'Slightly Distorted Skits’
A slightly distorted idea - con
eerning the activities of geology
students on their annual six-week
summer field camp, will be pre
sented by the senior geology stu
dents at a special meeting of the
Geology Club, today at 7:30
p. m. in the Petroleum lecture
room.
This camp is held each summer
in the more colorful parts of Cen
tral and West Texas for A&M’s
geology majors.
The seniors will give their ver
sion of this six-weeks experience
of last summer, by means of hum
orous skits and songs, accompanied
by a number of color slides. This
is principally for the benefit of
the underclassmen.
Master of Ceremonies will be
Tom Morris, with part of the nar
ration being done by Joe Nickols.
Color slides were made by the stu
dents themselves while at camp
last summer.
Pour original songs will be in
troduced, “Some Enchanted Moun
tain,” “Bunger, Bunger, Hunger,”
“Oh What a Beautiful Bressia,”
and Rattlesnake,” all of which il
lustrate some phase of the camp.
Merl Bauman will accompany the
choir with his guitar.
Three skits are scheduled,
“S t r u ct u r e Misinterpretation,”
“Planetable,” and “Grading,” each
a scene at camp involving activ
ities of the professors and stu-
Cast as professors in the skits
are Johnny Davis, Allen Eubank,
Ted Pitzer, Cliff Hodges, Skip
Mills,, and A1 Bestiero, while Mike
Montes, Lewis Rodgers, Cotton
Johnson, Wilber Galloway, and
Sparky Sparks will play the parts
of the students.
The senior club members urge
all underclassmen to be present.
Refreshments will be served.

DeMolay Chapter
To he Organized
The Sul Ross Masonic lodge is
completing plans for the forma
tion of a Demolay chapter for the
Bryan-College Station area said
W. Er Wright, chapter advisor.
The lodge has formed a com
mittee composed of Joe Woolket,
chairman; Joe Sorrell, Dr. S. R.
Wright, Ray Oden, Harry Boyer,
and Ed Madeloy to be the sponsors
of the organization.
“It is necessary for the initial
DeMolay class to be composed of
at least 25 hoys between the ages
of 11 and 21 said Wright. “The
purpose of the DeMolay is to keep
good boys good by keeping them
wRh^good boys,” Wright added.
Membership is not restricted to
relatives of Masons and any Mason
may sponsor a boy for the begin
ning class. Boys who desire to ap
ply for membership are requested
to contact any member of the com-
mittee.
Lakey Will Speak
To Women’s Croup
Director of the Bureau of Food
and Drugs of the Texas State
Health. Department J. F. Lakey
was the 'speaker for the Decem
ber meeting of the American As
sociation of University Women.
Lakey spoke to the members at
the Woman’s Club Building in
Bryan. His topic concerned the
proposed revisions of the exist
ing state food and drag laws which
haven’t been altered since 1911.
The revision of these laws is a
part of the legislature program
of the Texas division of the
AAUW for this year.
Lakey is at present a member
of the American Public Health As
sociation, the Texas Pharmaceuti
cal Association, and is president
of the Association of Food and
Drag Officials of the Southern
States.

on the stage of Guion Hall.
No kidding, he is actually

the power of concentration that
enables you to read a persons
mind then you may suceed.
Dr. Polgar uses an assistant
in the accomplishment of this un
usual feat. The aide sits in the
automobile with him and gives
him mental directions and Pol
gar transmits these directions into
proper stops, starts and turns.
Recent issues of Saturday Even

current issue of Look list some of
the “impossible” feats of mem

In Detroit, he dared the man

was performing to hide his

the crowd of 2,000 persons that
he would find it or go unpaid.

For Former
CS Resident
A former College Station resi
dent, Miss Mary Ann Munnerlyn,
was married Wednesday evening
to Robert Gordon Anderson of
Houston at the St. John the Divine
Church of Houston.
Tlie bride’s parents are Mr. and
Mrs. William Ford Munnerlyn of
3035 Lock Lane, Houston, and the
bride-groom's parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Robert C. Anderson of llous-
ton.
The ceremony was read by the
Rev. Thomas W. Sumner, follow
ing the singing of “The Lord’s
Prayer.”
Upon the return from their
honeymoon trip to New Orleans
they will live at 2245 Welch Street
in Houston.
The bride is a graduate of the
University of Texas with a major
in radio broadcasting.
She was a member of the Zeta
Tan Alpha sorority.
The bride-groom, also a T. U.
graduate, was a member of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity.

short period of four minutes, he
found the check, much to the be
wilderment of everyone attending.
Dr. Polgar, native of Enying,
Hungary, has been lecturing in
this country since 1933. He an
nually speaks to about 60 college
groups and 200 education groups
and forums.
While he was serving with the
Hungarian army, he was entombed
for three days under a maze of
rocks and- dirt.
This experience caused the loss,
of his memory for six months and
it was after this period that Pol
gar realized that he was able to
read minds, lie called it the law
of compensation.
He explained that being un
able to hear or talk and with
out a memory, he assumed that
a new sense was given him to
compensate for his misfortune.
He became the talk of the hospi
tal he was in and before long the
talk of all Europe. Upon arrival
in the United States, Polgar took
a job as a waiter and amazed the
patrons with his ability to fill or
ders without their saying a word.
He read their minds and filled
their order without missing any
thing.

tinue its campaign for legislation
in congress confirming state own

“While I still believe the Su
preme Court was wrong in its four
to three opinion against Texas on
ownership, I am thankful that it
went against the federal govern
ment on its demand that Texas ac
count for over eight billion dol
lars collected for our public school

June 5, 1950.” Attorney General
Daniel said.
The court rejected new petitions
by Texas and Louisiana asking for
reconsideration. Similar requests
were denied Oct. 16. In rejecting
the final plea, the Supreme Court
noted Texas had been a day late in
filing its motion.
Federal rights begin at ordinary
low water mark and extend sea
ward to the contintal shelf off Tex
as, the decree held.
Several unanswered questions
are left the court’s final ruling.
One was, what effect it would have
on proration of the three Texas
tidelands wells now producing, and
on future producers?
Another was the effect it may
have on recent Texas legislation
extending borders of coastal coun
ties to the continental shelf.
