athletics at TCU, also sent a letter
to Col. Davis commending the
Corps and their actions.
“Due to the leadership of cadet
officers and the cooperation of all
cadets, the conduct of the Corps
was excellent and I consider it the
most successful I have ever exper
ienced dui'ing my tenure at A&M,”
Col. Davis said.
Cadets took complete control at
night spots in Fort Worth Satur
day night, according to Lit. Col.
Taylor Wilkins, assistant com
mandant. Students went to the
manager and told them if they had
any trouble with A&M students to
let them know and the matter
would be taken care of immediate
ly-
Col. Wilkins said he had several
cadets call him and tell him where
they were and where they were
spending the night so he could
reach them if trouble did occur.
He said this was the first time any
such thing had been done.
So, at this time. The Battalion
would like to express its apprecia
tion and congratulations to the
Cadet Corps and all A&M stu
dents upon the conduct exhibited
in Fort Worth during the past
weekend. We hope it will be the
^ame in Houston Nov. 12.
Foreign Ministers Meet
Oct. 27 On East-West
DENVER, (IP)—Secretary of State Dulles said yester
day that President Eisenhower shares with him a “measured
hope” for concrete progress at the Big Four foreign minis
ters conference in Geneva on issues dividing East and West.
Dulles got Eisenhower’s final “counsel and advice” on
the conference opening Oct. 27 in a 25-minute meeting with
the chief executive at Fitzsimons Army Hospital.
Then, at a news conference at the Denver White House,
the secretary said that while he doesn’t expect “spectacular
results,” he does think that he and the British, French and
Soviet foreign ministers will make “concrete progress toward
unification of Germany within a framework of European
^security.”
He said he also looks for
definite progress on increased
contacts between East and
West and on clearing away
some of the misunderstandings
that seem to have arisen over the
disarmament issue.
In touching thus on all four
points of the Geneva agenda, Dulles
shied away from using the word
“optimism.”
“But any results at all,” he said,
would mai'k an advance on most,
if not all, of our prior conferences
with the Soviet Union.”
Dulles leaves for Europe Friday,
after briefing congressional lead
ers of both parties on the Geneva
parley in Washington tomorrow.
It was the second Eisenhower-
Dulles meeting since the Presi
dent’s Sept. 24 heart attack. The
first was a week ago yesterday.
With the doctors continuing to
report that Eisenhower is making
satisfactory headway without com
plications, Dulles said that he
found “very distinct evidence of
more vigor — more vigorous
health.” He said the President’s
mind was as vigorous as it could
be at their last meeting and “this
time there was more evidence of
physical robustness.”
Every day, the physicians are
letting the chief executive sit up a
bit more in a chair. He gets in a
daily sun bath on a hospital ter
race. And by the end of this week
or early next the doctors hope to
have him taking his fii'st steps.

By JIM NEIGHBORS
Battalion Staff Writer
Once upon a time, there were
three bears—a Mama Bear, a Papa
Bear and a Little Baylor—oops, the
Baylor Bear is missing.
That’s what the Waco Chamber
of Commerce is yelling—someone
stole the Baylor cub. And, if it’s
not returned soon, the C of C is
going to be in hot water because
they are responsible for the thing.
Now it just so happens that Bat
talion Photographer James Schu
bert snapped a picture of a mama
bear and her little cub somewhere
—he wouldn’t tell us where though.
Things were beginning to look
mighty suspicious around here,
with a picture of a bear cub and
its mama, but B. A. (Scotty) Par
ham, Student Senate president,
says there “isn’t any bear here
and, furthermore, A&M doesn’t
want the thing on its hands.”
It seems that everyone is get
ting into the picture one way or
another. Bennie Zinn, head of
Student Affairs, said he talked to
a Baylor official, but that he didn’t
Don 7 Forget: 5 P.M. Today
Is Deadline for 2nd Installment
Ticket Sales Up;
Highest Since ’51
Ticket sales are enjoying their
bigest season since 1951 said Pat
Dial, athletic department business
manager.
The Baylor game is not. a sell
out as yet, but so far, about 37,000
tickets have been sold, he said.
In reply to how many tickets
are left for the remaining five
games, Dial said that the SMU
game is, by far the one that has
the most tickets left for sale. There
are around 10,000 tickets left for
that game but almost all of them
are located in the end zones.
Only 250 tickets for the Arkan
sas game at Fayetteville were
available this year and these went
on sale this morning at 8 a. m.

SMALL LINE—The line around the ticket sales booth for
A&M football tickets has begun to decrease as the week
draws to a close. According to Pat Dial, business manager
of the athletic department, ticket sales are enjoying their
biggest season since 1951. There have been about 37,000
tickets sold for the Baylor game Saturday.

shoe remain on sale.
have any additional information
about the missing cub.
Lt. Col. Taylor Wilkins, assist
ant commandant, said he hoped the
thing was brought to light befoi’e
the football game Saturday. Of
course, this does not mean that it
is being kept down in A&M’s steam
tunnels.

Economics Club
Hears Mudie Talk
The Economics Club held its
first dinner seminar at the Memor
ial Student Center Tuesday night,
featuring an after-dinner talk by
John H. Mudie on “The Problem
of Satisfying Latin American De
mands for Economic Considera
tion.” Mudie came to A&M from
the University of Texas last Feb
ruary and is now completing work
for a Ph. D.
The next meeting of the club will
be held Nov. 1.
Kiwanians To Sell
Lunches At Game
The College Station Kiwanis
Club will sponsor the sale of box
lunches for home football games
again this year, according to Bob
Cherry, president of the Club.
For the Baylor game this week
end, 16 Kiwanians will be sta
tioned at the entrances to the
campus from 10:45 a.m. until game
time at 2 p.m. to sell lunches.
The box lunch, which costs one
dollar, will contain fried chicken,
bread and butter, pickles, olives,
potato chips, cookies and an apple.
Proceeds from the sale will go
to the Crippled Childi’en’s Fund,
and other Kiwanis Club charities.
The way all of this got started
was at a pep rally held at Baylor
Tuesday night. It seems that
someone saw “four men” who were
not Baylor students there at about
the time the fuzzy little rascal dis
appeared. How Baylorites knew
these four men were not Baylor
students still remains a mystery.
Last year, the Baylor cub was
stolen—by Baylor students — just
before the A&M-Baylor game in
Waco. Now, this year, the same
thing happened and it could have
been done by the same bunch of
villains that did it last year.
Some four carloads of BU stu
dents were caught “sneaking” on
the campus early yesterday morn
ing. Bryan police stopped three
cars on the outskirts of town and
told them to turn around and head
back to Waco. Campus Security
officers caught the other car as it
was leaving A&M.
Altogether, there were 23 of the
mean little rascals in on the plot
to do something or other to the
A&M campus. Maybe it was re
taliation for the alleged crime of
stealing “Pancho,” their little Bay
lor “Bar.” Maybe Davy got him.
To go back to the Baylor “boys”
being down here, about 5 a.m. yes
terday moiming, three one-quart
cans were found on Kyle Field.
They had contained gasoline but
no visible damage has been as yet
found on the field, according to
William Fitts, Kyle Field grounds
keeper.
It seems that the way everyone
found out about the cub being gone
was through an anonymous tele
phone call to the Waco News-Trib
une. The Tribune received a call
from a “suspicious sounding voice”
which claimed Baylor officials and
students didn’t even know the bear
was missing.
In closing, does anyone know
how to keep a claw scratch from
becoming infected ?
