the Campus Study Club donating

School health program and the
A&M Consolidated School Library.

such items may bring them to the

cannot bring them to the store
Wednesday may call Mrs. It. D.
Chenoweth, 4-7077, to make ar
rangements to take them to her
home at 411 Montclair South.
“The Club hopes to serve stu
dent wives, especially, with an ex
change section of children’s clothes
and toys, maternity clothing, and
household appliances. A handi
crafts room is expected to be of
interest to all members of the
community,” said Mrs. A. W. Mel-
loh, of the publicity committee for
the Study Club.
Top Chest Contributor
Mrs. R. D. Cenoweth, coordina
tor for the project, states that
handicraft items, such as leather
belts, purses and billfolds, metal
woi’k, ceramics, Christmas cour-
sages, centerpieces, paintings and
art work, and hand made baby
clothes, aprons, embroidered tow-
eis, and similar items may all be
sold by local creators, at a profit
for the club, the buyer, and the
person making the goods.
A stated price, agreed upon by
the seller and the management,
will be paid to the seller when
items are sold by the exchange. It
is necessary that the Community
Exchange Management reserve the
right to refuse to accept for sale
such things as are not in proper
condition, or on items which might

little White House at Key West,
Fla. today. With them are Chief
Justice and Mrs. Vinson and sev
eral governmental officials.
As the presidential party sits
down to its holiday feast, the rest
of the world anxiously watches de
velopments that may mean peace
or war for this country. In Pan-
munjom, American officers have
promised an answer to the latest
Communist counter-proposal for a
cease fire in the Korean War.
There was cautious optimism that
both sides are coming closer to
gether on the first of several dif
ficult problems to be solved before
the guns are stilled.
In Rome and Paris, European
and American political and mili
tary leaders meet in efforts to
speed up the rearmament pro
grams of the various free nations.
As one group works for rearma
ment, the UN seeks to find a com
mon meeting ground between West
and East on a disarmament pro
gram.

Selleck is a senior journalism
major from San Benito.
Davis City Editor
Frank Davis was appointed City
Editor. At the first of the year
he was given this job as a tem
porary job. The appointment by
Whitmore during this reorganiza
tion makes the job permanent.
The City Editor is a senior jour
nalism from Bryan. He has worked
on the paper for two years in the
capacity of staff writer.
Top contributor of local merchants toward the
College Station Community Chest Fund, Joe Sos-
olik, owner of the Aggieland Studio, presents a
check for $78 to Chest secretary-treasurer Johnny
Longley. Deadline for contributions to be in for
the Community Chest has been extended to Dec.
1 in order to meet a $2,500 deficit to the $10,000
goal.
Responsible For Socialism?
(Continued from Page 1)
“Who is responsible for the so
cialistic trend in the United
States,” was another question di
rected to the panel.
Lyon replied the trend was based
on votes of the people, which were
influenced by the fact that more
people now work for the govern
ment.
Fat Man Starves
Daily disagreed slightly with
Lyon on the same question, em
phasizing that during the 1930’s
a man would do almost anything
to better himself. Socialism, how
ever, can be compared to a fat
man starving to death, he added.
E. F. Graham, vice president of
the Southwestern Gas and Electric
Company entered the discussion to
say that socialism appealed to the
voters because it seemed like a
way of getting something for
nothing.
Ten questions had been asked
the panel, when Boddie said the
formal meeting was scheduled to
last only an hour. At this point
the meeting was adjourned. The
businessmen remained another 30
minutes answering additional
questions.
The tidelands issue, government
taxation, and socialism in the Unit
ed States and Great Britain were
some other topics discussed.
Student participation in the dis
cussion was evidenced when Dan
Davis, a senior business adminis
tration student, shocked the panel
with facts he had gathered about
British socialism while touring the
country last summer.
Davis calmly told the panel,
which had ridden British socialism,
during previous discussions, that
the present nationalization of cer
tain industries in Britain had in
creased their output over prewar
totals.
No Comment
Dailey pleaded that he lacked
figures, Lyon said he had never
been to Britain, and Graham did
not comment.
The panel which plans to tour
colleges and universities through
out Texas was brought to A&M
under the auspices of the Business
and Accounting Society.
