rating as one of the most out
standing concert singers of all
times before a capacity crowd in

After the concert, which mark
ed her second appearance at A&M,
Miss Stevens said it was one of
the warmest and most wonderful
audiences she had ever sang for.
The audience’s appreciation for
Miss Stevens’ performance could
easily be seen last night when she
was called upon for four encores
and over a dozen curtain calls.
Starts Classical
Assisted by Brooks Smith at the
piano, Miss Stevens opened her
performance with two classical
numbers, “He Shall Feed H i s

Shepardson At
Land Grant Meet
Dean C. N. Shepardson, dean of
the A&M School of Agriculture, is
in Lafayette, Ind., to attend a
meeting of an Association of Land
Grant Colleges sub-committee, of
which he is chairman.
The sub-committee deals with
standards for institutional training
of vocational agriculture teachers
and acceptance of transfer credits
in agriculture by land grant col
leges.
While in Indiana, he will address
the annual banquet of the State
Poultry Association of Indiana,
Inc., at Purdue University Friday
night on “Some Trends in Modern
Agriculture.”
Flock” from “The Messiah” and
“II est doux, il est bon” from “Her-
odiade.”
Changing the tempo, and the
musical mood of the audience as
well, Miss Stevens sang three well-
known Negro spirituals: “Oh, What
a Beautiful City,” “My Good Lord
Done Been Here,” and “Were You
There.” In singing the latter, she
held complete control over an ap
preciative audience, which is ap
operatic achievement she has es
tablished while singing spirituals.
Putting herself in the mood of
each song, and appearing to sing
with emotional feeling, Miss Stev
ens displayed her operatic ability
with ease in singing Schuberts
‘G r e t c h e n am S p i n n r a d e,”
Strauss’s “Heimkehr” and “0 lieb-
liche Wangen” by Brahms.
Playing three piano solos, Smith
captured the audience’s praise with
“Variations in A Major” by Mo
zart, “Romanze in F Sharp Major”
by Schumann and Rachmaninoff’s
Prelude in B Flat Major.”
Classical Folk Songs
Truly an outstanding artist in
the classical field, Miss Stevens re
ceived high praise from the aud
ience for her folk-song renditions
as well. She showed great con
trast in mood and tempo when she
sang the American folk-song, “The
Lonesome Grove” and “A Bally-
nure Ballad,” an Irish folk-song.
Singing excerpts from “C a r-
men”, Miss Stevens concluded her
program with “Gypsy Song”, only
to be called back by the pleased
audience for four encores, which
included “Look Edwin,” “I’m Fall
ing in Love With Someone.” “Be
cause,” and “My Hero,” which was
the request of a member of t h e
audience.
After a concert at Oxford
College, Jackson, Miss., Miss Stev
ens will return to New York for a
visit with her family before con
tinuing her tour.

In Suez Canal Zone

Cairo, Egypt, Oct. 17—CP)—Brit
ish troops mobilized yesterday to
combat rioting in the Suez Canal
area, from which Egypt seeks to
oust them, and 17 persons were re
ported killed.
Britain announced that reinforce
ments are on the way.
Egypt too was reported sending
in troops and police—to preserve
order by account of the pro-govern
ment newspaper A1 Balagh.
Unconfirmed advices said six
Egyptian troop .trains have headed
for Ismailia, the British headquar
ters city at the center of the canal
70 miles northeast of Cairo, where
looting of British canteen set off
widespread disorders.
The British commander, Lt. Gen.
George Erskine, told his detach
ments in a broadcast, “We are
not going to be turned out, forced
out or knocked out” of the canal
area.
“We are not looking for trouble,”
he said, “but we shall deal with
it quite firmly if we meet it.”
In London, the British Foreign
Office announced the fresh troops
are being sent “as a necessary
precaution” to the Suez garrison—
estimated to total 40,000 men and
400 planes.
It was not disclosed what units
are involved, but the Kith Inde
pendent Airborne Brigade of 4,000
men is less than 300 miles away
on the Mediterranean island of
Cypress.
Band Salutes TCU,
TSCW Saturday
The Texas Aggie Band will be
gin the halftime ceremonies at
the TCU-A&M football game in
Fort Worth Saturday afternoon
with its 170-piece marching band,
executing another of its military
drills.
The military drill by the band
this weekend will be its second
time to drill before an audience of
North Texans this fall. This drill
will honor A&M’s sister school,
TSCW, and will also honor A&M’s
first Southwest Conference foot
ball opponent this year, TCU.
The A&M Band, under the di
rection of Lt. Col. E. V. Adams,
will be led on the field by the con
solidated band drum major, Cadet
Major, J. W. Rogers of Texar
kana; Maroon Band drum major,
Cadet Captain R. L. Robinson of
Gladewater; and White Band drum
major, Cadet Captain G. C. Elli-
sor Jr. of Dallas.
