Only the best music will be heard—teatiuf ing Tommy Dorsey, Tex Beneke, Guy Lombardo, and others. (Records, of course!) BIG KICK OF THE WEEK: A toddler at College View, learning Sunday school music and Aggie songs simultaneous ly, was heard singing loudly, “Onward Christian Soldiers, Hut Two Three Four!” / / r Laverne Vicari entertained her closest neighbors with a coffee Saturday morning. Guests for the informal party Cadge Fails, Norma Cavanaugh, Jewell Marshall, Edith Greiser, Frances Murphy, Dorothy Hodges, Loy Rister, and Dolores McCurdy. Laverne, an expert bridge player, won high prize at the Veterans’ Wives Bridge Club last Thursday even ing, and Norma took second honors. Jewell, president of the club, joins the winners in a cordial welcome to all vet eran students’ wives to meet “the girls” in rooms 2A and 2B of the MSC at 7:30 p. m. Thursday. A special welcome to Catherine Arrington, of A-6-A Col lege View, whose Student Wives’ Survey shows that she belonged to a bridge club at the Bryan Field Annex, but hasn’t gotten around to joining the MSC group. The club’s strictly for fun, and beginners are being taught by mes- dames E. E. McQuillen, D. W. Williams, and E. L. Angell. Refreshments are served at the meetings. Jewell advises, “park your kids with papa, and we’ll see you Thursday night!” Some lucky Aggie couples made the trek to “Big D” for the Tech game. Among the elite were CE sophomore Raymond Hampton and Jo Ann, ME senior Gene Seale and Ruby Nell, Ag. Eco. senior Bob Parker and Mary. EE junior Bob Vaughn and Yvonne, ME senior Law rence Tanner and Billie, ME senior Earl Wood and Mar gie, were also seen. Leon and Margie had such a great time, they just made a week-end of it! Speaking of big week-ends—the H. W. Barlow family painted Austin red last Saturday and Sunday. A fine high school football game was offered as the excuse, but a cute trick who marched at half-time gets our vote as the reason the Barlow boys dragged mom and dad all the way to the Land of the Teasipp'O’s. “I haff a baby thithter!” These glad tidings were lisped Monday by three-year-old Jerry Trevino, Jr., of A-l-C Col lege view. His little sister, and mother Gloria, were “just fine,” and friends report that Jerry, Sr., a sophomore dairy husbandry major, is gaing to “pull through,” too. St. Joseph’s hospital attendants report the birth of a baby boy to Capt. and Mrs. James C. Dunn, stationed with BAFB and living at 1204 Marsteller.

Collins of Bryan, holder of a BS degree in industrial education from A&M, has joined the staff of the American Institute School of Baking, Chicago, as an instructor in the maintenance and repair of bakery equipment. Collins has been associated with the baking industry since 1927, both as a civilian employee and owner and as a baker in the navy. He began his baking career working part time and during the summer vacation with the Mar shall Baking Company in his home town of Marshall, Mo. In 1935 he went to the Weber Baking Com pany in Los Angeles, where he re mained seven years, serving in a variety of jobs. After returning from 22 months overseas service in the South Pa cific, Collins was stationed at the naval air station, Kingsville, as boker-in-charge. For two years fol lowing his release from service, he owned and operated the Collins Bakery at Hearne. More recently, Collins has been coordinator of In dustrial Cooperative Training at Seguin High, School, Seguin, Texas. Series of Meets For Local Church Featuring a different speaker each evening, the A&M Church of Christ will conduct a four-night series of gospel meetings, begin ning Sunday. Students of A&M will conduct the devotional part of each meeting. Leon Locke, Hungerford, will be the guest speaker Sunday at 10:45 a. m. and at 7:15 p. m. His subject will be “The Character of Caleb,” and “The Mission of the Church.” Tex Williajns, ex-Aggie now with the Boles Orphan Home, Quinlan, will discuss Monday night “Christ ian Benevolence.” Wyatt Sawyer, Evangelist of the Madisonville Church of Christ, will address the Tuesday evening au dience on “The Mistakes of Jesus.” Closing the series Wednesday evening at 7:15, Dr. E. W. McMil lan, president of the Southwestern Christian College, will consider “The Undertones About Us.” At a special 8:30 p. m. meeting, Dr. Mc Millan will address all interested persons about the work of Christ ian education among the colored SWC Picture (Continued from Page 3) overran Purdue 14-0 in their sec ond game of the year. The Long horns now stand as sixth in the national ratings, while the Aggies have dropped to tenth. Baylor has played one game, de feating the University of Houston 19-0. In pre-season polls they plac ed in the top ten, but they have only seen action in one meeting. This accounts for their drop to number 19. Larry Isbell is the big cog for the Bears, and without him, they would find themselves fighting it out with Rice for low man on the pole. SMU also has a winning team with their ever threatening pass ing attack. Fred Benners is the Mustang wheel with his whip-like right arm. He set a record of al most impossible proportions with 21 connections out of 29 tries for 211 yards against Ohio State last Saturday. However the Mustangs don’t pose much of a threat to the Aggies since the Cadets have a pass defense—and it’s a good one. At is looks now, Baylor and Texas will be the toughest games, but the Cadets should clear both these hurdles if they click on those days like they have shown every one they can.

