i The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Friday, February 8, 1957 SENATE An Expensive Pipedream State Representative Brownrigg Dewey of Bryan last night said he would not support the bill of State Senator W. T. (Bill) Moore which calls for a county court-at-law for Brazos county. Dewey has the power to kill the bill completely since it must have House approval before becoming a law. It al ready has been approved by the Senate. But Dewey is protesting only against its form since he has amendments to &dd to it- He is taking the long way around in his effort to remedy the situation. As yet, there is no proof that any such court is needed. Biggest argument supporting the bill is that the future might not provide a “capable man like County Judge A. S. Ware” to handle the cases and that Texas law states that Judge Ware’s position may be held by a man who is not a licensed attorney. Such an idea sounds like ^a pipedream. It is a basic American principle that the people have the ability to elect a qualified man for the position without creating unnecessary restrictions. Investigation and testimony from local lawyers show that neither court (county nor district) is crowded. So evidently there is no actual need for another court. The whole deal looks like a plan by Sen. Moore to create a judgeship at the expense of the citizens of Brazos County. If there is not enough business to keep two courts busy, it is a cinch a third one cannot pay for itself. A few years ago Sen. Moore ran a bill through the Sqn- ate making A&M co-educational.

(Continued from page 1.) the possibilities of a campus chest fund for A&M. Piper said he had studied sev eral programs at other schools and thought it would be worthwhile for A&M to have such a program, administered by the Senate. Piper said the chest fund would be col lected by soliciting the students at the beginning of the school year and an itemized budget used for dispensing funds. When quizzed about the use of such a fund Piper replied, “It would be used for various needs during the year and for emergen cies.” Senator Tom Harris de fended the idea with “such a fund could be used for cases such as happened to James Sarran and Bill Curry.” No mention was made that this fund would serve the same pur pose as the proposed insurance plan. With a majority vote of the Senate, Piper was authorized to see if he could work up a plan for a campus chest fund for A&M. 12th Man Bowl Report Joe Dave Ross presented a fi nal Twelfth Man Bowl Fund re port and announced that $500 has been set aside for the Twelfth Man Scholarship Fund and about $675 for the Student Aid Fund. Salk Serum Gone; New Supply Today Due to the overwhelming re sponse by students to receive Salk vaccine polio shots at the College Hospital, the supply has been tem porarily used up but more is ex pected today. Dr. C. R. Lyons, hospital super intendent, says that over 800 stu dents have taken the shots since the hospital began stocking the vaccine. Cost of each shot is $1. Polio season begins in March and according to Lyons, for ade quate protection from polio at least two shots should be taken. A&M BUDGET (Continued From Page 1) opens session, a study is made of the needs of each of the schools. The school then receives a letter telling them of the figure reached by the Legistive Budget Board and that if they (the school) disagree, they are welcome to come before the appropriations committees to present their case. President Williams has spent the last three days (and he isn’t through yet) appearing before the committees answering questions and trying to impress the commit tee with the greater need A&M has because of higher costs for teaching technical coruses.

The Scarlet Letter This is a heart rending story of a humble Boston lass; named Hester Prynne who is so poor that she does not have enough to eat, nor a roof to cover her head. But she is a brave, brawny lass and she never complains and by and by her patience is rewarded: in the summer of 1859 she wins a football scholarship to Alabama. Hester works hard and makes the varsity and wins! her letter. Everybody says she is a shoo-in for All-Con ference honors, but along comes the War Between thei States, and football, alas, is dropped for the duration. 1 >i - PAL TONIGHT PREVIEW 11 P. M.

It is a bitter cold winter, and poor Hester, alas, does not have a roof over her head, and the only warm clothing she owns is the football sweater from Alabama, but that, alas, has a big scarlet “A” on the front of it, and she can hardly wear such a thing in Boston where Union sentiment runs so high. Poor Hester, alas, freezes to death. \ ( Little Women Xhe Marches are a very happy family — and for no reason whatsoever. They are poor as snakes; they work from cockci'ow to evensong; their dear old father Philip is away with the Union armies; and their mattresses are lumpy. Still, nothing can dampen the spirits of madcap Meg, jocular Jo, buoyant Beth, animated Amyr and crazy old Marmee, as the merry March girls Idviil^ly call their lovable mother. Well sir, one Christmas the March girls get an in vitation to a ball. But Beth reminds the sisters that they can hardly go traipsing off and leave poor Marmee alone at Christmas time. The sisters swear a lot, but they finally agree with Beth. Marmee, however, will not hear of it. “Land’s sake, little women!” she cries. “You must go to the ball and have some fun. There will be punch and ginger snaps and confetti. Best of all, there will be morris dancing. Oh, how your father and I used to love that!” “I never knew father could dance,” cries Meg. “Oh, yeah?” cries Marmee. “You should have seen Philip morris!” “Was Philip a good morriser?” cries Jo. “The best,” cries Marmee. “Philip could morris in long size and regular and was full of natural goodness and fresh and firm and unfiltered too.” The girls are cheered to hear this and go to the ball. Marmee stays home all alone, but soon gets a wonderful surprise: Philip comes back from the war! When the girls return from the ball, they find Marmee and Philip morrising, and they cry “Huzzah!” and throw their bonnets in the air, where they are to this day. ©Max Shulman, 1957 Speaking of books, in our book today’s new Philip Morris, made by the sponsors of this column, is the smoothest, tastiest cigarette ever offered anywhere!