Arkansas Governor Orders
Porkers To Defeat TU
Little rock, Ark., Oct. 17—CP)—
Gov. Sid McMath and the president
of the University of Arkansas
yesterday issued proclamations or
dering Arkansas to perform a foot
ball trick it hasn’t done in 13 years
—beat the Texas Longhorns.
The Razorbacks will be hosts to
Texas, the nation’s fourth ranking
team, at Fayetteville Saturday.
Taking cognizance of Arkansas’
long victory drouth in this South
west Conference series, the gov
ernor and University President
Lewis Webster Jones proclaimed
this as “Beat Texas Week.”
Governor McMath—an Arkansas
Alumnus—went on to “order, bid,
enjoin, direct, charge and command
the Arkansas Razorbacks to fill
themselves on wild acorns—of
which we have a fine crop—and
proceed to de-horn the Texas Long
horns, individually and collectively,
and to tie each of their tails in a
running bowline.”
The governor observed that 13
is an unlucky number—“for Long
horns.”
Dr. Jones, proclamation, his first
in the five years he has headed
Arkansas, declared that “the Long
horns are in danger and other foot
ball teams and for the good of their
souls should taste defeat now and
then.”
Dr. Jones, a staunch football en
thusiast who leaves soon to be
come president of Rutgers, called
upon the student body and fans
throughout the state for full sup
port of the twice-victorious, twice
beaten Razorbacks against the un
defeated, untied Steers.
Some of the largest pep rallies
in Arkansas history are planned
on the Fayetteville campus, and
civic clubs of Little Rock, Fort
Smith and other cities are wiring
messages of encouragement to Raz-
orback captains Dave Hanners and
Pat Summerall.
However, all this pre-game pep
is not expected to be productive.
The experts, almost to a man, are
picking the Longhorns to make
their 1951 conference opening a
successful one.
•
Austin, Tex., Oct. 17—ffl*)—Gov.
Allan Shivers, a loyal Texas alum
nus, was unperturbed yesterday
when Arkansas Gov. Sid McMath
ordered the University of Arkansas
to defeat the Texas Longhom foot
ballers this coming Saturday.
“I am referring the entire mat
ter to (coach) Ed Price and the
Texas Longhorns for appropriate
action,” the Texas governor said,
adding:
“I am confident they will handle
this transaction with the same ef
ficiency that marked their recent
dealings with the states of Ken
tucky, Indiana, North Carolina, and
Oklahoma.”
Texas has beaten Kentucky, 7-6;
Purdue, 14-0; North Carolina, 45-
20; and Oklahoma, 9-7.
The drill, which will be the
fourth done by the Aggie Band
this fall, will begin with the band
forming a single rank consisting
of 170 men on the east side of the
playing field in the TCU Stadium.
By executing a single rank, min
strel turn and a catch up type of
countermarch, the Band will as
sume a reversed formation, march
ing south down the field playing
the Aggie War Hymn.
To move into the normal forma
tion, the band will then do a “lost
time’ countermarch followed by
a “fold-in” type of countermarch.
From regular formation the band
will honor TCU by forming FROGS
and playing TCU’s fight song.
Then the band will salute the
A&M Cadet Corps by forming AG
GIES to the tune of “Wildcat.”
The formation of TESSIE will fol
low and the Band will play TSCW’s
Alma Mater in a salute to A&M’s
sister school.
Next a salute to the 1951-52
Aggie Sweetheart, Wanda Harris,
will be done by forming WANDA
to the tune of “Let Me Call You
Sweetheart.”
While the Band is playing, Cadet
Colonel of the Corps Eric Carlson
will escort Miss Harris on the
field and bestow the customary
kiss annually given the Aggie
Sweetheart at half time of the
TSCW Corps Trip football game.
The band will conclude their
half time performance by march
ing off the field holding intact
the letters WANDA.
Tessies Ready For
Annual Corps Trip
YMCA Distributes Songs
The YMCA today began distri
buting 5,000 copies of the TSCW
Alma Mater which will be sung at
half-time in the A&M-TCU foot
ball game Saturday, C. L. Ray,
president of the YMCA Cabinet,
said.
The Welcoming Committee of
the Student Senate returned Mon
day night from Denton after map
ping out final plans for the Fort
Worth Corps Trip with TSCW
student leaders.
The Aggie welcoming group con
sisted of Tom Poynor, welcoming
committee chairman; Hansel Ken
nedy, Baxter Honeycutt, Frank
Morris, Grady Smallwood, and Don
Young. The group talked to Dean
Mary Hufford, dean of women at
TSCW, and Mary Beard, student
government president. Monday af
ternoon a meeting was held with
the entire TSCW student council.
