Delegation
A&M students were wel
comed to spend the weekend
at the Baylor campus by
Glenn Walker, president of
the Baylor student body.
Speaking- at yell practice with a
delegation of three other Baylor
students, Walkei - declared that
A&M always had been a friendly
campus to him. He explained that
the recent painting sprees on both
campus were of an unfortunate
nature and that such events should
cease.
The West Gate Memorial re
ceived a splashing of green and
yellow paint sometime Wednesday
night. The words “Baylor” a n d
letters “BU” were in green paint
on the natatorium walls and out
side The Grove. Some painting
also was done on Hart Hall.
W. L. Penberthy, dean of men,
said the finger of accusation can
not be pointed at anyone, since
there is no evidence available as
to whom might have painted the
signs. Penberthy added he called
the Baylor’s dean of men who told
him that the letters “A&M” had
been painted on the Baylor cam
pus in black shoe polish. Baylor’s
dean said he did not think Aggies
were responsible.
Head Football Coach Ray George
asked that A&M students not re
taliate.

Chest Changes Mind
Recreation Council
Funds Reconsidered
The Community Chest commit
tee has reconsidered the College
Station Recreation Council’s appeal
for funds.
The eommittee decided to give
the Recreation Council the $1,000
they originally requested, provided
enough money is made on the
drive to do this without cutting
any of the other participant’s al
lotment.
When the original budget was
drawn up, the Council’s request
was cut to $500. Donald Burchard,
chairman of the Recreation Coun
cil, presented their appeal to a
meeting of the Chest committee
yesterday.
As the goal for the Chest is now
Band to i Spell'
While Moving
Formation of lettei's w h i 1 e
marching will be the Aggies Con
solidated Band’s main attraction
for halftime entertainment at the
Baylor game Saturday, Lt. Col. E.
V. Adams, band director, said to
day.
“It will be the first time since
1947 that the Aggie band has at
tempted this,” Col Adams added.
About 300 members of the fresh
man and uppei-classman bands will
be taken to Baylor, the band di
rector explained.
Halftime ceremonies will begin
with the Cadet band moving on
the field in a continuous counter
march and dividing as they march.
The two bands will cross through
each other and come out in a mov
ing formation spelling out “B-A-
Y-L-O-R.”
After closing formation, the
bands will move toward the A&M
seating section in the form of a T
and melt as they hit the sidelines.
Weather Today
set at $10,519, a total of $11,519
will have to be collected for the
Recreation Council to get the ad
ditional $500.
The Chest goal was originally
set at $12,519, but the withdrawal
of the Red Cress from the drive
brought the goal down by $2,000.
The Community Chest drive is
set for Nov. 1-10. According to
Bennie Zinn, chairman of the
Chest committee, the goal can be I
reached if ev< ry one working in
College Station will donate one
day’s pay.
Employees of the college will be |
solicited through their depart
ments. Business establishments
and College Station residents who
do not work for the college will
be contacted by members of the
Chest committee.
A letter explaining the purposes
and functions of the Community
Chest will be sent to every one who
is to be contacted.
Ross Hall Gun
Does It Again
In Early Morn
Ross Hall’s left front 57
mm antitank gun was reacti
vated again at 1:20 a.m. today.
Two explosions were set off
mysteriously in the muzzle of
the gun. Previous blasts were
reported as coming from the
gun earlier this year.
Chief Fred Hickman of the
Campus Security Office ex
plained that other explosions
were reported in front of Sbisa
Hall at 12:05 a.m. last night
and at the Grove at 1:20 a.m.
today.
“We have no idea what it
was,” Hickman added.
T h e military department
authorities were unavailable
for comment.
Dr. M. T. Harrington, president
of the college, accompanied by
Col. John A. Way, PAS&T, re
turned here yesterday after at
tending the Air Force’s orienta
tion conferences at the Air Uni
versity, Maxwell AFB, Montgom
ery, Ala.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, the
AF vice chief of staff, spoke to
some of the nation’s leading edu
cators representing 95 universi
ties and colleges which have AF
ROTC units.
The AF General warned his au
dience that the Air Force doesn’t
have enough men with the “cour
age, determination and high intel
ligence” necessary to defeat a
“despearte and resourceful ene
my.”
And, he said, that is one of the
“potential tragedies of our times.”
Too many people, he said, feel
that “safety and ease and narrow
self-interest are sufficient and
praiseworthy for young men to
seek.”
He deplored what he called “the
notion that an intellecutal and
physical courage and daring are
no longer necessary to our sur
vival as a nation.”
It is only through “your coopera
tion,” he told the college officials
who have ROTC in their schools,

that the Air Force has been able
to “find any means of providing
a limited professional education
for its future leaders.”
Consequently, he said, it us up
to the colleges and universities to
provide “the right kind of men
so this nation need have no fear.”
Thomas K. Finletter, secretary
of the Air Force also participated
in the one-day conference at the
Air University.

