Better World Or
None, Millikan Says
Dr. Robert A. Millikan, dean of
American scientists and Nobel
prize winner, warned in a lecture
Friday night that unless a way
is found to put an end to world
( wars and their mass killings, the
human race may destroy itself.
‘‘The choice is now between a
better world or no world,” he as
serted.
The noted scientist who was one
of the pioneers of atomic physics
said the key to the well-being and
progress of the human race rests
on two pillars: the spirit of reli
gion and conscience, and the spirit
Dr. Harrington,
Spence Visit
New Division
President of the College M.
. T. Harrington and T. R.
Spence, superintendent of the
physical plant, have recently
returned from a trip to Junc
tion, where they took stock of the
progress being made on the new
adjunct to the college.
They spent Tuesday and Wednes
day looking over the $250,000
building program which is still
in the construction phase. When
completed this addition to the Col
lege will include an Administration
Building, classrooms, mess hall,
and 20 housing units which will
accomodate 12 boys each.
The purpose of this expenditure
is to offer refresher courses in
college work for students and also
courses for students contemplating
. enrollment at Texas A&M. Two of
the courses that will be offered
will be summer geology field work
and practice in surveying. Class
es will be held only in the sum-
* mer.
Pres. Harrington said that con
struction should be completed by
the first of the year.
The new adjunct is being built
* on 411 acres of land along the
south bank of the Llano River in
Kimbel County.
* It is located approximately 240
miles from College Station.
of science, or knowledge.
“The world conscience, which im
plies a sense of personal respon
sibility,” Dr. Millikan pointed out,
“is very closely identified with
what I mean by the spirit of relig
ion.”
Defining religion as “world loy
alty,” he expressed the belief that
the scientist is “fundamentally
wrong” in his inclination to under
rate the importance of spreading
the spirit of world loyalty.
“The religious leader, on the
other hand, is prone to say that
the world would be a perfect world
if the hearts of men were right.
But he is wrong too.”
As an example, he cited the
“worldwide disasters, probably in
volving more deaths even than
World War II, which have followed
from the preaching by sincer-e and
well-meaning but misguided and
bad-thinking fanatics of the Marx-
Lenin class war—the most horri
ble type of war ever started.
“Good hearts coupled with bad
heads are quite as destructive of
social well-being as are good heads
coupled with bad hearts.”
Thus, he emphasized, “it is these
continously growing cores of know
ledge, coupled with the attitude of
world loyalty—the combination of
science and religion—that provides
the sole basis for rational, intelli
gent living.
“In spite of man’s frailties, this
attitude and these cores are slow
ly guiding us forward, so that we
have actually in the United States
attained within 100 years—-and pri
marily because of science and its
applications—a higher standard of
living for the common man than
has existed in any time or place in
history.”
Correction
Through error, The Battalion
announced Friday that the Col
lege Station Officer’s Wives As
sociation had extended an invi
tation to all reserve officers’
wives to attend their monthly
luncheon Thursday.
Instead of “wives of officers
in the active reserves,” the story
should have read: “wives of of
ficers on regular duty and wives
of reserve officers now on active
duty ”
Child Plug-Puller Saves Life
Atlanta—GP)—Four-year-old Alton Lyon’s mother told
him to “watch your daddy” while she went out. Alton did
and his daddy is alive because of it.
The boy’s father, J. T. Lyon, had suffered three recent
heart attacks.
While Mrs. Lyon was taking Alton’s five-year-old broth
er to kindergarten, Lyon had another attack Friday while
taking a bath.
“I couldn’t wake him up and he was going under the
water,” Alton said, “so I pulled the plug and the water went
away.”
“I guess I remembered how Mommy lets the water out
of the tub when it gets too deep^or me.”
Community Supper Set,
More Tickets Available
Over 1000 people are expected to
be on band for the annual College
Station Community Supper tomoi--
row night, as activities get under
way on Patranella Slab at Consoli
dated High School at 7:30 p.m.
Four lines for serving the meal
will be set up, according to Mrs.
Joe Motheral and Mrs. Marion
Pugh, co-chairmen for the supper.
Last year’s affair provided only
two lines which resulted in much
congestion and wasted time, the
co-chairmen said.
Annual Affair
The supper has become an an
nual affair, sponsored by the Moth
er and Dad’s Club of Consolidated
High School for raising funds to
buy equipment and supplies for the
schools of College Station which
are not always available through
school tax money.
Playground equipment, phono
graph machines, and many other
things which benefit the schools
and the children’s education have
been purchased through money
resulting from the community sup
per, according to F. R. Brison,
president of the Mother and Dad’s
Club.
The Foods Committee has prom
ised a hearty menu for the eve
ning, featuring such things as
chicken, spaghetti, etc.
Tables will be provided at the
supper for service, but Brison sug
gests that some families may want
to bring card tables for their own
convenience.
Tickets
Tickets are being sold for 85
cents to adults and 65 cents to stu
dents through the fifth grade.

