and cents, anyway. In the first
place, it’s the only one in existence
today and its value as an antique—
not even considering its tradition—
is not an inconsiderable amount.
It was a hundred and ten years
ago that the trophy was made dur
ing the reign of King George IV
and it bears the hall mark of that
period. Then too, the trophy is
made of sterling silver and, log
ically enough, the Athletic Council
can’t see eye-to-eye with any pol
icy which might make the Sugar
Bowl the thieving target of anyone
who might not have the best in
terests of the college at heart.
The original Sugar Bowl is re
tained by the winning team
throughout the following year and
is then returned to the New Orleans
Mid-Winter Sports Association for
the next competition. As a perma
nent memento, however, an exact
replica of the bowl is pre
sented to the winning team and
this, when it is received, will be
on continued display.
Corps Dance—
(Continued from page 1)
As to something about Weeks
himself let it be said that he stay
ed on the campus of the University
of California just long enough to
register for his freshman year. One
day was sufficient to convince An
son that he had another destiny in
life. He eloped with his childhood
sweetheart and thereby took his
first step toward becoming one of
America’s favorite dance bands.
Since then Anson Weeks has been
the personification of a success
story. Six years at the Mark Hop
kins Hotel in San Francisco was
one of his first triumphs and since
then he has broadcast under the
sponsorship of Lucky Strike Cig-
arets on a program over NBC. The
St. Regis Hotel in New York, the
Trianon Ballroom of Chicago, and
the Aragon Ballroom of the same
city have also engaged Anson to
Two lectures will be given Thurs
day; the first at 10 to 11 a. m. in
the Chemistry lecture room on “Fi
nancial Structure and Policies of
Cooperatives”, and the second at

Agricultural Building. This is to
be a conference with graduate
students and staff members on
Cooperative Marketing problems.

Editorial Expression— From Page 1
Station and Bryan have arraigned themselves against the mono
polistic contract which for so many years has dictated that the
community of College Station may not have a moving picture
until 45 days after it has appeared in Bryan.
Even the regular waiters in A. & M.’s two world’s largest
dining halls have aligned themselves in support of the Aggies
against the high-pressure theater discrimination to which the
Aggies have so long submitted .
Probably never before in the entire history of the college
has feeling been so unanimous, spirit so high.
After years of pleading and arguments the cadet corps has
given up such futile efforts and is acting.
Eventually the animal that is cornered will turn and fight
its oppressor.
So have the Aggies. And they have the spirit to win, whether
it takes them two weeks or two years.
