Mar- cantonio (Alp-NY), charing that Rep. Rankin (D-pliW cast reflec tions on two ndgro congressmen by calling singer Paul Robeson a ‘'nigger - 'communist." "There is a negro race," and many of its members are proud of it, Rayburn said. The speaker said he understood Rankin to say "Negro." Marcantonio contended it was "nigger.” Rankin said he always sayft "ne gro”—although the way he said it, it sounded" like “niggra.” That’s the way it’s said in the South, he told reporters later, .although he always spells it n-e-g-r-o. The flare-up came during a dis cussion of the violent Peekskill demonstration against Robeson. It began when Rep. Javits (D- NY) told the House he deeply re gretted the whole affair at Peeks- kill, N.Y. It illustrated, he said, thfe need for an anti-lynching law to protect minorities — especially hated minorities." Rankin leaped to his feet to say the sympathies of the American people are with the war veterans “who tried to break up the meet ing ... and not with any- Negro Communist.’’ -r Confusion on Kyle Field ish \finds Aggie Football Also Played in the Stands It was very late when the r • 1 WPti!

Tb*" young Aggie had just witnessed his first AKfrie football game, and as all Fish do, he got things balled up. This Is what he tild his cousin about the game: Dear Cousin Tesaie, . I went to an extitin^, butj stren uous event the dthfr night: Iny first 1 Aggie football game, i As I entered the stands), the applause and yells were almost deafening. I knew that Texas Ag gies were noted for their friendli ness, but I though this was carry ing it a bit too far. a dhtlngulNhed gentleman z: HUM'S Then I realized that numerous layers had just entered, the field, ome were in gray uniforms, while othersi were in orange and black. Now, [being a poor fish (I'll give you a definition later), I didn’t know which ones Were| the Aggies, so I just yelled for both teams to be sure. | After I picked found that there broken, the game with his cap cocked down over his eyes, Informed me that a Mr. Surge wished to meet me. - I waft surprised, because I did n’t know anyone, there, but get someone wanted to meet me. It seemed that Mr. Surge was from C square taking E square. A math major, I deducted. jSe was a. charitable, but bash ful sort of person, for he told me to give Mr. L. Legs something, and that if he asked me where U came from, just say “Mr. Sapta Claus from the North Pole taking Toyology sent It to you;" While I was talking to Mr. Lbgs and his date, a player i^a black suit dashed across the goal line. I was) Related, still not knowing which side was which. I was yell ing at the top of my lungs when all of a sudden, I heard someone yell "Grab it and squeeze!" Since there was nothing to grab but Mr. Leg’s date, I Hcizcd the beautiful opportunity. This seemed to annoy Mr. Legs, for he screamed, “Fish, did you get a buzz?" I answered, “1 sure did. sir," and left. I met another Mr. Sophomore during the second half of the game, and he explained the game to me. I was disappointed to find out that we were behind. Another player crashed over for a tally. "To bad we’re losing the game," remarked to Mr. Sophomore. "What do you mean losing the game?” he said. “We still have a minute and a half to play. Any way, the way we play, the low score wins. 5 It’s just like.golf." Well, cousin, that’s how Texas A&M—that' is. the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas —edged Villanova 0*35. Everyone must have been pleased with the game, because I overheard several Aggies saying, "Meett us at Ed’s and we’ll celebrate the game.” I guess that about finishes the Aggie news this week, so I’ll sign off with this last statement, “B. H.O.O.T.T.” ! , j . As ever, Fish Smells as a fish correspond-, to tan ytara in tha outside world, ao freshmen, (aka .heart. As classes started, the freshmen settled down to work in a hurry.

This year, the same as last, we intend to publish our freshman page on Thursday of onch week. Duripg the first year off the freshman Battalion’s operation it was mimeographed and distributed at the \ Annex.

Aa yet. the freshman staff la not completely organised. This week they wrote their copy and the cam pus staff edited, wrote heads for It, and made up their page.
