That is, student participation in the various committees of the Center has increased both in number and interest. But on an even higher plans of accomplishment is the fact that these committees, working together (something rarely done at A&M, are producing activities of varied interest to students. Latest and most noticeable accomplishments are the success of both the Cafe Rue Pinalle and the First Inter collegiate Talent show. Rue Pinalle, the “French type night club,” has proven itself both in student interest and participation. It is also paying for itself. The talent show also met with immediate success, and present plans call for a repeat performance. This is another step forward in the betterment of student relations between other Southwest schools, produced by the students with the aid of the MSC.

Taft is friendliest and most hu man in small groups. He is candid and not hesitant about giving his opinion after he’s carefully stud ied the problem. He is blunt and clear in debate. His voice is flat and somewhat sarcastic, especially over the radio. Taft walks fast and talks dc-. liberately. Invariably, he is calm/ and self-controlled. Taft’s adherence to principles has sometimes made him a lone wolf. He was widely criticized, for example, for declaring that the Nuremberg trials violated funda mental principles of American law and that the hangling of the 11 Nazi big shots would be “a blot on the American record.” E Coha] blend r \ balan ar ye w W be ca al j 6th A Glent treas swim TO BUY, 25c iectle *11 c ftFFI Btude day .1952 mil disi hea let era dis 12 15 I Do TYP: 40: rid: s to i ies.
