Senate Recommends
Dismiss School Painters
The Student Senate last night
: passed a resolution which recom
mends that any student caught
painting or defacing the campus
of any other school be indefinitely
suspended from A&M.
An amendment to the motion
lidded that this penalty be extend
ed to include not only actual dam
age to a school’s campus but also
any action which might be con
trary to peaceful relationship with
the other schools.
In other actions, the Senate
gave the Civilian Student Council
the responsibility of settling the
^seating problems that have arisen
in the civilian section of Kyle
Field.
The Senate added to the motion
that the solution should carry over
to next year since any action tak
en will only apply to the A&M-TU
game this yeaV.
Dave Parnell said the main com
plaint was that some of the civilian
students found sections closed to
them even though they had seats
saved.
Parnell said students should not
depend on seats being saved, for
as soon as the section looks full,
it is closed to prevent confusion
and over-crowding.
He explained that this ruling
Clean Up Drive

The College Station Clean-Up
Drive, sponsored jointly by the
College Station Chamber of Com

trucks make a final pick-up and
clean-up tour of all sections of the
city.
“No health hazards were report
ed, and we are, on the whole, very
pleased with the drive,” said Ran
Boswell, College Station City Man
ager.
Trucks will pick up all kinds of
trash today, as long as it is piled
in front of residences. Citizens are
urged to take this opportunity to
clean up the city for the holiday

Weather Today
, WARMER
Clear to paifly cloudy and a
little warmer is the forecast for
today. Yesterday’s high of 63 de-
1 grees dropped to a near-freezing
35 degrees last night. Temperature
at 10:30 a.m. was 57 degrees.
The Bryan-College Station Girl
Scout Area Council will receive
$1,700 of the $12,100 goal of the
1955 Community Chest Drive.
At present there are 47 active
Gh’l Scout troops in the College
Station-Bryan area aiding the rec
reation of appt’oximately 700 girls
and 176 adults. Ten of these are
Brownie troops, and the remainder
are Senior Girl Scouts. Ten troops
are in College Station, with some
300 girls participating.
Funds from the Chest drive will
help pay professional workers,
keep up the Girl Scout Littlehouse,
provide leadership training courses,
and help supply awards and other
materials needed in the program.
Last summer, 212 girls received
camping experience at Bastrop
State Park, Normangee Lake, and
other established camps. The re
mainder attended day camp at Ki-
wanis park or the Girls Scout Lit
tlehouse.
“Money made from the annual
Girl Scout Cookie Sale is kept by
the individual girl to apply toward
her camp expenses,” said Mrs. Loyd
Keel, president of the Bryan-Col
lege Station Area Council. “Funds
for the local administration come
entirely from the Community
Chest, Bi'yan’s United Fund drive,
Calendar sales, gifts and the girls
weekly dues.”

day, with a review of the Activities

was based this way because the
civilian students had voted to have
the seats on a first-come, first-
serve basis instead of reserved
seats.
i
Parnell requested that Corps
sophomores and freshmen have
their dates meet them in their sec
tions instead of near the ramps.
Students meeting their dates near
the ramps and then going to the
sections causes too much confus
ion.
He added that Corps seniors
who come to the game in civilian
clothes will not be allowed to sit
in the Corps sections since there is
no definite way of determining if
they are in the corps or are civil
ians.
As an idea for obtaining more
money for student government use,
Senate President B. A. (Scotty)
Parham brought up the sugges
tion of getting money from the
ever-growing traffic fine fund, in
which there is supposed to be more
than $1,400.
Parham appointed a committee
which is to investigate the possi
bility of obtaining some of the
traffic money.

can of sardines. Texas stu
dents stood guard over the
bear, which was located at a
gargage within five blocks of

Now, the bear has been re
turned, but Bevo VI is miss

A cantankerous SMU Mustang tries to pitch the Aggies
out of the driver’s seat in the Southwest Conference football
derby tomorrow night at 8 in the 38th meeting between the
two schools.
A&M goes into the Kyle Field clash with a league leading
2-0-1 record, while the ponderous Ponies hold down the third
position with one win and one loss. The Cadets hold a slight
edge in the SMU series, dating back to 1916, with 17 wins and
15 losses. Five contests have ended in a draw.
“We’re in pretty good condition—physically,” said
Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant after yesterday’s practice ses
sion, “Yes, over-all, I guess we’re in about as good condition
as we’ve been all year.”
Three players, starting left
tackle Charles Krueger, end
Bobby Marks and fullback
Roddy Osborne, have been
hampered with injuries this week,
but all are expected to see action
against the Mustangs.
Only probable change in tomor
row night’s starting line-up will be
at quarterback. Jimmy Wright,
who’s seventh among SWC passers,
will start in place of Donnie Grant.
Other backfield starters are half
backs John Crow and Loyd Taylor
and fullback Jack Pardee.
ON PAPER the Aggies and Mus
tangs appear about even, with a
slight edge going to SMU. The
Ponies have averaged 309.8 yards
on offense and given up 211 yards
on defense. A&M has picked up
302.3 yards on the attack and al
lowed opponents 214.
SMU hag a more balanced attack
than the Cadets, having rushed for
208 yards and passed for 101..
A&M’s strong point so far has
been its relentless ground play, and
it ranks second only to TCU with
an average of 255 yards per game.
The massive Mustangs have
thrown up the best barrier against
rushing in the conference, having
given up only 116 yards overland.
A&M is tops in pass defending,
and second in rushing defense.
Penalties have hurt the Aggies this
season, and they’re way out in
fi-ont in that department with 558
yards on rule violations.
“I DON’T know whether we’ve
got a chance or not,” Bryant said
worriedly, “but we believe we
have.”
There are about 10,000 tickets
left for the A&M-SMU game ac
cording to Pat Dial of the Athletic
Office.
There are 4,000 in the south
bleachers and about 6,000 in the
concrete stands. Of these most
are in the north end zone he add
ed.
The game definitely will not be
televised.
John Foster Dulles, British Foreign
Secretary Harold Macmillan, and
French Foreign Minister Antoine
Pinay reproached Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov for his op
position to giving the Germans
free choice of their destiny. Mo
lotov sharply challenged the West’s
ideas on German unification.
