Campus WideChest
Drive Opens Next
Week, Goal $2,500
The Campus Chest drive, which
last year made possible the first
12th Man Scholarship, will begin
next week with a goal set at $2,500.
This year the money will be div
ided three ways. A second $1000,
12th Man Scholarship will be given,
a $000 foreign student scholarship
will be sponsored, and $300 will be
contributed to the College Station.
Community Chest.
Two years ago, the idea for a
12th man scholarship originated in
the Student Senate. A means of
financing the fellowship worked
out. Then last year the campus
chest drive had its birth.
First Winner
Carrol Phillips, Henrietta, Texas
was the first high school senior to
receive aid. After a competitive
examination given by the former
students Development Fund, Phil
lips entered A&M, as a pre-dental
student. He now has a grade point
ratio of 2.33.
In a campus wide election held
in February, the student body
elected Norway to receive the bene
fits of the foi’eign student schol
arships.
Purpose of the fellowship is to
tell Norway about America by in
structing one of her students, said
I. E. “Monty” Montgomery, co-
chairman of the Campus Chest
Committee.
Because of aid given polio vic
tims, the Senate voted to contri
bute to the College Station Com
munity Chest. Four student’s chil
dren and three faculty members
were stricken with polio last year,
according to Montgomery.
In the 1950 chest drive, $2,400
was collected. Besides the $1600
scholarvship, $500 was given the
World Student Service Fund.
Purpose of the WSSF is to aid
reconstruction of foreign schools
and poverty stricken students.
A Contingent Fund containing
$300 was not used, accoi’ding to
Montgomery. The fund was intend
ed to be used in case a person
connected with A&M were suddenly
impoverished.
Members of the Campus Chest
Committee are Allan Eubank, in
charge of solicitations; Montgom
ery, adveitisement; Bill Moss,
special events; Bill Dalston, Bob
Dunn, Brad McAllister, and Hans
Kinningstad.
Killingstad is in charge of writ
ing letters to all faculty and staff
members inviting their participa
tion in the drive. Posters will be
handled and distributed by McAl
lister.
Actual collecting in the dorms
will be done Wednesday and Thurs
day night of next week. The sena
tor from each dorm will, with three
aids, enter individual rooms be
ginning at 10 p. m.

H. L. 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 from
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 Debaters
Speak Before
Local Kiwanis
“Resolved: That the non
communist nations should
form a new international or
ganisation”, was the subject
for the debate presented be-
fore the CollegR Station Kiwanis
Club yesterday at their weekly
meeting.
The debate was given by the
A&M debating team composed of
James Farmer and Dan Davis,
speaking for the affirmative, and
Joe Riddle and Berthold Weller,
arguing for the negative side of
the question. Farmer and Davis
are both juniors while Riddle and
Weller are sophomores.
Before the debates began, Har
rison Hierth, debate squad coach
and member of the English De
partment, issued cards to the Ki
wanis with instruction to indicate
their personal stand on the ques
tion befoi’e and after the debates.
In this manner, it is possible to
detect both weaknesses and strong
points on the question and also
discover the effectiveness of the
speakers.
Approximately 18 members of
the A&M Consolidated High School
baseball team were guests last Sun
day of the J. C. Culpepper Realty
Co. and the Kiwanis on a round-
trip to Houston to see the exhi
bition baseball game between the
New York Yankees and the Hous
ton Buffs. The team was accom
panied by Coaches Othel Chafin
and Jim Bevans and Kiwanians H.
J. Johnson and R. A Orr.
Next week’s meeting will hear
H. P. Smith of the Agricultural
Engineering Department speak
about his recent trip to Turkey.
Smith will illustrate his talk with
movie slides picturing both his
work over there and the general
living conditions of that country.
Local Civic Leader
Resigns From Staff
C. W. “Bill” Manning, well-
known civic leader of College Sta
tion and Agricultural Experiment
Station staff member since 1941,
is resigning from the Station, ef
fective April 30, to except a posi
tion with the Stoneville Pedigreed
Seed Co., Stoneville, Miss.
Manning will work to improve
the varieties of cotton produced
by the seed company. This work
will include breeding work with
oats and four varieties of cotton,
and later he will initiate a pro
gram in soybeans.
A&M Press Manager
Suffers Cracked Ribs
J. W. Hall, manager of the A&M
Press, suffered a broken collar
bone and four cracked ribs when
he was thrown from a horse Mon
day afternoon at his farm in Kur-
ten.
Hall is hospitalized at St. Joseph
in Bryan.

