The election of the business manager and social sec retary will be held. These two men have deal to do with the success of Aggie - Rice— (Continued from page 1) for his great passing, but he can also hit the middle of the line, and, too, Bob Brumley is a better- than-average passer. In Ollie Cordill the Owls have one of the best pass catchers, run ners, and punters in the confer ence. Their center is also one of the top men in the country. If the giant sleeps on, the Ag gies will win by three touchdowns. If he is awake it will be a battle from start to finish. The Owls will shoot their works for this victory. They can gamble at every turn and with a break and a prayer they can win that ball game. The Owls can shoot the works, for they have every thing to win and nothing to lose. On the other hand, thfe Aggies have everything to lose and no thing to gain; so they will have to play a conservative game unless they can steamroller over the op posing team.

By Student Opinion Surveys of America If American students could plan the course of study for the nation’s colleges and universities, an over whelming majority would prescribe wide cultural background, the Stu dent Opinion Surveys of America find in their latest national poll of campus thought. Only 17 per cent of the coun try’s collegians believe that high er education should be mainly tech nical and professional training. The rest say they prefer a curric ulum that will embrace a general education rather than one that will produce men and women primarily skilled in the trades and the pro fessions. But 37 per cent of this last group make it clear that their choice is the school that presents a blending of the two extremes. Since the weekly polls of the Surveys are all based on a coast- to-coast sampling determined from actual enrollments, these results represent the opinions of the mil lion and a half students in all kinds of colleges, both technical and otherwise. The Surveys are con ducted in cooperation with The Battalion and nearly 150 other campus publications. Headquar- City Council— (Continued from page 1) Gate of A. & M. campus, in which the Council holds its regular per iodical meetings, and in which there is a full-time city secretary. Many problems of city govern ment are in the process of being solved by the City Council at pres ent. Most cities grow up without any regulating measures in their ordinances, with respect to the prop er allocation of business, commer cial, industrial, recreational, and residential areas. Many misunder standings and internal strife were as a result among the citizenship. Much money was lost in land val ues, and when zoning ordinaces were finally passed, the process of changing over properties to con form was highly expensive, and in many instances, the cost made such changes prohibitive. With a full knowledge of the experiences of cities which have suffered these losses, the City Council of College Station, has begun early with its zoning in order to avoid any trou ble which might later arise. An ordinance regulating and li censing taxi cabs and motor busses, which operate within the city, has been passed and put into effect. It is expected that many additional ordinances will be passed shortly in an effort to protect the property and safeguard the health of the citizenship. Traffic congestion at the North Gate has been materially reduced by the installation of a blinker light—and passage of measures regulating the flow of traffic in this area. A full-time traffic and peace officer has been employed and it is expected that the parrallel parking rule will soon be enforc ed on Bell Street, north of the Post Office, which will permit driv ing in either direction on that street. Both residential and business building continues at a brisk rate. An up-to-date theater . near the North Gate is rapidly taking form, and it is expected that two modern theaters to serve this city will be completed within the next few months. Work is also progress ing rapidly on adequate elemen tary and high school buildings to serve the new city. Officials of the city of College Station at present are as follows: Dr. J. H. Binney, Mayor; L. P. Gabbard, G. B. Wilcox, Dr. L. G. Jones, S. A. Lipscomb, and J. A. Orr, aldermen; J. Wheeler Barger, city attorney; J. T. L. McNew, city engineer; and E. W.

