• When is the freshman class
going to elect officer's?
Most of the freshmen agreed
that many of their problems within
their area could be worked out if
they had an organization of some
kind.
Explains Purpose
In opening the meeting, Joe Wal
lace, Corps Staff junior from San
Antonio, said its pui-pose was to
bring up any problems any class
had concerning the corps. “These
meetings are to help the various
classes, and if any class needs
help, it’s the freshmen who are
new at/ A&M,” Wallace said.
Colonel of the Corps Eric Carl
son explained the position of the
cadets. “We’re trying to make a
better corps, to make better lead
ers,” he said. “To do this, we need
the cooperation of everybody.
We’re all on the same team, and
we want the coi-ps to be as solid
as a rock.”
Commandant Col. Joe E. Davis
said, “Every cadet has certain ob
ligations. Unless these obligations
are accepted, we can’t have the
military school we desire.”
Col. Shelley Meyers, PMS&T,
explained contract procedures and
answered questions. Col. E. W.
Napier, PAS&T, was also on hand
to answer questions.
Queries brought up at the meet
ing will be referred to the proper
authorities and will be answered at
the next meeting, which will be
in about one month, the. Fish were

Job Interviews
C ONTINENTAL OIL COMPANY is very much inter
ested in discussing employment possibilities with the
graduates of the class of 1952. Seven interviewers will
be on the campus of Texas A&M on November 21 and
22 for the purpose of interviewing seniors graduating
in February and June.
C ONTINENTAL’S growth has been due to young ideas
in each major department—Exploration, Production,
Refining, Marketing, and Administration. We will be
employing men for these departments in 1952.

participants.
“Judge Streit called attention
to the number of athletic scholar
ships offered at several Southwest
Conference schools. At the A&M
College of Texas we have almost
twice as many scholarships held
by students who have no connection
with any athletic team as scholar
ships held by boys participating in
all athletic sports.”
And in Chicago, Hugh Willett,
president of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association, said a sub
stantial majority of the organiza
tion’s 320 members supported a 12-
point program for tighter controls
on college athletics.
But a committee of seven col
lege presidents, meeting in Wash
ington, agreed “something must be
done” to remove whatever evils are
in the intercollegiate athletic pro
gram.
University of Oklahoma athletes
are required to maintain proper
scholastic standards, University
President Dr. George L. Cross said
in answering Judge Streit’s state
ment that one Oklahoma football
player was taking introduction to
geography and loaded his program
with theories of basketball, swim
ming games and volley ball in his
senior yea]-.
“We are interested in having
all our athletes make steady prog
ress toward graduation,” Dr. Cross
said. N
The reaction of Bud Wilkinson,
Oklahoma football coach, was to go
into the records and announce that
football lettermen have been grad
uated at a 92 per cent pace since
he became coach of the Sooners.
“If Judge Streit will give us the
name of the Oklahoma football
player ho was referring to, we will
be glad to make the player’s schol
astic record public.” The judge
did not name the player in his
lengthy statement.
The judge’s statement that
Southern Methodist awards 154
athletic scholarships annually
brought from Athletic Director
Matty Bell a question as to what
was wrong with his school grant
ing such scholarships.
“Well,, it isn’t any of the judge’s
business in the first place and
in the second place these scholar
ships cover all sports, not just
football. . . . These are given to
Beanmont-Port Arthur
Clubs Invite Wives
The Beaumont-Port A r t h u r
home-town clubs will put into ef
fect a new means of boosting at
tendance at bi-weekly meetings to
night, by inviting wives of married
students to attend their meeting.
In addition to discussing plans
for a joint Christmas Dance at
the Port Arthur Pleasure Pier,
the club will view the showing of
A&M’s football game with Georgia
in the Presidential Cup Bowl last
year. Aggie quarterback Dick Gar-
demal will describe the film.
Also included on the big program
will be Cowboy songs by H. L.
“Hank” McAdams and refresh
ments consisting of coffee and
doughnuts.
boys, who, in the main, would be
unable to attend college without
the assistance. ... 1 wish this
judge would meet some of the fine
boys we have in athletics. Our
athletes are among the finest young
men in the country and it is that
way at most of the colleges.”
Dana X. Bible, University of
Texas Athletic Director, conceded
the collegiate football program
“may have gotten off-side a little
bit” sometimes but declared the
good in football far out-weighs
the bad.
“It’s just another indication of
the need for a committee like this,”
said Dr. John A. Hannah, Presi
dent of Michigan State and head of
a special committee set up by the
American Council on Education to
look into sports.
That was the only comment on
the judge’s blast from the commit
tee of seven college presidents
but before the jurist made his
statement, Hannah told reporters:
“We realize we must be respon
sible for the total operation of the
university. We have a real con
cern in the protection of the in
tegrity in higher education.
“We start with the assumption
that there is much good in college
sports. We want to preserve what’s
good and take the evil out.”
Tennessee’s Rebuttal
Tennessee’s rebuttal came from
President C. E. Brehm who said in
a statement:
“We don’t think the athletic de
partment has over-emphasized ath
letic activities to the detriment of
our academic program. We are
maintaining high academic stan
dards and the boys who play on
the football team have to conform
to those standards if they continue
in school.”
Maryland’s answer to Judge
Streit’s statement that 60 of Mary
land’s 97 players are from other
states was given by Geary Eppley,
Dean of Men and Chairman of th#
Athletic Council.
“We have always had quite a
few from out of the state,” he said.
“Probably not so many as we now
have but the bulk of our students
from outside of Maryland and the
District of Columbia come from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York.”
Dr. Turk Speaks
At Lions Meeting
Dr. R. D. Turk, head of the Vet
erinary Parasitology Department,
was guest speaker at the College
Station Lions Club Monday in the
MSC.
Dr. Turk delivered an amusing
talk on the part parasites play in
the life of both man and' animal.

ry says, but simply an attempt to
set down an average Texan’s re
actions to A&M, its people, its own
individual ways, and its amazing
growth.
“The Story of Texas A&M” is a
narration of the first 75 years of
the A&M College of Texas. In a
description of student life and the
campus itself, Perry trys to ans
wer questions that a boy planning
to come to A&M would ask.
Beginning the book with a de
scription of the inauguration of
President M. T. Harrington last
year, Perry continues the story
with a second chapter entitled,
“Some Aggies I Have Known.”
Also in the biography, the auth
or deals with the differences in
student life at A&M with that of
other schools. He continues with
chapters on traditions, military,
student publications, the Aggie
Band and other musical organiza
tions.
Separate chapters of the book
are devoted to a description of each
of the college’s schools. In the final
chapters, Perry takes a look at
the future A&M, with the far-
reaching plans of the college dis-*
cussed in detail.

Members of the Signal Corps
will be assigned the responsibility
of providing communications sys
tems for the guard duty, Jobe said.
The system will include field tele
phones between the bonfire and

Buses for student transportation
to cutting areas will be running
regularly during afternoons of ac

The three college buses will leave
from the drill field-MSC area as
soon as they are filled, returning
to the campus for new loads after
each trip.
Need Trucks
Ted Stephens, chairman of the
transportation committee, asked
all students and residents of Bryan
and College Statiion to contact him
if they know of any trucks or
pick-ups available to haul wood
onto the campus. He said there is
still a big shortage of trucks.
Jobe urged all student to take
paid in the bonfire building. Said
the head yell leader, “Since the
bonfire belongs to the 12th Man, I
think it. only right that everyman

Dorm 12 Gun Room each night af