The Aygies meet a Home-Coming-Inspired Baylor eleven
tomorrow in what was forecast before the beginning of the
season as a battle for the cellar.
Coach Ray George will take his Cadets to Waco in hopes
of climbing another step up the SWC ladder. The Maroon and
White has already bettered what was forecast for them by
winning two games, losing two, and tieing one.
The Bears have also written an impressive record. They
were rated next to the Aggies in preseason polls, hut now
have the best win-loss record in the conference for the season.
Another outstanding factor to add to the surprising
Baylor accomplishments is they are first in the conference in
total offense. The Aggies, however, are last in defensive
records. *• * • ** ’ i
Several revisions in the Aggie line-up have been made
"during the week, but none of them
are definite. Coach George has
been trying men out at different
positions, and switching their dut
ies, but he has not announced any
of these as being pei-marfent.
The change made in last week’s
TCU tilt of Marvin Tate from of
fensive to defensive guard will
probably go into the Bear - game.
Ray BaiTett, who took Tate’s
place against the Frogs, has a
minor injury, and may not be able
to go against the Bears.
Howai’d Zuch, defensive end, has
been running at halfback on a
few plays the past week. Hub
Scott, defensive halfback, has also
been alternating at trying the of
fensive backfield.
Graves Runs Split-T
Ray Graves, third in the nation
in passing offense, will do the
quarterbacking for the Farmers.
He will operate the split-T for
Coach George, and is expected to
keep the aA’ial end of the game
going. Raymond Haas, out of the
TCU game because of injuries, will
be i-eady to go at. halfback again.
The little scatback from Kings
ville will start the game and be
backed by Pete Mayeaux who took
over Haas’ spot against the Frogs.
Don “Babe” Ellis will be at the
other halfback, and Connie Ma-
gouirk, powerhouse fullback, will
fill out the backfield.
Offensive Line
Eric Miller, offensive left end
who received an injury just before
the Oklahoma A&M game, is still
not able to play at full strength.

One-Story House
Ruined by Fire
A small, one story, frame house
was destroyed by fire at North
Washington and Pear in Bryan

escaped the burning dwelling, how
ever, without injury.
The Bryan Fire Department,
which received the alarm at about
3 p. m. arrived to find the bouse
completely enveloped in smoke and
flames. Although the fire was
quickly bi’ought under control, the
house and all personal belongings
were a total loss.
This was the thii’d house in Bry
an to be destroyed by fire within

Talked by Unit COs

ton, president of the college (left) and Col. John A. Way,

Volunteer Air Reserve Training
Squadron Monday at 7:30 p. m. in
the MSC.
The speaker will be Lt. Col. V.
E. Schember, who will discuss
“Pay, Allowances, and Other
Funds.” A training film will com
plete the program.
Changes and clarifications in
i certain uniform regulations were
announced yesterday at a meeting
! of all corps unit commanders. Com
mandant Col. Joe Davis told the
; commanders fatigue uniforms will
be worn with jumpers tucked in
the trousers. The regulation, he
said, applies to all students in the
corps.
Davis said juniors and seniors
will wear white belts with the fa
tigues, while freshmen and sopho-
moi’es will wear kahki or fatigue
belts. Senior cadet officers will
wear their branch insignia on the
left collar and rank, the right col
lar of fatigues.
Not Enough Men
The commandant also asked
commanders to see that all cadet
non - commissioned officers had
sewed on all uniforms, including
blouses.
The commanders decided to form
the traditional “T” at halftime
during the Aikansas game. Head
yell leader Tom Collins announced
work would start on the bonfire
immediately after the Rice game.
Lt. Col. Taylor Wilkins, assistant
commandant, cautioned command-
ers about buying axes and other
supplies for working on the bon
fire. He suggested they first
check to see what equipment is al
ready available through the corps
supply sergeant.
Col. Davis Approves
Upon the recommendation of
First Division Commander Joe
Wallace, Colonel Davis approved
the band’s request to continue
their April 1 tradition of playing
for dinner formation in uniforms
suggestive of April Fool’s Day.
Colonel Wilkins announced a
standby inspection will be held in
the dormitories soon. He did not
give the exact date. A commander
asked why the corps couldn’t be
given an hour off from drill if an
hour of their time is to be taken in
a “before breakfast” inspection.
May Miss Drill
PMS&T Col. Shelly P. Myers
told the commander he would in
vestigate the possibilities of allow
ing cadets to miss a drill period
if rain didn’t cause the cancellation
of drill sometime this year.
The commanders discussed per
formance of the band at reviews
and passbys. One man said the
band had missed a half step in
cadence when his company passed
the reviewing officers at a recent
passby. Members of the band as
sured him this hadn’t happened.
Compliments Band
Charles Little, commander of
Squadi’on 10 suggested the band be
complimented for its fine job rath
er than criticized; “The band is one
of the corps’ greatest assets,” Lit
tle said.
Colonel Davis suggested cadets
wear civilian clothes to Waco and
then change into uniforms. Winter
uniforms will be regulation at the
game, he said. The commandant
also announced the corps would be
gin wearing ties all day Monday
when winter uniforms become reg
ulation.
