Freshmen Sweat Out Slide Rule Competition Sixty eager freshmen began fev erishly working on the fifty min ute slide rule contest at 4 p. m. in room 303 of the Mechanical En gineering Building yesterday. Although the afternoon was cool, perspiration dotted the brows of the “fish” as slipsticks slid and blood pressures rose. For here in one room was as sembled the “brains” of the Fresh men engineering students to com pete in the top contest of the fish year. The competition in this contest is rough, because only the top ten percent of ME 101 students, chosen by their instructors as the best contestants, are eligible to enter. The problems included on the quiz were similar to the problems on Quiz A in ME 101, the type that leaves all but the brilliant muttering about extensions to the left, square roots, cubes, and deci mal points. The principal contest is between students registered in ME 101 who have had no prior college work. Separate awards are provided for those who compete in the contest but who are ineligible for the prin cipal contest because they have had prior college work. A small plaque which bears on its back side a commendation from the head of the department in which each student is registered will be presented to all contestants. Winners of the first prize and second prize will not only receive large plaques but will also receive special prizes. These special prizes in the past have been slide rules gave tips on painting to the MSC Gallery Committee at 7:30 p.m. in the Assembly Room of the Center. The painter from Brownwood brought three of his latest paint ings to the meeting and explained his work techniques. Browning also spoke on trends ! of art and modern art works. The ! artist ,expressed the opinion there is some good and worthwhile value in the modernistic type of works. The Central Texan continued that he believed that the part of modern art built upon fundamen tals will stand, while the part with no basis will fade away and even now shows a tendency to do that. After giving the group sugges tions for experiments, Browning- told them to get the fundamental background for painting and to then branch out into Whatever they desired. After the session in the Assem bly room the committee adjourned to the Crafts shop where the Brownwood artist demonstrated works in ceramics. In addition to the first and sec ond prizes, a first and second prize Deadline Set For Invitation Orders Orders for January graduation announcements must be placed be fore Dec. 9, Grady Elms, assistant manager of Student Activities, has announced.

For these ineligible for the regu lar contest, first, second, and third prizes will be awarded.

Expenditures of $3,935 were ap proved by the Student l ife Com mittee yesterday for purchase of Dormitory athletic equipment, Guion Hall fireproof projection equipment, soccer team uniforms, and a piano for Cashion’s Cabin. Other items on the Life Commit tee agenda were a report by King Egger, who last summer took the summer European Tour sponsored by that group; a report on enter tainment other than Town Hall at tractions to be signed for appear ances here, and preliminary consid- eration was given proposed changes to the Activities point system ad ministered by the Committee. Largest Item Largest item approved was $2,1)10 for Dormitory athletic equipment requested by the Intra mural Athletics Department. Five- hundred dollars was passed for purchase of safety rewind and fire proof film storage for Guion Hall. An expenditure of $500 for ad ditional gates and sidewalks at the Grove was approved. Presently, temporary gates have been cut in the fence to facilitate the large yell practice group. A request by the A&M Soccer Team for $175 with which to buy uniforms was okayed after some discussion. The Committee has not, in the past, appropriated mon ey for such teams, but it was point ed out that the soccer team was composed of foreign students who did not participate in the intramu ral atheltic program sponsored by the college. Piano for Cashion’s Cabin On a request by King Egger, president of the YMCA Cabinet, the Committee approved $150 for purchase of a second-hand piano for use at Cashion’s Cabin. Several other requests for mon ey were tabled until the Life Com mittee receives further Exchange Stare profits for disbursal. Among these were requests for a new con cert Grand piano for the music ac tivities department; drinking foun tains, tee shelters, and shrubbery for the new Golf Course, and picnic facilities for the Grove. European Trip Report King Egger’s report on his Eu ropean trip was first on the Life Committee agenda. His report was aimed at giving Committee members some insight into the value of the European tour so that they might vote later in the year on whether it should be continued. Egger stressed particularly the need for American visitors to Eu rope who wanted to give the people some knowledge of the American way of life. He said that the European’s im pression of Americans was based primarily on tourists who went there to do nothing more than have a good time. As a result, he said, these people think that we are a selfish, carefree people who are unconcerned with Europe’s prob lems. Better Informed They (European students) are much better informed than Ameri can students on all phases of poli tics, Egger said. They are aware of American aid, but are much more impressed by sympathetic American actions than by Ameri can money, he explained. Reporting on plans for student entertainment, C. G. “Spike” White presented a list of eight possible groups or individuals approved by the Social and Entertainment com mittee for shows here. Included in the list were the TSCW Modern Dance Team; Gwynne, The Magician, and The Bauer Sisters (Golf Professionals). These groups already have been signed to appear at A&M, White said. Other Entertainers Other possible entertainers were The Golden Gate Quartet, Jo Staf ford, Grand Old Opry, TSCW Choir, Texas Girls Glee Club, and an opera group from NTSC. Letters have been mailed to these groups checking on possible show dates and costs, White said. Proopsed changes to the present activity point system were submit ted by a committee appointed to investigate inadequacies of the present point values. Copies of the proopsed changes are to be provided Life Committee men for consideration before the next meeting, Dr. Ralph Steen, chairman of the Student Life Com mittee, said. Dance Class Fees Payable in MSC Fees for dancing classes may be paid anytime after Tuesday at 5 p. m. in the Front Office of the MSC, Miss Betty Bolander, assistant social director said this morning. Dance class members should try to pick up receipts before time for dancing lessons, Miss Bolander con tinued. ilil Barlow (Bones) Irvin UN Assembly Rejects Red’s Peace Program New York, Nov. 21—(AP) —The United Nations Assem bly yesterday rejected Rus sia’s terms for cooperating in the development of Secretary- General Trygve Lie’s 20-year peace program. Instead, it adopted a nine-power resolution calling for the appropriate U. N. bodies to work on various phases of Lie’s plan. The backbone of the Secretary- General’s 10-point plan was a ser ies of high-level security council meetings at which top officials would tackle the U. N.’s outstand ing problems. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky had countered with a series of conditions, including the participation of Red China in the council meetings and the ab solute prohibition of the atomic bomb. The U. S. charged this was an attempt to barter peace. The 60-nation assembly beat down each section of the Soviet resolution in a paragraph-by-para graph vote. The Lie program was elaborated by the secretary-general last spring and presented to him by President Truman, Prime Minister Attlee and Prime Minister Stalin. 'Don 7 Walk Here * Signs Posted . . .

