A Valuable Course
Three Fs Lead in
Phone Voice Poll
llOUND; one of the most valuable courses
* a college can offer and one of the easiest.
It asks only two things of the student—time
and interest.
The course will last only five days. It
begins next Monday and runs through Fri
day. One further feature—it’s open to all
persons interested.
About the name? It doesn’t actually have
one. Instead, this valuable hunk of educa
tion comes in a carefully wrapped package
called Religious Emphasis Week.
But you’ve heard of that, haven’t you?
It’s this business of getting a bunch of
preachers down here and more or less hold
ing church all day long every day. Or is it?
That, actually, is a poor description which
fails to show the true aim of this annual
event. The “preachers,” if you would prefer
the word, will be here, but not in the capacity
usually associated with that term. Nor will
the daily meetings bear much semblance to
standard church procedure.
From the academic theme on which we
started this, the meetings will be lectures
and discussions no different from those as
sociated with many college courses. Of
course they will be sans quizzes and grades.
The visitors will be the instructors.
But the individual student is the sole
determinant in matters of outline for this

Democrats to Get
Good Fight in ’52
(THE 10,000 people who attended the Lin-
coin Day Box Supper in Washington
Watched the Republicans zero their “big
Jims” for the forthcoming 1952 campaign.
The financial objective is $200,000, and the
main campaign issue is foreign policy. Re
publican leaders have accused the Truman
administration of pushing the country to the
brink of an all-out war. Radio time at the
supper was allotted to the party leaders on a
one minute basis.
Some of the comments were:
• Taft — “Today the Republican party
undertakes to protect him (the Amer
ican workman) against excessive gov
ernment regulation and taxation.”
• Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.) — The
people have repudiated the “greatest
fraud in history” at the polls last No-
„ vember.
• Rep. Judd (R-Minn.)—Demanded use
of Chinese Nationalists in Korea. “Is
it such a privilege that only American
boys are permitted to die in this strug
gle?”
• Guy G. Gabrielson, chairman of the
GOP National Committee — Attacked
“fuzzy international thinking and con
fused domestic planning.” Republi
cans, he added, ought to organize to
“put an end to creeping Socialistic
schemes disguised as welfare pro
grams.”
• Senator Wherry (R-Neb.)—“We don’t
want any more Koreas—no more Dun-
kirks.”
Movie actor George Murphy was master
of ceremonies, and Fred Waring’s orchestra
provided the music. The pep rally featured
throw away sheets that advocated “Taft for
President.”
Republicans are also gunning for the 12
Democratic Senate seats that will be at stake
in 1952, and of course the re-election of 20
Republican Senators. If this preliminary
broadside is any indication, the Democrats
are in for a good fight in “52.”
course. Each of you has previously been
asked your preference for lecture topics.
Those will be the topics discussed.
Forgetting the academic theme entirely,
though, what about the religious part of
the coming event?
Here, the value of our “course” becomes
apparent. The week is not one set aside for
the benefit of religiously inclined students.
Nor is it aimed at converting the non-re
ligious.
The college provides this time because
of a realization that religion is quite often
one of the most troubling of all problems to
the average college student. This average
college student is at an age when he feels A
necessity to settle his views on the subject.
R. E. Week offers him the opportunity to
help do so.
The entire program is outlined for the
student with a question to ask. That ques
tion may be minor or it may concern his
whole basic concept of religion. The elab
orate planning for next week has been to
provide him with an answer.
We don’t claim or attempt to be preach
ers. There are too many others more quali
fied in that line. Our only aim is to point
out what Religious Emphasis Week is and
what it offers.
Now that we’ve done that we leave the
decisions to you. This “course” is not a pre
requisite to graduation. If you’re interested
in getting an education, however, we think
you’ll include it in your curriculum.
Loyal, Helpful,
Kind and Brave
T RUSTWORTHY. Loyal. Helpful, Friend
ly. Courteous. Kind. Obedient. Cheer
ful. Thrifty. Brave. Clean. Reverent.
Those are the twelve laws, the ideals, of
the Boy Scouts of America. Notice that
those laws bind him to no man nor political
ideology; neither do they promise him a phy
sical reward.
