The goal represents a $2,607 de crease from last year’s goal of $14,707. Last year donations to taled $11,860. * The drive will begin Oct. 31 and continue until Nov. 12, accoi-ding to Robert A.

He stressed that this money will not leave the com munity, but will be spent on all phases of the scouting program in Brazos and Robertson Counties. The committee set aside $2,000 for the Boy Scouts. Mrs. Lloyd Keel, representative of the Bryan-College Station Girl Scout Council, submitted the Girl Scout’s request for $1,700.

Ivy, representative of the College Station Recreation Council, presented the Council’s re quest for $1,350 to continue the summer recreation program. The amount was alloted as asked. The YMCA general secretary, Gordon Gay, requested $400, to be used mainly for improvement of Cashion Cabin, meeting house in Hensel Park owned by the YMCA. The sum was granted. Bob Cherry, chairman of the College Station Youth Committee, received $200 to pay the last debts incurred in lighting the softball field at Lincoln School, and to pur chase supplies for the future. The Community Center, Inc., through its representative, the Rev. Robert L. Darwall, asked for $839 to improve its facilities at the day nursery and kindergarten for colored children. W. A. Tarrow, principal of Lin coln Schools, reported that due to the facilities at the day nursei'y, enrollment is up in the schools. “Prior to this, some students were staying at home to care for younger brothers and sisters,” he said. After careful consideration, the committee gave Community Center, Inc., $1,000. Vic Ehlers, county youth coun selor, presented the budget request of the Brazos County Youth Devel opment Committee for its services of counseling and correcting the youth of Brazos County. The committee granted $300 of the proposed $600 with the sugges tion that Ehlers submit a request to the City of College Station in July for the remainder of the re quired sum.

Well, Davy didn’t get him nor did Aggies. Pancho, the Baylor bear cub mascot, has returned to the den. He was found late Wednes day night tied to a pole half way between Waco and the municipal airport on the north east side of town. Unharmed, except for a painted “A&M” on his side, Pancho is reported happy to be back. Baylor officials said that there was “no indication” that the cub was stolen by an A&M student or students. And to the exonerating report was added a statement by the Bay lor dean of men that “A&M students have shown more im provement in sportsmanship in the last 10 years than any other school in the conference. World News i By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Ei senhower told Russia during last July’s summit conference that “un der no ch’cumstances is the United States ever going to be a party to aggressive war — against any nation.” A - A - "A AUSTIN—The Court of Crim inal Appeals was asked to take a new look at its Oct. 5 decision which had the effect of knocking out 104 indictments against Du val County officials and others. ★ ★ ★ NEW YORK —Adlai Stevenson made it virtually clear yesterday »he will be a candidate for the Dem ocratic presidential nomination. “I’m not counting on the New York delegation at all,” he told # newsmen. They took this as a plain indication he would be in the race. A&M Freshman Kidnaped; Returns Neill Perry, freshman pre-den tistry major from Austin, was “kidnaped” yesterday and carried to Baylor to be put on exhibition before the Baylor student body at a pep rally scheduled for 10 this morning. The Dean of Men at Baylor said, through a telephone call last night, that he had told the students to get the freshman back to A&M before the sun came up this morn ing. And, Perry was here when the sun came over the Academic Building. Here’s the way things went yes terday evening. When Perry re turned from classes, he found one of his home town “buddys” from Baylor waiting for him in his room. The “buddy” asked him to go for a cup of coffee at the East Gate, but upon arrival there, it was assumed more boys were wait ing and they sped away to Waco, with Perry in their car. Perry, a member of Squadron 21, got to a telephone and called his first sergeant telling him that he was alright but the Baylor stu dents had taken his -clothes. Lt. Col. Taylor Wilkins, assist ant commandant, called the Baylor Dean of Men to inform him of the incident and try to get the student back here. The dean said he would handle the Baylor students, who were to be in his office at 8 this morning. HH PIPELINE—The new College Station sewer line has crossed the city limits and is ex pected to be completed in about 150 more days.

