A third person had an idea about the
controversy. His idea was to apply tie

st an accom- ^tioning those spots on the campus thj f
are most unbearable in the summer heat.

The editorial controversy aroused ly
that one letter has convinced us that mu( h
remains to be done—we can use a golf
course, a swimming pooi-skating rinc,
and an air-conditioning system flung hete
and there around the campus.
But maybe we,won’t be able to get all
of them—at least not at once. Let’s decide
which should come first. What do you

What is causing bossie to become dis
satisfied with her placid lot of chewirg

yard observers close to the outbreaks
aren’t sure, but they point out^the sirrji-
larity between these defiances of authoiji-
ty and recent declarations around the
world.
Bovine leaders in Oklahoma, Kansas,
Illinois and Colorado have thus far spok

half dairy cows not taken a stand or pos
sibly taken the lead of the four othfer

Thus far local resistance has| been pja-
cific in nature, but from the widely scat
tered outbreaks, dissatisfaction may
spread faster than the pyramid clubs.
It remains to be seen whether this Se
ries of alarming adaptions of human in
struments and conveniences is communist
inspired. To be ojn the safe side, some nu
tional legislation may be necessary to sit-
isfy this discontent. Perhaps our bury,
filibustering Congress can find time to
push through an emergency Pure Hay

bellion.

Early morning coffhe drinkers
at the Cave, more familiarly known
as Casey's, found Foonv for specu
lation Tuesday morning when
they noticed the lack of silverware
for coffee-drinking purposes. The
traditional silver spoon had been
replaced by a wooden; model .
This seemingly trivial matter
wa$ the cause fot much conster-
nation with the drowsy diners.
The wooden spoon, they moaned,
must be outlawed; for it poses a
menace to the very foundations of
the coffee drinking institution.
The first difficulty occasioned
by the non-metallic silverware was
tMi inability to correctly measure
that exact amount of sugar. Even
frenzied slide-rule calculations
failed to determine the exact ra
tio between one normal spoonful

One of six travelingJart exhibits
touring Texas is now being shown
in the lobby of Cushing Memorial
Library, Paul Balance, acting liv
brarian, has announced.
The exhibit is being sponsored
at A&M by the Campus Study club
under the chairmanship of Mrs. E.
R. Alexander Of College Station.
Three groups of paintings make
up the exhibit—professional, ama
teur-adult, and amateur-student.
Among the paintings and sket
ches shown are “The Fisherman"
by Ruth Dunn, “Ruffled Petunias"
by Bill Culwell, “S P Yards at
Night” by Robert Reed and “Wings
Oifer Jordan” by l-ola Miller.
Anyone interested in having his
own paintings included with the
.exhibit may contact Mrs. Alexan-

of sugar and one wooden spoonful.
The lucky few who acciden
tally discovered the formula were
faced with still another problem.
Any attempt to stir the brew
resulted in a couple of burned
fingers, since the rather short
psuedo - sovels proved entirely
inadequate in reaching the bot
tom of a full cup.
Another cause for gripes was
the amazing propensity of the
spoons to float away from those
who failed to maintain a firm grip.
A spoon floating in a cup of coffe^
incidentally, is rather hard to re
trieve. /
From the flavor angle, some
customers maintained that the pine
picnic spoons altered both the
aroma and taste of the morning
cup. Resin, they say, melted out
of the spoons and gathered in
thin skim on top of the liquid.
Others maintained that the im
plement was potentially danger
ous as a source of splinters. No
evidence has been found, how
ever, to support this argument.
— With few exceptions, the entire
dientel of thd local coffee dis
pensary looked on the substitution
as a violation of their sacred and
inalienable rights. The manage
ment, in/ the meanwhile, excused
itself with the statement that the
change was necessary due to a
shortage of both labor and sijver-
ware.’ 0

Bill
WASHINGTON, March 26
By a one vote margin, the House
yesterday shelved the Rankin Vet-
erans’ Pension Bill.
A roll-call vote of 208 to 207
sent the measure back to the vet
erans committee for further study.
It is possible for the Veterans’
Committee to write a new bill and
send it back to the House at a
later date.
But Chairman Rankin (D-Miss)
told the House the vote to recom
mit meant that the bill is dead.
* Bill “Killed”
“That kills this legislation for
this congress,” Rankin said.
Rankin’s Bill already had been
so amended that it bore little re
semblance to his original propo
sal for $90 a month pensions at
age 65 to all world war one and
two veterans. {,
The vote to throw it back to
committee climaxed a series of
maneuvers on the floor.
Rep. Teague (D-Tex) made the
motion to send it back.' !
The roll call vote was first
announced as 2Q9 to 208 against
the motion. 1 [A
Tabulations Err
' But on a recount, It developed
that the tabulators had erred on
fhtvfirst count. , . j ’ / f ■
There were no vote switches on
the recapitulation. /
Rep. McCormack (D-Mais), pre
siding in the absence from the city
of speaker Rayburn, Ordered the
recount on his own initiative.
The House sat in tense silence
as the names of each member and
the Way they voted were called out
by clerks. It wan so quiet the auto
matic counter used by the clerks
could be heard clicking.
It was the closest vote on a
major bill in the Hoiise since lata
in 1941 when, by a one-vote mar
gin, the bill to continue the draft
law was passed.' f r
Teague Leads Way
Teague first moved to strike
out the bill’s enacting clause—
ordinarily a motion that kills a
bill if it carries. That lost 169 io!
/158 on a standing count.
Then Teague got a teller vote
on jthe same motion. It carried
then, 171 to 168.
Teague’s motion to send the bill
back to committee followed, bring
ing the roll call and the recount

The bill making the change also
