On Segregation
Eleven Bills To Come
Before Texas Lawmakers
AUSTIN, UP)—A band of legislators determined to re
inforce and strengthen Texas’ segregation laws gave ground
but did not give up yesterday.
Rep. Joe Chapman of Sulphur Springs told The Associa
ted Press his group had dropped its demands for early action
on the touchy problem.
Rep. Reagan R. Huffman of Marshall said however that
he would go ahead with plans to introduce 11 segregation
bills as soon as Speaker Waggoner Carr opens the door for
bill offering within two or three days.
Huffman said the details of the bills would not be an
nounced until they were introduced.
“We’ve got the votes to

Judges Show
E. M. Regenbrecht of the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service is in Trujilla, capital
city of the Dominican Repub
lic, where he is serving as

Livestock Show.
Regenbrecht was invited to the
show by Dominican Republic’s Sec
retary of Agriculture. The show
will feature exhibits from many
countries including the US. Offi
cials of the show recommended the
long time extension specialist be
cause of his wide and varied exper
iences in judging both breeding
and fat swine.
He has for many years directed
one of the nation’s outstanding 4-H
swine programs which is sponsored
by the Sears and Roebuck Founda

Extension Service.
and we are in no hurry to
bring it up,” Chapman said,
when asked about reports
that Chapman and several others
had discarded plans for a “Texas
manifesto” pledging support of
segregation legislation.
One West Texas legislator said
he had heard that only a few East
Texas legislators had signed the
segregation pledge.
Chapman said he could not say
definitely how many had signed
the manifesto “but I’d guess about
50 per cent or more.” He esti-
mated segregation legislation
would get about 100 votes in the
House and would “unquestionably
get a majority” in the Senate.
He said he had talked with Carr
yesterday and with “a bunch of
the East Texas boys” last night

Suitor Held
At Gunpoint;
Still Says No
CHICAGO, CP)—A brunette
stenographer accused of pull
ing a gun on a suitor to em
phasize her demand for mar
riage told police yesterday:
“It’s a good thing I’m not a
redhead, or I’d have shot him.”
Miss Daisy Solaya, 25, was
held without charge for
questioning. Police said she
admitted holding her boy
friend, Anthony Barbaric, 30,
and several of his family at
bay while trying to extract
Anthony’s promise of mar

Frank.

had dated for three years and
that Anthony had promised
marriage but reneged five
weeks ago. Miss Solaya had
him arrested on an assault and
battery charge Dec. 17. The

“Texas A&M, 2000 A.D.”, is the
theme of fourth year Architecture
students in presenting their ideas
on what they think the campus of
the future should look like.
Under the leadership of Charles
R. Colbert, and William G. Wag
ner, of A&M’s Architecture De
partment, 24 students are re-de-
signing the A&M campus in the
modern idiom of architecture.
“This project will aid students
when they become practicing arch
itects,” Colbert said.
“More than likely they will be
called upon in the next ten years
to design collegiate buildings due
to growth of universities and rapid
influx of students,” he said.
Along with each detailed draw
ing, the students build a small
model to illustrate theii’ idea. De
signs range from an all-military
school to an all-civilian school.
“The project will also present
to the public today’s construction
ment here at A&M is interested in
design of collegiate buildings and
campus planning,” he said.
Before approaching the problem,
each student interviewed several
faculty members and students on
the campus to get opinions on what
should be included on the “ideal”
campus.
The ideas from interviews open
ed the doors to many problems,
mostly pertaining to architecture
and campus design.
The general trend seemed to be
an effort to create an environment
where the average student will
want to learn.
One student in his report said,
“The campus is too spi’ead out.
Students have to travel all over
the campus to attend classes.”
“The automobile traffic is too
much of a problem,” reported
another. “Pedestrian and mechan
ical traffic should be separated.”
Using money as a criteria, one
and design problems,” said Wag- 1 student said in his report, “If the

Cell Block 7, Doodlers
Guion Hosts Comedy Act
By YAL POLK
Guion Hall will shake to its very
foundations tomorrow night be
ginning at 7:30 when the Cell
Block 7 and The Doodlers unleash
their jazz, comedy and interpreta
tions of Dixieland music.
Featured at this, the second, ad
ded attraction of the 1956-57 school
year by the Office of Student Ac
tivities, The Cell Block 7 and The
Doodlers is not a Town Hall pro
duction.
Members of the Cell Block 7 had
their origination in Dallas about
three years ago when all but their
leader, Rusty Brown, who doubles
in drums, were attending SMU.
Brown, a former public relations
man and a salesman turned to
“zanier” pastimes met the boys at
a “Big D” jam session and talked
them into joining forces with him
to play on weekends.
As this appealed to the other
members of the band and didn’t
seem to interfere with their school-
work they accepted. Before long
they had made a name for them
selves all over Dallas and when
the chance came for an appearance
at the swank Riviera Hotel in Las
Vegas, well it was too much to
turn down.
Complete with striped pajamas
they took Vekas by storm and went
from the Riviera on a successful
tour of the United States. They
appeared at such entertainment
places as the Pla-Mor Ballroom in

