Law-abiding citizens of Dallas
are prepared for the Aggie-TSCW
invasion this week-end, commenc
ing at 1:50 p.m., Friday, when the
Aggie eleven begins its pre-game
work-out in the Cotton Bowl. Ap
proximately 8500 Aggie and 2300
Tessie-ites plus hundreds of alum
nae of both schools, are expected
to throng the city streets for A.
& M.’s first corps trip of the year.
The reason for such an onrush is
the gridiron tilt between the Texas
Aggies and SMU' Mustangs.
Every year the student body of
A. & M. turns out en masse at
Dallas or Fort Worth for the an
nual tilts with TCU and SMU.
No Saturday Classes
Classes have been dismissed for
Saturday morning in order to per
mit a maximum number of Aggies
to attend the clash.
Starting Friday
Commencing this afternoon,
students and fans from both schools
will start arriving in Dallas. By
thumb, auto, train, and air—from
near and far—football enthusiasts
will throng the city. And in all
events Dallas townfolk are pre
pared, according to the November
6 issue of the Dallas Morning
News.
Festivities of the week-end will
begin tonight at 11:45 at the in
tersection of Akard and Com
merce, between the Adolphus and
Baker Hotels, and 8500 Aggies will
assemble to hold an authorized
midnight yell practice. The famous
Aggie Band will be present in all
its glory and fanfare to spike the
occasion with Aggie spirit.
TSCW classes have been dis
missed this afternoon at 5:30. Spec
ial busses from Denton to Dallas
have been made available for
TSCW students. Reliable informa
tion states that around ninety per
cent of A.&M.’s sister school will
be in attendance at the Cotton
Bowl event.
Transportation
Transportation to Dallas for
Aggies has been facilitated by the
Southern Pacific railroad, which
plans to run three special trains
from College Station. The first
train will leave A. & M. at 5:30
p.m. this afternoon, arriving at Big
“D” at 9:30 tonight. The other twa
specials will leave College Station
at 5 and 5:10 a.m. Saturday morn
ing, and arrive in Dallas at 9
and 9:10 respectively. All special
trains are scheduled to leave the
city at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon.
Aggie Sweetheart
Miss Peggy Hendricks, a senior
Tessie from Kilgore, has been se
lected as Aggie sweetheart and
will be presented to the A. & M.
student body at the half-time per
formance. At that time Cadet
Colonel Edward Brandt will pre
sent Miss Hendricks with a bou
quet. A salute from Aggieland will
take place when the Band plays
and the Aggies sing “Let Me Call
You Sweetheart”.
Tomorrow morning there will be
a parade down the main streets of
Dallas, complete with the Aggie
Band. This parade will begin at
9:30.
No Rooms
There will be something of a
housing crisis exist in Big Dallas
over the week-end. The Hotel As
sociation had hoped to accommo
date most of the visitors; how
ever, this seems impossible. The
Dallas TSCW Ex-Students Asso
ciation asked alumnae to open
their homes without charge for
both Friday and Saturday nights.
Mrs. A. R. Allsup, president of
the TSCW alumnae, has estimated
that there will be between 1000
and 1500 girls needing a place to
stay between celebrations at the
big week-end get-together.
Dances
Plenty of entertainment has been
planned for the ensuing week-end.
Tonight Erskine Hawkins and his
Orchestra are playing at the Yacht
Club. This is a one-night stand
for the Hawkins ensemble. Then
tomorrow night Aggieland’s own
orchestra will play at Fair Park
Skating Rink.
Tradition
Aggie Corps trips to either Dal
las or Fort Worth were started in
1936 when it was started under the
sponsorship of Dr. F. L. McDon
ald, head of the TSCW School of
Journalism. Ever since that time
annual trips have continued to
be made.
The Dallas Chapter of the
TSCW Ex-Student Association will
maintain a hostess in the Baker
Hotel from Friday afternoon
through Saturday. This service has
been made available for the bene
fit of TSCW students in Dallas
over the week-end.
Dallas people are expected to
return to a state of normalcy some
time Monday when classes for the
three schools are resumed. It is
believed that the activities will
commence at noon Friday through
Sunday evening.
Don’t Forget
Game time is 2 p.m., tomorrow
afternoon.

