Page 1) was flanked with huge blue letters announcing the “AF Ball.” At the East end of the ballroom, blue and gold guidons had been arranged. At the close of the evening, airmen were treated to an added attraction in the form of at tractive blond Monte Davis, who played two selections on the piano. She has appeared on TV, radio, and has been featured with the Houston Symphony and the Dallas Symphony. Her date was Walt Robertson. After it was all over, everyone had decided that the “Air Force should do this more often.” It had been done once before ini 1928. An Air Coips (not Force, at the time) unit on the campus had existed since 1918 and was disbanding. This was their fare well party. Actually, the dance proved to be such a success that it became the first of a series of regimental balls that have continued in existence on up into current times. In recent years, Air Force units have combined with other regi ments to give a dance. But this year, due to the expanded amount of Air Force units and cadets, dance planners decided to “go it alone.” Eagle Lake High School, Fort Worth High School, and A&M Con solidated High School. Miss Louise Greer gave the win ning paper in the social science division of the contest. Receiving the second place award in this section was Jerry Reeves of A&M Consolidated.

Official Notice Senior ring orders for the class of 1952 will be accepted in the Registrar’s Office after May 1.

Heaton Registrar The School of Military Science and Tac tics is studying the advisability of offering one semester for credit of MS II and AS II to be completed during the two summer school terms of twelve weeks, total to only those cadets who will be academically qual ified for advanced contract next fall except that they lack only one semester of Basic Military Science. Accordingly, any student in this situation is requested to report in writing to his MS or AS instructor by 9 April 1951 whether he (1) will probably take or (2) will definitely take such a course, if offered. The report should also include expected academic standing (hours, grade points, ratio, classification, and ma jor course) and completed Military Science semesters as of the end of the present spring semester. Th feasibility of offering such a course can only be determined fremi a study of these reports. It must be borne in mind that the spirit behind the offering of summer school ROTC work is to bring into step the academic and military instruction of our students or to shorten the duration of their college car eers. The operation of the Selective Service Act and the reputation of this college makes us look with disfavor upon any innovation in our Military Science instruc tion which would prolong the college car eer of any individual beyond the normal duration.

A&M scored its fourth run in the lucky second after Hubert had walked and was then sacrificed to second by Wallace. Ecrette struck out but Lary singled to right-center to bring Hubert around the hot corner. This afternoon A&M will seek its third conference win and ninth season victory at the expense of the TCU Horned Frogs. TCU, who has an unimpressive season’s record of three wins and eight defeats, stands fifth in the conference race with a one and three, post. Last week the Toads were swal lowed by SMU 11-9. The week be fore they had been taken by the Ponies 4-1. TCU played Rice two games and split the series.

The TCU plate-power will be furnished by leadoff man Harvey King, left fielder Bill Barnes and first baseman Bill Elliott. King isn’t a long ball hitter but he us ually gets on while Barnes and Elliot are fence-breakers. Coach Beau Bell will send Sid Goodloe to the mound for A&M.

NAVLES Hiway 6 & 21 (Couples Only) $1.20 Per Couple—Tax Included A&M Man Elected Secretary Of SW Journalism Congress Texas A&M and TSCW returned from the Southwest Journalism Congress held at the University of Oklahoma last Friday and Sat urday with each school gaining one office apiece in the organiza tion for the coming year. Bill Streich, junior journalism major from Houston was elected secretary of the congress as a rep resentative from A&M, while Miss Pat Powless from the Denton school was elected president for the 1951- 52 school year. Miss Powless is a junior journal ism major from Tulsa, Oklahoma. An SMU student, Russ Thoraton, was elected to the vice presidency. The congress officially opened Friday morning with an address of welcome from the vice president of the University of Oklahoma, Roscoe Cate. The keynote speaker told the delegates from the 13 member schools that “only the truth can make and keep us free.” Monitor Speaker Featured speaker of the morn ing program was Miss Mary Horn- aday, a member of the New York bureau of the Christian Science Monitor who gave her opinions con cerning news coverage at the ses sions of the United Nations. “In covering a session at Lake Success,” Miss Homaday said, “a reporter must learn to think and act as a world citizen, because the UN stresses human freedom above all else.” The United States, she believes, has finally taken a role as a world leader because of the aggressor resolution passed through Ameri can. insistence last Feb. 1. Creative Writing Following Miss Hornaday’s talk, Prof. Walter S. Campbell of the OU English department gave the listeners a few pointers on creative writing. “A writer,” said the speaker, “is like a slow leak in a tire. You have to keep pumping him up, if you want him to keep going.” A speech on the monopoly press If You Don’t Know Diamonds, It Pays to Know SANKEY PARK ¥ ■Ml': CAMERON L\ Also 100 to 2475 Wedding Ring 12.50 SANKEY PARK JEWELER 111 N. Main Bryan by J. Lloyd Jones, editor of the Tulsa Tribune, was the climax of the morning session. “A monopoly paper,” Jones pointed out, “can be either good or bad, depending on the attitude of the publisher and the editor.” Climax of the first day’s meeting of the congress was a banquet at the Biltmore Hotel in Oklahoma City. This affair was jointly spon sored by the Oklahoma Publishing Co. and the Oklahoma City Times. Washington Post Editor The speaker for the affair, Frank L. Dennis, assistant managing edi tor of the Washington Post, told listeners about the function of re porters in covering government news. “The press, Dennis emphasized, “can do its best job in covering government news in the nation’s capitol, because there, any action on the part of a public official is eventually felt by a majority of the nation’s citizens.” Saturday morning, the delegates assembled to hear a talk by H. Deskin Wells, editor of the Wel lington, /Texas Leader, one of the country’s leading weeklies. His talk was on the “Trials and Tribu lations of Small Town Journalism.” At a luncheon Saturday noon, the guests heard a talk by Hal Boyle, one of the leading war cor respondents for the Associated Press, who spoke on “Your Stake in Korea.” Boyle covered the in vasion of North Africa, and the campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France and the Pacific theater. He has recently returned from Korea, “No one can say exactly when we have won the Korean war,” the war correspondent said. “This is because our objectives are not clear.” At the start of the war in Ko rea, the United States was far short of men and material nec essary to conduct an all out war. However, Boyle said, the Army did. show extreme courage in battle which was not fully recognized at the time. No Surrender * In fighting the North Koreans, our Army learned the inadvisability of surrendering to such an enemy. “On one occasion, the speaker said, we arrived at a town a short time after the enemy had pulled out. There we found the slain bodies of some of our soldiers who had surrendered. They had been tied and made to kneel in a hastily dug trench and then shot in the back. The present situation has now approached the point of becoming a stalemate, the correspondent said. Our forces advance and then the Reds take the offensive. The congress closed Saturday afternoon, following a business ses sion at which the officers were, elected.
