The Last Word
Put Junior to Bed,
Take Wife Dancing
By Pat Morley
Press your glad rags, and call a baby-sitter to take care
of Junior! It’s dance-time at the MSC Saturday night after
the OU game.
Tickets for the two-hour affair are only 50 cents, couple
or stag. The gates will be thrown wide to the Assembly

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!”

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.

Bakery Operation
Junior Favorites
Charles R. 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

ian education among the colored

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.

Economic Threats May Face
South In Civil Rights Fight
Barbara Van Tassel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. 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.

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

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

Here It Is, Men!
Two weeks ago we thanked you for the fine job you did
in getting your high school friends to enroll in A&M this fall.
We complimented you on carrying out your task like a true
Aggie. And we told you then that a new job awaited.
So Get Busy!
This is your new job—an extension of your former one.
It is to get the word about A&M to those of your friends who
will be graduated from high school in January. It’s to their
advantage to come to A&M; it’s to your advantage as well as
theirs to have your friends here with you.
A New Job In Order
Yes, get busy! Invite your friends down to Aggieland for
the weekend, to attend a football game with you. Take them
to yell practice; give them a meal in the mess hall. Show how
that Aggie spirit is formed and how it welds together the stu
dent body. . . . Then they’ll want to attend A&M. And you’ll
\
both benefit.
