Vivian, Curtis, and Carol Castleberry
Castleberry’s Leave Here
In Quest for Job, New Home
By PAT MORLEY
Battalion Women’s Editor
Vivian and Curtis Castleberry
left yesterday for Dallas, three
years after the day they came to
A&M. As Vivian expressed it, they
“wound up these past three years
With one college degree, one child,
one refrigerator, and many, many
good friends.”
Curt, in the process of “getting
through,” drove a school bus one
semester, worked at the Post Of
fice delivering Christmas pack
ages, collected for a magazine
agency, and threw a 25-mile paper
route at 3:30 every morning for
8 months. His extra-curricular ac
tivities included membership in
Alpha Zeta, Agricultural honorary
society; membership on the Agri
cultural Council, and in the Jour
nalism Club. Scholastically, with
his degree in Agricultural Educa
tion; Curtis’ goal is attained.
Blond-haired Curt’s admiration
for his vivacious, charming, brun
ette wife is obvious, for rea
sons easily understandable to all
the people who have known Viv
ian as Women’s Editor of the
Battatlion, and as homemaker
and mother at B-13-B College
View.
After her graduation from SMU,
where Vivian was president of
Theta Sigma Phi, honorai-y and
professional fi*atemity for wo
men, Editor of the SMU campus
paper, and a member of Zeta Phi
Eta, honorary speech society, Viv
ian became editorial assistant for
the Petroleum Engineer, oil maga
zine in Dallas. She then worked
for a cosmetic magazine, and later,
for the Southern Pharmacists Jour
nal.
Since Vivian majored in Journal
ism at SMU, and later worked on
the magazines mentioned above,
she was a “natural” to make the
position of Women’s Editor on the
Battalion a full-time job.

eyes and her dad’s blonde hair,
is happily accompanying Vivian
and Curt in their quest for the
“right place to live.” Carol Janet
joined the Castleberry klan June
23, 1949, three weeks after Viv
ian and Curt had obtained their
College View apartment. Carol
is the “happiest thing” that ever
happened to this congenial cou
ple, and usually only the best
things “happen” to them. (Who
said that people make their own
luck?)
Both Vivian and her husband
went to Athens High School. Viv
ian was in the National Honor
Society, she was president of the
Student Council, editor of the
school paper, valedictorian of her
senior class, state finalist in de
bate, and she received the DAR
Good Citizenship Award. Curt was
in the school band, but spent most
of his time (as Vivian puts it)
“tormenting the girl he later mar
ried.”
Married in Athens on May 4,
1946, these two are still as
“stuck on each other” as they were
when they passed notes in high
school. This was evidenced by
Vivian’s restless loneliness while
Curt was in the Coast Artillery
Summer camp at Fort Bliss this
Summer. Curt was commissioned
a second lieutenant at the end
of camp.
The thoughts they have about
leaving Aggieland can best be told
in Vivian’s own words:
“A&M has been a marvelous
experience, but we are glad to be
leaving. We look forward to our
new life, wherever we go. What
ever we do.
Every year we’ve lived togeth
er has been better than the
previous one. We plan to keep it
that way. We only hope what
ever we do, we can do together.”
The Castleberry’s will return in
a week or two to make their final
goodbyes, and take their “belong
ings” to their new home. Wherever
that home is, there’s no doubt that
the Castleberry’s will be smiling.
They have come through three-and-
a-half years of separation while
Curt was in the Marine Corps
cruising all over the South Pacific,
courtesy of Uncle Sam, and three
years at A&M, and “they’ve never
been licked.” As Curt said, in clos
ing, “Gig ’em, Aggies!”

Most of the U. N. personnel take

Every day two motor convoys make
the hour and a half joumey over
the bumpy, dusty road. They carry
communication personnel and
equipment and U. N. correspon
dents. Jeeps for delegates also are
included in the convoy.
About 8:30 every night, the staff
officers begin a preliminary draft
of the papers required for the next
morning’s session.
At the same time, the delegates
themselves begin reviewing steno
graphic transcriptions of the day’s
proceedings—a task which can keep
them up until the early hours of
the morning.
Then if the tents aren’t too hot
and the mosquitoes aren’t out in
full force, the delegates catch some
sleep in the quiet apple orchard
now converted into a tent city.
At 6:15 a. m., reville sounds and
another day begins.

