No. 10 The Pup Tent NEW MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE, ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO February 10, 1934 International Relations Meets; Russian Affairs Discussed Captains Law and Alden Join Faculty in English and Mathematics Departments Featured by talks on Russia the International Relations Club has re­sumed activities once again now that the excitement and worry of final ex­aminations are over. A meeting of the program com­mittee was held in Major Kelly’s room Friday,- February 2, and it was de­cided to dedicate the first meeting of the new year to the question of Russia, since so much has come uip over the recent recognition by the United States government. There were three speakers on the program. Rice, Markham, and Ragsdale, who spoke on three differ­ent phases of Russian life as it is today. Markham was the first speaker and used for his subject “The Funda­mental Purposes of the Russian Revo­lution”. The second speaker was Rice who discussed the “Agrarian Revolution in Russia”, and he was followed by Ragsdale speaking on “Russia in the Orient”. In the last speech, the point that was brought out is the present sit­uation between Russia and Japan and what is likely to happen between the two nations. There was a discus­sion period at the end of the pro- =^K- gram for the benefit of those in the audience who had something to add to the subjects discussed. This was one of the most inter­esting meetings of the year and was attended by several guests from Ros­well. Arrangements are being made to have a guest speaker from Dexter speak at the next meeting.

This was one of the most inter­esting meetings of the year and was attended by several guests from Ros­well. Arrangements are being made to have a guest speaker from Dexter speak at the next meeting. Other coming events on the program will include a talk by Mr. Hal Cave of Roswell, who will speak on “The Struggle for Oil”. Dramatic Club is Functioning Again After a recess of several years, a much needed dramatic club has been organized. It has started as a nucleus in order that the preliminar­ies such as arranging the time and place of the meetings might he set­tled before a larger organization was established. The chief objective of the club is a sort of society for “mutual admira­tion”. However, if some performance seems outstanding it may be produced beefore the Corps. In this coterie any­one who is interested in any phase of the drama from property to stage de­signing will have a chance to do the work in mind. At the first meeting problems in pantomime, were undertaken as a starter. Throughout the remaining year, other problems and discussions of the drama in general will be handled by various instructors who have had experience in that line. Meetings are held every Tuesday and Thursday night after study hall and lasting until Taps in the Audi­torium. It is hoped that a number of cadets will be interested and attend the meetings. Every type of play will be handled if possible. Therefore the club promises to be highly entertain­ing.

First Smoker For The Boxers and Wrestlers Tonight Saturday night will see the first action between the N. M. M. I. bat­tlers and rasslers as the boxing and wrestling teams hold their first smoker of the year in the Armory under the tutelage of Captain Wood­bury, Varsity coach.

The entire Cadet Corps joins in offering heartiest congratulations to Major and Mrs. H. P. Saunders, Jr., on the birth of their daughter. Coming from the University of California where he was doing work towards an Archeology degree. Cap­tain Law, new English prof, joined the faculty of N. M. M. I. at the mid­year. However, Captain Law is no stranger around here as an interview by the Pup Tent proved. He was a cadet here in the years ’25-’27, graduating a Second Lieuten­ant. He did quite a bit of work on the Maverick staff while in school and took his first two years of col­lege work here.

faculty of N. M. M. I. at the mid­year. However, Captain Law is no stranger around here as an interview by the Pup Tent proved. He was a cadet here in the years ’25-’27, graduating a Second Lieuten­ant. He did quite a bit of work on the Maverick staff while in school and took his first two years of col­lege work here. From the Institute he went to San Diego State College where he spent the next two years of schooling in preparation for his Bachelor Degree in English. He graduated there in ’29 with his degree and then started to teach school in San Diego. He resign­ed after two years and went to U. S. C. where he took up work along archeological lines. His first summer in this work saw him in the field where he did research work among old ruins near Phoenix, Ariz. He went to the University another year, and spent most of last summer touring the East spending a great deal of his time in the larger Natural His­tory Museums of New England and New York. His hobby, as might be expected from his last years of university work is any sort of archeological sort. He may be found over the week-ends hunting for new grounds where scien­tific research might be carried on. According to the Captain it is not all easy work, for last week-end was one of the most hectic that he has spent. He was on a trip in West Tex­as when he got stuck in the sand— ran out of gas—ruined a tire—and just bareely managed to get by to the Hill before repairs took all his money. He is teaching the one class in Southwestern Lit. and four classes in English 12.

for last week-end was one of the most hectic that he has spent.

He is teaching the one class in Southwestern Lit. and four classes in English 12. He has a very pleasing personality and as he was once a cadet and knows cadet life here, he should become one of the most pop­ular instructors on the Hill. The Mathematics Department of the Junior College has a new instruc­tor this semester to replace the late Major Bigney. This new instructor. Dr. Harold Alden, comes to the In­stitute with a fine record behind him. Dr. Alden has studied at Carneige Tech and Ohio State University. Af­ter Dr. Alden won his Ph.D. degree in mathematics, he had two years of teaching experience in both of the schools in which he studied. Captain Alden has by this time become a familiar figure in barracks. He has been initiated into military duties. Few new instructors come through this trying part of their stay at he Institute with the success the Dr. Alden had. Captain Alden has won the respect of his mathematics classes by prov­ing to them such things as there is no greater number than two. Anyone that could do this would immediately win the respect of cadets, for cadets are always attracted by the un­usual. The cadets wish to express a wel­come to Captain Alden and a hope that he will find a suitable environ­ment in our school. We are proud to have a young man of his ability on our faculty.

Rifle Team Wins 3 Loses 2 in Matches As this issue goes to press, the Varsity Rifle team has heard from five of the six schools that were fired against in the last match with re­sults as follows. NMMI 3450 Allan Acaademy 3412 NMMI 3450 Univ. of Mo. 3577 NMMI 3450 Univ. of Wash. 3553 NMMI 3450 Tenn. M. A. 3036 NMMI 3450 Augusta Military Ac. (forfeit match) NMMI 3450 Natrona C. H. School (not heard from) As may be seen by the scores, the Broncs were beaten twice rather decisiveely and even more decisively won a match from Tennessee M. A. and won tilts from two other schools. This week-end they are firing matches against fourteen schools all over the United States and one team in Honolulu. Hoop Season Begins, Win One, Lose Five Getting into the swing of their regular season after setting the Amonett Fender Fixer’s on their ear, the Red and Black quintet saw their initial action against a highly touted Texas Mines team that went to town in the first of a two game series and won the second by an extremely lucky last second shot as the whistle blew. Parent! had the honor of making the first swisher for the Broncs this season when he cleanly parted the netting with a set-in shot.

initial action against a highly touted Texas Mines team that went to town in the first of a two game series and won the second by an extremely lucky last second shot as the whistle blew. Parent! had the honor of making the first swisher for the Broncs this season when he cleanly parted the netting with a set-in shot. However, this was not until the Miners had sunk three for themselves and were started on their first victory. Parent! was the big gun for the Broncs in this tilt. It looked great for the In­stitute at the half period when they were safely ahead with a 17 to 11 lead. However, that period of rest did wonders for a Mines team for in the second half they more than went to town. It was in this first game of the year that the lack of ability to sink gratis tosses showed so plainly. Miss­ing enough to win the game, the Broncs caused many a heartbreak when the ball would strike the rim and bounce up, down, to the side, any way except through the hoop. The Mines played hard ball and won a good game 32 to 24. It was in the second game of the series that the Institute showed real basketball ability and were defeated in the last second. It was also in this second game that the lack of confi­dence to shoot long shots from around the foul line showed up.
