Page 4 THE BATTALION Friday, November 16, 1951 The Last Word Battalion W Oman’s Needs News By Pat Morley outcome of this little error, plus the times I reneged, we thoughtful ly delete the rest'of this sad tale. Your Women’s Editor hopefully dedicates this to all the feminine members of the community who’d like to see more personal chit chat just for us girls. Don’t be like some of the uncooperative ladies of College Station. Take a tip from the Bridge Club, and help us cover the news. As I sobbed as I left the club meeting, “How about some news?” You know what’s wrong with the Batt? No student wife news—no gossip column. That’s what they said around the campus before the Official Paper of Texas A&M College And College Station employed a women’s editor. What’s worse, they’re still saying it. Most of the fairer sex around these parts are somewhat aloof from the sordid business of collecting and publishing the news. One club, however—one real gem of a society for gathering news—is the Veteran’s Wives Bridge Club, which meets every Thursday evening at the MSC. The following is an account,-f from entrance to exit, of the ease and polish with which your Wo men’s Editor compiles news for “The Last Word.” “Hi girls!” (Sayd I) Eighty accusing eyes swing to ward the reporter. “Where was the column this week?” chorus ten tables of poised, well-groomed student wives. “Der,” (an evasive answer.) “What?” snarl a host of delicate throats. “Er, I mean, that’s what I came to see you about tonight . . . the column.” “Don’t know a thing,” say the voices in a monotone, and their eyes return to small fans of play ing cards. Slinking into a chair at a table with Mary Fran Ballard, Carrie Lee Young, and Nell Johnson, the now-forgotten journalist sneaks a pencil and notebook into her lap. “One club,” says Mary Fran. “I pass,” sighs Carrie Lee. “Two clubs!” smiles Nell. “Say, did you go to the bar becue Dr. Kennedy gave last Sat urday?” T quip pertly. An unidentified spike-heel is placed squarely on my corn, and 1 mutter something under my breath. “What’d you say?” (very men acing.) With my biggest smile, I say, “I said I hope you’re doing well.” “Three clubs” laughs Mary Fran. “By,” sobs Carrie Lee. “Four clubs!” shrieks Nell. “Well, isn’t that the cutest idea Mary Parker has—putting match ing costume pins on each cuff of her glenn plaid suit!” (That’s me, again.) Hostess, rushing up just in time to stop my partner from throwing the deck of cards in my face, throws the deck of cards in my face. Placing a well-manicured fin gernail on the tip of my nose, Mrs. Hostess says sweetly, “If you don’t hush up, and play your cards . . .” (her voice is so choked with, emo tion at this point that she connot continue.) “AND, furthermore, we’d like to see a little women’s news in that paper!” To spare you, read reader, the Jinx (Continued from Page 1) The only thing sure about the backfield defense is that Charlie McDonald and Yale Lary will start at their regular positions, left half back and safety respectively. An even greater problem to be solved by the young Aggie mentor is to get his offense on the roll to win his first conference victory of the season. Aggie Fullback Bob Smith will also be out to stop a jinx that has kept him from scoring against Rice. The old reliables like Jack Little, Sam Moses, Elo Nohavitza, Jaro Netardus, Charlie Hodge, Marshall Rush, and Hugh Meyer continue to hold up the A&M forward wall. These boys have fought against greater odds and fresher ball play ers all year but have, continued to stay in there week after week. Jack Little, Cadet tackle, is be ing slated for All-American hon ors and could quite easily win the honored mythical title. Little has been described as one of the best professional football prospects in the SWC. The big spark in the offense will be lit by the El Campo Flash Glen Lippman. Lippman is the leading- ball carrier in the conference and seems destined to improve his rec ord against the unfortunate Rice lads. Baylor-Wake Forest (Continued from Page 3) club away from home as they have been in the Ozarks so SMU should collect their first conference win. Flingin’ Fred Benners should have his arm warmed up after a rest last week and raise his already high pitching aver age. The Hog aerial defense has been up to par this year and Ponies should fly over their heads flashing that great SMU passing circus. Arkansas beat the Longhorns and the Aggies up in Fay etteville, but were stopped by Baylor and Rice away from Services, Meetings Announced For College Station Churches St. Thomas Episcopal Church The Rev.

Williams, the oldest Texas veteran of the Civil War, will celebrate his 109th birthday Sunday. His birthday is actually Nov. 14, but the party was planned for Sunday so many of his 125 direct descendants could help him cele-. brate. y * A barbecue and a basket lunch will be served at his ranch home 14 miles south of here. Williams and his wife live on the farm alone. They raise a few cattle and turkeys. The Confederate veteran claims his long life is due to the results of living simply and spending as much time as possible in the open. HELP! HELP! Have you waked up screaming in the middle of the night lately, dreaming there were life insurance men all around you and no avenue of escape?

WITH THE EXPERT CLEANING SERVICE at CAMPUS CLEANERS New Dorm Area Over Exchange Store Next to College Laundry home. The game is rated a toss-up by the experts, but we think the home field should give the Red.and Blue of SMU the vic tory margin. Baylor 21, Wake Forest 7 The SWC has a good intersect ional this season, Baylor is rated number ten in the nation, and the game is being played at Waco which all adds up to a, Bruin vie- tory. The winner of this battle will be in the running for a bowl bid, since both teams have had a good season. In the Southern Conference the Deacons have won five and lost two while scoring 174 points to their opponents 73. Larry Isbell’s master signal call ing should be the guiding light for the Bears who are not out of the SWC race yet. The Bears should make it two in a row over the Deacons who they defeated in the Dixie Bowl in 1949. HSE BATTALION CLASSIFIED ADS TO BCY, SELL, RENT OR TRADE.

For thankfulness and happiness are cut from the same fabric. Thankfulness is really happiness with a sense of direction. It is hap piness that traces its source to the goodness of God, and expresses its destiny in humble reverence. The smile of a thankful Christian is the natural symbol of Thanksgiving. And it explains the mean ing of this sacred Day: GOD HAS SMILED ON US! THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It _is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. □I l ip™ feSS Copyright I Book Chapter Verses Sunday... .. Psalms 92 1-5 Monday . . Psalms 95 1-7 Tuesday.. ..Luke 17 1-10 Wednesday.