Dance at Tessie
The Corps Trip weekend will
officially start at TSCW Friday
night with an all-college dance
from 9 to 12. All Aggies are in
vited to this dance, Poynor said.
Hostess gi’oups at the dance and
in each dormitory will obtain dates
for students desiring them.
Approximately 400 Aggies can
be accomodated in the TSCW hous
ing facilities on Friday and Sat
urday night. Those students wish
ing to have places to stay for these
nights at TSCW may go to Sayers
Hall on the TSCW campus and
will receive room assignments
there, Poynor explained.
Bus to Fort Worth
Bus transportation will be avail
able Saturday morning from Den
ton to take Aggies and their dates
to Fort Worth in time for the
parade. These buses will leave
Denton between 7 and 8 Saturday
morning and will arrive in Fort
Worth by 9.
The Tessies will maintain head
quarters in Fort Worth at the
Texas Hotel in Parlor A on the
mezzanine floor. Aggies who wish
to get dates after they arrive in
Fort Worth should check there,
Poynor urged.
Guest rooms at Denton will cost
$1 per night and an early Satur
day morning breakfast from 6-7
a. m. will be served in Hubbard
Hall for 40 cents a person. Buses
will leave following breakfast.
Bus tickets from Denton to Fort
Worth cost $1 and will be' sold at
the all-college dance on Friday
night.
Plenty of Dates
Girls who stay at TSCW Sat
urday night will be allowed to stay
out until 2 a. m. so that they may
attend late parties in Fort Worth.
“The TSCW student leaders urg
ed all Aggies to come to the Fii-
day night dance and promised plen
ty of dates would be available for
students who come there stag,”
Poynor said.
Egyptian officials announced
that decrees to remove the British
from the Suez Canal and the Ang-
lo-Egyptian Sudan will be distri
buted in The Official Gazette Wed
nesday under date of Oct. 16. The
decrees become law when printed in
the Gazette.
A wildly cheering parliament un
animously approved last night leg
islation abrogating the 1936 treaty
of alliance under which Britain
garrisons the canal and the 1899
pact providing for joint British
and Egyptian rule of the cotton
growing Sudan.
Air Mail Arrives
Day After Mailing
Letters sent by air mail fi*om
College Station to other Texas
points now arrive at their destina
tion the day after mailing, accord
ing to F. L. Ethridge, district sup
erintendent of the Postal Trans
portation Service.
Air mail postage is six cent an
ounce.
Letters must be mailed from
College Station before noon to ar
rive in time to make regular house
deliveries.
Pioneer Air lines now has six
mail-carrying flights a day through
A&M’s Easterwood airport. Most
of the flights are to North and
West Texas.
Towns around Houston, Dallas,
El Paso, Austin, San Angelo, Am
arillo, San Antonio, and the Valley
area are especially benefitted by
this service, Bthridge said.
However, a town does not have
to have a scheduled air service to
get next day air mail delivery.
Good connection with surface car
riers is made in almost all cases,
Ethridge said.
Tonight parliament unanimous
ly indorsed a decree changing King
Farouk’s title to “King of Egypt
and Sudan” and stating that pro
visions of the Egyptian constitu
tion apply henceforth to Sudan
also.
Britain has announced that she
will stand on her full rights under
the treaties and will not recognize
a one-sided cancellation.
The Egyptian actions, linked to
official rejection of an invitation
to Egypt from the United States,
Britain, France and Turkey to join
them in a Middle East defense com
mand, drew demonstrations of pop
ular approval in Cairo, Alexandria
and other cities, despite a govern
ment ban on such demonstrations.
Steel-helmeted police guarded
western embassies.
Outbreak Along Canal
Dispatches to Cairo newspapers
told of the outbreaks of rioting and
looting at British-occupied areas
on the canal, a 100-mile long wat
erway linking the Mediterranean
and the Red Sea.
Five persons were reported kill
ed and 20 injured in rioting; at
Port Said, on the Mediterranean.
The newspaper A1 Balagh said
10 Egyptians and two Britons were
killed and 80 Egyptians and one
Briton wounded in the rioting at
Ismailia.
General Erskine did not refer to
bloodshed in his broadcast, but
said “We shall resist most strong*
ly” if the Egyptians try to drive
out the British.
“1 have planned to meet the sit
uation,” he told hisi, troops. “You
must be ready to protect yourself
and to go to the help of your
comrades if you are attacked.
“I have sent a message to the
(Egyptian) governors of Suez,
Port Said, and the Shakia telling
them that I do not regard the ab
rogation of the (1936) treaty as
relieving them in any way of
their duty to mantain law and or
