Chandler Praises Reception

By ALLEN K. PENGELLY
Battalion Assistant News Editor
“Without a doubt, this reception,
is the greatest and warmest wel
come we have thus far received on
our tour,” exclaimed Jeff Chand
ler, movie star and member of the
“Movietime USA” troupe which
visited A&M yesterday.
“I still can’t get over how en-

Open House
An open house and air show,
sponsored by the Air Force, will
be held Sunday afternoon at Bryan
Air Force Base.
Beginning at 2 p. m. and lasting
approximately an hour and a half,
the open house is for- all residents
of the Brazos County area. In
cluded in the show will be a com
plete line of exhibits of latest Air
Force equipment and material plus
a cut-away model of an aircraft
jet engine.
Working demonstration models
of fuel line systems, hydraulic sys
tems, and other such training in
struments will be open to the view
■ of the public.
To open the day’s program, sev
eral short speeches by Lt. Gen.
Robert W. Harper, Maj. Gen. War
ren Carter, and Col James C. Mc-
Gehee, BAFB commander, will be
made
A scroll will be presented to the
outstanding cadet of the base.
Concluding the short program will
be the presentation of a scale
model airplane to Linda Lynch,
Bryan school girl who wrote the
best essay concerning reactivation
of the air base.
Three of the latest type military
training aircraft, one a jet, will
be on exhibit. These aircraft will
later in the afternoon put on
air show for the visitors.
thusiastic all the boys were on
our arrival. Of course, I’m sure
the cadets were more interested
in the girls of the cast but they
still extended the traditional
A&M hospitality and friendli
ness that all Texans are noted
for.”
That was how Chandler, star of
“Broken Arrow” and “Iron Man”
and his wife expressed their thanks
to the A&M Cadet Corps.
The members of “Movietime
USA” arrived yesterday afternoon
at the MSC at 4:15 p. m. After a
short rest at the Center, they
formed a motorcade and went to
downtown Bryan for a short per
formance there.
Arriving back at the Corps area,
the actors witnessed the full dress
retreat formation and review.
Hit of the cast was Keenan
Wynn who, upon entering the
dining hall, seized one of the
waiters trays and began running
down the aisle. Unknown to
Wynn at the time was that he
was spilling mashed potatoes
down the back of his suit.
After the cadets had assembled,
the troupe, under the leadership
of John Wayne, all hit a hump and
gave an Aggie yell.
Jessie Lasky, long time Holly
wood producer whose latest pro
duction was “The Great Caruso,”
made a startling announcement to
the cadets.”
“The title of my next picture
is The Big Brass Band,” said
Lasky, “And after seeing your
band perform tonight at retreat,
I’m going to try to make ar
rangements for the Texas Aggie
Band to have a role in the pic
ture.”
Lasky has been rated on the
same level as Cecil B. DeMille and
John Ford because of the success
es he’s had in producing top-grade
movies.
A near riot started when the
“Golden Circle Girls,” five young
actresses who are just beginning
their career in the movies, got up
to speak.
Because the performance in the
dining hall was longer than ex
pected, the stars were unable to
attend the freshman football game
as was anticipated. Their next
scheduled performance was in
Waco last night at 10 p. m. so they
boarded the chartered bus after
supper and left immediately.
Members of the Association of
Governing Boards of State Uni
versities and Allied Institutions
wind up their meetings on the
] A&M campus today and move on
to Austin and Texas University
tomorrow where sessions will con
tinue.
Dr. E. R. Guthrie, executive of
ficer in charge of academic per
sonnel at the University of Wash
ington, spoke during the meetings
here yesterday.
“There is no successful teaching
without 'active participation by
students,” said Dr. Guthrie.
Speaking on the “Evaluation of
Counseling and Teaching,” Dr.
Guthrie said that teaching is a
cooperative project between the
students and teacher.
