George Explains
TCU Kick-Off;
No Protest Decision
By BOB SELLECK
Sports News Editor
Since Tuesday’s issue of the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram hit Col
lege Station, questions have been
asked by many people many times.
“Wb doesn’t A&M protest the
on- kick used by TCU last
Sa^ [“! Why don’t the school
off do something?”
1 adet’s head football coach,
Ray GtOrge, has this to say: “A&M
has nothing to gain by officially
protesting the game. In the first
place it is positive that no action
would be taken by the conference
on such an incident.
I am sure that Coach Meyer
did not do this deliberately. It
was an honest mistake and I do
not believe it effected the outcome
of the game enough to cause such
comment.
Missed Tackles
That didn’t beat us; after view
ing the pictures we’re more inclin
ed to blame missed tackles.
1 believe that the best thing to
do is forget the matter and let it
be accepted that although we never
like to lose, we did, and it is now
history.”
George also said he thought his
boys played a fine game and want
ed to win against TCU more than
anybody.
Going further, it can be added
that the actual violation of the
bn-side kick was in the manner in
which the ball was placed in the
field.
According to the rules the ball
Company 6
Again Wins
Sign Honors
Company 6 of the Basic Divi
sion again took top honors in the
weekly sign contest. Second place
Went to B Infantry.
The award for the Baylor game
sign was the fifth week of the
football season in which the
Freshman organization placed
either first or second in the con
test.
The winning cadet organization
is awarded $5 each week by Eu
gene Rush. An award of $2.50
is given to the second place win
ner.
Last week, L Squadron had the
winning sign for the A&M-TCU
football game, while Company 6
was second.
A committee headed by C. L.
Ray, corps chaplain, judges the
signs each week.
Senior Class Calls
Special Meeting
• Committee reports and a discus
sion of speaking on the campus
prior to football games will be on
the agenda at a special meeting
of the Senior class Thursday night.
The meeting will be held in the
MSC Ballroom immediately after
yell practice, J. W. “Doggy” Dal-
ston, class president, said.
The committees which will make
reports include: Traditions, head
ed by Bob Langford; Calendar
Sales, headed by Van Vandhnberg.
C. L. Ray is chairman of the Social
committee, while the Gift commit
tee is headed by Ted Stephens.
Harold Hughes is chairman of the
Campus Beautification committee
and A. C. Burkhalter heads the
Historical committee.
has to be placed on or inside the
“hash lines” which denote the in
bounds position. They are 17 yards
in from the sidelines, and are the
outside limits of the free kick.
George also believed the way the
play finally ended it would have
worked anywhere.
“The ball skidded just right,
bounced just right, and 4m TCU
end appeared in the proper spot
at the right time. Our boys were
ready for the play, but there just
wasn’t anything they could do,”
explained George.
A note that might be added
involves the present conflict be
tween USC and Oregon State over
a similar incident only involving
a different type play.
Oregon State has protested vig
orously and demanded that “USC
do the sporting thing and forfeit
the game.”
Results of their childish conduct
—nothing.

Take a Break
By POGO
CONTRARY to tradition com
mittee reports, we do attend yell
practice. While there, a yell leader
exclaimed, “ .. . w r ell, ole aaaaarmy
... in Fort Worth last weekend I
saw something I didn’t like. While
that Fightin’ Texas Aggie—rest,

and sweatin’ and giving their all

Twelfth Man, especially you fresh
men, weren’t behind them. Instead
of yelling, you were in stands mak
ing LOVE. Gotta Go gotta go.”
All we can say, “will this become
a tradition?” Gotta go.
EAVESDROPPING: Two sophs
who evidently didn’t attend last
night’s yell practice (E Battery
Juniors take note) were question
ing a fish as to what happened.
“What came up at yell practice
last night, Fish Smurkle?” Re
plied the freshman in a sickly tone,
“Chow, sir.”
Egypt Leaders
Warn Against
New Rioting
Cairo, Egypt, Oct. 24—(FP)
Egypt’s government sounded
stern warnings against anti-
foreign rioting today as Brit
ain maintained her bristling-
armed defenses along the seized
Suez Canal.
Britain modified her clampdown
on traffic to let 250 oil trucks go
through from Suez to Cairo, Egyp
tian officials said. Most rail traf
fic in the canal area still was
banned and 1’oad traffic moved un
der tight restrictions.
Egyptian informants said the oil
trucks were let through after Brit
ish officials of the Shell Oil Com
pany told the British military that
oil installations at Suez would be
damaged if they had to be shut
off because of a distribution stop
page.
Strong forces of Egyptian po
lice, kept on the alert against mobs
for days, fired on unruly crowds in
Alexandria yesterday. They flung
tear gas to break up demonstra
tors who paraded before the Rus
sian legation, in Cairo and shouted
“give us arms” to fight the Brit
ish.
Up to mid-day today no resump
tion of rioting was reported.
One demonstrator was reported
killed in Alexandria yesterday.
Interior Minister Faud Serag El
Din Pasha, whose job is to main
tain order in the tense and angry
country, sternly declared the gov
ernment will “take the strongest
measures against these trouble
makers.”
He said he gave orders to the
police to shoot into crowds they
couldn’t break up otherwise. The
government had banned demon
strations after rioting broke out
two weeks ago in the wake of
Egypt’s denunciation of its trea
ties with Britain.
Serag El Din declared many of
the demonstrators were “irrespon
sible and inexperienced” youths ea
sily influenced by traitors and
criminals he said infiltered yes
terday’s demonstrations of public
mourning for Egyptians killed in
riots and clashes with the British.

