•“ ■. . I ' Women — Second in a Series f • • I Ball Pollst About All "f:. Y ■ V ■ BY ROGER C08LETT ♦ (Editor’s Note—In this, the sec ond story of a series on “IVhy Wo- men^Go to College", Coslett gives the answer to the first question on his poll. The question was "What would you think of iattending an ail-girls’ college?) "Attend a girls’ college? I should say not! Life is too short to waste it that way—and besides, girls’ colleges are too narrow minded." I could see at a glance a long glance (she was a tall girl)-, that I had hit upon a filling subject for my poll. ^ ' She shifted he position on the sand to better catch the sun’s rays and continued on in a friend ly voice that at times dipped into dipped into a slight southwestern tang, "A girls’ college does not give one opportunity for adjust ment with the opposite sex." At least she was frank in her answers. And, as I was soon to learn from the remaining questions, she was also truthful. But, since this writing is to cover only ques tion number "one, that would be jumping ahead of our story. So well leave this young lady and go on to other victims. Leav-, ing^her here on this page is, I find, much easier than leaving her out! 1 there on the Northwestern beach. A 19-year old Illinois lass with one broken engagement to her credit said, “L think a girls* col- —lege may be okey for the first two years, but I feel that girls coming from a girls’ college are , more nep on getting a man." r - It appear that the swimming suit she was wearing was resigned to catch her more than just a sun tan. truth in it assording to an ed that appeared recently in the Daily Lasso.

Others agreed with her and even went so far as to say that too much emphasis is putj on social life in a co-ed college. A cocky junior from an all girls’ school said that l;fie situa tion there was ideal for the making of better understanding between women. Hmm-they can’t evCn un derstand themselves! In opposition to their yiewj point was a pert 21-year-old graduate student who stuck out h ?r bottom lip and said, ‘‘Social education is as valuable as academic and after all they are interesting —men, that is.” All told, eleven of the tervlewedl would not th tending a girls’ college; three wend, educational institutions; would utten but preferred co- and three actually attended girls colleges.

Navy Chief To Tighten Ship Washington, Nov. 3 —Admiral Forrest P. Sherman moved swift ly today to. tighten ship under the new Navy top command by as signing {Rear lAdmiral John JT. Ballentine, Pacific War Hero, to his own old post in the Mediterran ean. Sherman, pulled out of command of the Sixth Task fleet in the Med iterranean to take over as - chief of naval operations, was sworn in only yesterday after a shake- up growing^ out of the inter-ser vice row over war roles. .j Shortly after the announcement of Ballentine’s assignment, Sher man attended his first meeting of the joint chiefs of staff where the quarrels over unification policy had centered. He was introduced to the other members of the joint chiefs by the chairman, Gen. Omar Bradley.

In taking over the NaVy’s top uniformed command, Sherman in dicated he will try to talk out troubles before any more official heads are lopped off.

In general it is divided into three sections; Faculty, Students, and a buyers guide. In the faculty division such things as the professor's depart ment and office phone number are to be found.

The Browns are third with 37. Among the staff \and faculty there are 12 Smiths, 8 Jones, and a mere 7 Browns. In the Student section William John Aaberg is the first name and Joe Zumwalt is the last. People listed in the directory with their name beginning with an X are scarce at a Dodo bird. There aren’t any. The students with names that start with Q are almost extinct, there are only two.

You will note the re view was informal &a per our agreement. ": t remains the consensus and wishes that a midnight yell prac tice not be conducted in Houston and that no demand be made on the city officials for an official hearing.. It was concluded that such a demand could result in un favorable action and comment with resultant embarrassment to all. Therefore our original request for parade and subsequent yell prac tice still stands. “ Bobby, we sincerely hope that you, your committee and fellow members of the Senior Class will agr ;e to these thoughts and that all our efforts will be concentrated towjard the furtherance of Texas A&M. “ [ reiterate my statements of 2 K ovember 1949 that we are all interested in the betterment of Tej^as A&M.

The Yankees bowed to the Buf falo Rills, 14-17, when the Bills’ Chet Adams kicked a .12-yurd !fl The Bills, beaten by Cleveland in the AAC title game last year, kept their playoff hopes alive with their last-gasp triumph. With three victories, five defeats and a tie, they barely trail the fourth-place Chicago Hornets, who have a 4-5 mark. The Chicago Bears remained on the heels of Loe Angeles in the Na tional League’s Western scramble by subduing Green Bay, 24-3, on, Johnny Lujack’s opportunist pass ing. The Bears now have four vic tories and three defeats and an outside chance of overtaking the Rams for the divisional crown. Eagles Have Edge The Eagles have the same sized edge over the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants in the East ern race. The Steelers -and Giants both lost Sunday to drop to a sim ilar mark of four victories and three defeats. Pittsburgh outplayed and out- scored the Washington > Bftfekin* for three periods only to lose, 27- 14, when the Redskins shoved ac* cross fhree touchdowns last period. The Giants were also victims of a late rally as the New York Bulldogs scored their first triumph of the year, 31-24, behind the sharp passing of Bobby Layne. The Chicago Cardinals, the Na tional League’s major disappoint ment, found somebody they could lick in last-place Detroit and won over the Lions, 42-19, at Detroit.
