Senior candidates 'nunlber 52, "with 48 filing for senator and 4 for the election commission.

Keeling, ^ Myers Says Humor False; Explains Order Col. Shelly P, Myers, PMS&T of the college, corrected the rumor today tthat the corps would re ceive a drastic cut in draft defer ments. The rumor originated when Col. Myers issued a memoran dum stating that all cadets would have their records reviewed by a board to determine if they were still eligible for draft deferments. Those primarily concerned are students who failed to pass a min imum of 12 hours in the preceding semester or Imve failed to main s' tain an acceptable grade point ratio. Students with contracts will not be affected by the order un less they fail to meet academic $ standards of the college, said Col. Myers. The reviewing board will con sist of two officers appointed by the PMS&T and a member of the faculty who will be appointed by fie college. In handling its re view, the board will review lists ind recommendations of senior in structors, examine such records as {hey deem necessary, conduct such interviews as they deem appropri ate, and submit their recommenda tions to the PMS&T, explained Col. Myers. Further information will be giv en about the deferment proce dure at a commanders meeting sometime this week, Col. Myers said. $fctem Comptroller „ Modified Service W. H.

(See JUNIOR ELECTION, pp. 2) Cezanne, Renoir, Matisse, Tou louse-Lautrec, Picasso and Roualt ai-e just some of the famous mod ern artists whose works are on display in the main and promen ade showcases in the MSC. Appearing for the first time at A&M, the paintings are all of Fi-ench or Spanish origin. Some works are abstract, others cubist, still others are lithographs and etchings. " • Calder’s wire statue of the “Acrobats” is one df the featured pieces of the show, sponsored by Houston’s Contemporary Arts As sociation. The association originally began as a gallery but through conti-ibu- tions from estates and friends now owns some of the finest examples of modem art in the Southwest. An interesting sideline to the exhibit is the fact that Preston Bolton, son of president-emeritus F. C. Bolton, is head of the asso ciation. All 38 of the paintings, prints, statuary, etchings, posters, and lithogi-aphs on exhibition by the art gallery committee of the MSC are insured for over $6,500. In an exhibit last spring of a Van Gogh and a Renoir, those two paintings alone were insured for approximately $47,000. Of course, these two painting were originals, and a large portion of the present exhibit is reproductions. The first in a proposed series of radio programs from the MSC goes on the air at 5 p. m. today. With Willard Jenkins “emceeing”, the program will have news of MSC activities, a general descrip tion of Center facilities, and music from “Finian’s Rainbow.” Jenkins will preside over the twice-weekly program on Tues days and Thursdays. He is a soph omore architecture major from Lampases. The purpose of the series is to keep the residents of College Sta tion and students informed of MSC activities, according to Ray Daven- port, assistant to the dmector of the MSC. On Thursday’s program, a med ley of songs from “Showboat” is The Southwest Conference Spoi-tsmanship Committee elected Harri Baker of A&M its Executive Secretary at a meeting Monday in Fort Worth. A sophomore journalism major fi’om Memphis, Tenn., Baker will assume the duties of the office which was permanently established at A&M two years ago. Baker will handle all secretarial duties of the organization and maintain its permanent files. The committee met in the Texas Christian University Student Lounge yesterday, with represen tatives from all seven Southwest Conference schools attending. Present at the meeting were stu dent body presidents, head yell leaders, student newspapei* editors, and representative athletes. The committee assumed the task of educating fans and alumni in addition to students in the prin cipled of good sportsmanship. Members of the group felt that One of Pablo Picasso’s cartoon strips, “Sueno y Mentira” has drawn considerable comment from students who have seen the show. A painting in the main showcase which has brought a lot of “What it it’s?” is Ernest’s “The Inspired Hill”, done entirely in red and shades of red. Some students expressed a belief that “anyone” who could bend a coat-hanger, could do a wire sculp ture similar to “Acrobats;” thus far, no one has offered to try. Toulouse-Lautrec, about whom a movie is presently being filmed in Paris, has two lithographs on dis play. They are “Mary Hamilton” and “Clowns.” The most expensive piece in the show is an oil painting by Preus- ser entitled “Regatta.” Valued at $200 it is a colorful example of abstract modern art. Other artists not mentioned be fore include Bonnard, Braque, Chagall, de Chirico, Lalanne, Mat- ta, Pisarro, and Rodin. All these artists, some living