Reveille Discussed
Senate Has Busy Night
By JIM NEIGHBORS
In a flurry of activity last night,
the Student Senate censored
Reveille, vetoed the playing of
Corps vs. Civilians in the 12th Man
Bowl, approved recognition of
James Sarran and dedicated the
“T” to the Southwest Conference
champions.
After a long discussion by the
senators, and a report by Cy
Holley, the senate passed a motion
to go on record as saying that
the Corps was degrading itself by
the “wildcatting” while Reveille
is on the field during half-time.
Also included in the motion was the
suggestion that Reveille’s care
takers attempt to better train her
and that a committee be appoint
ed to study the problem at a later
date.
Under new business, Bryan
Dedeker gave a report on recogniz
ing the heroism of James Sarran by
having his picture hung in the
A&M Chapel with an appropriate
placque commemorating him. The
report was put into the form of a
motion and passed by the senate.
Following an announcement by
one of the senators of the death
of James Sarran’s fathelr, the
senate voted to send flowers to the
funeral services with a card ex
pressing the grief of the senate.
Committee reports and discus
sion took up the rest of the meet
ing, which was held in the Me
morial Student Center Senate
Chamber. The Hospital Committee
report gave some of the results of
a study made by the committee
concerning a compulsory accident
insurance policy for students.
According to the report, a $1,000
policy for blanket coverage would
cost each student about $3. The
senate passed a motion to have the
committee check further into the
subject.
Allocation of funds was the
main topic of the Exchange Store
Committee’s report. Chairman Bill
McCarty gave a rundown of the
way the Advisory Board recom
mended the Exchange Store profits
be distributed. The dispersal was
as follows: Student Activities Club
Aid Fund, $4,688.63; Band fund,
$864.58; Aggie Players, $700; Ross
Volunteers and Fish Drill Team,
$1,000 and $4,500 for the Student
Activities Advisory Committee for
Student Welfare and recreational
facilities. $16,000 was left for the
store to use as working capital.
The report was then sent to the
Executive Council for approval.

BULLETIN
Fire coming from a wall heater
in the fourth grade classroom in
Consolidated elementary school
this morning resulted in very little
damage according to Fire Chief
Cled Warren.
Warren said that although the
children knew there was a fire,
they filed out of the building just
as if it were a routine fire drill.
He said the children were very well
behaved as they came out of the
building and kept out of the way of
the firemen. There also was no
panic at all, he said.

Aggies Battle Rice
On Kyle Field at 2
By BARRY HART
A&M goes for at least a tie for the 1956 Southwest Con
ference crown tomorrow meeting the Rice Owls at 2 p.m. on
Kyle Field.
Barred from being host team in the Cotton Bowl even
though they are headed toward their first SWC title since
1941, Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant’s Aggies are heavy favor
ites to win their 22nd game against the Owls. A&M holds a
21-16-3 edge over the Houston team, with Rice winning 10
straight from 1945 to 1954.
In 1955 the Cadets turned in one of the most fantastic
finishes in collegiate history, scoring 20 points in two min
utes and 46 seconds to overcome a 12-0 Owl lead and win,
^20-12. A near sellout crowd
of 40,000 or more is expected
for the battle between the na
tion’s fifth-ranked eleven and
the number six team in the
league.
Rice brings two of the finest
quarterbacks into Aggieland in
Frank Ryan and King Hill. Ryan
has completed 35 passes of 64 at
tempts for 438 yards and four
touchdowns while Hill has hit on
31 of 54 for 400 yards and three
Jaycees Begin
Paper Drive
For Diabetics
Bryan Jaycees are sponsor
ing a continuous paper drive
in Bryan and College Station
to benefit diabetic children at
Camp Sweeny near Gaines
ville, according to Charles Collette,
chairman of the drive.
The drive has been started in
connection with National Diabetic
Week, Nov. 11-19 but will be con
tinued indefinitely.
Four large locations for paper
deposit have been named, Collette
said. They are Safeway, Wein-
garten’s and Orr’s in Bryan and
South College Food Market in Col
lege Station.
Paper collected will be sold to
Capital Paper Co. in Bryan. They
will give the Jaycees a check for
it and the check will be endorsed
and sent to Camp Sweeny.
The purpose of Camp Sweeny
is to help diabetic children between
the ages of six and 18 regardless
of their financial or social situa
tion.
Three sessions of the camp are
held there in each of the four
week periods during the summer
months. Dormitories are provided
for boys and girls and dieticians
plan meals for the children.
The Owls are 4-3 on the season
and 1-2 in SWC play. Jess Neely’s
gang own victories over Alabama,
LSU, Texas and Utah while losing
to Florida, SMU and Arkansas.
The Aggies are undefeated with
only a 14-14 tie to Houston marring
their record. A&M has swept
past Villanova, LSU, Texas Tech,
TCU, Baylor, Arkansas and SMU.
The Cadets counter the Owl
throwing game with the nation’s
third toughest defense, having
allowed only 196 yards per game,
and one of collegiate football’s
finest ground games. Three Aggie
backs have gained more than 400
yards rushing. Roddy Osborne,
with 478, Jack Pardee, with 407,
and John Crow, with 400, along
with little Loyd Taylor, who has
carried for 267 yards himself, make
up the most powerful backfield in
the conference, if not the nation.
Osborne will probably not play
much Saturday due to an injured
neck with Bobby Conrad taking
over the number one man-under
