♦ (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.

academically superior, bht that a
lot depended on the girl in ques

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

With question one safely behind
me, I ventured on to the second
query on the poll.
It read, "Do you have oppor
tunity while in college to make ac
quaintances of the opposite aex?
What is your opinion of college
men? Do you have a date prefer
ence between college and non-col
lege men?”
The answers to this question will
appear in tomorrow’s Battalion.
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.
As CNO, Sherman succeeded
Admiral Louis Denfield, an out
spoken back of the admirals’ cot-
ergie that had contended the Navy
.was being frozen out in strate
gic decisions.
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.

Presses
The official directory for
students, staff, and faculty is
now off of the presses.
Names, addresses, phone
numbers, classifications and
majors, may be found in the Stu
dent Activities Office for fifty
cents., i
“The only thing that is missing
is the "sack” they sleep in,” Sidney
L. Wise, assistant director of stu
dent publications, said.
The red bound book has 151 pages
of pertinent information, Wise
said. 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. Also his home ad
dress, and home phone number are
included.
The student section has the per
son’s name, classification, major,
campus address, post office box,
and home town.
The paying part of the directory
is compiled to furnish at a glance,
what and where to buy things,
Wise added.
In all, there are 78 students with
the name Smith, while Jones has
only 66. 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.

Thuir*dwy, 3 November 1949, re
viewed informally our dlscussloni
with members of the Houston
A& 4 Club committee and the ap
propriate and Interested officials
of the City. 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. I will be glad to
mee t with your committee or the
sen or class any time.
‘‘A copy of this letter is being
forwarded to President F. C. Bol
ton since the discussions have
reached the press and we believe
he is entitled to know of these"

(Continued from Page 3)
All-America, the defending cham
pion Cleveland Browns, were
breaking a first place deadlock
with the New York Yankees
by humbling the Chicago Hor
nets, 35-2.
The Yankees bowed to the Buf
falo Rills, 14-17, when the Bills’
Chet Adams kicked a .12-yurd !fl<jld
goal two and a half minutes be
fore the final gun.
In losing, the Yankees blew a
chance to aew up a berth in the
fourteam post-se&KOn playoff. 1
i. The New Yorkers now .have
six victories and two defeata to
hold the second rung behind
Cleveland, which holds seven tri
umphs, one loss and a tie.
Browns, 49’er8 In "1 .
Cleveland and the third-place
Forty-Niners, who walloped the
Baltimore Colts, 28-10, Sunday,
have clinched playoff spots. The
Forty-Niners have won seven And
dropped three. >
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.