“Students are definitely able to
evaluate certain aspects of teach
ing and students are perfectly
capable of judging whether or not
they have been led or driven to
the active participation which
teaching must produce,” Dr. Guth
rie explained.
Teaching Is Principal Function
Although teaching is the prin
cipal function of nearly all in
stitutions of learning, Dr. Guth
rie explained that few institutions
make any systematic effort to
evaluate their performance.
“Almost no colleges or univer
sities select their teachers in the
first place for the ability to teach
and beginning instructors are se
lected for their training and capa
city for research instead,” Dr.
Guthrie said.
The eighth official session open
ed today’s meeting of the associa
tion with a panel discussion on
“The Problems of Medical Edu
cation.’
Speakers for the morning pro
gram were Dr. Francis R. Manlove,
associate secretary of the Ameri
can Medical Association; and Dr.
Franklin D. Murphy, dean and
chancellor-elect of the University
of Kansas.

and words, he directed the drivers
to park that-a-way.
Mildly, one driver said after-
much effort to get in the parking

MSC Council OKs
Funds for Activities
The Memorial Student Center
Council last night approved a bud
get of $4,379.47 for the use of the
social and educational activities of
the center.
This money was appropriated to
the council by the MSC Governing
Board. The board during the sum
mer gave the council $6,000 to al
locate to the members committees
of the directorate.
The largest single amount ap
proved was to the Browsing Li
brary Committee. After an ex
planation of the committee’s plans
for the coming year the council
approved their budget of $787.
This money will be spent to buy
books, magazines, and periodicals.
To provide money for such things
as Student-Faculty coffees, the
House committee was given $785
by the council. Money from this
fund will also go toward buying
decorations for the center for use
during the holidays. During the
explanation of the activities, Dan
Davis, president of the MSC Coun
cil, told of the planned open house
activities.
Approval of the money to the
13 groups took two council meet
ings. Each item in the proposed
budget, drawn up by Davis and J.
Wayne Stark, director, with the
help of the committee members,
w r as explained.
A general allotment of $651 was
given to the Directorate. This

Yanks Capture
Important Hill
From Chinese
U. S. 8th Army Headquar
ters, Korea, Oct. 12 — (H 5 ) —
Bloody bayonets of American
and French infantrymen to
day cleared the Reds off the
last peak of Heartbreak Ridge, cli
maxing the longest and most costly
hill battle of the Korean war.
Fierce fighting continued on the
northern slope below the crest. U.
S. 8th Army officers referred to it
as ^mopping up.”
The Allies captured two other
nearby peaks in the Eastern Kore
an mountains.
Along the western front Chinese
Reds hurled three attacks at the
United Nations line. Two were
beaten back.
The third forced elements of the
withdraw. The pullback was in
the Yonchon sector, roughly 25
m i 1 e s northeast of Panmunjom
where Red and U.N. liaison officers
were reported near agreement on
reopening truce talks.
Allied war planes were out in
force Friday. Land-based planes
mounted 1,045 sorties Thursday,
the highest number in four months.
Four carriers sent their planes
tloft, including 90 sorties off the
Australian escort carrier Sydney.
The Navy said this was possibly a
record for an escort carrier.
All battle action was overshad
owed by the capture of the north
ernmost peak of Heartbreak Ridge.
A little band of haggard French
men and Americans seized it in a
night long attack. At 8 a.m. they
stood looking across the . crest at
the climax of 31 days of incredible
fighing for Heartbreak Ridge.
Dr. Joe R. Motheral, department
of agricultural economics and soc
iology, left Wednesday for Madi
son, Wis., where he will participate
in the World Conference on Land
Tenure Problems.
The conference, regarded as a
counter-punch to Communist pro
paganda efforts among the farm
people of the world, began Oct.
7 and will continue for six weeks.
As one of the seven members of
the planning committee for the
US, Dr. Motheral will direct a
workshop session on research meth-
Kruse Elected
As Chairman
Of Ag Council
Howard Kruse, president of
of the Kream and Kow Klub,
was elected chairman of the
Agricultural Council last
night at a meeting held in the
MSC.
