Governor Shivers to Speak
At Senior Ring Banquet
Shivers Speaks
Here Friday Noon
Governor Allan Shivers
Accepts Invitation
Of Senior President
Governor Allan Shivers of Texas will be
principal speaker at the annual Senior Ring
Banquet May 16, announced Bubba Blank,
senior class social secretary and Joe Mattei,
senior class president.
The distinguished state leader accepted
the invitation of the Class of ’53 president
to speak here at the final social function for
the senior class, which precedes the Senior
Ring Dance.
Writing to Mattei, Gov. Shivers said,
“Dear Joe: I am glad to learn that it will
be possible for me to accept your invitation
to address the Senior Ring Banquet May 16,
1953. Please send me, at your convenience,
details of the affair. Best wishes. Sincerely,
Allan Shivers.”.
Blank said no definite details for the ban
quet and dance have been worked out this far
in advance. He mentioned the banquet will
probably be held in Duncan Hall and the
dance in The Grove, as has been the practice
in recent years.
Suggestions for an orchestra for the
dance include two big name bands. Blank
said he is only nibbling with their agents,
however because they tentatively plan tours
through Texas in May. The bands are those
of Tommy Dorsey and Ray Anthony.

Adlai Stevenson in a three-stop
whirlwind campaign swing from
North to East to South Centi’al
Texas.
He told voters the Democrats

counts and they have nothing to
gain by going over to the Repub
licans.
The Democratic high command,
battling to win Texas’ doubtful
24 electorial vptes, spotted Bark
ley into areas where it felt spec
ial need of strengthening party
lines. He started his tour at Dallas,
flew here, then headed for Austin
and a night rally.
Challenge Shivers
There, at the state capitol, he
carried his challenge to the front
doorsteps of Gov. Shivers and At-
ty. Gen. Price Daniel, who are
leading a state Democratic Party
revolt against Stevenson and the
national party.
Robert Boulten, chairman of the
Tyler rally, estimated the crowd
there at 5,000.
Barkley sprinkled wisecracks
and good-humor responses to
hecklers into his Tyler speech.
“How about the tidelands?”
somebody yelled.
“Allright, how about the tide-
lands?” Barkley replied. “Do you
own any?”
“Not any more,” the heckler
came back.
Then Barkley asked the crowd
to compare “a little salt water”
with the money in their pockets
and in their bank accounts, with
the increase in home ownership,
with “more stable finances.” He
said these factox-s outweighed the
tidelands, beaxing down on the
Democx-atic “progress and pros-
pex-ity” theme.
“What About Korea”
Barkley’s remarks about the
United Nations followed a ques
tion: “What about Korea?” fi-orh
the crowd.
Pi'o-Stevenson leadex’s were
pleased with the turn-out hex - e, in
an area fx - om which Gen. Dwight
Eisenhowex-’s backers hope to dxaw
considerable strength.
At Austin, where an estimated
200 people welcomed Iiim at the
airport and another 200 cheei’ed
him at a brief hotel reception
Barkley said he was making “a
regular Democratic speech.”
“I’m citing gains Texas and the
nation have made, compai-ing them
with what we inherited 20 years
ago when we came in following the
Republican disastex*,” Barkley
said, in a rapid-fire sketch of
Democratic ax-guing points.
Plans for a football game be
tween the Air and Gx-ound forces
will be bi’ought befoxe the senior
class tonight at its meeting in
the MSG.
The pux-pose of the game, if ap-
px-oved by the seniors, will be to
raise money for the leplenishment
of the Student Air Fund.
Recommendations for the game
were drawn up in a recent meet
ing of a committee appointed by
the Student Life Committee “to
study the possibilities of holding
a fund-raising event.”
This committee, composed of
students and a repx - esentative from
both the faculty and the military
department, decided that the best
method of making the money
would be to have a football game
just after the Thanksgiving Holi
days between the Army and Air
Fox’ce gxoups.

The governor attacked Democra

the Democratic administration
Wednesday in a speech at Cleve

Shivers as accusing Stevenson of
not making Sense, and it said he
pi-edicts “several hundi'ed thous

Commenting on Shivers’ plan to

“W T ay Things Run”
AV. D. Fitch, Republican chair
man for Bxazos County, said, “The

of the tidelands, but because of the
way things ax-e being xun. Action

“The present administx-ation

future plans but I wouldn’t be sur-
px-ised if he xnxns on a Republican
ticket in the next election.”

