Directory Gift
Promised Grads
By Aggie Exes
January graduates of A&M
College are in line for a special
gift from the former students,
according to James B. “Dick”
Hervey, executive secretary of
the ' Association of Former Stu
dents. Every student receiving his
degree at the end of this semes
ter will be given a complimentary
copy of the new directory of for
mer students. 1.
The directory contains approxi
mately 38,000 names and addresses
of all men who ever attended the
college, and the most complete list
of A&M men who died during
World War II is a special section
of it. The directory is dedicated
to those casualties.
“The directory is a Valuable as
set to everyone connected with
the school, and January graduates
will be able to use the directory
in making contacts wherever they
go,” Hervey said. “It is a key to
keeping in touch with those other
former students who share the
same interests, backgrounds and
educations as the January grad
uates.”
A letter has been written to
every candidate for a degree,
and a questionnaire is enclosed for
the graduate to complete and bring
to the Association offices at room
104, Administration Building. Thi*
information will be placed on per
manent file, and the January grad
uate* will be given’their copy of
the directory when thdy come by

Committee Rebukes
Presidential Aide
Washington, Jnn. 19 </P>—Maj.
Gen, Harry H. Vaughan, President
Truman's milltairy aide, was re
primanded sharply ’ yesterday by
the Senate complittee which con
ducted last sunimer’s spectacular
five percenter inquiry.' [■
In ' a unanimous report on the
investigation, the committee took
Vaughan to tajsk for accepting
seven home freezers as gifts and
it, criticized him! on other counts.
Vaughan gave'one of the freezers
to Mrs. Truman. Some of the units
went to other i Washington not
ables. j
(The commitltee said it’s all
right for the president and his
family to accept gifts because
throughout the history of the na
tion the American people have pre
sented them “as a token of their
esteem and a mark of respect for
the high office He holds.”)
The committeie’s report bluntly
denounced John F. Maragon, Wash
ington man-about^town who was
indicted early this’ month by a
federal grand jury which accused
himi of lying Withe senate group.
The committee’s public hearings
last August brought testimony
that Maragon enlisted Vanghan’s
aid in an effort to weild influence
with other government officials
and in attempts to secure favbrs
for friends..
In its report the committee con
cluded :
“There is no | doubt that Mara-
gon’s friendship with Gen. Harry
H. Vaughan mape his (Maragoh’s)
activities in hU realings with the
federal government possible.
Position Used
“In several instances Hie evi
dence showed that General
Vaughan or hip office personally
intercee<|ed with government agen
cies on behalf of Maragon or those
whom he represented."
The report said, ,too. that a
combination of! factors “made it
possible for Maragon to u»e the
great prestige of the White Hou*e
for hi* own advantage.”

1‘The Sanity Code of the Nation
al Collegiate Athletic Association
is impractical,” sayff, D. W, Wil
liams chairman of the Athletic
Council for the college and vice-
president (District 6) of the NC-
Williams, who is also acting
chairman of the Southwest Confer-
ence Executive Committee, was in
terviewed yesterday by The Battal
ion, following a series of news
releases on recent NCAA internal
squabbles.
“Our game with Virginia Mil
itary Institute (one of the seven
schools almost expelled from the
NCAA as violators of the San
ity Code) will be .played next
September as scheduled,” Wil
iams said.
“I do not believe that the major
ity of members of the NCAA will
boycott any of these seven schools.
Chances are that the schools who
behind the boycott do not even
any of these'seven,” he said.
ie NCAA is a group composed
of athletic organisations represent
ing around 300 colleges and uni
versities in the United States, with
various affiliated associations.
Williams and Barlow “Bones”
Irvin, athletic director of the col
lege, attended the NCAA meet in
New York City last week.
Harry Stiteler, head football
>ach for the Aggies^ also made
attending the concurrent
the National Football
Gpache* Association. The trio all
returned from New York early
tljls week.
"You shouldn't penalise a fel
low for playing football or any
•ther sport,” Wlllleme aalu.
“Give the athlete Just an even
break-—nothing better, nothing
worse,’” he said.
Under the present code set up by
the association, member schools
may award athletic scholarships,
but they must require the student
to work in repayment of the sub-
sidation. j :i j .
Each of the “Seven Sinners”
—VMI, VPI, Virginia, Villanova,
Maryland, the Citadel, and Boston
College—said that 1 they could not
comply with the regulations of
the Sanity Code at the New York
meeting. The Citadel withdrew
from the NCAA as a result of the
meeting, s
Three 1 conferences—the South
west,’ the Southeast, and the
Southeni conference—proposed an
amendment to the ruling, but it
did not receive approval.
“Our proposal,” Williams said,
“was that the schools be allowed
to-set up a training table, there
by furnishing board for*those
students on athletic scholarships.
This stipulation would allow the
student a smaller sum to repay
through student labor,” he said.
“It is impossible under the pre
sent code for an athlete to do the
required amount of work and still
fulfill his training obligations dur
ing hi* respective sports season.
With his studies, his workout, and
his required work, he just has too
much to do,” said Williams.
A&M is not violating the rules
of the association a* interpreted
by the Southwest Conference, Wil-
Hams said. He thinks that the pres
ident of the NCAA, who recently
requested that member schools
boycott the Sevan violators, Is
sneaking a* an Individual, not as
the NCAA.
"He hasn’t the authority to make
such a request,” Williams said.
“This authority rests with an in
terim council ivhich controls the
association’s affairs between meet
ings.”
Members of this council are the
NCAA president, secretary, the
eight district Vice-presidents (one
of which is Williams), and seven
members-at-large.
“The outcome of the situation
will probably be the manufacture
of a more practical code for the
NCAA, on a liberalized basis,”
Williams said. “This code should
be one which jean be both prac
ticed and enforced, not allowing
for evasions.”
Virginia’s delegation said that
they could meet the requirements
of the present code if the proposed
amendment favored by the SWC
had been approved, Williams said.
“I feel sure j that no Southwest
Conference school cast its ballot
in favor of expelling the seven
schools,” he concluded.
Barlow “Bones” Irvin, athletic
director of the! college, said in an
other interview yesterd*-* after
noon that he, too, thought the San
ity j Code must be liberalized to
insure future success of the NCAA.
Next meeting of the association
will; be held in Dallas in January,.