President M. T. Harrington said at noon today that ne gotiations for the game are still in progress. If approved, all that remains is signing of the contract by Athletic Directof Barlow Irvin. Irvin is in Maryland today making necessary arrangements for possible final approval of the game. Among the terms of the contract is an advance of $10,000 for expenses and a guarantee of 40 per cent of the gate. The game will be played in a stadium which seats 50,000 for the benefit of the American Legion Welfare Fund. Upon hearing of the invitation to the game, the Cadet V -fteam was very enthusiastic over the offer. The Aggies’ opponent in the game will probably be Mary land. Although Maryland’s Head Foot ball Coach Jim Tatum said, “We haven’t been issued a formal in vitation to play in the game,” he did say that he had heard of plans being made to invite the Maryland eleven. A&M’s Head Football Coach Harry Stiteler said yesterday, as far as he knew, the game w r as still being investigated as a possibil ity. The entile Aggie team was in favor of che game with Maryland in the President’s Cup. The Cadets’ top quarterback Dick Gardemal said, “It’s the best thing that has happened since the invention of the wheel. This offer to play in Col lege Park has helped the team’s morale a hundred per cent. TIJ Game First “But we still have another thing that is No. 1 on our agenda. That’s to beat Texas U” Gardemal con cluded. The Maryland Terrapins have won six games while losing two and tying one game so far this season. Their season record includes Engineers Plan Honor Review For Blakelock A funeral wreath will be the sole occupant of the re viewing stand Wednesday when the Engineer Battalion passes in review in honor of Lt. David R. Blakelock, class of ’50, who was killed in action in Korea Oct. 19. After the parade the battalion will march to the flag pole in front of the Academic Building, come to present arms, and a wreath will be placed at the base of the flag pole. This is one of the few times that an Aggie has been honored pos thumously by a parade. Blakelock was a former Cadet Captain* on the Engineer Battalion staff and a member of B Engineers. In January, 1950, he was graduated with a degree; in Civil Engineering. While in the Army he received the Bronze Star for gallantry in | wins over Navy, 35-21; Michigan State, 34-7; Georgetown, 25-14; Duke, 26-14; George Washington, 123-7; and West Virginia, 41-0. Their two losses were to Georgia, I 7-27; and North Carolina State, 16- ; 13, while they tied North Carolina, i 7*7. Equal Victories A&M has the same number of victories as the Terrapins, but have acquired three losses — Oklahoma, 28-34; Baylor, 20-27,' and Rice 13- 21. But at the same time the Cadets have downed Nevada, 48-18; Texas Tech, 34-13; Virginia Military, 52- action.

If the cam paign is successful, grass re-seeding will be done in these areas. as soon as weather conditions are favorable, Sturdivant said. Other Areas Other areas planned in the cam paign are in the “new area” and in the Administration Building sec tion of the campus. Boundaries of these sections will be designated in maps in tomorrow’s and Thurs day’s Battalions. Cooperation of both civilian and Cadet Corps seniors has been ob tained in planning and implement ing the campaign, Sturdivant said. Kenneth Rickenbrode, civilian elec trical engineering major of Mitch ell Hall, and Bill Smith, civilian ag engineering major of Mitchell, were named by Senior Class Civil ian-president, Bob Allen to work on the committee. Corps Representatives Representing the Cadet Corps on the committee besides Sturdivant are Milton Patterson, senior arch itecture major of Dorm. 9, and Brad McAllister, senior architec ture major of Dorm 3. This afternoon at three the com mittee meets with President M. T. Harrington to ask his assistance in informing the college staff of the beautification and asking their co operation. A schedule of dining hall an nouncements is also planned this week in an effort to contact every student and ask his cooperation. Signs put up this morning were financed by the Student Activities Department and built by the beau tification committee.

Tommy Redman merely unsluhf the thermos jug of tea that he had been' toting around all after noon, grumbling something about “not being able to make it back to TU.” In all seriousness, however, the Texas delegation was doing a swell job to improve the usually-strained relations between the two great rivals.