The Last Word
Couples Dance
Slated in MSC
By PAT MORLEY
Battalion Women’s Editor
IF YOU'RE tired of sweltering in your apartment or room,
t if you want to meet other people who are tired of swelter
ing in their apartments or rooms, and if you want to really
“belong” to A&M, don’t miss the informal All-College Dance
in the air-conditioned ballroom of the MSC Friday night at
eight.
In addition to relaxing juke-box tunes, Sara Puddy and
Jack Cochrum will present a comedy skit for your diversion.
Sue and Harry Shannon, Jewell and Charlie Hodge, and Lora
and Alvin Langford will be hosts and hostesses for the af
fair. Personable Dick Van Tyne is the Dance Committee
Chairman.
For all of you who “can’t go because we have children!”
we have an answer. Let one of the many competent baby-sit
ters of College Station listen to the patter of little feet while
you trip the light fantastic Friday night.
Call on Mrs. C. H. Bates at 1010 Milner, for instance.
She has facilities for about ten children. Mrs. Barbara Zobel,
phone 6-2393, (Barbara has a lovely phone voice, incident
ally) can “sleep” about four or five children at her home.
We have it on reliable rumor that Ida Adair, 903 Jersey St.,
sometimes keeps children at her home, too.
This is not a baby-sitter column, but merely an honest
effort to assist Aggie twosomes (who are really three-or-
foursomes) have a night out, taking an active part in extra
curricular school activities. A call to your Women’s Editor at
4-5444 this week will add your name to a list either to get
a baby-sitter, or to become one.
The hosts, the hostesses, the dance chairman, the enter
tainers, Yours Truly, and, undoubtedly, Pinky Downs, will be
delighted to see a large turn-out at the All-A&M dance Fri
day night, which is not only informal—IT’S FREE!
That man with the big smile and a pocketful of cigars is Dr.
William J. Dobson, whose attractive wife, Virginia Lee, presented
him with a 7% pound son on July 26. Jack, an associate professor
in the Biology Department, will bring his family home from St.
Joseph’s Hospital to 1101 Foster Street. The young Dobson has been
named George Ray.
The Robert Nevill Muckelroy household, B-14-A College View,
gained a new member this week, too. Charles Yater, who weighed in
at St. Joseph’s at 6 pounds and 5% ounces, Sunday, July 29, will go
home with Bob and Charlie this week, Grandmother Huffaker from
Dallas will remain here for another week, or so, to “help out.” (And
possibly to “goo” at young Charles!) New-father Bob is a Range Man
agement major.

Three Aggie-Exes who are making plans for Fall wed
dings are Carlton C. Moffett, Ag. Ed ’49; Marc B. Smith
Jr., A A ’46; and Charles Perry Davis, Biol. ’49. Moffett,
who teaches in the Lancaster public schools, will marry
Nancy Jane Layman of Lancaster. Their engagement
was announced at a luncheon in the Century Room, Hotel
Adolphus, Dallas.
Debutante Martha Rryan, Kappa Kappa Gamma, a grad
uate of Finch Junior College in New York, and Texas Uni
versity-Ex, will become the bride of Marc. B. Smith, Ag
gie-Ex, who later attended the University of Texas law
school. They are both of Fort Worth.
Charles Davis, Aggie-Ex now, a junior at Baylor Medical
College in Houston, will make Ex-Tessie Lepha Jo Oates,
his bride at a service in the Little-Chapel-in-the-Woods,
in Denton. The future bride was a princess at the TSCW
Redbud Festival and a nominee for Cotton Ball Queen
at A&M. After their marriage this month they will live
in Houston.
Former Battalion City Reporter Leon McClellan, who
left for the Marines at the end of his sophomore year at A&M,
has finished “Boot” training, and will soon go overseas. He
has informed us that he is now Pfc. Leon McClellan! The
rest of his address is HMR-161 Air FMF Pacific. MCAF
Santa Ana, California. Leon wishes to make it known he’ll
appreciate mail addressed in this manner, and says he still
plans to come back to Aggieland for his senior year, when
he leaves the Marines.
Another Aggie-Ex made society headlines last week.
William O. Warriner Jr. who received his Business degree
in June, married Margaret Lou Scales of Houston. Aggies
Waymon C. Martin, Ind Ed major, and Herschel G. Maltz,
Bus major, attended Bill as groomsmen. Margaret was a
student at the University of Houston. The young couple are
at home at 7203-D Village Way, in Houston.
Little Rodney Samuels, three weeks old, in St. Joseph’s
Hospital nursery, has improved, and his parents, Wilma and
Jake, and brother Bobby plan to bring him home soon. Rod
ney, a husky T 1 /* pounder at birth was born without a soft
palate. When he is older he’ll go to a Dallas hospital where
he’ll undergo an operation to correct this. We are glad with
them over their son’s improvement and our thoughts will be
with them through the operation.
Betty and Paschal Drake and daughter, Cydnie, are moving from
B-13-A College View, to Fort Worth when Paschal gets his Master’s
Degree in Ag. Eco. in August. He has accepted a position with Swift
and Company.

