The seating arrangement on Kyle Field will remain the
same, the Student Senate decided last night. However they
made one change in the procedure as outlined at a previous
meeting.
Non-corps juniors who desire to sit with corps men may
do so by getting a guest ticket from the corps-men they wish
to sit with. This colored ticket permits them to sit in an
assigned area.
Frank Lady, law. student from Baylor University and
president of the TISA, was guest of the senate at last night’s
meeting. He gave the senators a brief description of the
work being done by the organization.
During the stormy three-hour meeting held in the Sen
ate Chamber of the MSC, the group-*
discussed the flying of flags -my *
around Kyle Field. The senate ^
heard a complaint that there were 1 i CtiULlif llli 5
not 52 flags around the stadium. O
Originally, the flags were set up Tfc I" U%T /X
to honor the 52 Aggies killed dur- I Y 1 iVPl*
ing the first World War. Senators \ vl
learned that during the past game
there were only about thirty flags T
flying, and one of those was up- DUlICr LlHCS
side down.
r
Hansel Kennedy, student sena
tor and member of the MSC coun
cil, told the senate many families
of men killed in the past war want
ed to donate the funeral flags to
the college. He recommended that
these be accepted and used around
Kyle Field.
It was brought out that at pres
ent the flags around the field are
in a state of disrepair. These flags
that are used are taken down after
the game and “stuffed” into a 55-
fcallon can.
Procurement of Flags
Procurement of the flags will be
handled through J. B. Dick Hervey,
executive secretary of the Former
Students.
During the first part of the
meeting Pete Hardesty, business
manager of Student Activities,
made a i-eport on the “Parliamen
tary Procedure Course.” He intro
duced Pierce, who teaches the
course.
Jack “Spud” Meregle, chairman
of the mascot committee, made a
report that a dog had been found,
but it was not a German Shepherd
as selected in a vote last year-.
The motion about the dog, a,
German Shorthaired Pointer, will
be tabled until the former students
have a chance to make an offer
the senate decided.
Phones in New Area
Members of the telephone com
mittee made a report that phones
will be placed in the new area
dormitories. Chairman of the com
mittee is Ted Stephens.
Phones will be placed in Dorms
1, 5, 6, 9, and 11, and will be
available in 90 to 100 days.
The Prexy’s Fountain is not fill
ed because of mechanical difficul
ties Meregle reported to the sen
ate. In talks with college authori
ties, it was found that there is a
leak in the fountain and it leaks
out into the surrounding park.
Additional work will be done on
this and a report is to be made at
the next meeting.
Seating at the out-of-town foot
ball games will be handled by* the
tradition’s committee of the sen
ior class. Seniors were asked to
make the decision and pass it down
to their units.
Choice of who will represent
A&M at the annual Maid of Cot
ton selection was discussed by the
group.
Upon the motion of Bruce Mil
ler, The A&M Sweetheart will be

Munsan, Korea, Nov. 2—
UP) — Red truce negotiators
pressed Allied delegates today
to accept the Communist pro
posal for a cease-fire buffer
zone across Korea—but balked at
issuing an ultimatum.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
United Nations command -spokes
man, said the Communist subcom,-
mittee at Panmunjom urged the
Allies to give up their demands
for Kaesong and accept the Red
line.
Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, head
of the U. N. subcommittee, asked
the Reds if they were issuing an
ultimatum.
“They refused to answer direct
ly,” Nuckols said, “and were eva-
'sive, saying that sincerity was nec
essary on both sides.”
Two meetings during the day
wound up with “no progress.” They
agreed to try again at 11 a.m. Sat
urday (9 p.m, Friday EST.)
While the truce teams argued,
small fights erupted between pa
trols all along the snow-covered
battlefront. No heavy fighting
was reported as ground troops
waited to see what happened at
Panmunjom.
But the air war flashed with
three jet battles involving more
than 150 plans. The U.S. Fifth
Air Force reported Americans shot
down one MIG in flames and Brit
ish Commonwealth pilots damaged
two.

In Hog Tilt

Battalion Sports News-Editor
It’s either in or out for the Aggies this week as they go
to Fayetteville to encounter the Arkansas Razorbacks.
If they win, the Aggies will be in and will still have a
chance for the Southwest Conference Championship.
If they lose, there’s probably not even a mathematical
chance. Arkansas is already out of the race.
The 38-man Aggie squad will be facing the Hogs, who
will be playing their Homecoming Day game which Arkansas
hates to lose.
The Cadets enter the game with a 4-1-1 record while
Arkansas has a 3-3 record. A&M trimmed the first four
teams they faced—UCLA, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Trin
ity—before falling before TCU 14-20 as the Frogs rallied
♦ with three last quarter touch
downs.
The only Aggie tie was last Sat
urday as Baylor, who also came
back in the fourth quarter, racked
up two quick tallies to gain a 21-21
tie with the Aggies.
Arkansas’ record of three wins
includes triumphs over Oklahoma
A&M, Arizona State of Temple
and a groat up-set wallop over the
Texas Longhorns.
The Razorbacks have dropped
decisions to Baylor, TCU and the
Santa Clara Broncos.
If performance against Split-T
opponents means anything, the Ca
dets should win. They hold wins
over Texas Tech and Oklahoma,
but have yet to play Arkansas and
TU, who also employ this type of
offense.
Critical Game
This is one of the most critical
games of the year and if the Ag
gies continue to win week after
week, each game will grow that
much more important.
Arkansas lineman outweigh the
Farmers 19 pounds in the line,
with some of the smaller Cadets
being outweighed as much as 35
pounds.
Eto Nohavitza, left guard for the
Aggies, tips the scales at 185. His
opposing light guard weighs a sol
id 200 pounds.
Both teams will enter the game
at less than full strength. A&M
has two defensive stalwarts out

Ground Quiet,
Air Fighting,
Over Korea
U.S. 8tli Army Headquar
ters, Korea, Nov. 2—(H 3 )—The
a i r over northwest Korea
flamed today with a series of
dogfights involving more than
150 jets in contrast with the cold
quiet of ground fronts.
One Russian-type MIG-15 was
shot down—the 100th by the U.S.
Fifth Air Force. Thirty-three oth
ers have been bagged by gunners
of R-29 Superforts. Two other
MIGs were damaged today.
The red-nosed jets swept south
100 miles from their Manchurian
bases and attacked airmen from
three United Nations in four en
counters. No damage to Allied
planes was reported.
The fiercest engagement was
between 24 U. S, F-86 Sabre Jets
and 44 MIGs. One MIG went
down in flames.
Sixteen Royal Australian Air
Force meteors took on 25 Red
jets and damaged two.
South African pilots in propel
ler driven Mustangs came through
unscathed, the Fifth Air Force
said, when a flight of MIGs at
tacked them just north of Pyong
yang. The North Korean capital
is 100 miles from the Yalu River
boundary between Korea and Man
churia. The Red jets seldom are
seen that far from their base.
