THE BATTALION
Wednesday, March 14,1951
Through the Hoop
Jack Gwynne, “Master of Magic,” passes a hoop
around one of his assistants to show there are no
strings, during one of his finals. The magician
will begin his show today at . r > p.m. in front of
the MSC when he drives a car blindfolded on the
campus. He will also attempt to hyptonize sev
eral of the Aggie Students on the stage of Guion
Hall. Sharing the show with Gwynne will be a
team of West Point Cadets who will debate with
the Aggie team following the 7:30 p.m. show.
Council Has Big Job
(Continued from Page 2)
take the job with interest and en
thusiasm, and a willingness to
think, have no place on the Coun
cil. Their presence not only hin
ders constructive efforts of the
group, but is an insult, and in
justice to the student body.
From this we can see that qual
ifications for the Council other
than technical ones, are easy to
define, but difficult to detect in
the individual until he begins to
serve.
You who are considering a try
for the office know whether you
possess the interest and enthusiasm
that is so vital.
If you are interested, you may
gain further insight into the job
and it’s duties by talking with
MSC Council President Joe Fuller
or to J. Wayne Stark, MSC direct
or. Fuller’s office is located across
from the Browsing Library and
Director Stark can be located in
the Main Office at the end of the
corridor.
Filing — Where and How
Under provisions of the Council
Constitutiion, there are two cate
gories for the two at-large posts.
One is for students who are not
now in later than their fourth
semester of college. This provides
for at least one junior or sopho
more on next year’s governing
body.
The second category is open to
students of any classification, ex
cept seniors who will graduate in
June, the Summer, or next January.
Both categories require a grade
point ratio of 1.00 or better and
membership "in the MSC for at
least one year. (This means candi
dates must have attended A&M for
one year.)
Petition blanks are provided and
students may file for election with
Miss Betty Bolander, assistant soc
ial and educational director. She
is located in the MSC “front of
fice” adjacent to the main desk
in the front lobby.
Deadline for filing has been set
at 5 p. m. Friday and the student-
body-wide election will be held
Tuesday evening, March 20.

Rodeo Area Gets
New Judges Stand
Members of the Saddle and Sir
loin Club and Rodeo Club are near
ing completion of the judges stand
and south side bleachers of the
newly erected rodeo arena.
With the completion of these
two projects, the arena will be one
of the best constructed and facil
itated arenas of its type in Texas.
The arena was first used last
November for the intra-collegiate
rodeo and will be used for the in
ter-collegiate rodeo in the early
part of April.
All of the construction has been
done by students with the able as
sistance of some of the interested
animal husbandry professors.

The best professor in the School
of Agriculture. Who is he?
To find this man would be quite
a job, it seems. Btt members of
the Ag Council have decided to
try to find him and give him the
recognition he deserves.
They are not forgetting the diffi
culty of this job. Hi fact, when
this project was first presented to
the Ag Council, the first question
was, “can it he done?”
Charley Modisett, ag engineering
major who graduated last June,
presented the subject U> the Coun
cil at its final meeting last Spring.
Modisett suggested the Council
present an award or plaque to the

Vetoes Show
A&M Garden Club members met
Friday afternoon in the MSC for

Mrs. R. E. Sntiggs, program
chairman, introduced Mrs. R. R.
Lyle who in turn presented Mr.
and Mrs. J. R. Odom. Odom demon
strated points in corsage making
while his wife explained the pro
cedure to members. He made cor-
cages of gladiola, Dutch iris and
daffodils.
After the demonstration, the
group divided into sections, each
with an instructor, and made cor
sages. Mrs. Lyle, Mrs. W. Fred
Farrar, Mrs. E. D. Parnell, Mrs.
Abide Stevens, Mrs. G. B. Wilcox,
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Ralph Lee as

faculty man in the School of Ag-

of putting over his material.
No definite action was taken
on the subject at that time. It
was discussed pro and con by the
Council members, and Dean John
Bertrand, who met with the
Council, expressed the opinion
that such an undertaking cer
tainly merited consideration.
With the general concensus of
opinion among the students that
the project was worthwhile but
difficult, the subject was referred
to the 1950-51 Ag Council for fur
ther consideration.
At the December, 1950, meeting
of the Council, the recommendation
for a “Best Professor” award was
again discussed. Arguments for
and against making the award were
in about the same vein as when
the subject was introduced the
spring before.
However, the Council members
decided to appoint a committee