Presented; First in
Series Set for Nov. 12
D. K. Mather of the John Innes
Horticultural Institution, Merton
Park, London will visit the cam
pus of A. & M. the week of No
vember 10.
He received his B. Sc. degree
from the University of Manchester
in 1931. By 1940 Dr. Mather had
received his Ph. D. and B. Sc. de
grees in plant genetics from the
University of London. As a Uni
versity of Agriculture Research
Scholar, he spent the period 1931-
33 at the John Innes Institution
and the following year at Svalof,
Sweden. From 1934-37 Dr. Mather
held the position of Biologist at
the Galton Laboratory, University
College, London. He then spent
a year at the California Insti
tute of Technology and Harvard
University as a Rockefeller Fel
low. Since 1938 he has been Head
of the Genetics Department at
John Innes.
Prior to 1939 Dr. Mather’s in
terests centered chiefly on cytol
ogy and the genetics of crossing-
over. Since 1939 Dr. Mather has
been concerned with quantitative
variations, their inheritance, anal
ysis, and behavior under selection.
Dr. Mather will give a series of
four lectures of interest to gene
ticists and biologists. The first
lecture “will be held Tuesday, No
vember 12, in room 132, Animal
Industries Building, at 5:00 p. m.
Those interested are invited to at

Oh, For My Little,
Red, Rubber Boots!
Writes Winnie Warner of
Tessie-W, “It’s raining like mad
here and my red rubber boots
are somewhere in Aggieland.
Sometime between unloading
my things from the TSCW bus
and transferring them to a cab,
I left my dearly beloved boots
on the sidewalk in front of the
‘Y\ We soon get webbed feet
up here without any means of
protection. Many thanks”.
Well, Aggies, this little miss
of Box 2116, TSCW, is in dire
need of protection—from the
rain! Feel sure you guys can’t
use them, ’cause your feet are
too big. So, finder, pleeze send
Miss Warner her little red,
rubber boots.

'Problems of the
College Veteran' 1
Contest Started
“Salute”, the magazine publish
ed by former writers and editors
of Yank and Stars and Stripes, is
sponsoring a “letter contest” for
student veterans on the subject of
“Problems of the College Veteran”.
This contest is intended to af
ford veterans attending accredited
colleges and universities under the
GI Bill of Rights, the opportunity
of “sounding off” on the current
educational set-up. From their
opinions may evolve some good
ideas or partial solutions to many
of the major problems arising out
of the great veterans influx in the
nation’s colleges. Perhaps one
practical, constructive plan, which
will be of value to the colleges as
well as the students, may be ini
tiated as a result.
Cash prizes in the amount of
$750 are being offered to the writ
ers of the ten most outstanding
letters. First prize is $100; second
prize is $100; and their are eight
additional pries of $50 each.
Length of the letters should not
exceed 250 words. All the letters
should be addressed to the Con
test Editor, Salute, 19 Park Place,
New York 7, N. Y. The contest
closes January 10, 1947.

Batt Election Shows Freckles Is
618-3 Choice for Aggie Mascot
Freckles, the purebred cocker
spaniel which created such a sen
sation marching with the Aggie
Band during half-time activities
at the Arkansas game, has unof
ficially been elected mascot of the
Aggies in a ballot poll taken by
The Battalion. The vote was in
her favor to the overwhelming
proportion of 613-3.
Complications have arisen, how
ever. In a letter to the editor,
which arrived after the Batt had
already gone to press, Hal Mul
lins, Freckles’ owner, said that
since the little cocker is a one-
man dog, and since she is already
five years old, he would rather
not donate her as mascot for the
rest of her life.
It seems that cockers have an
average life of only eight years
or so, which would mean that after
Mullins’ four remaining semesters
at A & M, Freckles would be just
about ready to go to Dog Heaven.
There’s little chance that she
would last as long as beloved Re
veille, who played with Aggies
until she was nearly fourteen
years of age.
However, Mullins said that he
would be willing to breed Freckles
and choose from the litter a suit
able replacement. Mullins is tak
ing her home with him this week
end after the SMU game, and he
plans to breed her then. And
Freckles, being a registered pure
bred (not thoroughbred, we dis
covered from a vet student, which
refers only to horses) should pro
duce an intelligent and good look
ing litter.
