Page 6 TKE BATTALION Thursday, April 19, 1951 Hand-Wrought Glass Show Being Prepared by MSC Ry BRYAN SPENCER Battalion Staff Writer A show of hand-wrought Amer- can made glass is now being pre pared for exhibition tomorrow to April 29 in the Social Room of the MSC. As I walked in the door, one thing came into my mind. “This is going to be a you-name it, we-have- it-regai'dless-of-size, shape, color- or-what-have-you-in-the - field - of American-hand-made glass situa tion. This display, the second of it’s kind in colleges in the US—the other being at the University of Omaha—is for the purpose of showing the American house wives that American handmade glassware is just as good, if not better, than European make. The show is being slanted to ward students who have an inter est in beautiful glass (you are not always going to eat in a mess hall men, chances are you will prob ably have a better looking room mate at some later date also), and student wives who are beginning to collect glass for their homes. Included in the exhibit, will be Did You Know (Continued from Page 3) Braves set an all-time record by hurling 2(5 innings to a 1-1 tie . . . softball sets the national pace in sports attendance by 50,000,000 in Stanley Woodward’s recent publication Who’s Who in Sport, fifty of the best basketball guards in the country are listed, in cluding SMU’s Freddy Freeman, but Jewell McDowell was exclud ed .. . in the same magazine, backs, Lary Isbell, Bruisin’ Bob Smith, Gil Bartosh and Bobby Jack Floyd were representatives of the SWC.

Included in this display will be a complete set of dining room furniture, with the table set. The furniture will be furnished by Joske’s of Houston. Some of the glassware was shown in Life magazine in it’s article American Best Finest Home Furniture. Another magazine, Wo man’s Home Companion, carried another article on the Cambridge Arm, an epergne that comes with numerous accessory units with which unlimited arrangements of the epergne can be made.

PO Box 4308 College Station Battalion Policy (Continued from Page 2) When we support or oppose an issue, we feel that we are doing so “In the Interest of A Greater A&M College.” Likewise, when you put your opinions into a letter, we expect your thoughts also to be in the interest of A&M. Of necessity, if the college is to grow and prosper, your thoughts cannot be only in your interest, the interest of the Senior Class, the civilian students, the Cadet Corps, or any other segment of A&M. All of A&M and the years ahead must be considered. Space has been taken to discuss these basic attitudes and policies because The Battalion wants its readership to understand hoiv it thinks, whether they agree with what it thinks or not. Keep in mind in your criticisms that when you lash out at the entire paper you are speaking to many students who are giving their time in your interest. Criticism of Battalion thinking should be defined as such, so that it will pertain only to the co-editors, who are responsible for receiving and considering such criticism.

Questions on the test will be of the kind found in the college en trance examinations and ROTC qualification tests given students during their first year. These questions will be compar atively difficult. In a sample sheet of questions received in The Battalions office, seniors of good academic standing recorded scores of about 82. A grade of 70 on the test will be considered minimum for defer ment puurposes. However, a grade above or below this is no absolute guarantee of anything. The op tion still rests with your local board. Decide on Test Essentially, then, you must de cide whether or not to take the test. You should be able to base your decision on the information contained in this article. And, should you decide to take the test, you should act immediately to get an apnlication form from the local board. Some of you may have read of the possibility that the College Qualification Test has met with disfavor in Congress and may be scuttled. These reports are true. However, at present there is no indication one way or another. Your safest bet is to determine your need for taking the test and to make arrangements now. You have everything to gain and noth ing to lose. COFFEE Made the SUNBEAM Way.. IS COFFEE SURE TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY . . . But Don’t Take Our Word for It . . .