(Continued from page 1)
while the Duncan booth is situat
ed on the second floor south side.
While the Duncan system has
remained relatively unchanged,
many alterations have been made
in the Sbisa system since it was
first built. The most important
changes were made in the Summer
of 1937 when two Webster 60-watt
amplifier units were installed in
addition to a modern type micro
phone.
Again the Sbisa system was re
built in the first pai-t of January
1949 and has remained relatively
unchanged since then. The addi
tion of a direct line from the stud
ios of WTAW and a 45 rpm record
player comprise the two major al
terations since that time.
For the benefit of those read
ers with electronic inclinations,
Rushing explained the operation
of the system was rather simple.
The output of either the micro
phones, or turntable pick-ups, is
fed into a four position pre-am
plifier mixer, then into a divider
amplifier, where the input signal
is further amplified and divid
ed between the two final am
plifiers that have a gain of 140
decibels.
Two fader circuits are employed
with the three pick-ups in Sbisa,
one being used on the 78-33 rpm
turntables and the other in con
nection with the 45 rpm repro
ducer. The fader circuits enable the
operator to switch from one turn
table to the other without inter-
ruption of music and the undesir
able crashing sound of the pick-up
needle on the records.
The same type of equipment is
used in Duncan as in Sbisa, and
the operation is basically the same,
but the Duncan equipment is of a
more modem design. The basic
difference between the two systems
is that Sbisa employs a 45 rpm
record player, and Duncan doesn’t,
while a radio broadcast receiver
is used in Duncan to feed desired
programs over the system and
Sbisa equipment isn’t designed for
such operation.
“At one time we fed the early
morning news of Aggieland pro
gram from WTAW over both
Sbisa and Duncan systems via
our direct line connections to
WTAW,” Rushing said, “but the
men didn’t seem to like the news
as much as music for breakfact
and it was discontinued.”
Polio

for either speedy or accurate vac
cine tests.
Another vaccine research seeks
better ways of inactivating the vir
uses whose bodies must be used to
make a vaccine. Inactive means
either to kill or to render harmless.
The trouble is the inactivators de
stroy some of the immunity sought
in the vaccine.
The old ways of inactivating are
formaldehyde and ultra-violet light.
One new way is nitrogen mustard,
the poison gas made for the last
war. Another is super-sounds, the
waves too high-pitched for human
ears. These waves kill genns.
They probably will kill viruses,
and maybe not destroy so much of
the vaccine powers.
In an effort to create new en
tertainment for the freshman in
Sbisa, Rushing once organized, di
rected and emceed a weekly var
iety show composed of various tal
ented members of the freshman
regiment. Rushing said he believed
that Don Kusick, who now is a
member of the Aggieland orches
tra, made his first Aggieland public
appearance on one of his shows.
Before we leave Club Sbisa and
the land of roast beef, Rushing
wants us all to know that if the
kind of music we hear in Sbisa
doesn’t meet With our approval,
just drop around to the sound
booth and he, or Wilson, will be
happy to hear any suggestions, as
the music is designed for the bene
fit of the students and not the
operators.
Keane Slows Down;
Picks Only 205 lbs
Harlingen, Tex., Aug. 1—UP) Ed
“Boll Weevil” Keane took it easy
yesterday—he said — weighing up
only 205 pounds of cotton toward
the bale he boasted he could pick
in a week.
Yesterday, the first day, Keane
gathered 321 pounds.
“Although I fell short by a few
pounds of the schedule set for
me by my handlers,” Keane
said, “I feel that barring unfor-
seen events I should be able to
net the bale.”
If Keane is able to get the bale
—1200 to 1400 pounds of loose
cotton—he stands to win about
$2,000 in prizes.
Thanks to his caddies — field
hands who carry his sack in for
the hourly weighing—Keane didn’t
have to move from his current pick
ing spot.
The Keane temperament was
at its best today. He would al
low no one to talk to him nor to
stand between him and the
breeze. He frequently signalled
to his handlers. One hand uprais
ed meant lemons, to quench his
thirst, another water, and two
hands meant he wanted to talk
with his managers.
Three Natchitoches, La., cotton
men drove over 1,000 miles to see
the weevil in action. They were in
troduced.
“You mean we came to see
that?"” one asked.
Girl Scout mariners set up a
soft drink stand. They did a land
office business.
A record player will be install
ed tomorrow to see if music will
up the disk jockey’s production.
J. E. McDonald, former state
agriculture commissioner, went out
to see Keane at work today.
“I once picked 600 pounds in a
day,” McDonald said.
“If you are such a good cotton
picker,” Keane said, “Maybe I

At SP Breakfast
Dr. Charles N. Shepardson, dean
of agriculture at A&M, was honor
guest at a Southern Pacific Lines
breakfast in Houston this morning
at 7:30.
The breakfast was served on a
dining car at the Southern Pa
cific station.
Several members of the A&M ag
riculture staff as well as a group
of graduate students attended the
breakfast.
could be a good agriculture com
missioner.”
The boll weevil answered crit
ics of his method of picking cot
ton at random as he strode
through the field without stoop
ing. “I did so bend over,” he
said, “I bent over twice—when
duster planes buzzed me.”
Spectators said they couldn’t tell
where he had picked and where he
hadn’t, but Keane only snorted HI 1
hadn’t contracted to clean the fiel^TV
He ate only grapes for lunl
yesterday, but today disposed of
about six sandwiches and finish^
off a quart of milk.
Keane got himself into the cotton
picking business by bragging that
he could pick a bale in a week.
Skeptics called him and put up
about $2,000 in prizes for him to
shoot at.
