Most College Stationites Agree
Wotes Cast For Better Man—Ike’
By HARRI BAKER
V Battalion City Editor
The people of College Station
forgot party lines yestei-day and
voted for the man that they
thought would make the best
leader.
As Marion Pugh, city council
man said, “It’s time we put coun
try over party. I’ve voted demo
cratic in the past, but I voted for
Eisenhower this time because I
think he’s the best man.”
First-Time Voter
A first-time voter, Bill Vost,
"who works for the Engineering Ex
tension Service said, “I like the
democratic party, but I think Ike
is the better man.” Vost went on
to say that he had two brothers
who served under Eisenhower in
the last war, and that they both
thought a lot of him.
Vost expressed another common
sentiment when he said “Anyway,
*1 had never heard of Stevenson
before the conventions.”
“Eisenhower and Nixon are the
closest to what I want,” said Maj.
Charles Taylor, college dormitory
counselor. “I’m sick of Truman
and his give away show. It’s time
the government stopped handing
out all this money.”
Betty Bolander, MSC Program
Consultant expressed her views
simply by saying “Oh, I hope Ike
wins!”
Jim Reed, a senior at A&M, gave
the views of many student voters
when he said, “Most of us are get
ting ready to do a little fighting
and I want a man in there who
has a little guts.”
Another student viewpoint was
expressed by Douglas Cunning
ham, also a senior. He thought that
whoever won would win by a land
slide, but he was going to vote
“not exactly for Stevenson, but
against Eisenhower.”
Of course, everyone wasn’t for
Eisenhower. Mr. A. J. Katchinis-
kie said “I just vote Democratic.
I’ve always voted Democratic; it
doesn’t make any difference who
the leader of the phrty is.”
Robert A. Houze, college libra
rian, also thought it would be a
landslide, but definitely for Eisen-
I bower. “People are voting for the
man, not the party,” he said. “I’m
voting for Eisenhower because I
admire his principles, honesty, and
courage.”
And then there was Bob Ven
able, who works for the Engineer
ing Extension Service. Before he
went into the polls he said, “I’m
going to play it shrewd and vote
for Adledwight Stevenhower.”

Kirk Behaves in Big Sky
By JERRY BENNETT
Amusements Editor
(THE BIG SKY, starring Kirk
Douglass, Dewey Martin, Eliza
beth Threatt. RKO Radio.—
Campus Theatre.)
“The Big Sky” gives: Kirk Doug
las a chance to portray something
besides a heel in the best outdoor
movie since “Red River.”
Filmed in the Grand Teton Na
tional Park of Montana and Wy
oming, the movie concerns the ad
ventures of a group of fur trap
pers who take a keelboat up the
Missouri River to explore the wild
erness of the northwest.
Douglas takes advantage of his
role minus the usual smirks and
sneers to play an adventurer who
goes along for the ride and winds
up fighting Indians, a rival fur
company and the hardships of na
ture.
Although an abundance of hu
mor is used throughout the film,
the basic theme of “The Big Sky”
is one of raw savagery. This theme
is brought out through the dia
logue scenery, characters and ac
tion. Dudley Nichols’ script uses
the speech of the frontiersman
with no regard for the niceties of
English grammar which sometime
appear in movies of this type.
The scenery is majestic in its
loneliness. It covers a wide ex
panse of winding rivers, thick
forests, and towering mountains
topped with snow and drifting fog.
“The Big Sky” gains its desired
atmosphere by not using techni
color photography, so that mood is
accented instead of beauty.
Each character borders on the
thin line between savagery and
civilization. Each is a person who
has spent his life fighting for sur
vival with his bare hands and will
kill at the slightest provocation.
Although Dewey Martin, Arthur
Hunnicutt, and Douglas give their
I roles this quality, they add enough
warmth and humor to make their
characterizations believable.
Elizabeth Threatt uses a mini
mum of dialogue to effectively
convey her part of a wild Indian
princess while Hank Worden pro
vides the film’s comedy as a half
wit Indian who loves scalps and
liquor.
“The Big Sky” action is the
most violent filmed in sometime.
Most brutal scene: Dewey Martin
throws a flaming torch in the face
of a rival trapper.