Odds and ends on this former
jinx: A&M hadn’t defeated Texas
in basketball, football or baseball
in Austin since 1943—until last
night. The Cadets hadn’t turned
the trick on the Gregory Gym hard
woods since 1934.
During that year, such not
ables as C. G. “Spike” White,
Taylor Wilkins, and W. G.
“Breezy” Breazeale were A&M
cage sharpshooters.
The last football victory for
A&M in Austin was in 1922, the
last in baseball in 1943. One jinx

to set up plans for selecting the
recipient of the award. Earl Gil
more, Malcolm Dyer, Calvin Rinn
and Bee Landrum were appointed
to the committee.
At the January meeting, the
committee presented a basis for
selecting the best professor, and
the Council accepted the recom
mendations. The same committee
was named to find the pro
fessor and to select the award
to be presented. Wilbur Von
Heeder was appointed to serve
on the committee.
In a preliminary balloting, re
presentative groups of students
from the School of Agriculture
technical clubs are nominating
three professors each for the
award.
Presentation and coverage of
material is the most important fac
tor that the students consider in
making the nominations. This is
supposed to make up 40 per cent
of the basis of selection.
Ability to develop and hold in
terest in the class is 25 percent
of the basis of selection. Personal
traits count 10 percent in the
selection, and activities of the
professor outside of the class
room are valued at another 10
percent.
After the committee members
have collected and tabulated the
ballots, they will investigate the
leading candidates further and
submit three names to the Ag-
Council for final consideration.
Dean Shepardson, who was not
present at Council meetings when
the projects was being planned,
said he liked the basic idea of the
undertaking. He declared, “Good
teachers too frequently do not re
ceive recognition for the work they
are doing.”
Ag Council President Marvin
Twenhafel said, “Maybe this will
make the profs realize that stu
dents do notice how well they are
doing their jobs.”
The committee has not yet de
cided what kind of award will be
given or when it will be presented.
The recipient of the award will
probably be selected at the April
Council meeting, said Twenhafel.
New York, March 14—(A*)—The
Russian embassy in Mexico City
was linked in testimony yestenlay
to a spy ring accused of stealing
some top United States atom bomb
secrets.
Former Sgt. David Greenglass,
29, a confessed member of the
ring, described the embassy as the
key point in an escape route for
spies when the FBI got too close.
Greenglass said he was instruct
ed specifically by his brother-in-
law, Julius Rosenberg, an accused
spy, in contacting- the Russian am
bassador in Mexico last June.
Rosenberg, 33 an electrical en
gineer, is on trial in federal court
with his wife, Ethel, 35 (Green-
glass’ sister), and radar expert
Morton Sobell, 33, on a charge of
conspiring to spy for Russia.
The witness said Rosenberg be-

came alarmed after the arrests of
Dr. Klaus Fuchs in England and
Philadelphia chemist Harry Gold in
the United States on espionage
charges.
Greenglass, who previously was
employed on the atom bomb pro
ject at Los Alamos, N. M., said
Rosenberg told him to leave the
country “as soon as possible.”
Greenglass said Rosenberg gave
him these detailed instructions:
Go to Mexico City. Write to the
Russain ambassador. Say some
thing favorable in the letter about
the Soviet position in the United
Nations and sign it “I. Jackson.”
Three days later go to the statue
of Columbus in .Mexico City with
a travel guide. You will be ap
proached by a “contact” man. Com
ment to him that "it is a magnifi
cent statue” and add that you are
from Oklahoma.
The contact will identify himself
by saying there are more beautiful
statutes in Paris. Then he will
give you money and a passport.
From Mexico City you will go
to Vera Cruz, then to Sweden. In
Stockholm you will follow the
same procedure at the statue of
Linneas and make contact with a
man who will arrange transporta
tion to Czechoslovakia.
In Czechoslovakia, write to the
Soviet ambassador, this time sign
ing your full name.
Greenglass said he told Rosen
berg he had decided “to stay right
here and do nothing.”
Ten days later FGI agents nab
bed him.

The comradship of Aggies is well-known every
where Aggies go. The feeling of belonging, of
being part of a highly-thought-of group, is a
characteristic of A&M students.
In comparison with other schools, an education is inexpensive at A&M.
From the standpoint of both living costs and educational costs, you can’t
lose by attending A&M.
Most of the population of Texas is concentrated in the region east of the Pecos river. And A&M
is located in the central part of this region. So, wherever you live, you are within easy distance
of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas.
Scholarship
Wherever an A&M graduate goes, his degree is held in high esteem because of the high stand-
dards enforced at A&M. Top-quality graduates come from A&M, because the college demands
top-quality work from its students. You’ll be proud of your degree from A&M.
