discontinued Textile Engineering
Department.
The board approved a new policy
for awarding honorary degrees,
with four classifications being es
tablished. These will be for former
students who have led long and dis
tinguished careers in their fields
and have reflected credit upon the
college; for former students who,
with one particular effort, have
bi’ought credit; for Texas citizens
of national prominence; and for
friends of the college who have
aided in its operations.
Foster to be Demolished
Foster Hall, built in 1891, will be
demolished,-the board ruled. Spence

councilors for the Research Foun
dation, leased a tract in Wichita
County for oil purposes, and gave
its authority to award the contract

Cof C Drive
Sets Goal Of
500 Members
The Chamber of Commerce
membership drive for 1951 is
underway with its commercial
memberships and will start
the individual phase of the
drive March 1, Ray Oden, drive
co-chairman announced Saturday.
Last year there were approxi
mately 255 subscriptions, both
commercial and individual, and
this year a goal of 500 members
has been set. The individual drive
includes husband-and-wife mem
berships.
Individual membership solicita
tions will be conducted by J. E.
“Jocko” Robinson, who will pro
bably work with sub-committees
which will operate in different
building, Oden said.
Marion Pugh and Oden are co-
chairman of the drive. In charge
of the sub-committees for com
mercial memberships are H. E.
Burgess, North Gate; Earl Cun
ningham, East Gate; and Marion
Pugh, South Gate.
“B e c a u s e all sub-committee
workers have not made their re
ports no tabulations are available,”
Oden said. “We expect to have
them by our next meeting.” This
meeting is scheduled for Monday,
March 5 at 1:15 p. m. in the City
Offices, he said.
Comparing the number of mem
berships received to date, Oden re
ported an approximate increase of
70 per cent over 1950 subscriptions.

fying. Striking with accuracy
which they had never displayed
this season, the Aggies started
shooting like Annie Oakley.
Through the first ten minutes,
especially, A&M could not seem to
miss, and the fans were left gasp
ing.
There was a tie-up on Vhe ini
tial tipoff, but on the second try
the Owls got the ball. Two minutes
later Rice’s great center Joe Mc-
Dedmott broke the ice with a tip-
in to draw first blood.
Held 10-Point Lead
Guard Maurice Grawunder tal
lied a free toss, but Leroy Miksch
and Walker answered with field
goals. With 1:50 remaining, A&M
lead again by 10 points, 22-12.
Two points by McDermott, one
by Davis and one more by Mc
Dermott seemed to be all the scor
ing in the first period, but with
only 30 seconds to go, Walker
flashed by his defender for a score,
as the half ended at 26-15.
The 11-point margin looked
mighty big, but so did the four
fouls on Martin and the three on
Davis, Walker and DeWitt.
Frightening Second Half
The Aggies had had things their
own way in the first half, but the
A&M Women’s Social
Club Holds Luncheon
“The Inside Story of Fashion
Edition 1951” was narrated by
Mrs. Glenn C. Green at the A&M
Women’s Social Club luncheon and
style show Friday. The meeting
attended by 200 women, was held
in the Ball Room of the Memorial
Student Center.
Tiny dolls decorated the length
of the luncheon tables and were
supplemented by a floral display
of Narcissus, pansies and pajonica.
Yellow chrysanthemums and
jonquils were arranged lengthwise
on_ the speaker’s table with white
daisies at each end and miniature
dolls placed in between. Hand-
painted fan place cards marked the
places of the officers and honor
guests.

second period all but turned white
the hair of A&M partisans.
A charity by McDowell was the
first tally opening the last lap,
and after Gerhardt and Martin ex
changed field goals, plus a liberty
for the former, McDowell kept the
12-pohit margin in tact with a
floor shot.
The marginal 12 was cut to only
nine in less than a minute as Mc
Dermott made a field goal and
Dickens added two from the line
McDowell and McDermott traded
floor shots while Walker, Gerhardt,
Dickens and OeWitt all made free
throws to bring the score to 36-
27.
Owls Get Hot
The Owls started piling on them
as Dickens and Gerhardt bagged
fg’s interrupted only by liberties
from Davis and Walker.
Fouling finally caught up to the
Aggies as, at 10:23, Davis fouled
out. Rice outscored A&M six to
four in the next three minutes as
McDowell meshed all for the vis
itors.
A second catastrophy hit the Ags
when Martin committed his fifth
foul with seven and a half min
utes to go. Rice trailed by only four
as Gerhardt turned Martin’s er
ror into a point.
The last seven minutes of the
game brought a torrid Rice pace,
superb Aggie defensive play and
comparatively little scoring.
McDowell, Gerhardt and McDer
mott all hit from the floor and
McDowell grabbed a free throw
for the remaining scoring, but the
story laid in the Aggie defensive
play.
And the Freeze Come
Bobby Farmer, DeWitt, Miksch,
McDowell and Walked kept the ball
going with such timing and. team-
play that the Owls were completely
helpfess. McDowell controlled the
ball for two minutes unassisted and
Rice was able to stop him only by
using two men to scramble him into
Don Heft had to replace the un
lucky DeWitt who fouled out with
a minute remaining. The Aggies
kept that ball until only two sec
onds remained, hut it was long
enough to beat the Owls 45-42 and
gain at least a piece of long-absent
basketball title.
Over $250 in prizes will be awarded winners of
Wednesday night’s Annual Battalion Pipe-Smok
ing Contest. The contest will begin at 7 p.m. in
the Assembly Doom of the Memorial Student
Center. Entry blanks are printed in today’s
paper and are available in the MSC lobby.

“one-sided” (failure) grading of
the prof judges.
College Station Fire Chief Cled
Warren wanted to help officiate
but said he was. allergic to smoke,
and besides, the contest falls on
his night to polish the engine.
Rules for the contest are few
and simple. It is open to all
connected with the college with a
special division being established
for professors and instructors
only. Women, who have always
claimed to be as capable as men,
are eligible to enter but thus far
none have ventured forth.
Entry blanks appear in today’s
Battalion or may be secured in the
lobby of the MSC.
Men entering pipe collections
must have their collections in the
MSC Assembly room by 4 p.m.
Wednesday. This is to allow time
in which to arrange their displays
so it won’t interfere with the oper
ation of the contest.
Tobacco and even corn-cob
pipes, which the contestants may
keep, will be provided by the
Memorial Student Center, co
sponsor of the contest, in the
pipe-smoking division.
Cigars, cigarettes and rolling to
bacco will also be provided for
contestants entered in the cigar
smoking, smoke-ring blowing and
cigarette-rolling contest.
Pipe-smoking will include large,
medium, small, miniature, and met
al bowl competition with special
sections set for Calabash and
Churchwarden puffers.
For the convenience of those who
wish to practice, the MSC has
stocked a complete line of pipes
and other tobacco needs.