Also, the Student Council repre
sentatives have said that Freckles
should not be adopted in such a
hurry; we should give her a
chance to prove herself in more
than one game. Certainly this is
true, judging from the mess up in
regard to Rusty, who is noise-shy,
music-shy, and Aggie-shy — cer
tainly not desired qualities in the
Aggie official mascot.
Because time was of such vital
importance in securing action on
the mascot, there being only three
more scheduled football games
this season, The Battalion, with
the consent of student leaders, ran
the poll for or against Freckles
for mascot. The election did not
run through all the channels of
consent, and therefore can only be
considered unofficial.
Freckles is to march with the
Band at football games. Bill Ros
ser, head yell leader, is collecting
money to pay for the blanket she
wears, and band members will care
for her at all times.
The overwhelming vote in Frec
kles’ favor is a clear indication of
the sentiments of the Aggie stu
dent body. They want a mascot
to march with the band, to add to
the entertainment at the half. Ag
gies want some dog they can pet,
and point to with pride, saying,
“That’s the Aggie Mascot”. But
certainly we should adopt a dog
which likes Aggies, and will per
form all the duties of a mascot.
Finding another canine wonder
like Reveille is a nigh on impos
sible job. But we should find one
who will fill Reveille’s official
place, if not her place in the hearts
of all who knew her.
NSLI Makes Four
Options Available
After Conversion
Forms for electing a different
method of settlement on National
Service Life Insurance are now
available, J. R. Varnell, Contact
Representative for the Veterans
Administration, announced this
week.
Mr. Vaimell is on the campus
each Monday morning and Thurs
day afternoon in the Veterans Ad
ministration Office to discuss in
surance problems with veterans.
He points out that the veteran now
may choose any one of four op
tions after converting his insur
ance.
Option number one is the plan
whereby the beneficiary receives
the value of the policy in one lump
sum. If this plan is desired the
form must be filled out and this
option chosen, otherwise the set
tlement would automatically fall
under plan number two in which
the total sum is paid in equal
monthly installments from 36 to
240 months, in multiples of 12,
this being the plan initiated by
the insured or chosen by the bene
ficiary.
Option three may be specified
by the insured or chosen by the
beneficiary whereby the settle
ment will be in equal monthly in
stallments for 120 months certain
with such payments continuing
during the remaining lifetime of
the first beneficiary.
Option four is used as a refund
life income in monthly install
ments payable for such period cer
tain as may be required in order
that the sum of installments cer
tain shall be equal the face value
of the contract continuing through
out the lifetime of the first bene
ficiary: Provided, that such op
tional payment shall not be avail
able in any case in which such set
tlement would result in payments
of installments over a shorter per
iod than 120 months.
Arch Prof. Receives
National Acclaim
W. W. Caudill, professor of Ar
chitecture, obtained national re
cognition when one of a recent
series of low-cost houses appear
ed in the October issue of the Ar
chitectural Forum.
Harold Jordon, fifth year Archi
tectural student and past president
of the Architectural Society, as
sisted Mr. Caudill in the design
and supervision of construction of
the house which is in the new
Lake-view Addition in Bryan,
Texas. To quote the Forum: “A
house in Texas which provides
maximum living in two major
rooms”.
Mr. Caudill, in addition to his
professorship, is a member of the
Austin architectural firm, Caudill
and Rowlett, which enables him to
keep abreast of current trends in
modern building. His house was
also featured at the recent State
Fair of Texas in an exhibit of 15
contemporary Texas homes design
ed by prominent Texas architects
of today.
Theory of Flight
Learned by Aggie
Pilot 'Hard' Way
A. & M.’s newly inaugurated
Aero 221 class (leading to a pri
vate pilots license) has finally had
its initial mishap. R. T. Thorn
hill has joined the ranks of those
who can say that they were first
in some particular field. On Oc
tober 31, while Thornhill was 3,000
feet up in the wild blue yonder
practicing stalls, his engine went
the way of all engines and konked
out on him. Naturally, this left
him in a most difficult position.
“The roar of an engine is one of
the most comforting things that a
pilot can hear,” he commented,
“and you can imagine how I felt
when everything became quiet,
and all I could hear was the whis
tling of the wind.”