A. Van Tassel and John Manthei, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Manthei, were chosen Junior Class favorites at A&M Consolidated High School recently. Great Britain Corners Washington, Oct. 3—OP)—Sena- | tor Benton (D-Conn) suggested yesterday that “economic threats and reprisals” against the South might be considered in the senate campaign for civil rights legisla tion, but he hastened to add that he did not advocate such a course. Benton’s suggestion aroused the ire of senators from he Southern states and won no immediate sup port from friends of civil rights legislation. Senator Underwood (D-Ky) told reporters “there is no North and South legislation,” while Senator McClellan (D-Ark) warned “that’s ! something that can cut two ways.” There was sharper language from other Southerners who wouldn’t be quoted. Presiding at a meeting of t h e Senate Rules Committee, Benton denounced Southern-led filibusters Marshall Aid to Europe Of the billions the United States has spent for Marshall Plan aid to Europe through the EGA (Eco nomic Cooperation Administra tion), England has taken the lion’s share, according to R. L. Elkins, who addressed the College Sta tion Kiwanis Club yesterday. Speaking on the EGA program, Elkins said England has received more than double the amount spent in other European countries. Elkins, a proiessor of business administration at A&M, was in England last year as assistant chief, Food and Agriculture Divi sion of EGA to England. He was given a leave of absence from the college. (Continued from Page 1) brought this about sooner than either of the two had anticipated. In January 1946, when Miller was lost in action, Beneke was asked to carry on the band. With the permission of Mrs. Miller,' many of the original Miller ar rangements were adopted and the reorganized band began a series of whirlwind performances over the country. Their first engagement at the Capitol theater in New York was such a success that they broke every box office record in the 26 year history of the theater. After the first year of touring the countryy, the billing of the band was changed from “The Glenn Miller Band with Tex Beneke” to “Tex Beneke and his Orchestra.” Beneke was born Gordon Lee Beneke in Fort Worth, Feb. 14, 1914. By the time he was nine, the orchestra leader was greatly interested in music, and he per suaded his parents to buy him a saxophone. When he was 13, he played in the school ROTC band and later former a trio which included Ben Hogan on the drums. A year later he bought a clarinet, but didn’t have time to take lessons, so he developed his own finger system, which he still uses. Appearing as featured perform ers for the Town Hall concert will be vocalists Shirley Wilson and Bill Raymond. The professor said the money had been spent by the British im proving roads, and farms, and buying such items as tractors which England hopes to utilize in increasing fram production. In contrast to Fulton Lewis, Jr. who returned from his vacation in England bitterly reproaching the British for using American dollars to live a life of Riley, Elkins found the people hard working. Following his talk, Elkins was asked whether he thought the bil lions the United States is spend ing for EGA can continue indefin itely. He answered that there was a possibility the American people could not maintain the heavy tax burden much longer. The speaker justified aid to Eng land on the grounds that it was necessary to protect the United States from the threat of Com munism. He said if England fell a victim to Communism, Europe would fall. Speaking of the Royal Family, Elkins said the King and Queen were an essential part of British tradition. He doubted that the Brit ish would ever economize on that angle. McNeely Chairman Kiwanis Troop 102 Dr. John G. McNeely Monday was elected chairman of the Troop Committee of Boy Scout Troop 102 of College Station. He succeeds George W. Litton who has been acting chairman since the transfer from the Texas A&M College of Colonel Walter H. Parsons. E. E. Ivy was named the repre sentative of the Kiwanis Club of College Station, which sponsors Troop 102, on the board of the Brazos District, Boy Scouts of America. He succeeds C. A. Bon- nen. New members added to 102’s Troop Committee include Ivy, Dr. Roy L. Donahue, Dr. J. R. Couch, H. A. Luther and I. H. Lloyd. Holdover members are McNeely, Litton, Carl Birdwell, Walter A.

Initial meeting. which have blocked votes on civil rights bills in the past and sug gested those who support the bills “take a very long look at appro priations bills affecting the South ern states.” Later Benton said he meant his remarks to be part of a listing of “all possible approaches to getting the Senate filibuster rule changed and pushing through some civil rights legislation. The senate rule requires a vote of at least 64 members, or two- thirds of the whole senate, to im pose a limitation on debate and thus gag filibusters. Senator Leh man (D-Lih-NY) said the rule in its present form is “a plain pre scription for potential legislative paralysis.” “I dare say that no parliamen tary body on earth has such a des potic, such a self - perpetuating rule,” Lehman added. Among other approaches sugges ted by Benton were a court test of WSCS Invited To Special Services The A&M Methodist Women’s Society of Christian Service met Monday , at 7:45 p. m., with Mrs. Kenneth R. Bailey and Mrs. L. J. Horn sharing hostess duties. Mrs. Jack Keese gave a devotion al, using Helen Keller’s inspira tional “Three Days to See” as her theme. Mrs. Gordon Gay and Mrs. Paul Van Tassel discussed ’’Christ ian Missions and Human Rights.” A business meeting, conducted by Mrs. Clinton S. Walker, presi dent of the WSCS, followed the program. Emphasis was placed up on the special services which will be held in the A&M Methodist Church nightly from October 6 until the 14th. These services are in cooperation with the All-Texas Methodist Evangelistic Advance. The Rev. Marvin L. Boyd, District Superin tendent from Planvied, will direct the meeetiings. After the business meetin, Mrs. Clinton Walker poured and Mrs. Bob Weddle served cake from a table decorated with a centerpiece of fall fruits and yellow crysanthe- mums.

Without steps “other than per suasion,” Benton told Senator Humphrey (D-Minn), “I don’t be lieve you’ve got a chance.” Hum phrey is leading the move to ^ change the rule.
