College Males Wonderful
Says Balt Survey Victim
By ROGER COSLETT One of the attractive girls’ col- The lass had been outv.
I *
(Editor's note—-Today’s article
concerns itself with the answer
to the following questions: “Do
you have ample opportunity
i; while in college to make ac-
: quaintances of the opposite sex?
What is your opinion of college
men? Do you have a date pref
erence between college and non-
college men?”
Opportunity seems to knock for
the lass in the co-ed college. Ac
cording to 12 co-eds, they have am
ple opportunity to make acquain
tances of the opposite sex while in
college.
Three less fortunate ladies felt
that they did not have ample op
portunity. The three girls’ college
veterans felt that they must make
their own opportunity for meeting
men. » ' \
If this latter case is true, I have
seen several girls in bur sister
school to whom I would gladly
give a starting shove. But, then
again, they might be sitting back
and waiting for the men to make
the move.
Of course, there are a few wom
en who had rather restrict the too
fast movements of some of our
more talented flock members.
This brings us to what the col
lege woman thinks of college men.
Our friend from New Mexico,
as frank as before, thought that
college men were “dominating,
carefree, and wonderful/’
Club Women Hear
Talk on Children
The Extension Service Club met
last Thursday afternoon in the
YMCA lounge on the campus.
'Rie Subject of a talk given by
Mrs. E. T. Johnson was “The
Child—A Human Being”. To illus
trate her discussion, Mrs. John
son used some effective charts.
She-pointed out the needs of each
humah being along with the basic
''diet. '
The business meeting was pre
sided over by Mrs. Fred Elliot,
president. Mrs. Elliott was elected
as delegate of the club to attend
the State Federation of Women’s
Clubs convention in Austin on the
16, 17, and 18th. of this month.
Program leader for the day was
Mrs. Jack Sloan. Mrs. C. W. Sim
mon was the chairman of the
hostesses, assisted by Mrs, George
E. Adams,,Mrs. Dora Barnes, Mrs.
J. A. SScofield of Vernon, and Mrs.
W. I. Glass of Denton.
-i-
tracti
lege veterans said that college men
were superior and more stimula
ting, A bitter miss from Oak Park,
Illinois, felt that some were not
mature enough. She was all of
20-years of age.
Al| 16-year old freshman, bewil
dered by it all, thought that col
lege men were very mature. The
married selectee felt that college
men (were serious minded and con
scientious. ;
Another of our girls’ college vet-
erar s (the cocky one) felt that
the majority of college men were
too “Joe College." "Too ,Ra Ra”
was the opinion expressed on col
lege men by a shapely Chicago
blor de.
“College men are friendly and
in need of companionship,” an
swered a very companionable co
ed from Chicago. After getting
to know this dark-haired miss, I
fidd it hard to believe that a
. man’s best friend is his dog. j : |
A 22-year-old Kansas kinder-
garten teacher thought that col
lege men were “overbearing, ag
gressive, and conceited at times.”
Thi i beautiful young blonde wore
a stunning black strapless suit that
woi ld base brought cat calls from
even the 5‘year-olds. As for my
self, all I can say is, “What is
the age limit for, kindergarten?”
t-b ew York is a far cry from Kan
sas and a New York miss ex-
pressed a quite different opinion
thai had natives of the former
sta e. She said, "College men are
easy to get along with because
they are so understanding.”
i 'j., I ; ;' ’ •
j lumping back across the coun
try to a rather shy North Dako-
tata got us back into the Kansas
lirte of thought again. She said,,
“f feel that some of the boys
are wasting their father’s mon
ey. I would not go- with non-
college men—there’s no future
to it.”

Her statement concerning date
preference was expressed in less
explicit terms by eight othe|r of the
selectees. Of the remaining ten,
four preferred to date college men
over non-college men, while three
said that they would datje both.
The other two were liberal! enough
to say, “It depends upon the fel

Unfortunately, I did not have the

Jersey - Brahma
Cross Planned
The development of a new dairy
cow for the South is in progress
at A&M according to Dr. R. R.
Shrcxle, Animal Geneticist.
The purpose of this new project
is to deve|op a heat and external
parisite-resistant animal that cap
retain a high milk production dur
ing the hjot sdmmdr months. The
Brahman I cattle are known for
their resistance to external para
sites and h<jat tolerance, and they
are being crossed I with the Jer
sey, which is high in milking qual
ities.
This new type of cow should
retain the desired characters of
both the Brahman and the Jer
sey. At present the college has 30
Brahman females that have been
donated by the American Brah
man Breeders Association, and 15
Jersey bulls that have superior
sire ratings.
The project is to extend for 25
years; during which time the ani-
mais will be crossed and back-
crossed several times, and each time
the offsprings will be selected and
culled. J ,

Democratic victories
in New York’s U. S. Senate race
and in widespreading city elec
tions set President Truman and the
party high command chortling to
day over the outlook for 1950.
Republicans didn’t find much to
crow about in yesterday’s elections.
They held on to th? New Jersey
governorship they already had and
tossed out a Democratic nfayor
here and there.
But they took a mauling in the
day’s feature political bout, in New
York State. Democrat Herbert H.
Lehman easily knocked Republican
John Foster Dulles out of the U.S.
Senate seat Dulles has held down
since last July.
There was one, big, clear-cut
issue: Lehman campaigned hard
for the Truman home-front pro
gram; Dulles campaigned hard
against it.
The president himself, gleefully
calling out returns at a dinner in
his honor by the Women’s Demo
cratic Club of Washington, inter
preted the result as a vote of con
fidence in his “fair deal.”
Mr. Truman said it would have
“a very decided effect on the elec
tion |iki 1950” when control of Con
gress is at stake. So did the Dem
ocratic national chairman, Wiliam
Boyle, Jr.
Furthermore, Boyle said, Leh
man’s Victory “was only the high
light of a national trend” that won
out again over Republican “gener
alities” and “scare attacks.” Part
of that “trend” was a repeat win
for Democratic mayor William
O’Dwyer of New York City.
The G.O.P. national chairman,
Guy George Gabrielson, said in a
statemfent that “the principles
which Senator Dulles expounded
in his campaign are those which
ultimately will prevail, because
they are right.”
In New Jersey, Gabrielson said,
the reelection of Republican Gov.
Alfred E. Driscoll was a blow at
“bossism” and “hagueism.”
Driscoll handed a direct defeat
to his Democratic rival, State Sen
ator Elmer H. Wene. And he gave
an indirect drubbing to Frank
Hague, the former Jersey City
mayor and boss of the state Dem
ocratic organization who backed
Wene.
Hague announced he is “stepping
aside.” At 73, he said, he has
reached an age when it is impos
sible to “carry on the arduous du
ties” of the Democratic leadership.
Boston voters tossed out the last
old-time boss still in power when
they refused a fifth term to Dem-j
ocratic mayor James M. CurleyJ
They picked another Democrat,
city clerk John B. Hynes.
The Democrats got no big numer-j
