Page 6 THE BATTALION Friday, November 18, 1955 THE GRAVEYARD—We realize that a newspaper print of Mrs. Emilita Terry’s painting, “The Graveyard,” does not do it justice; but students can get a good view of it when the Feldman art exhibit opens at the MSC Wednesday. Mrs. Terry has another painting in the collection, “The Age of Innocence.” Both are mixed media paintings. An archi tectural student, Chartier Newton, has a water color, “Stoked Up,” in the exhibit. Opens Wednesday At MSC Art Exhibit Entirely Texan The D. D. Feldman Collection of Contemporary Texas Art, which will be shown at the Memorial Stu dent Center from Nov. 23 to Dec. 8, had its inception more than a year ago when D. D. Feldman, a native Texan and internationally known oil operator, decided that a move should be made to encourage Texas artists. At the same time the peo ple of Texas could get a chance to see what Texans are doing in the field of art. Feldman commissioned Tom Dou glas, prominent Hollywood design er and a patron of art, to tour Texas and buy 100 paintings from Texas ai'tists. When the collection was complet ed it was judged at a private show ing in Dallas by three impartial judges—one from Los Angeles, one from Chicago and one from New York. Prizes of $1,500, $750 and $500 were awarded to the top three paintings. Seventy-five of the 100 paintings will be on exhibit in the main and promenade display cases and the main lounge of the Center. A&M is the first college campus in Texas where the paintings have been shown, and it is expected that the exhibit here will be viewed by moi’e people than at any other place on the state-wide tour. This is one of the few times in the history of art that a collection of this magnitude has been brought from a gallery to be exhibited to the general public. Included in the showing will be two paintings by Mrs. Ralph Ter ry, MSC art director, and one by Chartier Newton, fifth year archi tectural student. The owner of the collection, Feld man, will be hei'e Wednesday for the opening of the exhibit, and a reception in his honor will be that afternoon in the Birch and Assem bly Rooms in the MSC. Hosts for the coffee are the MSC Art Group, which sponsors art ex hibits at the Student Center; the Directorate and the Council. Sev eral distinguished persons in the field of art are expected to attend this reception. Novena Being Held For ‘Jitterbug’ In unison with Newman Clubs over the Southwest Conference the A&M Newman Club began a No vena of Mass and prayer for the recovery of Bill (Jitterbug) Hen derson yesterday, announced Tom my Toudouze, president. Henderson, former Aggie ath letic star, is confined to the Vet erans’ Hospital in Houston with multiple sclerosis. He was honor ed at the A&M-Rice football game last week by the Houston A&M Club. The Novena, nine successive days of prayer, devotion and attendance at Mass, is in honor of Blessed Martin de Porres, whose aid and intercession is sought for Hender son, Toudouze said. “Catholic Aggies are especially urged to attend this Novena,” said Toudouze, “but all Aggies every where should remember ‘Jitterbug’ in their prayers and pray for his speedy recovery.” ROPED IN BY WASHDAY WOES?

COa&dnop &Ca MENS CLOTHING SINCE \&9* BRYAN — TEXAS At Other Schools Educated Q liar re Is T ake gh light By JIM BOWER Battalion News Editor A new crop of crises have arisen in the ever changing game of stu dent body versus student body in some of the Southwest Conference schools. » Our Frog friends are now strug gling in the throes of juvenilism. Theme for the new problem is “Frogland for the Frogs.” It seems that the local high school pupils have invaded the Frog Student Center and the Frogs don’t like it. Yet in a poll taken by their school paper, 66 per cent of the paying members of Frogland favor having a Kid Day (strictly for just us frogs though). Evidently, the Frogs should make it clear just when they are having Kid Day since the Fort Worth high school set has a hard time distin guishing Kid Days from ordinary days at TCU. Keeping up with their bovine brethren at Austin, TCU jumped on the band wagon and now has 1,500 “cheering aids.” A generous tobacco company is attributed with donating the metal and cardboard pseudo symbols of school spirit. Texas A new type reward for good grades has been developed at the co-educa'>>ional conservatory near Austin. As a congratulatory gesture to ward one of their classmates who made 100 on a trigonometry quiz, seven students abducted the unpop ular genius, tied a sack over his head and dumped him out, 18 miles in the country. The victim said he thbught the gang was out for revenge because his 100 ruined the curve for the class. He said the next highest grade was 45. Disciplinary action toward the group was supposed to have been taken by the University Discipli nary Committee. Elsewhere on the Forty Acres, there have been numerous signs reading: “We did it to Rice, let’s do it twice.” Last week, they had been altered to read: “We did it to Rice, let’s do it to Price.” Maybe Coach Price is afraid of the action taken against those who make good at TU. And too, if the red candles failed against TCU, how could a mere mortal be ex pected to do any better?

It is page one in the book of good manners. It is also one of the first lessons in a person’s religious education. And here it is something more than mere good man ners. In every age man’s spiritual insight can be measured by his readiness to recognize God as the source of strength and bless ings, and by his eagerness to express his gratitude to the Almighty. No one has ever doubted the religious sincerity of our Pilgrim fathers: they gave us Thanks giving Day. Today, in a world hungry for spirit ual leadership, how much depends on our faith in Gcd . . . and our ability to turn to Him in gratitude and prayer! THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship, ft is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Day Book Chapter Verses Sunday X Chronicles 16 23-34 Monday. ... Psalms 107 1-9 Tuesday ...Psalms 145 1-16 Wednesd’y John 6 5-14 Thursday..