The ground school training that
he had received flashed through
his mind—look for a clear field—
what did he see—cows. He looked
again—more cows. Finally he
found a field that looked like it
had no obstacles and slipped his
trusty (?) air steed into a land
ing position. As he neared the
ground, Thornhill watched a barb
ed wire fence grow right out of
the ground. He flattened his glide
and just cleared the fence as the
plane stalled and settled into knee
high grass. Little did Thornhill
realize that that insignificant
barbed wire fence had probably
saved him a very nasty crack-up.
Had he hit the tall grass at flying
speed, the plane would probably
have somersaulted. Which just
goes to show that you never can
tell when a barbed wire fence may
come in handy.
RANCH MANAGEMENT IS
TOPIC OF AH MEETING
Virgel Parr, research represen
tative of Southwest Texas Soil
Conservation District, addressed
the Animal Husbandry seminar
students on Monday evening, Oc
tober 28. Mr. Parr spoke on ranch
and farm management practices
conducive to success, and of his
work with a new weed killer.
Mr. Parr, a 1914 graduate of A.
& M., was manager of the Pitch-
fork Ranch at Spur from 1929 to
1940, and at present he has offi
ces in the AAA Building.
Meet Deadlines, or No
Annual, Sar Printers
Production of the 1947 Longhorn is well underway,
according to Jimmie Demopolus and Harry Saunders, co
editors of the yearbook. Largest problem at the present
time is meeting the deadlines required by the engraver,
Southwestern Engraving Company of Fort Worth. Co
operation of all students is necessary in order for the Long
horn staff to meet these deadlines. Notifications of dead
lines will appear in future Tuesday issues of the Battalion.
Military Organizations
Three-Per-Room Refund
Ready at Fiscal Dept.
Refunds of room rent for stu
dents who paid for the full se
mester and who were living
three to a room at the end of
October are ready and may be
called for at the Fiscal Depart
ment between the hours of 8
a. m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.
m. to 2 p. m. each day.
Musical Jinglings of
Spur-Bedecked Fish
Renew Anti-SMU Spirit
There comes a time every year
when the peaceful calm of old A
& M is suddenly shattered by the
“jingle jangle jingle” of many
pairs of spurs. These aren’t the
ordinary, shiny, silver ones that
you can buy most anywhere; these
are something extra-special. They
are fablous looking pieces of work
composed of most anything that
might come into the active mind
of a young freshman. The favor
ite ’46 model consists of coke bot
tle tops, old Bryan bus tokens, and
a purloined mess-hall pie pan held
together by the grace of the Al
mighty and a piece of coat-hanger
wire.
Just as these spurs are special
bits of Aggie ingenuity, the reason
for their presence is something
extra special. They are the pre
game evidence of the spirit with
which Aggies look forward to the
A & M-S.M.U. football clash. What
could be a more bitter reminder
to our Mustang rivals than these
ominous looking spurs.
Of course, the spurs will be
shed before reaching Dallas, but
don’t think for one minute that
our objective has been forgotten.
Anyone who happens to doubt
A&M intentions should come down
to the Baker Hotel tonight at mid
night and hear the pre-game yell
practice.
Football, Dances, Skating, Et
Al Comprise Dallas Activities
By Lawrence Callahan
Hiroshima was nothing in com
parison to what Dallas is going to
look like after this week-end.
With enthusiasts from A. & M.,
TSCW, and SMU crowding the fair
city of Dallas, something is bound
to happen. According to rumors
that have reached us from Dal
las, the Chamber of Commerce re
quested all girls between six and
sixty to remain in their homes un
der armed guard during the week
end. The National Guard encamp
ments are being reinstalled in and
around metropolitan Big “D”, and
three nearby Army Air Fields
have been reactivated for the occa
sion. The Mayor issued a state
ment that Martial Law will be
declared—if necessary.
First on the program is the
Friday night yell practice, to be
held in front of the Adolphus Ho
tel. If you don’t know what’s
what in Dallas, just follow Com
merce street until it hits Akard,
or vice-versa, then look up and
you can’t miss it. Bring your
wife, date, sister, brother, baby,
bottle et al!
