Wondering what to serve for des
sert when the bridge cl\ib comes ?
Here’s a suggestion: Arrange
broiled pineapple rings on sponge
cake squares and top with hot car
amel sauce and a fluff of whipped
cream. Plenty of calories in this
one, but it tastes awfully good!
Chatmans Kent
Another Home
Alter S ire
A house on Welborn road
has been rented by Mr. and
Mrs. Bennie Chatman, the
couple who lost their home
on Dec. (> because of fire in
the McCullough Addition near the
Lincoln high school for Negroes.
According to Rev. Charles Work
man, minister to students of the
A&M Presbyterian Church, the
people of Bryan and College Sta
tion have been very considerate to
Chatman and his wife. They have
provided the couple with clothes,
an iron bed, a mattress, and food
for their home.
The city gave the Chatmans a.
cook stove and offered them a
heater but since there is no gas
at their present home, it was re
fused.
Rev. Workman believes that the
only thing the couple needs now
is something to put on the floor
since the house is old and the
floor is cracked.

A&M Presbyterian
Students to Speak
Two A&M students will be study
group leaders at the Fifth Quad
rennial Youth convention of the
Presbytei’ian church to be held on
the campus of the Alabama Poly
technic intsitute at Auburn, Ala.,
Dec. 20-Jan. 1.
Franklin Clark, sophomore from
Aransas Pass, and Richard Me-
Glaun, freshman from Foley, Fla.,
will, lead Bible study groups dur
ing the convention.
Aziz Bayan from Iran and Wan
Yuin Chang of China will represent
A&M Presbyterian students from
overseas.
Charles Workman, A&M minis
ter to students, will lead a discus
sion group in the field of critical
isues following an address by Dr.
John A. Mackay, president of
Princeton Theological seminary.
Several other A&M students are
planning to attend.
“In my book I attempt to explain
why the culture of some periods is
romantic in tone, while that of
others is rationalistic in tone,”
Mayo said.
“It also shows that in the ro
mantic periods the man of feeling
is admired, while in the x’ationalis-
tic periods the man of sense is ad
mired. My book attempts to prove
that the two types of men altei’-
nate fi’om age to age like the
swing of a pendulum.”
The book begins around the year
1000 A. D. and traces this altex’-
nation up to the px’esent day. It
also studies the methods of free
expi’ession and aid in each period.
“My book has a two-fold pui’-
pose—to establish the fact of the
alternation and to show why this
happens. The explanation of why
this happens is that the cultux’e of
age is always X’omantic when the
ruling forces are xxew forces, and
always rationalistic when the rul
ing fox’ees ax’e old forces,” Mayo
said. \
Mayo, who spent sevexx weeks in
Europe last summer studying the
architecture of the Middle Ages
and the Italian paintings of the
Renaissance period, added that this
therapy has developed in his mind
dux’ing the last 20 years and has in
fluenced his x’eading, teaching, and
thinking.
He decided to document and
pi’ove it in book form. He has
outlined the book, tentatively writ
ten several chapters, and continues
his note-taking for it.
He is applying for a Fultmght
gi’ant, which would enable him to
study ixx Europe for nine months
xxext year.
Curi’ently Mayo is on the Rhodes
Scholarship committee, which
chooses several college students to
x’eceive scholarships to Oxford uni
versity in England.
City Hall to Close
During Christmas
The College Station city hall will
be closed Dec. 25 and 26.

the city offices were closing to
give the. employes a chance to
travel.
“We will he open again Monday
after Chrislmas,” he said.
The offices are open half a day
on Saturday. Since Christmas is on
prizes were awarded for the Friday, Boswell felt it would be
Bridge-O games. better to close Dec. 26.
