College Station Community Chest X Goal $11,019.00 Total now 4,400.53 Still needed 6,618.47 Extended deadline Nov. 19 # 9 Rice Plans Win No. 8 Seniors Table ‘Issue’ Will Meet Monday To Vole on ‘Board'' T?y JOEL AUSTIN Battalion Co-Editor The senior class tabled a motion last night to do away with the “board” as a means of physical hazing. They will vote again at a special called meeting Monday at 5 p.m. Class members agreed 94-65 to table the motion until all seniors could be notified of this vote to be taken. Those favoring to table the motion felt all seniors should have an opportunity to express their opinion on the matter. Physical hazing and use of a board is against college regulations and state laws, but has been evidenced through physical inspections held by college officials. The board has been used in defiance of existing laws and regulations. The seniors said if they stand as a group and eliminate use of the board, college authorities should be more consider ate in granting certain demands already presented through a grievance committee. Presented by O. C. (Putter) Jar-' vis, the motion read as follows: “We, the senior class, see the problems of the administration, es pecially hazing, which is deemed unlawful by the constitution of the state of Texas. We agree, as a body, to suspend the use of the board in the Coi-ps of Cadets be cause it is unlawful. And if this agreement is ever violated a com mittee composed of cadets in the corps, appointed by the president of the senior class, will make out positive and strict disciplinary measures immediately and justly to the violator. This program will function continuously through each succeeding class. “Now the class of 1953 has seen the problems of the Texas A&M College and has acted upon them. We respectfully submit a report of the problems of the Corps of Cadets and hope the board of di rectors and the college administra tors will follow the suggestions (See SENIORS, Page 3) Rice Tickets Go Off Sale At 5 Today A crowd of about 20,000 is expected for the Rice game Saturday, said C. D. Ownby, business manager of the ath letic office, yesterday. The sale of student guest tickets has been slow. Only about 600 guest tickets have been sold, he said. Student guest tickets go off sale at 5 p. m. today. No definite deadline has been set for the sale of stu dent tickets for the Univer sity of Texas game, but they will probably go off sale Thursday, Nov. 20, he said. All reserve tickets to the Texas game have been sold, but if all of the tickets allot ted to A&M are not sold, an other reserve seat section may be opened and those tickets used, he said. A capacity crowd is expected at the Thanksgiving Day game in Austin. Bonfire Construction Plans Now Underway Plans are underway for the building of the annual bonfire prior to the Turkey Day battle be tween A&M and Texas, according to Tom Collins, head yell leader and chairman of the bonfire com mittee. The actual construction of the mass of wood will start next Sun day. Wood will be cleared from land near here, located four miles east on highway 6. Route Marked “The route to the wood area will be marked so it will be easy to find,” said Collins. Collins estimated that they would need 36 axes, 78 extra hand les, 20 dozen wedges, four pounds staples, four cross-cut saws and two extra handles. All gasoline will be purchased from the service station that do nates crude oil to soak the wood before the fire is started. “This year’s wood will be most ly small, about six inches in diam eter, which willl make the fire pile tightlly packed,” said Collins. Tractor Available The Cade Motor Company will furnish a tractor for snaking logs. Also the Student Life Committee allocates $150 to be used in con struction of the bonfire. Col. Wilkins, assistant command ant, asked that organizations not steal road signs to use in the bon fire area. Plans are made to stop hauling wood in time to get all logs stack ed on the drill field. Enough tim ber will be cleared by Wednesday to start rotation hauling. “Names of the different bonfire committees will be announced as soon as possible,” concluded Col lins.

Ags May Fight Without Graves By ED HOLDER Sports Editor Coach Ray George of the Aggies has often said he could hardly afford to lose Ray Graves, quarterback of the Cadets and total offensive leader in the SWC. It looks like George and his squad will have to do without the services of the speedy man-under when they play their last home game of the 1952 season tomorrow on Kyle Field against the Rice Owls. Rice has started a come-back after defeating Arkansas 35-33, and will be trying to take another big step up the SWC ladder with a win over the Farmers. The Owls will also be trying to defeat the Cadets for the eighth straight time, since A&M last win over the Houston club came in 1944. Halftime activity for the game will be the honoring of all Aggies who have made the trip to the Olympic games. Twenty-five thousand fans will watch Darrow Hooper, Bud dy Davis, Jack Mahan, and Art Harnden take their bows for ac complishments i n outstanding track performances. Roy Dollar, who has been doing the punting for the Maroon and White, will be the most likely man to take over if Graves can't go against Rice. Dollar ran quarter back last week against when the cadet’s first string quarterback received a hip injury early in the third period. Don Ellis is another possibility to fill in for the injured Graves. Ellis has been running halfback during the year, but Coach George might call on him to run the Split- T and Straight-T formation for the Aggies. Either May Go Both men have been working out this week at the position, and either may get the nod to jump in to the shoes of the SWC’s lead ing quarterback. Dollar will be playing his last home game for A&M, as will Graves if he gets into the game. Other graduating seniors who will step onto Kyle Field in the Maroon and White uniform for the last time will be All-Ameri ca Jack Little, defensive tackle, Raymond Haas, halfback, and A1 Langford, another tackle. Marshall Rush, who has turned in some of the finest defensive work of the year will join the group. Bobby Dixon, offensive tackle for the Cadets will also be out to win his last home tilt. Others who are graduating this year are Don Moore, W. G. (Ox) (See OLYMPIC, Page 3) ment Station. R. D. Lewis, director of the Tex as Agricultural Experiment Sta tion; Miss Jessie Whitacre, head of the Department of Rural Home Re search of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station; G. G. (Hoot) Gibson, director of the Agricultur al Extension Service; Miss Gladys Martin, state home demonstration agent of the extension seiwice, and D. W. Williams, vice chancellor for agriculture for the System. Barlow to Speak At ASEE Meeting Dr. H. W. Barlow, dean of en gineering, will be the main speak er to the American Society for Engineering Education Thursday in the civil engineering lecture room.
