^ 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.

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.

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

The programs will be adminis

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.

Living up to its reputation for

Option applications have
beexx xxiailed to very Aggie alum

chaser to a 30-yard lixxe seat or
better for the next 20 yeax-s.
Response has been so good, Ir
vin said, that the addition of 2,560
seats and the new, enlarged press
box’ is a cex-tainty and will be
ready by the 1953 season.
Under texms of the plan, the
options will sell for $50 each. Each
option is good for the pux-chase of
a ticket for each home game for
the next 20 yeax-s. The option
seats will be in the incx-eased addi
tion atop the west stands of Kyle
Field, between the 30-yax-d lines.