“DeBerry has a very good chance
to be seeded this year in the South
west Conference Meet,” said Dow
ell. “This meet is one which
judges the individual, not the team,
and I think that he will make a
good showing,” Dowell concluded.
“R. G. didn’t show up with the
best of records last year, but I
would credit this to 1 the fact that
he was in bad company. It was
his first year in SWC competition
and he met some of the best. How
ever, he came out at the last of
the year with a nice record and
some invaluable experience.
Also to be credited in last year’s
performance was DeBerry’s de
feating the U of H’s Jason Morton,
one of the top mens’ singles players
in the state.
DeBerry considers his greatest
improvement made while at A&M.
is his doubles playing. He also has
developed a two-handed backstroke,
which is the only one in the SW£.
This style is patterned after the
great pro tennis player, Pancho
Segura.
“I am thinking seriously about
turning professional after I grad
uate,” said DeBerry. He also added
that he gained his interest for the
game from his father who taught
him many of the finer points of
tennis.

a career which has included two
temporary but bitter military de
feats, the 71-year-old general was
relieved without a public hint of
criticism for his military ability.
To the old soldier, that fact must
have been comforting.
From the day, in 1903, that he
graduated at the top of his West
Point class, MacArthur never has
been away from military affairs.
He retired from the U. S. Army
in 1937, then spent the next four
years as field marshal of the Phil
ippines trying to build a defense
force. He returned to active duty
with the U. S. Ai’my in 1941, just
before the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, and has remained in uni
form since then.

Calendar Plans For
’51-’52 Completed
Plans for a social calendar for
the 1951-52 school year wei'e tenta
tively made Monday night at a
meeting of club presidents and
other organizations sponsoring soc
ial events.
The calendar of events, accord
ing to C. G. “Spike” White, dean
of men for activities, will be print
ed during the summer when all con
tracts and contracts are completed.
White said the calendar wquld
be large enough for a student! to
make insertions of dates, quizzes'
and anything else he may desire, to
keep himself informed.
“They will probably he distribut
ed during registration this Fall,”
White added, at no cost to the stu
dent.”
Clubs Open to All
(Continued from Page 3)
These clubs are open to any stu
dent who wishes to compete. They,
like other clubs on the campus,
have their own officers and a char
ter and space is reserved for their
club picture in the Aggieland.
To try to name all the boys be
longing to every club would be dif
ficult for in all there are about
250 to 300 boys involved.
Without sponsors these clubs
would not exist and too much praise
and credit cannot be given to the
men who spend many hours work
ing with the boys'. The sponsors
get no pay, just the satisfaction of
seeing this program and the plea
sure of being able to work with
hoys.
The Sponsors
Mickie Ponthieux and But Mat
thews of the Physical Education
Department, with the help of Jim
Abbott of the Math Department,
are the sponsors of the gymnastics
team.
In addition to all the other things
the Gymnastics Club has done, sev
eral shows were presented between
halves of the home basketball
games.
Emil Mamaliga, diving coach and
PE prof, is the sponsor of the-
weight lifting club.
Paul Andrews of the PE Dept,
sponsors the Soccer Club. This or
ganization is made up mostly of
Latin-American students whose na
tional sport is soccer. They play
this game on the same level as
is football and baseball played in
this country.
Big Time Wrestler
The Wrestling Club is sponsored
by Jim Griffith, also a PE instruct
or. This year is the first time A&M
has had a wrestling instructor
with the background of Griffith. He
wrestled for Oklahoma A&M where
his father is now coach of wrest
ling.
Herman Segrest is the Handball
Club sponsor and Barney Welch
sponsors and coaches the softball
team.

Calling all frustrated mothers!
Calling all babies!
Mothers, do you desire an even

If so, take advantage of the
service now offered by the College ‘
Station Girl Scouts of Troop 11.
These girls are willing to spend an
evening with young Bratley, for a

this he has to have a man who will
cooperate fully.”
The Oklahoma senator’s indica
tion that the fight will be carried
to the country was backed by an
other administration Democrat,
who didn’t want his name used.
The cabinet member’s chief con
gressional critic, Senator McCarthy
(R-Wis), called MacArthur’s re
moval from command “a black day
for America and a great day of
rejoicing and victory for Com
munism.”
Agreeing with Knowland that
Acheson has won another victory
within the administration for his
policies, McCarthy called MacAr
thur “the last bulwark in the. East
against Communism and for Amer
ica.”
“To destroy him is treason,” the
Wisconsin senator declared.
Senator Jenner (R-Ind) contend
ed that “our struggle in Korea is
finished—there is nothing to do
now . but bring our boys home.”
“In his action in striking down
General McArthur in the dead of
night, President Truman has given
the Soviet Union the greatest vic
tory it could have imagined,” Jen
ner said.
“The release of General MacAr
thur from command in Korea is a
political action which constitutes
the greatest military disaster in
American history.

than by just “being different” in
small, insignificant points.
(In fact, we could become so
different—if the entire student
body carried this thought—that
we could cease to function on a
level equal with other colleges.
You have struck an excellent
point—although we doubt you real
ize it—in your last paragraph. The
important part of the change would
he that the Senate President (or
President of the Student Body)
would represent the student body
directly by their vote. The name
change, while quite desirable, is
actually of less importance to us.
