Battalion Number 16: Volume 54 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1954 Price 5 Cents Fall Military Day Set Dances, Concert Highlight Weekend LOOKING FOR SOMEONE?—There will be no cadets dropping into the manholes that were covered by this-dirt Wednesday. The military department had requested that the area be leveled and the two manholes tops be covered. These two cadets, Gilbert A. Rodriques, left, and Rolland L. Galle, seem to be thinking about Saturday when they will be walking across the newly-covered plot in the Military Day review. Two dances and a concert will round out the social side of the weekend for A&M. Dick Jurgens and his band will play for a concert and dance Sat urday night, and Cafe Rue Pin- alle will have its last performance of the year tonight. (See chart below for a com plete weekend schedule) Dick Jurgens and his 14-piece band can say their slogan here and really mean it. The slogan is “Here’s that band again,” and this- is Jurgens third trip to A&M. He played for an All-College dance two years ago, and a Ring dance. The concert will be in Guion Who Will Start for Aggies? Bryant Says He Doesn’t Know hall at 7:15 p.m., and the dance will be in Sbisa hall from 9 p.m. to midnight. Tickets for both performances will be available at the student activities office, Goodwin hall, un til noon Saturday. They will also be sold at the door. A floor show from Sam Houston State college will highlight Rue Pinalle’s last show tonight. Fea tured will be dancer Schalmahar Brannson, singers Betty Tread way and Jack Shultze, and a chor us line. Ernie Martelino and his combo will play for dancing. Dancing beingins at 8:30 p.m and the floor show will be at 10:30 p.m. Place is the MSC games area. Rue Pinalle will close in time for the traditional home-game mid-night yell practice, which will be at 11:30 p.m. in the Grove. A&M’s down-trodden Cadets play Rice here tomorrow, and after they had completed nearly all prepara tions, Head Coach Paul Bryant yesterday didn’t know who he was going to start against the Dicky Moegle-led Owls. The Aggies haven’t beaten Rice in nine years, and after yester day’s pi'actice Bryant said, “May be they (the Aggies) decided the season is over.” The Cadets worked on offense, defense, returning kickoffs and covering punts. After they were through, Bryant said, “We could have accomplished more if they l|ad stayed inside and rested today. They certainly accomplished noth ing out’ there. Maybe they’ve de cided the season is over, I don’t know.” “That team out there today ditb n’t slightly resemble the team we’ve had all season,” Bryant said. Asked for a starting lineup, he said, “I’m going to wait until to morrow and see if we’re going to have 11 boys that want to play.” “I don’t know,” he sighed, “maybe the season is over.” Based on the way the first team has lined up in practice, a prob able starting eleven for the Cadets is Gene Stallings and Bennie Sin clair at ends, Larry Winkler and Bill Schroeder at tackles, Ray Bar rett and Dennis Goehring at guards, Lloyd Hale at center, El- wood Kettler at quartrback, Joe Schero and Billy Huddleston at halfbacks, and Don Kachtik at fullback. Richard Vick and Jack Pardee also are due to see lots of playing time at fullback, with Kachtik sometimes changing to halfback. Rice probably will start La- moine Holland and Marshall-Craw ford at ends, Jay Riviere and Ed die Rayburn at tackles, Don Costa and Kenny Paul at guards, Don Wilson at center, Pinky Nisbet at quarterback, Moegle and Morris Stone at halfbacks and Mac Tay lor at fullback.

The other portion of the display shows a Microcard projector, a Verif^x and a Contiura machine. These machines are exhibited un der the motto, “Modern Library Machines in Education,” and each functions as an aid to the reader in locating and obtaining research material. The Microcard projector is a machine with a viewing screen which magnifies 3 by 5 cards on which 30 to 60 book pages have been imprinted. With the machine, the individual pages can be easily read. Most interesting machine in the display is the Verifax printer, which makes a photostatic copy of any material desired while the reader waits. The whole process takes less than two- minutes. Badgett Attends Managers Meet Howard Badgett, manager of the physical plants, returned re cently from Stillwater, ■ Okla. where he attended a meeting of Physical Plant Administrators of the central states. Problems dealing with all phases of physical plant management were discussed at the conference. Orders Taken For Directory Orders for the official direc tory of student and faculty are now being taken in the office of student publications, second floor of Goodwin hall. The directory, which will probably be out this month, will cost 75 cents, and will contain the directory of staff, students and offices, according to the publications office. Many people were unable to get the directories because they did not place their orders in time, said Mrs. Polly Patranella, of the publications office.