Russ Morgan Concert,
Dance Saturday Night
Featuring “Music in the Morgan
Manner”, the Russ Morgan Orches
tra will play for two perform
ances, a concert and all-college
dance, after the Baylor-A&M game
Saturday.
Following the afternoon game,
the orchestra with a troupe of en
tertainers will present a concert
in Guion Hall at 7:30 p. m. Be
ginning at 9, the orchestra will be
on hand to play for the dance in
Sbisa Hall until 12.
Tickets for the two events are
now on sale in the Student Activ
ities office. All seats to the con
cert are 70 cents and tickets to
the dance are $2.50, stag or drag.
In addition to instrumental num
bers by the orchestra, the two per
formances will feature entertain
ers such as “The Morganaires,” a
vocal quartet; Eduardo Aguilar, a
Spanish cancionero; “Manon,” fe
male vocalist; Pete Fylling, known
as the “Puppet Trumpeteer;” and
the “Satin String Sextette.”
Musical Arrangements
Musical arrangements included
in the two programs will be some
of Morgan’s own hit tunes, such
as “So Tired,” “You’re Nobody Till
Somebody Loves You,” “So Long,”
and “Somebody Else Is Taking My
Place.”
“Music in the Morgan Manner”
has been credited by musical crit
ics as weathering all fads, styles,
and crazes of musical forms.
Throughout the years of the con
flicts between the passions of
“sweet” music versus “swing”
music, the Russ Morgan Orches
tra has always kept the rhythmic
and melodic type of song stylings.
Born in the coal fields of Penn-
elyvania, Morgan first became in
terested in music when he bought
a trombone at the age of 12. When
he was 14 he played the piano for
a movie house after working during
the day in the coal mines.
Studying musical instruments as
much as possible for four years,
Morgan mastered the piano, trom
bone, vibraphone, celeste, marimba,
and organ, before leaving the coal
mines to arrange music for John
Sousa and Victor Herbert in Phil
adelphia.
After a successful musical tour
abroad he returned to the United
States. He was called to Detroit
by Jean Goldkette to organize a
swing band that consisted of such
musicians at Tommy and Jimmy
Dorsey and Joe Venuti.
While directing and arranging
the Goldkette Swing Band, he also
arranged the music for the De
troit Symphony Orchestra of 102
pieces.
Features Own Tunes
Continuing his musical career,
he began to feature his own songs
when he was musical arranger
for the George White Scandals,
the Cotton Club, Phillip Morris
Programs, the Biltmore Hotel, and
the Capitol Theater.
In the recording industry more
than, 10 million Russ Morgan rec
ords were sold from 1949 to 1950.
“Bye Bye Blackbird,” “So Tired,”
and “Forever and Ever” sold over
a million records last year.
The audience at the concert and
the couples a,t the dance will find
Morgan in a triple roll as master
of ceremonies, vocalist, and or
chestra leader.
A course in parliamentary pro
cedure, sponsored by the Student
Activities office and the English
department will be held tonight at
i 7:30 in Room 301, Goodwin Hall.
This meeting will be the first of
several, Pete Hardesty, business
manager for sturent activities,
said Tuesday afternoon.
The purpose of this series of
discussions is to present ways by
| which various campus clubs and
other organizations may conduct
their meetings in a more orderly
manner.
J. F. Pierce of the English de
partment will conduct the meet
ing. In his discussion, Pierce will
use a mimeographed text cover
ing the purposes of organization,
activities of the individual, and
duties of each officer of a group.
“The course,” Hardesty said,
“will present five basic require
ments of parliamentary law which
make it adaptable as an instru
ment of democracy.”
These requirements are:

