Aggies Will Bailie
U of II Tomorrow;
First Home Game
By Bob Boriskie
Battalion Sports Editor
Over 30,000 football fans are ex
pected to trek into Kyle Field
Saturday night to watch the Ag
gies open their home grid season
with the University of Houston
Cougars.
Game kick-off time is 8 p. m.
Both squads list 21 I’eturning
lettermen from the teams that bat
tled to a 21-13 Aggie decision last
fall in Houston in the opening
game of the season.
The Aggie win tuined out to be
one of two losses the Cougars suf
fered during the season, and the
Cats will be clawing for revenge.
Leading the Cougar invasion will
be co-captains Paul Carr, fullback,
and Maurice “Buddy” Gillioz,
tackle. Both players are consider
ed as top prospects for All- Ameri
ca recognition this year.
Carr was a devastating lineback
er in the Missouri Valley confer
ence for the past two seasons and
was twice named as All-MVC line
backer. He averaged 5.3 yards per
carry in 1952.
Gillioz performed last season as
a teammate to All-America J. D.
Kimmel, and was somewhat obscur
ed by the brilliant play of Kimmel.
Gillioz is driving this year to take
Kimmel’s place on the select list.
Probable starting line-up for the
Cougars will be Paul Carr, full
back; Tommy Bailes, righ half
back; Billy Poison, left halfback;
And Bobby Clatterbuck, quarter
back.
At left end will be Marvin Dur-
renburger; George Hynes, right
end; Bob Chuoke, left tackle; Bud
dy Gillioz, right tackle; Ed Willey,
left guard; Wayne Shoemaker,
right guard; and Ed Willhelm, cen
ter.
The Aggies will counter the
hefty Cougars with a lighter but
fast moving aggregation of Don
Kachtik, fullback; Connie Ma-
gouir-k, left halfback; Joe Boring,
right halfback; and Don Ellis,
quarterback.
Band Schedules
Minstrel Drill
The Aggie band will perform
the drill of the minsti-els during
half time tomorrow at the Uni
versity of Houston game.
Coming on the field in a mas
sed sided entrance, they will do
two double left minstrel turns fol
lowed by a double counter march.
They will then perform a single
left minstrel turn and a lost- mo
tion counter march.
After this they will form the let
ters “U of H” and “AMC” facing
both sides.
They will march off the east
side of the field while still in the
“AMC” formation.
Drum major of the consolidated
band is Hugh Philippus, Mai'oon
band drum major is Baker Brogden
and drum major of the white band
is Ed Heimvill.
One hundred and sixty men will
march tomorrow.

Senate Approves New
Football Seating Plan
First Town Hall
Shows Will Be
Held in Guion
The delay in construction of
the new physical education
building has made it neces
sary to hold the American Al
bum of Familiar Music and
Charles Laughton Town Hall pro
grams in Guion hall.
Two or three concerts will be
held to accommodate everyone
wishing to attend the two pro
grams. The American Album of
Familiar Music is scheduled for
Nov. 17 and Charles Laughton for
Dec. 7.
Town Hall tickets were sold on
the assumption that the new physi
cal education building would be
completed in time for the first en
gagement, giving a larger seating
capacity than Guion hall.
Because of the steel strike, the
completion date for the gym has
been set back to next year.
All persons who have Town Hall
tickets, both students and non
students, will have their tickets
marked at the Office of Student
Activities for a 7 or 9 p. m. per
formance.
If necessary, a matinee will be
held on the same day.

Phillips Says
MSC Facilities
Open to All
Corps Scholastic Officer Carroll
Phillips told The Battalion he has
instructed fii-st sergeants that
freshmen have as much right as
anyone else to use all Memorial
Student Center facilities.
Phillips also said he told them
that freshmen in the Center were
not to be treated in anyway that
might be considered hazing.
Phillips, who is also a member
of the MSC council, said he gave
these instructions yesterday to
clairify how students have always
been expected to act in the MSC.
No new policies were set, he said.
Phillips spoke to first sergeants
from the new area.
Corps Commander Fred Mitchell
said yesterday that freshmen must
follow the Articles of the Cadet
Corps and corps traditions while in
the student center.
He said that class distinction is
not being abolished in the MSC.
A Battalion reporter asked Mit
chell if the first sergeants were
told not to allow verbal hazing pf
freshmen in.,the MSC.
Mitchell said “Hazing of any
type is non-existant anywhere in
the Corps of Cadets.”
MSC Holds Dance
Tomorrow Afternoon
The Memorial Student Center
music and dance committees are
sponsoring an informal dance from
2 to 5 p. m. tomorrow in the MSC
assembly room.
The dance is for all Aggies with
dates this weekend. Tickets are 50
cents a couple.
♦ In its first action of the year, the Student Senate accep
ted last night the part of the Kyle field seating committee's
report on the football game seating plan.
A motion was defeated to use a date card system where
by a cadet’s date carries a card with a code letter on it show
ing her where to sit.
The Senate’s opinion was that students should instruct
their dates on seating procedures in Kyle field. The group
also voted to have signs placed over ramp entrances denoting
the classification of the section.
The Senate passed a motion directing signs to be placed
over ramp entrances to Kyle field be made by and purchased
’Grom the MSC. The signs will
be of a semi-permanent na
ture.
V. M. (Monty) Montgom
ery, a member of the Senate
welcoming committee and head
yell leader, reported that he con
tacted members of University of
Kentucky’s student goveimment
while attending the game Satur
day.
A traffic committee was set up
by the Senate to investigate the
campus parking situation and make
recommendations on how the prob
lem can be eased.
Last year’s Senate traffic com
mittee made recommendations
which resulted in enlargement of
the dormitory 5 and Law hall park
ing lots.
John Benefield, a junior senator,
made the suggestion that if The
Battalion, printed notices of yell
practices, attendance at the func
tions would improve.
The Senate passed a motion re
questing that, if possible, The Bat
talion should follow this policy.
In an appeal for better student
attendance at yell practices, the
Senate adopted the following solu
tion:
“The tradition of yell
practice has long been the 1
Aggie student body’s J
method for signifying !
their support of A&M 1
teams. Yell practice is 1
held at 7 :05 every Tuesday 1
and Thursday night in the *
Grove.
“During a week in t
which a home game is ’
scheduled, the Thursday l
night yell practice is eli- !
minated and a Friday yell i
practice will be held at ‘
11:30 p.m. 1
“Support of this activity
is the responsibility of all 1
students attending A&M, ’
non-military as well as 1
military.”
Ted Uptmore, suggested that the
MSC chimes play the Aggie War
Hymn before every yell practice
so non-military students would
know it was being held.
A committee was formed to in
vestigate possible means of inform
ing non-military and married stu
dent when yell practice was being
held.
An investigation of distinguished
student privileges was given to
Senate representatives to the Stu
dent .Life Committee for action by
the SLC.
The Senate was of the opinion
that some departments of the col
lege are not adhering to regula
tions concerning DS cards.
