If any of us knows anyone at SMU we are forgetting it for this week. Also UT, TCU, Rice and the rest, must take a rear perch. Here on the rolling’ plains we have already purchased tickets to the game and begun planning a Friday night dance to entertain Ag- LAST DAY BEN JOHNSON “WAGON MASTER” gies on our own campus. For those scheduling Corps Trip as a one-day affair, the college will serve bi’eak- fast before dawn Saturday and send the sorties to “Big D” in special busses. For you Ayjize bringing vehi cles to the weekend party, please watch out for Tessies. A recent campus survey pointed out that we are careless about observing step lights and will jaywalk at any given time and place. Freshmen scattered and tumbled Monday as a few seniors—come- lately intelligentsia—sprinted to the Dean's office to apply for Feb ruary diplomas. Come to think of it, that’s only two and a half months till they graduate. Such luck! They must have worn Confederate pennies in their shoes since first sighting the far end of dormitory row. This is also “Study for Your Mid-Term Final” Week. The girls are active studying and revising notes, making a first reading of the 583 pages of textbook assigned since the first week of school and LAST TIMES TODAY “Father Was A Fullback” SATURDAY GUtL REARS GORILLA JtSMflCUIBPm r-zriNa Bryan Z'SS79 TODAY thru SATURDAY rT- — Tk D 415S - FUR STO BAOEJ 4ATTERS art «r 4*1904 - „ .. |T ^ n Loti pot’s Trading Post—Agents TALK OF THE TOWN Where Everyone Meets To Enjoy Good Food at Popular Prim* Air Conditioned See the NEW 1951 Royal Portable Typewriters At The Bryan Business Machine Co.

It is the week of black coffee, as pirin and shaggy nerves. Since the onslaught of the norther last week Tessi has fought her way into the closet and tossed out winter clothing— rabbit-lined T shirts, rope-knitted sweaters and linoleum wind- breakers. We’ve tried to wear these garments since school started, but the heat wave was just too heavy. More trouble erupts from Stod dard’s elevator, a self-operating mechanism with personality. This personality consists of stopping be tween floors and refusing to budge. When two Stoddardites are trapped in the conveyance, the situation is quickly remedied since one can boost the other up to open the trap door. But if the load is singular, she can only press the emergency but ton to inform the office of her plight, then settle down to read her pocket edition of “Henrietta Stromgold, Girl Riot Squad.” Meanwhile, the office calls a repairman out to coax the ele vator from its pouting. As often as not, he sends to Dallas for more help. It’s a long wait while classmates stand on the lloor and harmonize on funeral dirges. Thought you’d like to know what impresses a freshman Tessie most on her first trip to an Aggie foot ball game. Freshmen returning from the A&M-Arkansas game agreed that they will remember longest the tra ditional kiss Aggies give their dates after each A&M touchdown. Score: A&M 42, Arkansas 14. Griffith to Coach Ag Wrestling Team A member of the 1948 Olympic wrestling squad from. Oklahoma A&M, James W. Griffith, will soon organize a wrestling squad at Texas A&M and urges all inter ested Aggies to join his group. Griffith was graduated in physi cal education from Oklahoma A&M in June of 1949.

All pets will be eligible to compete in the special tricks class, Loveless added. Is Fire Petition Justified? (Continued from Page 2) said, this figure is, in our estima tion a bare minimum. Each man would receive roughly $2,500 a year, amounting to a total expen diture for the city of $7,500. Housing Facilities Necessary Next on the list would be fac ilities- for quartering the firemen Health Group Donates $7,350 The US Public Health Service has notified the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station it will provide a research grant of $7,350' for con tinuation of a research project on nutritional requirements for em- byronic development and growth. The grant will cover the calendar year of 1951. Work on the project is under direction of Dr. J. R. Couch of the Biochemistry, Nutrition, and Poul try Husbandry Departments. According to Dr. R. D. Lewis, station director, a grant of simi lar amount was received from the Public Health Service for initiation of the research this year. Motheral Elected Board Member Joe R.

DeWerth, Head of the Depart ment of -Floriculture and Land scape Architecture.

We have no idea what the capacities of that building are for providing housing, so add the cost of constructing a place for the nien to stay. Need we say more? The tax payer will have to pay for these expenditures in increased taxes. Everyone likes to have the city provide them with up to date facil ities, but they sometimes forget that there is always the trouble- | some question of money. The most important obstacle to consider in employing a full time crew at the fire department is the possibility that the college, who owns all the equipment, may object i to the idea. Certainly the people who signed the petition don’t expect the City I of College Station to finance a j complete fire department of its ' own. It is great to have those thingfe, but the agriculturists at A&M have failed to find a way to grow money on trees—so far. The committee has our blessings for the work which they will take Upon, themselves in the morning. The job is certainly a big one if they can find a way to provide College Statu on with a more effi cient firt department than we al ready have and still not cause the tax-payer to moan and groan about increased taxes.

These are always tense moments in parent and child relations, because they involve a meeting of personalities in a situation which might easily serve to strengthen or weaken the parental tie. This is no occasion for parental anger, arrogance, or bluster. The situation calls for a sympathetic understanding, a calm appraisal, and good judg ment based on the moral and spiritual elements in human conduct. Parents need the wisdom of God and spiritual guidance in dealing with the behavior problems of their children. Mistakes made in these circum stances often lead to unfortunate results. The counsel of the Church and the inspiration of the Scriptures is offered to every parent who seeks divine guidance in meeting the responsibilities of parenthood.