HOUSTON, Oct. 30—A student
should be considered as the whole
and not as a student in a given
coux-se with a given number, said
Dr. D. B. Calvin, dean of the
University of Texas Medical
School at Galveston, yesterday.
Calvin was explaining his views
on “The Development and In-Ser
vice Training of Student Pex-son-
nel Administration,” a topic of
discussion at the annual conven
tion of the Texas Association of
Student Personnel Administratox-s
(TASPA.) The convention was
held on the University of Houston
campus AVednesday and Thursday.
About 70 persons attended.
“The working together of stu
dents, faculty and administrators
as a team will produce the ultimate
goal of each group; the best col
lege or univex-sity in the world,”
said AVillis M. Tate, vice px-esident
of Southern Methodist University.
Attending the meeting from
A&M were AV. L. Penberthy, dean
of men; G. C. (Spike) AVhite, di
rector of Student Activities; Rob
ert Murray, civilian, dox-mitox-y
counselor; Maj. Chai’les Taylox-,
military dormitory counselor; Ro-
company will have four men on
the front rank. These will be the
two platoon guides and the two
platoon leaders in their respective
positions.
All other upper classmen will
max-ch at the rear of the unit.
The xoute of march will be Dox-m
2 along the walk and past the
Music Hall to Lubbock Street and
on to Kyle Field.
Upon x-eaching the stadium the
units will entei' gate 2, by divi
sions, through the bowl of Kyle
Field, left across the south end
of the field, to the rear of the
stadium.
Collection of Tickets
First sex-geants and Sgt. Majors

fore the game and place them in
an envelope bearing the name of
the unit or staff and the number
of tickets.
Each envelope will cqntain a

land Bing, manager of Student
Publications; Harx-x Bakex-, execu
tive secretary of the SAVC Spox-ts-
manship committee; Frank Man-
itzas, co-editox-, The Battalion.
Baker Explains Committee
Baker explained the history and
objectives of the SAVC Spox-tsman-
ship Committee and its accomp
lishments. He was accompanied on
the discussion by T. F. Arner and
Don Tomasco, head cheerleader of
Rice Institute and the Univex-sity
of Houston, x-espectively.
Explaining some i-easons for
poor sportsmanship, Robert H.
Shelton, dean of men at Stephen
F. Austin .State College, declared
needlers were one of the main
causes of poor sportsmanship. He
also said rivalides, student vandal
ism, reei-uiting of players were
prime factors against spox-tsman-
ship.
“The worst sportsmanship I’ve
ever seen,” Shelton said, “was at
the University of Texas’ basket
ball games. It is brought about
easily by the some 10,000 students
who attend the games with the
many hoodlums in the cx-owd who
boo the players and officials.”
Bad At A&M, Too
Shelton explained that although
he had not been at A&M, he heard
it was bad there also.
“The retux-n to amateur sports
would be a big factor in promoting
spox-tsmanship,” Shelton said. “Do
ing away with special privileges
for athletes, such as individual
dormitox'ies, would help in bi-inging
the athletes back into the student
life and help sportsmanship.”
Shelton named the cheex-leaders,
athletes, and other student oi-gan-
izations as the key to work to
gether to promote good spox-ts-
manship between schools.
Among the other pi-oblems dis
cussed by the school administx-atox-s
were “The Religious Implications
of Counseling,” “Bx-inging Aca
demic Faculty and Pex-sonnel Offi-
cexs into a better Relationship,”
“AVhat Do AVe Mean By Student
Government ?”
After-Game Dance
Set for Ballroom
A dance will be held after the
game Satux-day night.
The Aggieland orchestxa will
play for the dance in the MSC
Ballroom following the game. Tick
ets are 75 cents per couple and
may be bought in the MSC direct
orate offices Fx-iday and Satux-day.
Refreshments will be sold at the
dance, Betty. Bolandex-, MSC pxo-
gram consultant, said.
The original invitation to Gov.
Shivers was issued by Mattei at a
banquet in Beaumont when the
governor spoke at a testimonial
dinner for A&M’s Olympic winner
Buddy Davis. The senior class
president pex-sonally invited Shiv-
ei’s to speak aftex- the banquet.
The governor jokingly said, “I’ll
come down thex-e if you will make
me an honorary Aggie or honorax y
meniber of your class.”
Gov. Shivers is a graduate of the
Univex-sity of Texas.
Honorary Aggie
Mattei px-omises that plans are
now undex-way for the formal an
nouncement and px-esentation of
Shivex-s as an honorary member of
the Class of ’53.
AVhile on the campus Gov. Shiv
ex-s will stay in the MSC.
Further arrangements are being
made for the Senior Ring Dance
weekend by Social Secretary Blank,
but as yet these arrangements are
unarxnouneed.
Blank Optimistic
Blank was very optimistic about
the success of the Senior Ring
Banquet and Dance, even at this
eax'ly date.
Commenting on the governor’s
acceptance, Mattei said, “I think
we are very fortunate in haying
Gov. Shivers to speak at our ban
quet. It shows that members of
the class are planning far enough
ahead to insuxe seniox-s of having
the best x-ing dance and banquet
ever held.”