Price Supports
Due for Pork,
Demos to Buy
Washington, Jan 19—AP—
The Government, acting to
strengthen producer prices of
hogs, yesterday became a
competitor of the housewife
for bacon and ham.
Announced by the Agriculture
Department last night, the Fede
ral pork buying program is ex
pected to have political reactions
as well as effects on the coat of
living.
Unannounced quantities of pork
will be bought in a move to assure
hog farmers prices which the gov
ernment has promised them. Heavy
marketings have pulled hog prices
slightly below levels which, the
department said, would guarantee
u national farm average of
$14.00 for 106 pounds this mqnth.
Government buying will ho 'lim
ited for the time being to bacon,
smoked hains and smoked picnic
shoulders. But it Is cxpocteq to
pushup prices for virtually all
pork cuts and possibly prioea of
beef, Jamb and mutton. 1
The department also disclosed it
is ready to give away surplus po
tatoes to the school lunch program,
the Bureau of Indian Affairs,) and
relief agencies helping the njeedy
at home and abroad. The potatoes
are being bought by the depart
ment under a grower price support
program.
Polities may be drawn into the
pork program because (1) i{ re
calls arguments supporters have
made for the controversial Bran-
nan farm plan endorsed by presi
dent Truman, and (2) it raises
the question of whether govern
ment purchases of lard ^lone
would have supported hog prices.
If meat prices go up—ros depart
ment officials said they most as
suredly will do—it wifi give ad
ministration leaders another chance
to argue for the Brannah proposal.
This plan has been cold-shoulder
ed so far by congress and bitterly
opposed by most of the tpajor
farm organizations.

Book Plan Use
Gaining Favor,
Birdwell Says
The Exchange Store Lay-
A-Way plan of procuring
books and supplies for the
Spring Semester is getting off
to a good start, according to
Carl Birdwell, Manager.
“Some 200 students had reserved
books and supplies by noon Wed
nesday”, Birdwell said, “and we
hope that number will reach 2i000
by Saturday.” j
The Lay-away plan, which
was first offered students for the
Fall Semester of* 1949, provided an
easy, pleasant way of ^curing
all needed supplies with a mini
mum of time and effort involved.
All the sudent has to do is give
any sales person in the Exchange
Store a list of courses for which
books and equipment will be need
ed. The student receives a serially
numbered claim check and goes on
his way.
All items requested are gather-
and lane
ed into one packagi
with the students name
led
— and claim
number. Any time prior to Feb,
6 the student may present hi*
claim check at the package win
dow on the east side of the Ex
change Store building and receiva
his package of books and sup
plies.
The student has the right t« re
ject any or all Items offered, may
.exchange Items or add additional
Items at the tlpio. No deposit Is
required end no payment is mad*
until package la called ifpr. 4
Students who find It desirable
to purchase used books, should take
advantage of the plan Birdwell
said, as all orders are filled oh
a first come first servo basis.; Re
quests for used Itooks now will as

in best condition.
“Over 700 Students uwed the
Lay-A-Way plan in September,"
Birdwell said, “and everyone who
used it was satisfied with the time
and effort saved. If 2,000 to 4,000
will avail themselves of the: ser
vices this semester, our service to
all students can be materially im