What a contrast to the laws taught the
Soviet youth. The young Russian is taught
only to revere Joseph Stalin, to devote his
life to the fight for Communism. He is
promised a heaven on earth if he is success
ful in converting, by propaganda or conquest,
the world to Communistic enslavement. In
stead of kindness, helpfulness, friendliness,
he is taught hatred.
The Boy Scouts are celebrating their
forty-first birthday this week. During Na
tional Boy Scout Week, troops of Scouts all
over the United States will be showing the
public what they have learned from their
Scout training.
They will demonstrate their knowledge
and love of nature. And nearly always
people are amazed by the skill displayed by
the young boys in first aid, and other emer
gency training.
But the greatest example of true Boy
Scout training was exhibited to the world
at the last international Scout camp held in
the United States. Thousands of boys from
nearly every country in the world were gath
ered together in one big tent city.
Did these boys have any vetoes, any walk
outs, any bitter fights over national pride or
ambition? No, they set an example their
elders might well follow. Texas Scouts trad
ed horned toads for Indian turbans and
Dutch wooden shoes. They learned that it’s
not country, nor race, nor religion, but a
man’s ideals and quality of heart that make
him a friend.

Margaret Murphy, popular em
ployee of Cushing Library and
Gerald L. Davis, senior ag educa
tion major from Stephenville, have
revealed their plans to be married
on February 17. Margaret is a
graduate of Stephen F. Austin
High School and has been employed
with the College since last June.
She and her fiance will be mar
ried in the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Murphy. . . .
Sunday’s Dallas papers carried the
betrothal news of Miss Lou Pro-
thro, Vanity Fair Beauty of 1949,
and Elmore M. Klenk, Jr., of Dal
las. Miss Prothro has leant her
beauty to many Aggie gatherings.
•
In Fort Worth Sunday Jan Staf
ford revealed her wedding plans
to marry Arnold Malcolm Gurley
II in late February. Jan is a for
mer ktudent at TSCW. Her fiance
is an Aggie A. H. major. The wed
ding is scheduled for February
24. . . . Beautiful Juanita Sargl
pledged her vows in Beaumont Sat-
ui’day to former Aggie Bill Wathen.
Among the honor attendants were
Aggies-exes Evan and Thurmon
Wathen, both brothers of the
groom.
•
BACK TO AGGIELAND have
come Mr. and Mrs. Paul Berry
from Dallas. The lovely Mrs. Ber
ry, a former SMU-ite, represent
ed the Battalion as Duchess to
the Cotton Ball a few years back
. . . John Tapley and 75th An
niversary Queen Lennie Gar
rard, a University of Houston
co-ed, still manage to crowd
plenty of weekend dates into
their busy schedules.
•
THE BEGINNING OF THE
BALLS. Men in charge of the
sweetheart contests for the various
class balls are seen these days
with a gleam in the eye. Reason
is the multitude of pretties they
are keeping under constant sur
veillance—their coterie of queen
candidates. Most joyous of all is
Happy Clemens, freshman presi
dent, who claims that he has a
right to, the biggest bang because
he's so new at this sort of thing
. . . We’ve noted, though, that
the older they get, the harder they
fall, so Junior prexy, Harold
Chandler and Soph head, Jack D.
Brooks are going around with a
far-away-look, too.
Also happy about the balls com
ing up is Arnold Schmitz who is
looking forward to the Military af
fair and a date with Freddie from
Louisiana, who he hasn’t seen in
over two years.
O
MEMOIRS OF THE ICE AGE.
Some luckless folks are still
carrying around souvenirs of the
big freeze that kept C. S. citi
zens in overcoats for a week.
Among these is College Viewer
Dorothy Hendrix, who took ad
vantage of the ice to stage a
one-gal ice show in front of her
apartment. Result: Dottie is now
carrying her arm around in a
sling. . . . From our high win
dow we viewed a group of happy
guys and gals out sledding—
their sleigh attached to the back
of an auto. ... Nice way to end
up not with us no mo’.
•
Welcome newcomers among the
folks we know are Robert Clayton
Bennett and Suzanne McMullin.
Baby Bennett made his appearance
recently into the household of Bob
by and Gene Bennett, Susie and
Bobo. , . . Miss McMullin is the 6-
pound, 10-ouncer of Pike and
Frances McMullin and the little
sister of Randy. Both youngsters
have moved right in, indicate that
they are around to stay for awhile.