Football Seating Plan Goes
Into Effect At Baylor Game
The new seating arrangement at
Kyle Field for home football games
will go into effect Saturday at
the A&M-Baylor football game.
The new system will make use of
the “ramping technique.” Each
class will have its own ramp
through which to enter the stad
ium. Only members of that class
will be able to use its specified
ramp.
A perforated colored card will be
issued to each student, one half
to be kept by the student and the
other to be issued to a guest. This
card will admit the bearer to a
designated section of the stadium.
A red card will admit corps
seniors to a section which extends
from the goal line to the 50-yard
line. They will enter the stadium
through Ramp P and sit in a sec
tion 14 rows deep, from the main
aisle up to the beginning of the
non-corps senior section.
Green cards will be issued to
corps juniors which will admit
them to a section which extends
from the end-zone to the 40-yard
line. All juniors will enter through
ramp O. The coips juniors will sit
in a section 11 rows from the top
and extending down to eight rows
below the main aisle and over to
the 40 yard line or next to the
band.
Freshmen and sophomores in the
corps will be issued a yellow card
which will admit them into a sec
tion which extends from the mid
dle of the end zone to the 40-yard
line. They will also be admitted to
a section 9 rows down from the
main aisle to the cinder track
from the end zone to the 40-yard
line. All sophomores and freshmen
will be admitted into the stadium
through any ramp except ramps P,
O, and Q.
Non-corps seniors will enter
Kyle Field through ramp Q and sit
in a section 10 rows from the top.
L. R. Tanner, seating committee
representative for College View
and Vet Village, said the pass to
the non-corps senior section will
be the student’s ID card plus the
student’s senior ring or proof that
he is a classified senior (a note
from the registrar stating same)
and his student activity card.
Other non-corps students will
sit in a section 10 rows deep from
the top of the stadium. It will ex
tend from the goal line to the mid
dle of the end zone. Tanner said
the pass to the regular non corps
section will be the student’s ID
card plus his student activity card.
Students can buy only one guest
ticket and all guests must have
guest tickets, not reserved seat
tickets, to sit in the student sec
tion. There will be signs at the
bottom of each ramp in order to
guide students to their assigned
sections.
Two seating officials will check
the students’ ID cards and student
activity cards at the bottom of each
ramp. The sections will be roped
off and marked with signs so that
each student will sit in his proper
section. Tanner said that there will
be non-corps students to enforce
the seating arrangement for the
non-corps section.
These arrangements were made
by the Student Senate Monday
night.
Russians Tools’
Truman Tells
D of C Group
Oct. 24—(FP)—President Tru
man told the Russians today
they are “utterly foolish” to
oppose nations banded togeth
er to seek “peace and justice.”
Speaking on the anniversary of
the birth of the United Nations,
the President declared:
“I hope the time will not be far
distant when the leaders of the
Soviet Union and their satellites
will come to see that it is utterly
foolish to oppose the united efforts
of all the other peoples of the
world for peace and justice.
“But so long as the forces of ag
gression are attacking the United
Nations, there must be no weaken
ing—there must be no slackening
of our efforts to check aggression
and to build up the defense of the
free world.
“It is up to us here at home to
back up these men of many na
tions who are fighting for us and
for the freedom of the world in
Korea.”

