R V’s Banquet
l idwell In i’wo Bowls
(Continued from Page 3)
Billy Tidwell, star halfback for the Aggies, will participate
in two bowl games. The first will be (he North-South Game at
Miami, Florida, which features graduating seniors. Billy has
been invited largely on his running score. He isi one of the
fastest in the business, and one of the shiftiest. An expected
40',000 will see Billy represent the South and A&M.
He will then drop over to Montgomery, Ala,, on Dec. 29, where
he will play for the South again in the Blue-Grey Game. This tilt
is scheduled for 1:45 p..m., and there is an expected crowd of 22,500.
Billy might be remembered for his consistency. Rain or shine, he
was carrying the ball for yardage and never once let up. He was one
of the hardest hustling boys in the lineup, and could always worry
the other team with that famous off-tackle which pulled the Aggies
out of many a tight spot. Once through the line, Billy was a hard
man to stop, and his continually rolling up long gains proved him as
one of the best in the game.
Wildlife Club Has

Club Christmas Party Saturday

Reds Argue
Over P.O.W.
Exchange
Munsan, Korea, Dec. 17—
Truce negotiators haggled ov
er prisoner exchange and
armistice supervision again
today. A United Nations
spokesman said results were “ab
solutely negative.”
“No progress,” said the U. N.
communique.
Only 10 days remain before the
provisional cease-fire line across
Korea expires.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
U.N. spokesman, said the Reds have
not asked for an extension beyond
the Dec. 27 deadline. Neither have
the Allies.
“There is no question of exten
sion o fany time litim or anything,”
Nuckols said. “This was a 30-day
trial offer, you might say.
Nuckols said the time limit was
proposed by the United Nations
command to hasten agreement on
a truce, but “if the progress made
this far is an indication of the
effectiveness of the incentive, then
I don’t think the incentive provided
very much incentive.”
Under terms of the agreement a
provisional 145-mile cease-fire line
across Korea would become the
center of a 2%-mile wide buffer
zone if an armistice were signed
by Dec. 27. If no agreement is
reached before the deadline, the
negotiations and the fighting will
continue. A new line will be drawn
just before a trace is signed to
include any battle changes.
An Allied radio broadcast from
Tokyo Monday night declared ac
ceptance of Red demands for blan
ket exchange of war prisoners
might sentence some Allied soldiers
“to life in Communist slave labor
camps.”
The broadcast warned “if the
Reds continue to play the role of
modern slavemaster and hold out
for blind acceptance of their terms,
then the issue seems destined to
become insoluble.”
The “Voice of the United Nations
Command” said the Reds have re
leased a few Allied prisoners at
the front as a propaganda move,
but only after they have been put
through a Communist indoctrina
tion course.
980th Air Reserve

The 9807th Volunteer Air Re
serve Training Squadron will hold

outside decorations, will be award
ed contest winners Wednesday.
The contest, sponsored by The
Battalion, was launched as a means
to revive the old-fashioned spirit
of Christmas in College Station.
The fact that many residents are
traveling during the actual holi
days need not mean that they can
not enjoy decorating their own
homes during the month of De
cember.
Entries will be accepted until
6 p. m. today, but none may be
listed at The Battalion Office af
ter that time.
Miss Smith Joins
Extension Offices
Mae Belle Smith, Extension dis
trict agent with headquarters at
Uvalde, has been transferred to
the Extension Editorial Office on
the A&M campus. According to G.
G. Gibson, director, Miss Smith

Hospital
(Continued from Page 1)
tering a temperature of 102.
Mrs. Claghorn warned students
against being around anyone who
might have influenza. It is highly
contagious and is easily spread in
the dormitories by men who are
too stubborn to come to the hospi
tal for proper treatment.
When asked about the food ser
vice in the hospital, Mrs. Claghorn
said the hospital is not trying to
starve anyone.
Soup, milk, and lots of fruit
juice have been prescribed for pat
ients with influenza, she said. “You
can’t expect us to feed these boys
steaks if they are ill. It is very
dangerous to feed the patients any
thing heavy, because these foods
can help the disease to develop
into something much worse.”
Haven’t Secured Medicine
Many unit commanders have not
been by to pick up the medicine
and other hospital supplies issued
for students to have in their dorm
itories, she pointed out. “After a
student once becomes ill enough to
take cough medicine or to gargle
his throat, it doesn’t do him any
good to come to the hospital in
the cold air just to get some medi
cine.”
Mrs. Claghorn also asked that
any student who wasn’t satisfied
with the service he got at the hos
pital, she would like to hear his
story personally. She said it was
a shame that so many false ru
mors had been circulating around
the campus.
Mild and Warmer
Today, Tomorrow
The winter’s coldest weather to
date ended under murky skies Mon
day as winds shifted from north
to south and temperatures started
rising.
The gradual warmup began Sun-
4day as bright sunshine hit most
sections of the state after a sub
freezing early morning as far south
as Alice and Laredo.
The weather bureau forecast
mostly cloudy skies and warmer
temperatures and east and south-
central Texas Monday with the
cloudiness increasing and still
warmer temperatures Tuesday.
Partly cloudy skies and rising
temperatures were on the weather
agenda for west Texas and the
north central portion of the state
Monday and Tuesday.