some dead, have performed great works of modern art. The purpose of the art gallery committee in bringing different types of art to the campus is to show students, city residents, and guests on campus that all art is not necessarily a true reproduction of real life, and to increase art appreciation. tentatively scheduled besides news of the MSC. The broadcasts will be made di rect from the Student Center. The location of the broadcast spot will occasionally vary. The radio sec tion of the MSC public relations committee hopes to have a few broadcasts originate in the foun tain room. Included on the agenda for to morrow’s program is a list of fu ture MSC activties such as Cafe Rue Pinalle, dances, and meet ings. The programs will be adminis tered by the MSC public relations committee whose function is to inform the public, through all pos sible media, of Center activities. people other than students attend ing athletic contests also were re sponsible for unsportsmanlike practices. Sub-Committees At the suggestion of the A&M delegation, the committee voted to establish sub-committees for sportsmanship at all schools. These committees will work with the students and attempt to uncov er problems which hamper good sportsmanship. The sub-commit- tees also will make recommenda tions to Sportsmanship Commit tee members to carry to their meetings. Also suggested by A&M was bet ter conduct at intersectional ath letic contests. A few incidents were brought out concerning this mat ter, such as seat pillows being thrown into the A&M student sec tion after the Oklahoma A&M football game. Newspaper editors attending the meeting agreed to exchange stor ies and articles about their re spective schools prior to athletic contests between two conference schools. The stories will include pertinent data about each school and activities planned for the weekend, or time of the game. Ballot Kept Secret The committee voted to keep Secret the results of the first bal lot taken to select the Sportsman ship Trophy winner. This ballot is taken in May, with the second vote scheduled on Jan. 1, prior to the Cotton Bowl game when the tx-pphy is presented. The committee agreed to send a copy of the Sportsmanship Code to each pei’son allowed a vote in selecting the trophy winnex-. It also decided to send a x-ating slip with each ballot to see how schools stand on diffex’ent points of sports manship. Speaking, to the gx-oup at a noon luncheon, Dr. Henry Hardt, chair man of the TCU athletic coun cil, warned that colleges are los ing the x’espect and admixation of the genei v al public. (See SPORTSMANSHIP, Page 2) Ex-GIs Bid To Paint Tank Latest news in regax-d to the x’ecent tank troubles is the sub mitting of bids by ex-GIs, expext in the use of brush and paint. Wilson Davis, Bob Huey and Walter Midgely ax'e willing to sub mit a bid of $750 dollars for repainting the x-ecently damaged tanks. Estimates of the military depaxtment was $1500 for the job. The thx’ee men who have taken the name of “Painters Inc.” real ize this is a cut i-ate price and if they do the work themselves and even purchase the paint at x’etail places they will not be able to make too much over $500 profit. They said they axe willing to do this just so the poor tax payer won’t get gypped any mox-e than usual, that’s why they are willing to make only 200 per cent profit. The paint job will include a hand rubbed finish and a simonize wax job. Yellow ribbon for the radio antennae will be added at a small extra charge. Gay Released From Hospital Clarence (Buck) Gay, sophomore who was injuxed in a donnitoxy ac cident Wednesday night, was i - e- leased from the college hospital Satux-day morning.

Ezzell 4 By JERRY BENNETT At first the little man in the beige suit and red necktie seemed out of place in fxont of the group of green sport coats which held assorted musical instxuments. But when he sounded the first note on the trumpet which he car ried, the cxuwd which packed Guion Hall last night knew Ray Anthony was on stage x’eady to lead “The Nations Number One Band” in one of the finest performances in Town Hall’s history “Young Man With A Horn” From the moment the cux’tains opened to the notes of “Young Man With A Hoxu” until they closed to the same melody, the entix-e audience was captured by the thrill of hearing good popular music played as it should be. Living up to its reputation for top music the Anthony oxchestra pxesented a concert of pops and jazz which never dragged or lacked vai’iety. For a full two hours it kept the capacity crowd clapping, shouting, and even begging fox- more. In addition to the brilliant or chestrations arranged in the fa mous Anthony style, the program included three pretty girl vocalists, Tommy Mex-cer who handled the The All-Aggie Rodeo was a tre mendous success with approxi mately 1500 attending, said Jack Willingham, president of the Sad dle and Six-loin Club.