Saturday morning comes a pa
rade, complete with the famous
Aggie Band and Cadet Corps. Be
on hand for the parade commenc
ing at 9:30 down Dallas’ main
drag.
And then to the Cotton Bowl for
the A. & M.-SMU gridiron tilt!
A crowd of 35,000 is expected, so
it looks like you’d better get there
early and pitch pup tents in the
sh&de of the ye old Bowl.
Bill Turner, Aggieland’s version
of Harry James, and his all-college
dance band will be on hand for
the big blow-out at the Fair Park
Skating Rink Saturday night.
Sponsored by the Dallas A. & M.
Mothers’ Club, ducats are selling
for $1.50. If you’ve ever been to
any of the college dances, you’ll
know that this group has really
been whipping out. So grab a
date and a cab and you’ll be danc
ing to the sweetest music this side
of Boonville.
Out at the Plantation Glen Gray
and his Casaloma Ork is holding
the spotlight. For the unknowing,
the Plant is located in the 6600
block of Hines Blvd, and reserva
tions can be made by calling phone
number D-4-5151. Instructions on
how to dial a ’phone can be found
in any Dallas dictionary; get your
roommate to read them to you.
And if you’re hungry and want an
expensive meal, dinner will be ser
ved at 7:30 on the dining terrace.
On Friday evening Erskine
Hawkins, the 20th Century Ga
briel, is making a one-night stand
at the Yacht Club. If you like that
low-down rhythm and those blue
blues, latch on down to Cadiz and
Industrial around 9 p. m. until
midnight yell practice begins. Ad
mission is $2.50.
Out at Pappy’s Showland Jimmy
Joy and his Orchestra headline a
big floor show, including high wire
artists and a pair of dancing twins.
Now down to the peasant class.
. . . There are forty-odd theatres
in Dallas, showing modern pic
tures. So for a quiet, inexpensive
evening, we suggest a movie. Al
so, there are numerous parks and
gardens, complete with soft grass,
benches, and a great big moon.
For energetic couples, go ice skat
ing or roller skating.
And if none of the above are
available, just look for a parked
car that’s empty, crawl in, and
here’s hoping . . .
Military section pictures must
be made before Wednesday, No
vember 20. These include Regi
mental Commanders, Battalion
Commander, Regimental and Bat
talion staff individual pictures,
Junior staff pictures, Company
Commanders, seconds-in-command,
and First Sergeants. All must be
made with service caps. Junior
staffs must make arrangements
to have the members of their staff
at the studio at the same time, as
it will be the usual composite pic
ture.
Company Commanders are re
minded that the organization pa
ges will again feature informal
snapshots of company activities.
Each company should have eight
or ten good clear snapshots of
company life. Deadline for these
has been set at December 7. A
representative of the Longhorn
will contact each unit commander
or First Sergeant. Pictures may
also be turned into the Student
Activities office in an envelope
with the unit clearly marked on
the outside.
Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair deadline is still De
cember 15. Three 6x7 glossy
pictures are required: one bust
picture, one formal, full-length,
and one sports, full-length picture.
Charge for Vanity Fair is $1.50,
payable when pictures are turned
into the Student Activities Office.
This year Al Capp, of Lena the
Hyena fame, will select Vanity
Fair pictures.
Class Pictures
Junior and senior class pictures
may be made at the A. & M.
Photo Shop until Wednesday, No
vember 13. This is an extension
date for both classes, and there
will absolutely be no further ex
tension, the co-editors announced.
Sophomores may have their pic
tures made at the Photo Shop,
commencing November 8-22. From
November 23-December 15, fresh
men should have their pictures
taken.
Veterans, regardless of class,
will have until December 15 as the
final date for picture taking. The
veteran section of the yearbook
will be arranged by class (’44, *45,
etc.), separate from the Corps
section.
Society and Clubs
An addition to the Society and
Club section of the Longhorn will
be the featuring of the sweetheart
of each club. Charge for each club
will be $25, and clubs will be lim
ited to one page. Reservations
must be made at the Student Ac
tivities office prior to January 15,
and must be accompanied by a 5
x 7 gloss picture of its sweetheart
before a page will be reserved.
This is a good chance to create
added interest in the club’s activ
ities by conducting a contest to
determine the Sweetheart.
