here for the game thought
that this was a deplorable
situation, so he did something
about it.
He designated Hervey as
trustee of a fund to provide
more ladies’ rest rooms, and
sent a $25 check to start the
fund.

Veteran Backs
*
Hogs Are Priming
For Saturday Upset
By BOB BORISKIE
Battalilon Sports Editor
Coach Ray George plans to start a veteran backfield
against the Arkansas Razorbacks Saturday night in Little
Rock.
His choice leans to players with experience, since the oft-
defeated Hogs are dangerous on any given Saturday.
At quarterback will be Don Ellis, with Connie Magouirk
and Joe Boring at halfbacks, and Don Kachtik at fullback.
All four are fine defensive players, and can certainly
carry the ball when called upon. With the Hogs likely to put
everything into an effort to capture a win, backfield exper
ience may be the difference.
The Saturday contest has special appeal in that the Ag
gies’ Don Ellis will be pitted
against Lamar McHan, Hog
quarterback who is making a
serious bid for all conference
man-under honors.
Comparison of the two teams in
the latest Southwest conference
statistics shows McHan is putting
up quite a battle in most of the
departments where Ellis is the
leader.
In total offense, Ellis leads the
conference with 685 yards in 181
carries. McHan is second with 665
yards in 155 carries;
The leading punter in the league
is Sammy Morrow with a -48.4
average for 12 punts. Right behind
him is McHan with a 40.1 average
for 26 boots.
McHan moves ahead of Ellis in
the punt return column, ranking
third in the conference with a 12.7
yard average return, while Ellis is
fifth with a 7.2 average.
Ellis Grabs Enemy Tosses
Ellis leads the conference with
pass interceptions with 3, and an
average return per interception of
28.7 yards. McHan is not listed
among the leaders in that category.
Leading scorer in the SWC is
Ellis with 31 points, and here
again McHan does not register, but
in the passing department where
Ellis excels, McHan is putting up

Reds Lose Support in Unions
By JOHN CHADWICK
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON —The Commun
ists have “lost heavily” in member
ship and trade union support in
Western Europe during recent
years, a Senate foreign relations
subcommittee said in a report pub
lished today.
The 60-page study surveys the
strength, tactics and objectives of
the Communist movement through
out the world, country by country
and region by region.
While the report said Red
strength in Western Europe reach
ed a peak prior to 1947 and since
has declined, it expressed no com
placency about the Red menace
there or elsewhere in the world.
On the contrary, Sen. Wiley
(R-Wis.) said in an introduction
that “perhaps the most basic im
pression which will arise from
this study is the very rapid growth
of the Communist movement.”
Wiley is chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee and of
its security affairs subcommittee,
for which the study was prepared.
It said that, although Commun
ist party membership in Western
Europe has dropped heavily, the
Reds have succeeded in maintain
ing electoral strength in Italy,
France and Iceland.
S’iley gommentedj however, that,
“very often, Rarge Communist votes
as in France and Italy, represent
not so much pi - o-Communist votes,
as anti-government votes.” But he
cautioned that a small, highly dis-
Samuels Appointed
To Head Committee
John Samuels, Memorial Student
Center council president, has been
appointed chairman of the steer
ing committee for the region nine
meeting of the Association of Stu
dent Unions.
Samuels and t^e rest of the com
mittee will be in charge of all
plans for the meeting, which will
be Dec. 4 and 5 at Oklahoma A&M
college in Stillwater, Okla.
The national executive committee
of the Association of Student Un
ions appointed Samuels.
Samuels and about six other stu
dents from A&M will attend the
meeting. The other students have
not been definitely selected.
The meeting will include work
shops, banquets, and dances.
Samuels will make a speech at the
final banquet.
J. Wayne Stai’k, MSC director,
is advisor for region nine, which
includes Texas, Oklahoma, Ark
ansas and Louisiana, _____
ciplined Red group can succeed “in
a wrecking operation.”
In less than four decades since
the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia,
he observed, the Communists have
grown in strength until they now
control governments of one third
of the population and one fourth
of the area of the world.
To underestimate the Commu
nist strength “could prove to be
suicidal blindness,” especially in
view of the Soviet military poten
tial, he said.
In the 16 countries of Western
Europe, the report said, the Com
munist parties have an estimated
three million members and in na
tional elections poll about 13 mil
lion votes.
Observations in the report about
other area's of the world included:
Asia—“In general, the strength,
determination, and stability of As
ian non - Communist governments
has significantly reduced the
strength of indigenous Commu
nists. However, international de
velopments could at any time re
verse a favorable trend.”
Latin America - Communist par
ty membership has fallen from
some 330,000 in the 1944-47 period
to about 200,000. The party is now
“critically suppressed” in 12 of the
20 Latin American countries and
“in none is it an important elec
toral factor.”

Fund Shortage
Delays Marker
For North Gate
Funds from the class of
’53 were not enough to erect
the proposed entrance marker
at the north gate.
Harold Badgett, manager of
physical plants, said the project
might be started in the spring
after additional funds are raised
by the college.
The marker is to be made of
Austin lime stone and the letters
will be made of some metal that
contrasts with the stone. The
marker will be located between
Houston street and Sulphur
Springs road at the north gate.
The class of ’52 monumental
marker is sited for the east gate
on highway 6 but also needs funds.
The project was revised to cut
down the cost.
Robert F. White of the lands
cape and Horticulture department
will have to make a working draw
ing of the projects before con
struction will begin, said Badgett.
The class of ’53 has approximate
ly $2,000 in its treasury and the
class of ’52 has $1,500.
Lights will illuminate the mark
ers at night so persons driving by
will be able to distinguish them
clearly.

Wood Cutting
For Bonfire
To Start Nov. 9
The wood gathering area
for the bonfire has been se
lected.
Arrangements were made
by Monty Montgomery, Jim
my Tyree, Mac Gough, and Tommy
Arhopulos.
The seventy five acres of cut
timber is near Wellborn just off
the old Houston Road. Arhopulos,
’48, owner of the acreage, show
ed the group the timber and dis
cussed plans with Montgomery*
Since the timber was cut eight
months ago, no trimming will have
to be done. All there is to do is
stack it and get it out, Montgomery
said.
“We hope to have the first load
out Monday following the Rice
game. This year we are going to
be hauling when we were talking
last year,” said Montgomery.
Arhopulos said he would coope<
rate in everyway possible. The only
thing he asked was that the bom
fire’s ornamental top, usually call
ed the Tea Sip Tea Room, not b4
taken from his property.
Blood for Arnold
To Be Replaced
The blood given Charles Arnold,
hurt in an automobile accident, bj>
the Waco blood bank will be re'-
placed soon.
The blood donated was a rare
type, and an attempt is being made
to replace two pints for each one
used. A list of students having 0
negative type blood has been com
piled from old records, and each
person on this list will be contacted
by seniors of squadron 22 and
urged to donate to this cause.
Arnold’s outfit, squadron 22, is
scheduled to donate 24 pints of
blood when the bloodmobile arrives
at A&M. These 24 pints along with
the 0 negative blood will be sent
to the district that donated its last
pint of 0 negative blood.
“It would be wonderful if wa
could get a big turn out of th£
men with this type blood, so ws
could repay someone who helped
a buddy when he really needed it,”
said Bob Landrum, commanding
officer of squadron 22.
