On Splitting the Chest Tonight . . .
Tonight Student Senators will, among
cither thlngn, decide how the Campua
Chdat money raised in this year's cam- ,
piaign will be spent. | ,
The original $4,000 Chest goal fell far
short of its mark, but the total collections
(^id redeb the $2,000 mark. That amount
Will not permit as ambitious a program as
the. Senate and the Chegt committeeman .
originally planned.
But the sum is sufficient to begin the t
12th Man Scholarship and to contribute
to the World Students Service Fund. Beth
these Funds were included in the Cam
pus Oiest campaign and should be given
top consideration for the bulk of money
collected through the Campus Chest Drive.
By starting the 12th Man Scholarship
this year, students now enrolled at A&M
will have the satisfaction of having start
ed a noble endeavor here—that of the
student body sponsored scholarship to a
worthy man. V. >
5 Whatever amount it takes to get the
12th Man Scholarahip atarted rolling, we
mudt allocate it. The hucccmm of the schol-
arship thla year will insure future suc
cess to that fund and to the whole Campus
Chest drive in years to come. ^
For several years now this student
body has, through separate donations, giv
en to the World Student Service Fund.
This amounts to an Aggie helping a for
eign student who can’t help himself.
I’ The Campus Chest this year was an
opportunity to continue this noble ges
ture as well a% institute the 12th Man
Scholarship. These two movements tied
together formed the preponderate amount
of money given to the Campus Chest.
Our Chest should keep back a small
portion of the total amount collected —
perhaps $100—for contingencies that
might arise in the future and to finance
next year’s Campus Chest campaign.
What is done tonight l^y the Senate
will decide how the Aggie student body
splits its 1950 Campus Chest. - '
[e Girls: Wolf esses in Co-ed’s Clothing
In scanning the state papers _we ran
across a report -by a psychologist on
American college women.
•The psychologist warned that the
American college girl is nothing more
than a wolf in co-ed’s clothing and that
she has a strange tendency to fall in love
width two or more mfen at the same time.
And what is worse, the psychologist dis
covered, the girls love these two or more
meh with equal intensity.
' Tills startling data (startling perhaps
to the psychologist, but certainly not news
tji> most Aggies who remember their see-
“’qml-best races Tor fair maidens' hearts)
whs collected from 600 campus;CUtlea in
10 American universities.
These gifls’ dream boy is 20 years old,
''fairly" good looking, and very intelligent.
tall,,well buMt and does not resemble
fiis Sweetie’s father, the- questionaires
filled out by po-eds revealed,” said the
UP stofy. , ' - ?
I "The survejtJndicated that American
College girls tend to have several love ob
jects in their lives, "‘Ellis (the psycholo-
' gist) said. “They’re hot monogamous in
their love feelings. About 25>percent were
hi Ibve with two or three males at once at
some time in their lives.”' ) f
“But,they tend to view their past laves
as infatuations and their present infatua
tions asToves,” his report continued.
“When she has been taught that she’s
supposed to have a few or nor'infatuations
and only one real, lifetime-lasting love,
and when she finds she has had several
infatuatuations or loves even before grad
uation, she may get anxiety and gHilt feel
ings from successive, and possible simtii-
taneous, amatory involvements,” reads
tho_ report psychologist Ellis prepared.
Fourty-four percent of the gilin ques
tioned reported theyj- woro ’fvery much"
surprised when It dawned <s»i them they^
had fallen In love, l ive story .concluded.
The combined experienced of the Bat
talion staff agree with the results of psy
chologist Ellis' survey. We also believe
most of our readers in all-male A&M will
agree, too.
Our hearts reach out for these poor,
weak little creatures with their infatua
tions and “amatory involvements”. What
can be. said to console them ?
Pity the women? No sir. Pity the
poor souls who get caught in these dual
affairs and discover there are no prizes
for second place, only memories and emp
ty pocketbooks.
In Florida, Pepper Was Out of Reach . ..
In Florida earlier this week voters
Chose Congressman George Smathers ov-
0r Senator Calude Pepper for the Demo
cratic nomination to the senatorial post
ih next November’s national elections. In
preponderately Democratic Florida,
SmatheV’s victory this wCek is^ia^feamount
to election: ^ J
The issues involved between Smathers
md Peppe^ were not clearly defined.
Smathrs declared that he finds “creeping
socialism” in much of the Truman pro
gram, but he claims himself to be a “mid
dle-of-the-road liberal.” Pepper plugged
the Fair Deal theme right down the line
and was one of its most ardent spokes
men in Congress.
Smathers’ election does not portend
any great change in the political attitude
of the voters of Florida; they have still
chosen a liberal.

6 Barricade 9 A R
Warner’s 6 The Sea Wqlf
i
By HHUMAN C. GOLLOB
Barricade (Warner*) MUrrinx
Dane Clark, Bulk Roman, and
Haymond MnsNry (Campun).
Were we to] rub the golden «pnce
bar of opr typewriter now and thua
summon Hedita, our guardian genie
we should iihk only one thing: a
job ns Hcript writer for the War-1
ncr Brother*.
\ At prenent, that neem* to u*
the easiest way to earn our bread
and butter. Alt one needa to do ,
is see a. ,f*w old Warner movies,
digest them thoroughly, then
mentally regurgitate them, mak
ing only those superficial chan
ges which would deceive ol’ Joe
Moviegoer into (kinking the story
new. |
Take “Barricade,” for instance:
the Campus’ current feature]
through which the brothers Warner
are vicariously picking the pockety 1
of every sucker who plunks down 1
forty cents with the idiotic idea
that he’s going to get something
different for his cash.
If this isn’t x bastardization
of Jack London’s “T h e ■ S e a
Wolf,” a melodrama of mature
proportions which Warners made
several years ago, we’ll usher
free of charge at the Campus for ]
a week.
To recapitulate the story of
“The Sea Wolf,” it opens on a
foggy,’foreboding night on the Sap
Francisco waterfront, at the thni
of the century. We are introduced
to a couple of characters fleeing
the law- John Garfield, who was
forced to run away after killing
a man in a fight, and Ida Lupinoj,
wha has escaped from prison. j
Garfield i]i shanghaied aboarti
the ship of j Edward G. Robinson],
a fanatical, tjyranical captain whosi
crew la mad* ur. entirely of rene
gade*. Lupine boards a ferry,
meets cultured Alexander Knox,
and 1* cornered by the cop*. Before
she can be arrested the ferry la
rammed. Lunlno and Knox ara fish
ed out of the water by Robinson,
and along with Garfield, become
virtually hia prisoners.
li nil-dead, Luplno is saved hy
a transfuaiod from Garfield, ad
ministered by Knox wit'
sistancc of Gene Lockhe
en ship’s doctor who wags once «
great physician.
Garfield, a cocky, hot .
lad defies Robinson from the
start, and gets slapped down for
his impertinence. Knox, whom
we learn is a writer, is working
as helper to the cook, Barry
Fitzgerald, a viperous, 'treach
erous little man with a silly
giggle.
Robinson takes a strange liking
to Knox, chiefly because Knox
knows him for what he is—a pow
er-mad gent with an inferiority
complex which he tries toj cover
up with sheer brutality, and soul
racking headaches, which he passes
off as nothing.
Meanwhile, Lupine recovers and
is brought on deck by Lockhart,
whose confidence has been restored
by his success with the former.
In response to Lockhart’s Request
that be he called “Doctor,” Robin
son ridicules him in front -of the
crew. Lockhart • then dashes to
