Our Purl of the Game
Foremost in the heart and mind of every Aggie is a
deep desire to watch the University of Texas go down in
utter defeat tomorrow afternoon in Memorial Stadium.
Truly this will be a fitting climax to end the football
season and especially these last ten days of hard preparation
for this game.
Our motives certainly are strong enough. There is the
so-called Memorial Stadium Jinx to be broken and on top of
that, the longest and most relentless rivalry in the Southwest
Conference will meet head-on.
But at least while in Austin, Aggies will do well to re
member the famous inscription at the base of “Sully” which
begins with “Soldier, Statesman and Knightly Gentleman ..”
What could be more fitting than to remember the in
scription on “Sully” that hag so many times been smeared
with orange paint and to use it as our guiding thought while
in Austin?
Nothing else could serve better as a reminder to all of
us that although we want to win this game above all others,
we have a responsibility to our school, its traditions and ev
erything else connected with A&M that we hold to be sacred.
Granted that the derogatory remarks usually heard at
this game are hard to take and would stir the anger of any
one possessing school loyalty.
But believe it or not, with every remark and temptation
to fight that is shrugged off, comes a feeling of self satis
faction that far outweighs the monetary anger caused by
some petty remark.
i
A&M so far has had a most successful year. Poor judg
ment, hasty action and no though to the future tomorrow
afternoon could spoil it all.
The team will do its part on the field. It’s up to us to
match their efforts in the stands.

English Conservatives
Rap US Eastern Policy
LONDON, (A 5 ) — An influential
section of the Conservative party in
Parliament yesterday attacked U.
S. Middle East policy as “gravely
endangering the Atlantic Alliance.”
More than 100 Conservatives,
about one-third of the party’s
strength in the House of Com
mons, signed a motion criticizing
both the U. N. and the U. S. at
titude toward the Suez Canal
crisis.
There was an impression, how
ever, that Conservative party
whips (floor disciplinarians) dis
approved of the motion as un
necessarily critical of the United
States.
Yet leaders raised no objection
to placing it before the Plouse for
formal consideration later.
The motion praised Foreign Sec-

Man with Problem;
Blonde Chases Him
NEW YORK, (2P)—What’s a man
to do when a goodlooking blonde
chases after him, pounds on his
door, and even appears in the
middle of the night beside his bed?
Henry N. Rowley knew what to
do. He called a cop.
And the blonde, Aelene Wabur,
28, who lives across the street
from Rowley, appeared in Magis
trate’s Court today on a disorderly
conduct charge, fetchingly dressed
in a black velvet toreador outfit.
“She has a fixation on me,”
Rowley testified. “One night, she

nearly gave me' a heart attack.
That night I was sleeping in my
bed, and I woke up and there she
stood before me.”
Said Magistrate John E. Prend-
ergast, “Why don’t you leave him
alone?” He asked her how she
pleaded to the disorderly charge.
“Well,” said the blonde, “I
plead partly guilty.”
“It’s all or nothing at all,” the
Magistrate said.
When she couldn’t make up her
mind, Prendergast adjourned the
case to Jan. 15 and placed her on
parole.
Col. H. P. Dittman
At Conference
Col. H. P. Dittman, is scheduled
to attend a conference for profes
sors of Air Science today through
Friday at Maxwell Air Force Base,
Georgia.
Participating in the conference
will be professors of Air Science
from 186 civilian colleges and uni
versities having Air Force ROTC
training.
The primary purposes of the con
ference are to discuss the prob
lems and future of the Air Force
ROTC and to let the professors
know how AFROTC graduates fit
in the Regular Air Force.
As we all know, conversation is terribly important
on a date. When lulls in the conversation run longer than
an hour or two, one’s partner is inclined to grow logy —
even sullen. What, then, does one do?
If one is wise, one follows the brilliant example of
Harlow Thurlow.
Harlow Thurlow prepares. That is his simple secret.
Before the date, he goes to the library and reads all 24
volumes of the encyclopedia and transcribes their con
tents on his cuffs. Thus he makes sure that no matter
what his date’s interests are, he will have ample material
to keep the conversation alive.
Take, for example, Harlow’s first date with Priscilla
de Gasser, a fine, strapping, blue-eyed broth of a girl,
lavishly constructed and rosy as the dawn.
Harlow was, as always, prepared when he called for
Priscilla, and, as always, he did not start to converse im
mediately. First he took her to dinner because, as every
one knows, it- is useless to try to make conversation with
an unfed coed.
So he took her to a fine steak house where he stoked
her with gobbets of Black Angus and mounds of French
fries and thickets of escarole and battalions of petits
fours. Then, at last, dinner was over and the waiter
brought two finger bowls.
“I hope you enjoyed your dinner, my dear,” said
Harlow, dipping into his finger bowl.
“Oh, it was grandy-dandy!” said Priscilla. “Now let’s
go someplace for ribs.”
“Later, perhaps,” said Harlow. “But right now, I
thought we might have a conversation.”
“Oh, goody, goody, two-shoes!” cried Priscilla. “I
been looking everywhere for a boy who can carry on an
intelligent conversation.y
“Your search is ended, madam,” said Harlow and
pulled back his sleeves and looked at his cuffs to pick a
likely topic to start the conversation.
I IbeMht Me m&M have 3 (bWerMtiO/?
Oh, woe! Oh, lackaday! Those cuffs on which Harlow
had painstakingly transcribed such diverse and fasci
nating information — those cuffs were nothing now but
a big, blue blur! For Harlow —poor Harlow! — splashing
around in the finger bowl had gotten his cuffs wet and
the ink had run and not one word was legible! And
Harlow broke out in a night-sweat and fell dumb.
“I must say,” said Priscilla after several silent hours, (
“that you are a very dull fellow. I’m leaving.”
With that she flounced away and poor Harlow was
too crushed to protest. Sadly he sat and sadly lit a
cigarette.
All of a sudden Priscilla came rushing back. “Was
that,” she asked, “a Philip Morris you just lit?”
“Yes,” said Harlow.
“Then you are not a dull fellow!” she cried and sprang'
into his lap. “You are bright! Anybody is bright to smoke
such a perfect doll of a cigarette as today’s rich, tasty
Philip Morris, which is brimming-full of natural tobacco
goodness and fresh unfiltered flavor.... Harlow, tiger,
wash your cuffs and be my love!”
“Okay,” said Harlow, and did, and was.
