Harrington says, “The construc tion is nearly completed, and the grounds should he in good shape for its opening in June.” Recreation was not the prime motive of the Board of Directors for wanting this “Resort.” During the past ten years, some 4,000 freshmen left A&M because of scholastic difficulties. It is estimated at least half of this number left because they found themselves in the wrong course or else found they were purpose, the Board thought. Only one mile from the center of Junction, the summer camp will be used for helping adjust freshmen and for an engineer ing' summer camp.

Mrs. Ralph Terry, art instructor for the Memorial Student Center Gallery Committee, was guest speaker, using “Art at Aggieland” as her topic. Mrs. Terry explained the history of the Gallery Committee briefly and told some of the activities which the group was undertaking. She went on to explain some of the fundamentals of art to the group by use of pencil sketchings. Chairman Dick Hervey of the Entertainment and Recreation Committee announced that the club’s annual Christmas party had been tentatively set for Monday World War II hero and member of the President of the Supreme Sov iet (parliament), asserted from atop Lenin’s tomb that . western “imperialists” are preparing for a new war. War Asserted “The Anglo-American imperial ists have now passed from prepara tions for aggression to direct acts of aggression, evidence of which is the bandit intervention of the United States of Korea,” he said. “The Soviet people , together with other freedom-loving peoples of the world, brand the American aggressors with shame and express their sympathy with the Korean people who are conducting a heroic struggle for the freedom and in dependence of their motherland.” Similar expressions came in or ders of the day to the Army and Navy, issued by Marshal A. M. Vassilevsky, Army Minister, and Adm. I. S. Yumashev, naval minis ter. Stalin Unmentioned (Prime Minister Stalin was not mentioned in this dispatch. Presum ably he is taking a fall vacation.) “The American and British im perialists are pursuing the policy of instigating a new world war,” Yumashev said. “From the threat of war they have gone over to open aggression in Korea. “Under these conditions, it is the sacred duty of naval forces constantly to increase the vigi lance and combat readiness of ships and naval units.” Yassilevsky’s order prefaced like phrases with the declaration “the Soviet people and their army are vigilantly following the machin ations of the enemies of peace and continually remember the danger of war.” While the Russian press has charged before that the United States government intends to un leash a new war on the world, it has never been said quite so auth oritatively or quite so repeatedly.

Since the plans called for an expenditure of .more than that amount, new ones had to be drawn up. The successful bidder on the re vised plans was Robert L. Guyler of Crystal City, Texas. His con struction has progressed according to schedule, and it is due to be completed in January ’51. Included in the Physical Plant will be a combination administra tion and class room building, mess hall, latrine and twenty tent frames and floors.

Statistics — (Continued from Page 5) Arkansas game and now shows a seasonal average of 38.9 for 38 boots. Lary appears again in the punt returning division with an aver age of 18.6 yards for the seven times that he has attempted the runback. A&M’s Andy Hillhouse is in the No. 4 spot among the leading pass receivers having garnered 283 yards in the 14 aerials that he has snagged. Five of these tosses have carried across the double stripe. Baylor End Harold Riley leads the SWC in this column with 396 yards for 25 catches and two scores. His total ranks him 12th among the nation’s top pass re ceivers. Aggies Dominate Scoring A&M’s Smith leads another sta tistical department—scoring—with Smith and Rote — Continued from Page 4) smashed the Mustangs title hopes and national rankings . . ” From the Waco Herald Tribune: “ . . ..He (Smith) shed enemy tack- lers like a duck’s back resists water, and only sheer weights of numbers finally halted him ... . ” This Saturday, both Smith and Rote will be ready. Smith will probably hold the edge with his powerful running but Rote’s versi- tality will not leave him out of the public’s eye. To the majority of the out of staters, Rote is an All-American through and through, but no one can deny Bruisin’ Bob and the records which he has set this year in scoring and running. And no matter what happens Saturday, you can be sure that both will remember the first time that they met. ington (20-21). Comparative scores show the Bears 20 points better on the Oregon State game and 20 bet ter against Washington, but then in the Oregon fray UCLA gets the nod by 7. It all boils down to the fact that this will be a mighty good game, and if the Uclansulo win—and they can—it would not be upset, al though they are the underdogs. From here we like The Golden Bears by one touchdown or possibly two. Completing the section: Montana over Nevada in an itial meeting; Idaho State to beat Montana State in a close one; Oregon State over Idaho; Stanford to wallop Washing ton State and Washington’s McEl- hanny and Hendrick to run wild at Oregon. There it' is for this week, Nat urally we would like to see these predictions come true, but if the Aggies beat SMU—and we know they will—every one of these could be wrong and not one tear would be shed. Beat SMU Chest Campaign Progress Noted By Chairman “The 1950 Community Chest drive is progressing as i smoothly as expected,” H. G. : Johnson, Chairman of the ! campaign, said today, j “As yet we have not tabulated ■ the amount turned in already be cause al! the solicitors have not turned in their initial contribu tions. I feel save that our goal of $11,000 will be surpassed,” the j chairman said. There will be no door-to-door sol icitations, however, local residents \ and business men will be contacted either by mail or phone telling them where they may turn in their contributions, he said. Chest con tribution material was turned over to departmental heads who in turn distributed it among their instruct ors. “I am proud of the work already done by the members of the staff and I’m sure they will continue to do the same fine work throughout the remainder of the campaio:n.” This years campaign ends Nov. 15. “We feel that it is still the responsibility of the community to see that the drive goes over the top of the goal because the com munity is the one that receives the benefits of the Community Chest,” Johnson said. “The 1950 Red Feather goal ex ceeds last year’s goal by some $900. Johnson urges everyone in the Col lege Station area to contribute gen erously to the organization that gives aid to twelve agencies in the College Station area. Coryell Clubbers Parly, Escort Croup Plans were discussed for a Christmas party at a meeting of the Coryell County Club last Thurs day night, Ross Vandiver vice- president of the club said.
