This year the 'ne^jv Senate faces the
challenge to ciontinu|e j the~iiliccess of the
old Senate. A constitujtion has been adop

the Senate. But its strength lies m the
S 'fi
T
YOU choose. The Senate can be no better
than the men elected.
,It is significant that last year there
was no factionalism demonstrated in the
Senate. Corpsmen and non-military stu
dents served together conscientiously on
committees and all strove for a better
A&M. This year there is no reason that
thi^-prescedent cannot be continued.
Representative student government is
something relatively new here at A&M.
It ha^ been tried and proven successful.
We like the privilege qf choosing a rep
resentative ; if is consistent with our con
ception of democracy. This way interested
students are given the opportunity to ex
press themselves as individuals while
working for the common good. ' k
When you vote, vote for a man who
\yill actively represent you and who will,
at the same time, be a credit to this Ag-
gieland. Keep him on the ball.
Remember, without his voice, you are
sWent in student government.

DeBr^ Sir:
Who is William Sidney Porter?
I was assigned to find out his*
background for English 222, and
I can’t seem to make any headway.
Can you. help me out?
Thanks mucho,
T. C.
Answer: Bill Porter was perhaps
better known in literary circles as
O. Henry, famous short story Writ
er. It is he who wrote the stories
with the surprise endings.
jj). Henry was born in Greens
boro, N. C. Even today a leading
hotel bears his name, as does a
popular candy bar. He spent most
of his life in New York City, ex
cept for a brief time as a teller
in an Austin bank.-
Needless to say, these days spent
in the shadows of TU were not

Teen-Age Musical Comedy
Offers Good Entertainment
BY ANDY DAVIS
- A Date- With Judy (MGM)
starring Wallace Berry, Jane
Powell, Elizabeth Taylor, Car
men Miranda, Xavier ,Cugat,
Robert Stack, and Scotty Bfcek-
ett. (Campus)." ’ c’- ’
This is ohe musical that should
hit the spot with everybody. There
is just enough music, plenty of
laughs, and two lovely young la
dies to watch, Elizabeth Taylor
and Jane Powell.
Jane Ppwell as Judy, is as cute
as a bug arid is mighty sharp on
the vocals. This is the story of
Judy’s problems, and what the
teen-age people of today have to
contend with.
It seems Judy can’t make up her
mind whether to break 1 up her
romance with Oogee Pringle
(Scotty Beckett) or not, when

years older and more appealing to

for Oogee until Judy introduces
Stack to Elizabeth Taylor (a little
spoileu, a little lonely; and a little
to easy on the eye). Miss Taylor
not only happens to be Judy's best
friend, but she is also, Oogee’s
sister, so you can figure out w r hat
happens. ' V
j Romance is forgotten when a
crisis has to be met at Judy’s
home. Her dad (Wallace Beery)
decides to surprise the farplly by

should turn up as his teacher,

Carmen Miranda. Judy thinks
her dad is indulging in extra

Dear Sir: s
1 read in the Daily Worker re
cently that a Flint, Michigan
butcher had an answer to the gripe
hg continually heard on high
prices. He eased hig customers
pain by handing qut^'aspirin tab-*
lets with each order of meat.
I think tne idea »s a very good ^
one and should be incorporated in-' *
to pur registration procedure. That
is, give an aspirin with each as
signment card.
What y°o think?,.
