of coffee
serves about the same purpose in
America as the traditional cup of
tea in England. I don’t think tea
will ever be popular at A&M, but
I do thing that we realize, as do the
English, the value of a short per
iod spent talking* to a friend over
a cup of coffee, or even tea.

from a London church to visit a
small country village for the day.
I think it was the first time I
really came to know some English
people, for even though we were
“foreigners” they took us right
into their group and made us glow
with the warmth of their hospi
tality.
Imagine sitting on the village
green watching a cricket match,
or eating lunch in a typical village
cottage older than any house in
America, or drinking ale in a lit
tle English Pub.
Certainly I understood better
now how the Englishman lives and
thinks, for I walked at length that
afternoon on the green. I talked
with the average man, the farmer,
the laborex*, (he clerk, and the min
ister; sitting there on the green
isn’t simply a pleasant way to
spend the afternoon it’s the way
the villagers observe their social
life.
Pubs Are Institutions
In like manner the Pub isn’t just
a “beer joint.” The whole family
goes there, young and old, to sing,
dance and visit, while the little
children dance and play outside or
hang through the window and
watch.
I think we would do well to have
an institution similar to the Pub,
for there is found a fellowship as
wholesome as the church, as festive
as a party, and as understanding,
close, and as tolerant as the home.
!{ace No Longer
Bars Citizenship
Washington, Aug. 15—(A 1 )—The
Senate and House passed a com
promise resolution yesterday re
moving race as a barrier to citi
zenship for all aliens admitted to
this country for permanent resi
dence prior to 1926.
The bill affects aliens of Japan
ese, Korean and Polynesian ori
gin.
These races were excluded from
the privilege of becoming natural
ized citizens through the adoption
of the Oriental exclusion act in
1926.
Only those aliens, residing prin
cipally in Hawaii and California,
who were legally residing in the
United States befoi’e 1926 are af
fected.
The conferees, adjusting Senate
and House differences, eliminated
a Senate amendment which would
have restricted the bill to Japanese.
They also added a section, de
scribed as a security measure, x*e-
quiring the attorney general to
publish lists of subversive organ
izations. Aliens disclosed to be
members of such organizations
would not be permitted to become
naturalized citizens.
The bill was sent to the White
House for presidential considera
tion.
Business Classes

the new wing of Francis Hall

the Department of Business Ad
ministration announced yesterday-

rooms and offices will be made
dui'ing the holidays, so that upon
the return of students some of the

The new addition contains twelve

main depaidmental office and the

chine operation will be the first
units moved into the Francis Hall

Other classes that will be held

- MOVIE -
(Continued from Page 2)
The main story thread in the
screenplay by Charles Schnee has
to do with the spoiled daughter’s
efforts to take possession of the
infinitely expansive family ranch
called The Furies.
Huston, in one of the final
scx*een roles of his career, is rau
cous, grandiloquent, moody and
fiery as the father who enjoys
seeing his daughter full of spirit,
but unjoys equally holding hex-
spirit in check. He hangs her life
long fx-iend Gilbert Roland, head
of a family of squatters, in a
vain attend to make her unbend.
Woman Trouble
A widower, he plans to marry
widow Judith Anderson who would
then inherit the ranch, but Miss
Stanwick destroys those plans by
slashing Miss Anderson’s face.
Ultimately, the daughter joins
forces with gambler-banker Wen
dell Corey, whom she loves but
who has jilted her out of disdain
for her father, and by virtue of a
monumental financial manipulation
forces Huston to sell to her.
At that point Huston is shot
down in his tracks by the mother of
the murdered Roland.
Director Anthony Mann has
made the most of the picture’s
scattered action scenes, and has
managed to give occasional spax*k
to some of the many conversation
al sequences. Some fine photo
graphy is manifest under the di
rection of Victor Milner, ASC,
with a number of desert scenes at
dusk rating enthusiastic appre
ciation. Reliable support is ren
dered by the rest of the large
cast.
