Battalion Conducts Survey
To Find Typical Aggie Wife
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
Battalion Women’s Editor
The typical Aggie wife! What is
she like and where did she come
from? How long has she been mar
ried? How long has she been “in
school” here? How long does she
plan to stay?
Ask any Aggie wife and you
probably will get a different ans
wer to these questions.
In appearance, the Aggie wife
is pretty. She may be blonde like
Margaret Green of Vet Village,
brunette like Jean Robbins, or a
red head, like Lane Hancock of
College View, but chances are she
is the girl her husband carried
around in his billfold as his
“dream” girl before she ever be
came his wife.
She may be tall like statusque
Wilma Drisdale, who stands G ft.
and makes a stinking partner for
her 6-i'oot, 4 inch husband, oJhn, or
she may be tiny, like Betty Drake,
who has to “stretch tall’ to be five
feet.
The typical Aggie wife is as
“untypical” as women get to be.
She came to Aggieland from
Texas, like Shirley Brunson, of
Houston, or from Arizona, like
Glenda Fuller, or from Idaho like
Jean Thomas and Juanita Ken
ney. Or she may have come from
Germany like Anne Magourik
and Irma Maybean, from Eng
land like Margaret Oakes, or
from Canada like Mary Houston.
The Aggie wife likes to cook—
anything from roast beef to cream
puffs. Her specialties in College
are meat loaf, potato salad and
red beans, or just anything of that
sort that will stretch the budget
as far as possible.
She hates to keep house. Only
one girl in five says she really en
joys housekeeping, and most of
them hope that when hubby gets
going in his career they^ can count
on a little help in that deuhrtment.
She loves children. Aggie couples
have an average of one child per
family, but if the wives have their
way, there’ll be lots more. The girls
want an average of 3.6 children per
family. Some of them want as
many as twelve, the greater per
centage said four, and not one
Aggie wife indicated that she
wasn’t in the market to become a
mother. Glenda and Gerald Fuller
are having so much fun with their

four, Gerry, Gilbert, Barbara Ann
and, Glen that they would like six
or eight more.
Where did the Texas Aggie
meet his wife? For the most part
he knew her when she was in
pigtails, or met her just about
the time his voice started, chang
ing, or was her idol on the high
school football team.
But a few had intriguing intro
ductions. Evelyn Holman met Don
on Guam at the Northwest Air
Base; Maxine and J. D. Carroll
first noted each other while he
was an Army recruiter in Cali
fornia and she was working for
Selective Service; Sue and Royce
Lewis became acquainted in Pan
ama. Elsie and Bill Pierce have
known each other since childhood,
but the meeting took place in the
West Indies.
Gloria McNaughton took the
“Greyhound Bus” to heart, met
Mac on a bus in 3944. Virgie and
Gene Sellars are a living example
that blind dates sometimes have
happy endings; their date occurred
in January 1948, and their wed
ding in August, 1950.
A few Aggie couples have beeni
married longer than, ten years;
the average length of marriage
is a bit less than a year, for
every day newly married couples
“lower the average” for number
of years in double harness. The
youngest bride on our records
from the standpoint of age is
17-year-old Terry Bailey who
quit high school at 16 to marry
Gil and who has been an Aggie
bride 17 months.
The Aggies wife has been a
pretty busy girl. Before, and in a
few cases after, her marriage she
spent in school or in some phase
of specialized training. The Aggie
wife has had an average of over
two years in college or professional
training. Her list of activities is
a long one, for she was as active
in her studies and clubs as the
Texas Aggie she married.
She has worked at many jobs be
fore she became a housewife. She
has been a secretary like Grace
Coslett of Chicago, or a laboratory
technician like Charline Johnson of
Stephenville, or a nurse like Myrtle
Schick of Millsap, or a school
teacher like Gloria Doran of Lam-

northeast and Chon is three miles

There was no indication that the
Western force was planning to go
all the way to Seoul. Three Red
armies lay in its path. AP corres
pondent Don Huth said the Chinese
40th, 38th and 50th Armies—at
full strength about 120,000 troops
—were massed south of the Han
River near Seoul.
American airmen spotted 5,000
Red troops concentrated southeast
of Seoul. They claimed 1,600 were
killed in bombing and strafing at
tacks.
The Allied warplanes resumed
their attacks Tuesday and said the
toll of enemy dead was boosted to
nearly 2,000.
Hit Dumps
They hit supply dumps, railroads,
vehicles and buildings occupied by
Red troops. The planes knocked
out a Red tank and field piece near
Seoul.
AP correspondent William C.
Barnard reported from the central
front that the withdrawal from the
Wonju area began Monday morn

man, clerk, beautician, cashier,
bookkeeper, musician, among other
things.
If you gave her free rein with
money and day of time, most
Aggie wives would “Go On A
Shopping Spree!” They spell is
with capitals and they indicate
that it would be endless fun to
be able to hang lots of pretty
clothes in their closet and have
somewhere to wear them.
A few girls would furnish a
house, several would like to go to
New York to see a good play, some
would go as far as they day and
the money would take them. A
few would “just rest”, and many of
them haven’t the slightest idea.
Predominately Aggie wives like
music. Many of them, play some
musical instrument the piano, the
violin, the accordian, snare drum,
organ, saxaphone and guitar. Many
of them have studied voice.
Would she do it again? Marry
that Texas Aggie and come to live
in College Station? She would.
The answer came best from
Dorris Mims who this month
“graduates” with her husband,
Fred, from A&M after three
years here.
“I value greatly the experience
of having lived here in Aggieland.
In spite of plenty of hard knocks,
heartaches, and numerous gi’ay
hairs, I wouldn’t take anything for
it—there is no other place like it
and I don’t believe any Aggie ever
loved it better than I do.”

’51 Polio Fund
Set at $9,566
Three years of the worst, polio
epidemics in history have wiped
out patient care funds of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, and left unpaid bills of
$5,000,000 said H. T. Blackhurst,
chairman of the Brazos County
March of Dimes campaign.
So the 1951 March of Dimes,
which opened yesterday, must raise
$50,000,000 nationally, and $9,566
in Brazos County, the chairman
added.
This sum is essential to enable
the Foundation and its local Chap
ters to provide financial aid, equip
ment and skilled workers for the
thousands of children and adults
who will he victims this year,, and
for those needing care from earlier
years.
Also, Blackhurst asserted, the
Foundation must continue to pay
for research in treatment and pre
vention of polio, and the training of
professional personnel.
“Let us meet this financial cri
sis, and give freely to conquer this