The council, representing 14 ag
ricultural organizations on the
campus, named Ed Daniels vice-
chairman and Billy Bates secretary
treasurer. Daniels is president of
the agronomy society and Bates is
president of the horticulture soc
iety. L. O. Tiedt, ag journalism
student from La Grange, was se
lected reporter.
The group voted to ammend a
section of the council’s constitution
pertaining to membership. The re
vised section will read as follows:
“ . . . Membership in the Agricul
tural Council will be composed of
the president of an agricultural
society plus one representattive se
lected by the club.”
Three representatives to the In
ner-Council will be elected by the
council at its next meeting, Nov.
14.
San Antonio Aggies Plan
Dance at Club Seven Oaks
The San Antonio A&M Club will
sponsor a dance at the Club Seven
Oaks in San Antonio immediately
following the A&M-Trinity foot
ball game.
“I’ve made arrangements with
the night club manager to have
adequate tables at the dance this
year,” said Club President Tom
Stephens. Last year, many coup
les were unable to gain admission
to the dance because of the crowd.
“Club Seven Oaks is the largest
night spot in San Antonio and it
will be open exclusively for the
A&M students, exes, and their
dates,” continued Stephens.
“Pre-dance ticket sales were very
promising,” asserted the club pres
ident, “but tickets will still be sold
at the door. There will be room
for everyone t*his year.”
Admission to the dance is $1.25
per person and Cliff Gillette and
his orchestra will supply music
for the dance.
Planning Corps Trip
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports News Editor
“We play one game at a time and we play that game to
win it,” said Coach Ray George of the nationally rated
fourth place Aggies.
He was refering to the tilt tomorrow night when the
Tigers of Trinity University play host to the Cadets in Ala
mo Stadium in San Antonio.
“The team is in good shape and will be ready to go with
the exception of Billy Tidwell,” reported Bill Dayton, head
trainer.”
Tidwell was injured in the Oklahoma University game
last Saturday night when the Aggie eleven upset the power
ful 1950 championship team, 14-7. He will be absent from his
Fhalfback spot against Trinity but
is expected to see action again
next week in the TCU game.
With a one win and two loss,
the Tigers will be the underdogs
to the Aggies who have a three
win and no loss record.
However, outside predictions,
such as the Houston Aggie News,
have asserted that the Trinity
clash will be nothing short of a
catastrophe. The reliability of this
statement Is backed by the fact
that predictions coming from this
paper have a perfect record so
far.
Familiar Powerhouse Backfield
The familiar powerhouse back-
field of the Aggies will once more
line up for the Maroon and White.
Dick Gardemal and Ray Graves
will call the signals tomorrow night
and do the passing for the areial
attack of the Cadets.
Glenn Lippman, leading ground
gainer of the SWC and UP back of
the week will handle the ball car
rying chores for the Aggies along
with All-American Bob Smith.
Rounding out the backfield will
probably be Charlie McDonald re
placing Tidwell. McDonald has
been a stand-out on defensive as
well as offensive work.
Jack Little, recently named line
man of the week by the Associat
ed Press, will throw his 220 pounds
of grid-dynamite into the right
tackle spot for the Aggies.
Little is one of the iron men of
football. He opens the holes on
offense and closes them up on de
fense.
Moses Is Stalwart
At the other offensive tackle,
will be Sam Moses, a 220 pound
stalwart from Lockhart, Texas.
Sam is another of the double
duty men, as he sees a lot of ac
tion on the defensive eleven.
Hugh “Gar” Meyer places his
200 pounds in as a 60-minute man,
centering on offense and lineback
ing on defense.
At the left guard will be Elo
Nohavitza and at right guard, W.
T. Rush. On the defensive lineup
is Alvin Langford at right guard
and W. T. Rush at left guard.