Other subjects considered at the
meeting included an all-conference
yell, a pre-game prayer, the sing
ing of “The Star Spangled Ban
ner,” tickets to the Cotton Bowl
»game, and sportsmanship sub-cOm-
mittees within the conference
schools.
Ballots naming selections for
winner of this years award are

Hamilton of TCU by Dec. 10. The
ballots will be distributed Dec. 1.
In choosing this year’s top
sportsmanship school, the actions
of the school since the beginning
' of the present calendar year will
be considered. Previously, the
awaul was considered for the pe
riod of the school year.
Seven Votes
As in past years seven votes
will be allotted each school. The
yell leaders as a group, the campus
newspaper editors, the dean of stu
dents, the athletic director, and the I
executive secretary or president of ;
the former students association I
each have a single vote. The stu- !
dent governing body of each school
has two votes.
Five votes will be cast by the
executive secretary of the confer
ence. Fourteen officials designated
by the executive secretary will also
cast a vote each. Two from each
school will be chosen.
Under the new voting set-up, two

marked next spring.
Ibis year, the trophy will be
presented before the opening kick

Prayer Before Game
As an outgrowth of Friday’s
meeting, a prayer will be said pre
ceding each conference game. The
committee adopted the plan on a
confer ence-wide basis after hearing
Head Yell Leader Don Joseph tell
how it was being employed at
A&M.
Another proposal, this one for
an all-conference yell, was tabled
following a discussion by Joseph
and Marc Moore, SMU head yell
leader. The proposed yell would
be given by the entire representa
tion of both schools at all confer
ence games and by conference

Miss Pat Young, pretty Bryan
High School student, was named
Sweetheart of the Seventh Regi
ment at the Regimental Ball in
the Blue Room of the Memorial
Student Center, Friday night. The
brown haired beauty was escorted
by Henry Josey, also from Bryan.
The Seventh Regimental Ball
was the first event on A&M’s 1950-
51 social calendar and the first
organizational dance to be held in
the MSC, a spokesman for the
Seventh Regiment said.
Miss Young was chosen with
two other girls from the dance
floor by the Seventh Regimental
judging committee. Runners-up
were, Mrs. Mel Moncrief, MSC em
ployee and wife of a Seventh Regi
ment staff officer, and Miss Su
sanna Landers, TCU campus beau
ty, who was escorted by Bill Moss,
a Seventh Regiment battalion com
mander from Bryan.
A set of rhinestone evening jew
elry, a large orchid, and a regimen
tal kiss went to Miss Young, and
large orchids were presented to
each of . the runners-up..
Music was furnished by the able
Bill Turner and his Aggieland
Orchestra, appearing for the first
time in new blue suits. Their ren
ditions of popular music were high
ly complimented by everyone, in
cluding the several TCU students
who came down early.
Good weather made use of the
Starlight Terrace possible and
while there was a large crowd, the
overflow was handled nicely. Re
freshments were served on the Ter
race. One enthusiastic senior com
mented, “Dancing on the Terrace
was—wonderful!”
Visitors at the Ball included
Colonel H. L. Boatner, Command
ant of the Corps, and Colonel E.
W. Napier, PAS&T.
The dance closed at 11:30 p. m.
when everyone sang the “Aggie
War Hymn.” The crowd immed
iately moved to the Grove for mid
night Yell Pi’actice.
Saturday night, Sbisa was jam

at All College Dance. Again the
Aggieland Orchestra turned in a
very complimentary performance.
Hats worn by the TCU freshman
girls were spotted throughout the
audience. Stags were present in
large numbers from both TCU and
A&M'.
TCU students were well pleased
with their reception on the A&M
campus.
“The TCU students expressed
their appreciation to A&M’s stu
dent body for the warm welcome
they received and the well planned
program that awaited them,” Doyle
first conference victory since 1947, when Stan Hollmig’s
punting kept the Bears deep in their own territory for an
easy 24-0 win. Adding to that, it was the first time the
Cadets had amassed over 40 points in a conference game
since the 41 to 6 rout of Arkansas in 1942.
Led by the power running of Bruisin’ Bob Smith, the
shifty hips of Bouncin’ Bill Tidwell, the elusiveness of Gal
lopin’ Glenn Lippman, and the passing combination of Dandy
Dick Gardemal to Jumbo Andy Hillhouse, the Cadets re
turned from their halftime intermission to change a Frog
dominated first half to a free-scoring Aggie conquest.

Bruisin’ Bob, who seemed to have
fingers of putty in the first half
i when he couldn’t retain the fall
after the handoff, exhibited fin
gers of glue and legs of steel in
the second and third periods. He
smashed and crashed his way
through the Frog forward wall 24
times for a total of 146 yards to
bring his five game total rushing
to 593. Climaxing a day of bril
liant running, Smith tore through
a gaping hole in the Frog wall and
outran their secondary for 38
yards and the fifth Cadet entry
into touchdown land.
Griffin, acting chairman of the
welcoming committee which visited
Fort Worth earlier n the week, re
ported. “They were exceedingly
well pleased with the music of the
Aggieland Orchestra,” Griffin add
ed.
Their only regret was that they
had to leave the dance early to
catch the special train which re
turned to Fort Worth at midnight,
Saturday night, he concluded.
Proposed Off Limits
Areas Designated
Proposals concerning areas of the
campus, w'hich should not be walk
ed on to pre'serve the grass, were
released today by the campus beau
tification committee of the Senior
Class, Robert L. Sturdivant, com
mittee chairman, said yesterday.
The report came as a result of
a Senior Class resolution passed
Sept. 25. It read: resolved that it
shall be a Senior privilege to walk
on the grass in certain areas of
the campus, punishable by demer
its, with the stipulation that Sen
iors shall not exercise their pero-
gative.
The resolution had not yet been
submitted to the commandant’s of
fice when it was contacted by a
Battalion reporter yesterday. Ap
proval of that office is necessary
to make violation of the proposed
grass regulations a punishable of
fense.
Cooperation Desired
The Class of ’51 proposes that all
students cooperate with them in
trying to beautify the campus.
They are attempting the effort in
cooperation with a re-seeding pro
gram planned by the Landscape
Art Department.
Areas in which the Senior Class

in the rout that ensued during the
second half.
Dutch Meyer’s Frogs knew what
elusiveness was when they tried
to quell the running attack of Gal

task, as the fleet little halfback

tacklers.
Gardemal—Great
It is highly conceivable that the
abrupt change of pace shown by
the Cadets at the opening of sec
ond half can be credited to thu
field engineering of Gardemal. It