The winter sports banquet will
be held on the evening of January

1956 Southwest Conference foot
ball champions.
Kansas City; Heidelburg Hotel in
Jackson, Miss.; and Shamrock in
Houston.
When they closed in the Sham
rock a local newspaper had this to
say about the boys:
“It’s a fortunate thing that no
act appeared on the bill after Cell
Block 7, which is a Spike Jones-
type Dixieland group, who just
about tore the roof off the swank
hotel.”
One comment heard about the
Cell Block 7 was the management
was glad they did such a wonderful
job of entertaining the patrons,
but they committed one sin—they
pulled customers away from the
gambling tables to listen to their
music.
No wonder Ed Sullivan and his
TV show looked so tempting to the
entertainers.
Tickets are on sale at the Of
fice of Student Activities on the
second floor of the YMCA. All
seats for the performace are $1
each. Town Hall tickets will not
be accepted for this show.
Four Hospitalized
After Collision
Three Bryan men are in Bryan
Hospital following a two-car col
lision yesterday morning five miles
south of Heame on Highway 6.
A Hearne woman was also injured.
M. E. Adams, manager of Lone
Star Gas Company in Bryan, and
two employees, Chester Jones and
J. J. Pridgeon were injured when
the car which they were driving
crashed into a car driven by Betty
Barnett of Hearne, employee of
Haswell’s Book Store in Bryan,
Highway Patrolman O. L. Luther
said.
Adams received a compound
fracture of the leg and a broken
ankle. Hospital officials say that
he has serious internal injuries.
Jones suffered a broken leg,
cracked ribs and internal injuries.
Pridgeon received only minor
cuts and bruises.
approximately two million dollars
granted to A&M each year by the
state were saved until the year
2000, enough money would be on
hand to build an entirely new cam
pus.”
Another student wrote, “The
school was designed and planned
basically before 1876 and reached
its peak of efficiency 20 years
ago.”
“Military will be optional,” ad
ded another student in his report.
“Fifty percent will be civilian stu
dents.”
He went on to say that highway
6 will then be a 4-lane highway
and the railroad will be replaced
by a monorail.
Other assumptions were that
A&M would be co-educational and
the Corps of Cadets would be elim
inated.
Another idea was that no vehic
ular traffic would be allowed on
the campus.
Out of the 24 exhibits, many
problems were brought into view
and a solution was offered for
each.
“We hope to show some of these
projects in. the MSC very soon,”
said Colbeit.
“If the students’ work is recog
nized by enough people in the ar
chitecture profession, the publicity
gained could help the student very
much when going to work after
graduation.”
Dulles Hopeful
As House Eyes
Ike Manifesto
Representative Walks Out
Protesting Secret Hearings
WASHINGTON, UP)—One critical congressman bolted
a secret hearing on the Eisenhower Middle East manifesto
yesterday. But Secretary of State Dulles expressed confi
dent hope Congress would swiftly enact the President’s pol
icy.
“I’m hopeful it will be approved by Congress this
month,” Dulles said after a closed door hearing of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
The President is asking for standby authority to use
U.S. troops in the Middle East if asked in case of open Com
munist aggression. He also proposes to pour more dollars
into the Mideast economy.
Some Democrats were talk-+-
ing slowdown despite Dulles’
and Eisenhower’s appeals for
promptness.
One of them, Rep. Wayne
Hays of Ohio, stalked out of the
hearing, denouncing the secrecy
surrounding Dulles’ testimony.
I don’t think the State Depart
ment and Mr. Dulles should be
able to tell the American people
that everything is lovely in public,
and then go behind closed doors
and tell what grave dangers there
are,” Hays said
He complained that the admin
istration has “leaked” to the press
but that congressmen are cen
sured if they discuss on the House
floor what was taken up in closed
committee' sessions. He said he
wants to stay free to debate the
question on the floor.
In the Senate, yet to start hear
ings, Sen. Russell (D-Ga.), told re
porters: “I for one am not going
to be stampeded into action on
this."
Rep. Albert Thomas (D-Tex.), a
high ranking member of the
House Appropriations Committee,
also objected to speedy action. He
said Congress should go slow
about “delegating its responsibility
for declaring war.” And he said
the economic-military program
“can and probably will cost several
billion dollars.”
Dulles, who testified at an open
hearing yesterday, said he be
lieved today’s closed session was
necessary.
“If it had been open,” he said,
“we would not have been able to
tell the committee some of the
things we did because they would

Photo Lover
Swipes Shots
From Office
Horrors-someone has mis
takenly procured five pictures
from the office of the Aggie-
land ’57 which were on loan
from state newspapers and a
thorough search of the office
and YMCA has failed to pro
duce the missing shots.
The pictures, of the sequence
type, were the property of
state newspapers, and loaned
to Aggieland Editor Don Burt.
Burt and his crew had in
tended to ship the pictures to
Taylor Publishing Co. where
they would! be copied and
placed in this year’s issue of
the Aggieland. But, pictures
have a way of walking off it
seems.
No doubt, the person who
mistakenly took the shots mis
took them for last year’s
pictures, but in reality has
pictures of all the conference
games, except Arkansas, in
his possession.
As it now stands, an Athletic
Department brochure is being
held off the presses due to
the missing pictures and the
Aggieland staff’s faces are
mighty red.
If you know of the where
abouts of the pictures please
see they are returned to the
Office of Student Publications.
