Top Ten Performance?
The staunch few remaining- in the stands at the close o
Saturday’s game with TCU saw a display of sportsmanshi]
seldom seen among teams in the top ten of the nation.
TCU’s Chuck Curtis, powerful quarterback, gave the el
bow to at least two freshmen who were trying to carry hirr
off the field after the game. Not one of the TCU players al
lowed freshmen to carry him off but Curtis was more em
phatic.
Naturally defeat was tasting pretty bitter to Curtis
But quarterbacks, leaders of teams, are expected to show
more character and exemplary conduct.
Last year TCU was permanently awarded the Southwest
Conference Sportsmanship trophy for having won the award
three years in a row.

Along this same line, a letter was received by the Col
lege recently containing some pictures showing Texas A&M
painted on some building at Rice Institute.
Last spring, several spots on this campus were marked
with the word RICE in big black letters.
Neither school knows who is responsible and certainly
whether the painting was done by students from the two
schools.
What they do know is the incidents certainly don’t fur
ther relations between them or enhance their own reputation
among the people not even connected with either campus.
If we are to continue our efforts in uplifting our repu
tation, we cannot participate in or condone any action of
this kind. ,

I would like to make a few re
uttals concerning Robert C
'hnsley’s letter to the editor of the
lattalion.
According to Tinsley, a non-rep-
hat is physically qualified to be in
he Corps of Cadets and has not
ei-ved time in the Armed Ser-
ices is a “scroungy” person.
I wonder if Tinsley has consider
'd all of the reasons that keep;
lon-regs out of the Corps ?
Certainly I have not. But I do
believe that I have considered
ew that he seemingly ignored.
Many non-regs are transfer stu-
lents. Some are married. A few are
graduate students here for the first
ime. Others include juniors and
seniors who failed to get contracts.
And still others, Corps life doesn’t
agree with.
Would Tinsley propose that all
junior transfer students join the
Corps of Cadets as freshmen, as
well as graduate students ? Does
he wish that all married students,
regardless of their financial con
dition and hours of work, join the
Corps ?
What about the non-regs whose
personality, maturity, or attitude
would cause them to make poor
Corps members ? Should they be
forced into something that violent
ly disagrees with them, consequent
ly lowering the morale and ef
fectiveness of the Corps?
Or should they be allowed to at
tend the school of their choice, so
long as they are tabbed “scroungy”
and considered on a lower, unequal
plane? If Tinsley fails to get a
contract after completing this
yeai - , I wonder if he would consider
himself a “scroungy” non-reg.
Saying, or implying, that every
one should belong to the Corps
in my opinion, is similar to saying
that everyone should have the same
major. In either case there is no
flexibility to fit the individual.
What is good for Charlie may be
poison for Jack.
In addition Tinsley stated that
with the exception of veterans and
the handicapped, “the Corps holds
the same feeling as a certain high
ranking Air Force instructor” and
that “the true non-reg can never
be in the same class as a cadet.”
As to the first statement, I
seriously doubt that Tinsley is any

Famous Oil Geologist
Speaks Mere Tonight
Dr. James B. Eby, famous oil
production geologist, will discuss
his recent trip to Russia tonight at
7:30 in the lecture room of Geology
Building.
He will compare the geologic
training of Soviet Scientists to that
given in the United States. Eby re
turned recently from an extensive
visit of the Soviet Union’s oil fields
and installations. In 1946, he in
vestigated the status of our oil re
lations with the Russians in
Austria.
After graduating from John :
Hopkins University in 1918 with a j
Bachelor of Arts degree, Eby work- j
ed as a geologist with the U. S.
Geological Survey. During this'time
he continued studying at John
Hopkins and was awarded his
Doctor of Philosophy degree in
1922. After six years with Shell
Oil Co. as the supervisor of all
Shell’s geophysical operations in
the Texas Gulfcoast region, Eby
resigned to become an independent
consulting geologist in Houston.
Besides his work as a consulting
geologist, Eby has also had con
siderable experience both in teach
ing and organizing geological
courses for colleges. He organized
the first courses in geology ever
taught at Georgetown University,
Washington, D. C., in 1925,; and
taught there for two years.

more qualified to speak for the
entire Corps than I am to speak
for Milner Hall-which I am not.
Some of my best friends are
Corps members and certainly they
do not hold the feelings that
Tinsley states.
Concerning the second statement,
I wounder how many friends
Tinsley Won by expressing such
feelings ?
Don’t misunderstand me, I be
lieve that the Corps offers to the
average student, some of the most
valuable training that can be got
ten. Had I not been a transfer stu
dent and a diabetic, I would have
certainly joined the Corps and felt
the same pride when the Band
marches at the football games as
I do now. Proud to feel that I be
long to one of the finest schools in
the world.
I am writing this letteT in de
fense, not aggression, to some ex
pressed opinions that 1 feel can
only be described as biased, er
roneous and antagonistic.

Mr. Stevenson who, once changed,
might change again? Why take a
chance on peace and high employ