Sam Sanchez, San Antonio jun
ior who stands 6 ft. 2 inches tall
and weighs in at an even 200
pounds, will carry a large majority
of the Tiger’s buidens tomorrow
night at his end spot.
Setting a record of 385 yards for
19 snatches, Sanchez is rated the
“best blocker on the team,” and
will be relied on to set an even
better record this year.
Senior Powerhouse
A 22 year old Senior will fill
in the backfield power with 210
pounds and a frame of 6 ft. 2 in
ches. It will be Francis Meyer at
fullback to lend his driving weight
to the Tiger backfield.
Glenn Scallorn, another Trinity
Senior, will be running at block
ing back and calling signals for
the Tigers. Scallorn it 5 ft. IT
inches tall and weighs in at 182
pounds.
ods durinng the week beginning
Oct. 15.
Fifty nations, all outside the
Iron Curtain, are represented by
75 delegates, 25 of whom will re
main in the US after the formal
conference for a year of advanced
study at various colleges and uni
versities. Two weeks of the six-
week session will be spent in tra
veling to rural areas of the Uni
ted States for a first-hand view
of the American system of land
tenure.
“The World Conference is a
meeting of scholars who have a
common interest in problems asso
ciated with land and landhold
ings,” said Dr. Motheral. “It will
take no ‘action’ a,s such, but it will
provide a forum for exchanging
ideas and experiences between na
tions which conceivably could lead
to voluntary action within the
countries represented at the con-
fereneci”
The impetus for the meeting, the
agricultural economist explained,
undoubtedly comes from Russia’s
successful attempts to win friends
among peasant farmers by promis
ing to redistribute the land in coun
tries that come under her domina
tion. He cited China as the most
recent example of the power of
land reform as a weapon in ideal-
ogical warfare.
Communism Thrives
“There is abundant evidence to
demonstrate that Communism'
thrives on agrarian unrest,” said
Dr. Motheral. “The obvious answer
is to remove the causes of discon
tent, and to do that requires study
and understanding of the problem,
all of which explains the pur
pose of the program at Madison.”
Sponsored cooperatively by the
ECA, the State Department, De
partment of Agriculture and the
University of Wisconsin, the con
ference follows the US policy of
countering Russian lies with fac
tual information.
Making plans for the bi-annual TCU Corps Trip
in Fort Worth are these corps officials and the
president of Fort Worth’s A&M Club. Meeting
in the council chamber of the City Hall, the
men are, from left to right, Buddy Burch, com
mander of the consolidated band; Bill Turner,
corps operations officer, S. J. Baker, Fort Worth
Former Students Association president, and Eric
Carlson, cadet colonel of the corps.
Grass Planted
On Golf Course
Planting of rye winter grass
will begin on the tees, greens,
and fairways of the college
golf course within the next 10
days, according to Joe G.
Fagan, manager. “However, the
course is in good condition in spite
of the dry summer.
“Some of the grass on the fair
ways died, but the greens are in
good shape”, Fagan said.
An average of 60 people a day
have been using the course since
September. Weekends are the
most popular time.
The fee for one round is 50 cents
for students, 75 cents for faculty
members and ex-students, and
$1.00 for all others.
A subscription plan for those
who play often is offered. For
$7.50 a semester, a student can
play as many times as he wants
to. Faculty members can get the
same arrangement by paying $38
annually.
Golf clubs may be rented from
the school for 50 cents per day,
Fagan concluded.
J. E. Tabors Establish
$200 Architecture Aid
Mr. and Mrs. J. Rodney Tabor
of Houston have established an an
nual award of $200 to encoui’age,
reward or assist students of archi
tecture at A&M.
The award will be administered
by the head of the architecture
department.
A 1906 graduate of A&M, Tabor
has practiced architecture in Hous
ton for many years.
Dallas Aggies Elect
Lincecmn President
Bob E. Lincecum, senior busi
ness major, was elected president
