Camera Cluh Has
Developing Talk
The second in a series of lec
tures on film and photographic
print processing was presented to
the A&M Camera Club in Room 3A
of the Memorial Student Center
Oct. 13. Guest speaker was Walter
Lang, senior ChE major from
Houston, who addressed the club
on “Film Processing Tanks, Se
lection of Developer, and Prepara
tion for Development.”
The series of lectures now being
offered was made possible by in
crease in club membership brought
about by the new darkroom facil
ities. “Last year,” Harding ex
plained, “our darkroom in Foster
Hall offered very limited fac
ilities, and club membership was
correspondingly small. But after
installation of our new equipment
in the MSC, we got over 100 new
members at our first meeting this
fall.”
Friday, Lang will discuss and
demonstrate film developing in
tanks.

General ‘Ike 5
Being Pushed
For President
Washington, Oct. 17 — (/P)
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
once again has become a
presidential possibility for
1952 and the big threat to
all other would-be candidates, Re
publican or Democratic.
That is true despite the Gener
al's statement that h’e has not
changed his mind about staying out
of politics.
To Washington political experts
it is apparent that the plug Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
put in for Eisenhower as a 1952
Republican presidential candidate
has three important results:
• Whether he likes it or not,
General Ike definitely has been
shoved into the 1952 political pic
ture and will stay there unless and
until he takes himself out just as
definitely.
•' Dewey’s pledge to work for
the popular soldier-educator makes
it rough on any other Republicans
who may be hopefully eyeing the
White House. Dew r ey lost as the
GOP Presidential candidate in 1944
and 1948, but he still is head of the
Republican party and still has a
lot of influence in it
• President Truman now would
find it more difficult to pick Eisen
hower to command a proposed in
ternational army to defend West
ern Europe against Communism.
There has been much speculation
that the Columbia University pres
ident might be called back into un
iform for this assignment. But
if Mr. Truman sent Eisenhower to
Europe now he might lay himself
open to charges he was trying to
get out of the country the man who
might be his most dangerous pol-
tial nomination in 1952.
As a five-star general, Eisen
hower still is on the Army’s list of
active officers. Now (i0, the for
mer supreme commander of Allied
forces in Europe could be put on
duty at any time.
Eisenhower has said over and
over for more than two years that
he is not a candidate for public
office, that he is a man without
political connections or ambitions,
that he has a job to do at Columbia.
Ordinarily a person wouldn’t
have to repeat it every week to
convince people he meant what he
said. But Dewey’s support for
Eisenhower created an exceptional
situation.
Nobody of Dewey’s stature in
the Republican party had come
right out before and said he would
back the General for the Presiden
tial nomination in 1952.
Pennies Short—Mini Broke.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17—(TP)—Employes of the Philadel
phia mint are working overtime to meet a shortage of pen- '
nies and other coins.
Edwin H. Dressel, superintendent of the U. S. Coin Fac
tory, said yesterday the stepped-up operations have been go
ing on for the last two weeks and will continue indefinitely.
The demand for coins, especially pennies, “came up so
quickly,” Dressel said the mint wishes it had a much larger
work force than its appropriation permits. 1
“It’s a case of not having the money to make money,”
In Orono, Maine, a favorite gather
ing spot of students at the University
of Maine is the Snack Bar in Carne
gie Library because it is a cheerful^
place—full of friendly collegiate
atmosphere. And when the gang
gathers around, ice-cold Coca-Cola
gets the call. For here, as in college
haunts everywhere—Coke belongs.
Ask for it either way ... both
' trade-marks mean the same thing.
