in the spacious grounds of Yankee
Stadium.
Podres and Hodges just didn’t
mind tempting fate at all, yester
day. And the Dodgers are now
celebrating their first World
Championship.
Duke Snider, powerful center-
fielder for Brooklyn, hit four
homeruns during this year’s Series
—the second time he has perform
ed that feat. He now has nine
homeruns in World Series play,
one more than Joltin’ Joe Dimag
gio, and stands third behind Lou
Gehrig and Babe Ruth.
Podres’ clutch victory was his
second of the Series; his first was
in the third game, 8 to 3, which
started Brooklyn on the comeback
trail.

The old phrase “I’ve been work
ing over a hot stove all day” has
rung through many a household but
Mary Briggs, director of the • MSC
Craft Shop, could probably top
them all.
Among her many duties, Mary
manipulates the complicated kiln
which reaches a top temperature
of 1,900 degrees over a period of
eight hours.
The kiln is one of, if not the
most important; phase of ceramics.
Every ceramic piece has at least
two and sometimes three “firings”
in the kiln.
“But there is tedious work ac
quainted with ceramics before the
kiln comes into the light,” said
Mrs. Briggs, wife of Charles
Briggs, senior dairy production ma
jor.
Mrs. Briggs teaches ceramics to
60 students and wives, along with
leather tooling, metal works and
sculpturing.
“This is the largest early enroll
ment the Crafts Shop has ever
had,” said Mfs. Briggs, “and we
expect about 20 more students in
the class.”
Most of the 48 students wives in
the classes are interested in cer
amics, their chief purpose being
Christmas gifts.
Ceramics pupils have a variety
of 40 models to choose from in se
lecting their subject, 14 of which
were purchased for the shop last
year.
“These molds run from lamp
bases to figurines,” says the exper
ienced teacher. “One wife is mak
ing her own 12 piece pottery set.
The process is fairly simple but
great care has to be taken when
handling the fragile pieces, she ad
ded.
The liquid clay sets for about an
hour when it is poured into the
molds, then after its removal, must
dry for approximately 12 hours.
It is next sanded or scraped
smooth and painted in preparation
for the first firing. After the eight
hour firing, it remains in the kiln
24 hours while it cools.
The ceramic piece is then paint
ed with a glazed finish and fired
again. Gold or china finish re
quires a third firing.
“We hope to have another kiln
installed in time for the Christmas
rush,” said Mrs. Briggs.
Although ceramics takes a ma
jority in the shop, there are sev
eral students interested in leather
tooling. One in particular, a pro
fessional tooler, is James Miller,
freshman, who has tooled saddles,
boots and designed patterns for
leather shops.
Classes are held in the Craft
Shop from 1-5 p.m. every day ex
cept Wednesday and Sunday and
7-10 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day.
Students and wives may come
any time they want unless classes
grow too large.
Enrollment in the Craft Shop is
$1 per semester for students and
wives. The clay or leather goods
are sold at the shop.
“Sculpturing or free-form, as it
is called, may be done here,” says
Mrs. Briggs, “but the potter’s
wheel takes so much time and prac
tice, very few students or wives
ever tackle it.”
When questioned about the length
of time it takes a student to catch
on to the knack of ceramics, Mrs.
Briggs said it depends entii’ely on
the person. Some never have
enough confidence’ or patience to
tackle the molds and scraping with
out constant help.
The Crafts Shop has cash awards
for first, second and third place
in the separate studies of ceramics,
metal and leather each spring.
“This year we hope to enter the
Southwest Ceramic Show in Dallas
if we have enough outstanding ar
ticles,” the instructor said. “No
two molds will ever look exactly
alike. Every person changes the
finishes in one way or another.”
Social Whirl
Newcomer’s Club, a branch of
the A&M Social club, will hold an

It will begin at 3 p.m. to

Membership in the Newcomex-’s

staff who have been here for not
more than three years.

help the wives to better understand
their husbands’ major,” said Estil-
line Irwin, president.

“And yet, recognizing the above
facts, a program which aims at re
habilitation of offenders and, even
in the case of those who cannot be
permitted to continue at an insti
tution, aims at aiding them in gain
ing insight relative to their prob
lems and to the appropriateness of
the dismissal action is education in
its richest sense. Such a conecpt
of education is in complete harm
ony with the student personnel
point of view — a point of view
which recognizes that the center
of all education attentions is the
individual student and that his wel
fare and proper development ai’e
of paramount concern. It does not
‘buy’ the concept that ‘the punish
ment must fit the crime.’ Rather
it states that discipline is an edu
cational process—that effective dis
cipline aims at rehabilitation of an
offender.”