Horace Bass of the His tory Department, will deliver the principal address at the tenth birthday celebration of the Unit ed Nations Club, to be held in the YMCA chapel tonight at 7:30. Weather Today ing future midnight yell practices.” Paul Holliday, head yell leader, brought out that many persons were hurt last year when hit by a roll of the Aggie confetti. He said there were always a lot of people at that ceremony and that it didn’t make the students look too mature. The Senate also approved the Kyle Field Seating plan for the Baylor game. The new plan gives civilian students 500 seats more and also adds some seats to the junior section. Each section will be roped off and 40 ushers will be present at the areas to help stu dents find their proper places. “Students who do not adhere to the proper seating arrangement will be handled accordingly,” said Gus Mijalis, chairman of the Seat ing Committee. CLEAR Scattered clouds this morning were expected to clear this after noon. Temperature at 10:45 a.m. was 78 degrees.

Ags Meet Bruins Tomorrow at 2 By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor Firming down Baylor’s flexible offense poses the big problem for A&M tomorrow afternoon in seeking its first win over the ill-tempered Bears since 1947. “TCU stuck to a routine. Not so with Baylor,” says Lorin McMullen, of the Ft. Worth Star Telegram, “The Bears will mix ’em up, inside, outside, short and deep. If one quar terback doesn’t display sufficient chance-taking, they’ll put in another.” Fans who counted on watching the 2 p.m. contest on television are in for a disappointment. More than 6,000 tickets are still available, and under NCAA rules, any game not a sellout can’t be televised locally. *■ The Aggies will be out weighed 10-pounds per man, not an unusual situation this season, by the burly Bruin Rodeo’s Second Performance Goes Tonight Cowboys from universities and colleges all over the state donned their western attire yesterday and came to Col lege Station for A&M’s spill- packed All-Aggie Rodeo. Approximately 75 contestants were entered in the three-show ro deo. The second and third shows will start promptly at 8 p.m. today and tomorrow. Two new events have been ad ded to this years show, “Profes sors’ competition,” and an “intra mural pig scramble.” Representa tives from each group competing in campus intramurals try for points to add to their year’s total by chasing, catching and toting back to the finish line a half-grown shoat. Other events include bareback bronc riding, wild bull riding, steer wrestling, ribbon and tie-down rop ing and a girl’s barrel race. Tro phy buckles will be awarded to winners of each event. Profits are used by the Saddle and Sirloin Club, sponsors of the rodeo, to help send student judg ing teams to national shows all ov er the Midwest, said Ken Killion, president of the club linemen. Baylor’s stout de fense held previously unbeaten Washington to a minus 5 yards rushing for more than two-thirds of last Saturday’s game at Seattle. “They’re stronger and faster than TCU,” observed Coach Pat James, who scouted the Bears twice this year, “and, I wouldn’t say they were dirty—but they’re about the meanest, roughest, hard est tackling bunch I’ve ever seen play this season.” THE BRUINS and Aggies have identical 4-1 season marks, and both are currently knotted in a three-way tie with SMU for first place in the young SWC race. Bay lor won its loop opener against Arkansas, 25-20, while the Aggies hold a 19-16 decision over TCU. Coach George Sauer plans to save Doyle Traylor, his sophomore passing expert, for the TCU game next week. Traylor will be the only player missing fi*om Baylor’s first three teams, and as a result the Bears will be in their best physical condition of the year. “We’re ready to play a good ball game,” says Sauer. JOHN CROW, brilliant both on offense and defense this season, is definitely sidelined for Saturday’s (See FOOTBALL, Page 3) UMUMi J Students Meet For Intern Dinner Three journalism students left today for the annual intern dinner sponsored by the Fort Worth chap ter of Sigma Delta Chi, profes sional journalism fraternity. Bill Thomas, Phil McNemer and Jim Bower will meet with interns from all over the state for the pro gram and dinner to be held in the Worth Hotel at 8 p.m. tonight in Fort Worth. After dinner, each of the interns will give a short talk on some of his experiences this summer while serving as a “cub reporter.” Each intern spent at least 10 weeks this summer working on a newspaper. D. D. Burchard, head of the Journalism Department, is accom panying the boys. STILL THE WINNER—Squadron 24 and A Athletics seem to be capturing - the lime light in the sign contest for this year. This is the third time they have been awarded first place and the second time in a row. Someone in one of those two outfits must be an artist. MSC Film Society “The Man in the Attic,” staring Jack Balance, Constance Smith and Byron Palmer will be shown by the MSC Film Society in the Cen ter at 2 p.m. Sunday. Admission is 25 cents per person or by sea son ticket.