claim the attention of the meet
ing at any one time; each sub
ject discussed is entitled to a full
and fair debate; every member
has rights equal to every other
member, that is, to propose mo
tions, take part in discussions, and
vote.
Only one person may have the
floor at one time, and the major
ity will prevail in all cases; how
ever the rights of the minority
must be preserved.
Responsibilities
These rights, according to Hard
esty, carry corresponding respon
sibilities. Therefore, the individ
ual schould know certain funda
mental rules of parliamentary pro
cedure.
He should know how to introduce
business to a group and should
be familiar with what constitutes
the main motion. Ways of chang
ing the form of the motion should
be known by all persons when at
tending a meeting, which employs
parliamentary procedures.
There are three ways by which
a motion may be amended, by add
ing or inserting words, by omiting
words, and by ommission and in
sertion of words.
Other Procedures
Other procedures of parliamen
tary order with which club mem
bers should be familiar include
ways to delay action on a matter,
methods of correcting the chaii’-
man when a mistake has been
made, means of requesting infor
mation, Hardesty explained.
The pamphlet which Pierce will
use includes suggestions for chair
men, and rules which should be
followed by officers of a group.
Anyone is welcome to attend
the meeting, Hardestry said.
“The course will not be conduct
ed in a classroom style, and should
prove valuable to club officers in
terested in conducting their meet
ings in a more orderly manner.”
MSC Crafts
Committee
Holds Meet
The MSC Crafts Committee will
sponsor the fourth in a weekly
series of crafts demonstrations to
night at 7 in the Crafts Shop.
Jack Vincent will demonstrate
leather carving, leather working
and billfold making.
Other demonstrations scheduled
include plastic carving, molding
and forming. In these classes stu
dents learn how book ends, paper
weights, ear rings, medallions and
other useful articles are created
from plastic.
A ceramics demonstration will
show how to turn attractive bowls,
mugs, and dishes on the potters’
wheel. Building pottery pieces by
freehand methods and molding
plates, cups, and bookends along
with methods of mold making.
Instructions in all phases of
woodworking and care of hand
tools will be offered for those
interested in wood crafts. Stu
dents interested in metal craft will
have the opportunity of learning to
tool copper pictures, form bowls
and make trays.
The latest craft to be offered is
gem cutting. The Craft Commit
tee has purchased lapidary equip
ment and it is now prepared to
give instructions in this art.
Sound and color movies are to
be shown in connection with most
of the demonstrations, such as
plastics, pottery, metal craft and
caring for woodworking hand tools.
All students, student's wives and
associate members of the Craft
Committee are invited to attend
the demonstrations.
Kaesong where the search for a
cease-fire agreement was suspend
ed Aug. 23 by the Reds.
Tomorrow’s meeting is scheduled
to begin at 11 a.m. (9 p.m. Wed
nesday, EST).
Panmunjom is accessible to each
side without having to travel
through enemy territory. The ti
ny town now has the appearance
of an American carnival. Armi
stice activities are housed in cir
cus-like tents. Huge colored bal
loons and searchlights ring the
conference area to warn warplanes
away from the neutral zone.
Reds OK Rules
Resumption of the conference
talks was made possible when the
Communists Wednesday ratified
security ground rules drafted by
U, N. and Communist liaison offp
cers in 12 meetings at Panmunjom
since Oct. 10.
The U. N. had approved the
ground rules Monday.
An Allied liaison officer said a
new dispute cropped up Wednes
day. The Communists objected to
Allied military policemen at the
entrance of the negotiations tent.
The Communists insisted that the
MPs bp stationed on the road about
110 yards away. The liaison offi
cer said the guards would be post
ed at the tent door unless Adm. C.
Turner Joy, chief U. N. negotiator
yields to the Red demand.
Joy and Gen. Nam II, 38-year-old
North KoKrean, again head the
delegations. There will be two
new men on each.
Tough Issues
If and when the negotiators
agree on a line of demarcation
between the U. N. and Communist
armies, they still face these three
tough issues:
• How the truce is to be super
vised.
• How to exchange prisoners.
• What recommendations to
make to their respective govern
ments. This includes the. Red de
mand that foreign troops be with
drawn from Korea.
Those issues must be settled be
fore there can be an end to the
fighting. No one in official posi
tion at the U. N. advance head
quarters would risk a prediction
on how long it might take to reach
an armistice. But the general feel
ing here was that the new effort
would be “this time or never.”
The Reds broke off negotiations
63 days ago, charging Allied planes
strafed Kaesong. The charge was
denied. It was followed by a ser
ies of Red accusations. All but
three were rejected by U. N. in
vestigators.
Broke Talks
When talks broke down, nego
tiators were deadlocked on tha
matter of where the line of demar
cation should be established be
tween the opposing forces.
The. Reds wanted it along Par
allel 38, prewar boundary between
Nortlj and South Korea.
The United Nations will demand
a cease-fire line along the current
batlefront. The front runs 50
miles into North Korea in the
one year. It will be displayed in I east, 30 miles north in the center
the MSC following the Baylor | and seven miles south of the 38th
game. Parallel in the west.

Senior Class Group
Discusses Traditions’
The Senior Class Traditions
Committee met Monday night to
discuss what constitutes an A&M
tradition. After much discussion,
several recommendations were re
ferred to the entire Senior class
for furthei; debate.
The flying of the 52 flags around
Kyle- Field is one of the questions
which will be taken before the
class at its special meeting Thurs
day night.
Another motion considered the
number of semesters a student
must have attended A&M before
he may be eligible to wear senior
boots.
A motion was made to refer to
the Student Senate the possible
seating arrangements at future
home football games. Committee
members also discussed the pos
sibility of issuing passes to sen
iors so they may be admitted to
the Senior section. The use of eight
Regimental Duty Officers at all
out of town football games was
also recommended.
Bob Langford, chairman of the
committee, said he would talk to
the commanding officer of Squad
ron 13 and determine reasons why
freshmen in that organization were
violating uniform privileges dur
ing the recent Fort Worth Corps
Trip.
The committee agreed that a
ruling on wearing caps when ap
proaching the site of a yell prac
tice or athletic contest should be
made. Members recommended that
all corps members take off their
caps when nearing yell practice
and leave them off afterwards
until a reasonable distance away.
Langford appointed a commit
tee to investigate records of for
mer classes at A&M to determine
the tradition of placing flags on
bonfires. This committee will re
port their findings to the next
meeting of the Traditions Com
mittee, which will be held Monday
night.