Originally a network of radios hooked together by wire to a cen tral college broadcasting center, the system this year will broad cast on 570 kilocycles, with wires strung around all campus dormi tories close to all antennae to in sure perfect reception. Programs of the network feature student talent, with some national broadcasts. The network will broadcast all Brown football, bas ketball and baseball games. New England college students will soon be the first in the coun try to have their own intercollegi ate radio broadcasting system, if plans backed by the Brown Net work develop according to sched ule. The project calls for linking Brown, Dartmouth, M. I. T., and Wesleyan together over a leased- wire system so that each college can broadcast to the other. It will not only provide entertainment for listeners and experience for radio- minded students handling the tech nical details, but it will promote “friendly contacts” between the institutions taking part, the spon sors believe. Arrangements are already near ing completion for a tie-up between Brown, Wesleyan and Harvard. Dartmouth and M. I. T. have ex pressed interest and other colleges and universities are being invited to join. The network idea grew from Brown’s complete student-owned and operated intramural system. Today the Brown NetWork is a major extracurricular organization, with elaborate sound-proof studios and a central control room in Faunce House; 30 stations in dormitories and fraternity houses where programs can originate, and a three-board staff of 75 members at Brown and Pembroke College in. charge of programs, advertising and technical arrangements for its estimated daily audience of 2,000 listeners. itary engineer.

Last month Brooklyn College in augurated a new president, Harry D. Gideonse, who once quit a Uni versity of Chicago professorship after much argument with Dr. Rob ert M. Hutchins, chief U. S. ex ponent of classical education. De clared Dr. Gideonse at his install ation: “No college can live by train ing the mind alone. Talent must now be shifted from sheer culti vation of intellectual virtues to education for the whole man, for men as ‘knowerS and doers and appreciators’.” A surprisingly large number would agree with Dr. Hutchins— but there is also a large group that believes college is the place to train both “knowers” and “doers.” The results of the poll are: College Education Should— Be mainly technical and pro fessional, 17 per cent. Emphasize a wide cultural back ground, 46 per cent. Include both, 37 per cent. Sentiment for professional train ing is least popular with New Eng land students (7), and most in fa vor with Far Westerners (4%). All other sections of the country agree almost exactly with national stu dent opinion as shown above. Noted Australian Scientist Addresses Nutrition Seminar Dr. A. W. Pierce from the Nutri tion Laboratory, Adelaide, South Australia, addressed the animal nutrition seminar at A. & M. Thurs day night. Dr. Pierce, whose investigations in animal nutrition are well known, discussed some of his studies on phosphorus metabolism, the role of cobalt in nutrition, and the toxicity of fluorine. For the past several months Dr. Pierce has been visiting outstanding research institutions in the United States. Democracy Should Begin In College, Says Educator “In America we talk much about democracy, but I am convinced that unless we give our students practice in democratic self-govern ment through the management of their own affairs in college, they cannot be expected to practice democracy when they take their places in the community.” Ham ilton College’s President Cowley urges U. S. higher education to promote the teaching of the na ture of leadership. The best castanets are made of only two or three types of wood, and must be hand-carved in a specific shape to bring out the best tones. -SATURDAY, NOV. 18, 1939 TALKS BY ELLIOT TO BE MADE HERE ARE ANNOUNCED A.

TAKE RICE AGGIES We’re Still With You Jones Barber Shop North Gate There’s N? vjreaf about Cigarette Tobaccos There are four types of tobaccos found in the more popular cigarettes, namely... Bright, Maryland, Burley and Turkish. jAlLL THESE TOBACCOS except Turkish (which is bought direct from the planters in Turkey and Greece) and Maryland (which is bought through sealed bids under government supervision) are bought at public auction, just like any other auction where you might have bought in a table or a chair. At THE AUCTION SALE the tobacco is piled in baskets weighing from about 100 to 500 pounds and each purchaser buys all of his tobaccos by competitive bidding for the particular piles he wants. The CHESTERFIELD BUYERS buy the best of these mild ripe tobaccos for the Chesterfield blend; And it is Chesterfield’s Combination.;. the right amounts of Burley and Bright.;. just enough Maryland . ;; and just enough Turkish—that makes the big difference between Chesterfield and other cigarettes. It IS BECAUSE of this combination that Chesterfields are COOLER, have a BETTER TASTE and are DEFINITELY MILDER. They are made of the world 9 s best cigarette tobaccos.
