Film Library Adds New Shows
The Cen-Tex Film Library has
added several new films since the
first of the year. >
Among the best of these films,
said W. W. Mcllory, director of
the library, is, “Silver Anniver
sary”. This film is about the Fu
ture Farmer organization and is
receiving wide acclaim from teach
ers of vocational agriculture in
Texas.
Twenty-five copies of this film
have been placed in various li
braries throughout Texas. The
films were donated to the Future
Farmer organization by the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber company.
The Cen-Tex Film Library has one
copy of “Silver Anniversary” which
is circulated among the teachers of
vocational agriculture who are
members of the library.
The American Plant Food Coun
cil, Inc. has placed on deposit with
the library, “Milking The Most
of a Miracle”. Mcllroy says this
is an unusually good film. Other
films purchased by the library for
the use of the agricultural edu
cation staff and members of the
library are “ABC of the Automo
bile Engine”, “ABC of The Diesel
Engine”, “Diesel, The Modern
Power”, and “ABC of Hand Tools”.
The library has also purchased a
copy of, “We Are The Aggies.”
This film is used by members of
the agricultural education staff
LETTERS
Editors,
The Battalion:
It was very encouraging to read
the article in The Battalion con
cerning the organization of a group
of non-military students on this
campus. May I take this oppor
tunity to congratulate you on your
action which in my opinion was
long overdue.
There has been considerable
criticism of non-military students
by cadets this year as in past
years. There has also been con
siderable criticism of Army by Air
Force Cadets, criticism of Infantry
Cadets by Armor Cadets, etc. and
vice versa. Much of this criticism
is indicative of group pride. Some
of it is well founded and some of
it is not. But is it the Artillery’s
place, for example, to feel slighted
because the Signal Corps criticizes
them and attempt to get all Artil
lery Cadets on all the various func
tions by organizing the Artillery in
a block ? Or is it their place to
select the best men for the job
regardless of branch ?
I have attempted to draw a par-
raled between what could happen
on this campus and what is about
to happen should the new group
organized become, shall we say,
misguided. This was of no concern
to me until the so called “. . . pre
judice from the corps . . .” became
an isteue. So rather than an open
split between this group and the
corps I would like the opportunity
of meeting with the unnamed
spokesman of the group or the
leaders of the group at their con
venience so that we might work
together toward a “Greater A&M”
as was the objective stated in the
article. I live in 119-12 and would
consider it a pleasure if you would
allow me to aid you in greater non-
reg-corps relations.
