Arnspiger in the YMCA. “A child will not respect a parent, unless the parent respects himself,” Dr. Arnspiger told the couples. The topic proved highly interesting to the few couples attending. Off the Cuff- What Goes On Here An unsolved burglary in College Station really has had Tyrus Timm, head of the Department of Agri cultural Economics and Rural So ciology, in a whiz since last week. Contrary to all the rules of con ducting a burglary, this time the culprit brazenly walked up to a bedroom window of the Timm home, removed the screen, raised the window and as detective Timm has it figured out—poked a fish ing rod with a hook on it across the room and removed Mrs. Timm's purse from a bed. All this was done with all lights in the house on, the family all home — watching television — and early in the evening. What makes Dr. Timm so mad is that the money in the purse was one of his expense checks which Mrs. Timm had cashed earlier in the day and had forgotten to divide with him. ★ ★ ★ Last week in this column, one Aggie’s trouble with lost pants was discussed. Now the subject of pants comes up again, but this time the culprits are irritating a tampus group which many people have great respect for—the Aggie Wives. Whereas last week’s thief lifted pne pair of long pants while the owner was playing football, this week finds pants of the short, sheer, lacy variety missing. Several residents of College View reported thefts of Women’s undergarments over the weekend and worried Campus Security offi cers compared them with a grow ing list of such misdemeanors col lected since September. Whoever or whatever is respon sible for the thefts, some campus sources, possibly remembering the recent irate letter protesting “sex stories” in the Commentator and signed “Aggie Wife”, considered warning the culprit to beware of his victims. Farm Bureau Men Discuss Allotment AUSTIN,—(A*)—Two officials of the Texas Farm Bureau met to day with Gov. Price Daniel to dis cuss a 10-million-dollar appropria tion for the Texas agricultural ex perimental stations. The stations, under tfie A&M College System, have asked for $10,629,497 for the next two fiscal years while the legislative budget board sliced the figure of $8,540,- 152. “We talked to the Governor about getting the two million dol lars put back on,” said Loys D. Barbour of Iowa Park and B. J. Gist of Abilene. The appropriation includes work at 23 sub-stations and 15 field lab oratories with biggest outlays go ing for agronomy, feed contx*ol ser vice and agriculture economics and sociology. Mind Man’s Determines Life: Broach Life can be meaningless and empty, or rich and full—it depends upon what a man thinks in his heart, Dr. Claude U. Broach, Re ligious Emphasis Week speaker, said this morning at the second campus-wide RE meeting in Guion Hall. “The dimensions of life are the outgrowth of affirmations. Let us therefore affirm, this, is a spirit ual universe, God is personal and knowable, prayer is power, per sonality is the supreme value and Jesus Christ is the supreme per sonality,” Broach said. “He comes to us as one unknown, without a name, as of old. He came to those who knew him not. A&M Hospital Urges Students To Get Shots Now is the time to become immunized against polio—be fore the polio season starts, according to Dr. Charles P. Lyons, superintendent of the college hospital. Dr. Lyons said that an adequate supply of Salk vaccine is available and it is perfectly safe. Charge for‘immunization is $1 per shot. Three shots are necessary for complete protection, spaced one month and seven months from the initial dose, he said. “No cases of severe paralysis or deaths due to polio occurred in Texas last year to people who had received two of the Salk series,” Lyons said. About 900 college students have received polio immunization, in cluding all the varsity athletes. There are no painful reactions to the Salk serum, Lyons said. “Children up to 20 years old usu ally have the most severe cases. However, no age group is im mune,” Lyons said. Seniors Can Order Grad Invites Now Seniors can begin ordering grad uation invitations, according to the Office of Student Activities. Orders are now being taken at the Student Activities Office on the second floor of the YMCA. Dead line for ordering announcements has been set for March 13. Seniors may order as many or as few invitations as they wish. There are three types of invitations to choose from. Student Activities advised seniors to place their orders as soon as possible to avoid confusion toward the deadline. Wrong Department BALTIMORE CP)—Over a fire alarm in the basement of a Johns Hopkins University building the sign said: “Fire alarm out of oi’der. Call power house.” He speaks to us the same words: ‘Follow tljiou Me’ and se^t us to the tasks which he has to fulfill for our times,” said the Charlotte, N. C. minister, quoting from Albert Schweitzer. Dr. Broach officially opened RE Week yesterday with a speech on “The Power the World Needs.” He said that men had access to resour ces and reserves of sheer power as never before, yet danger and fear prevail. Man’s problems are spirit ual and cannot be handled by the sheer weight of force and power, he said. “Christian faith is the channel of spiritual power. It is a power which alters and redeems charac ter, meets human needs and puts a new spirit in men,” Broach sta ted. Filing Deadline Set For Patrol Deadline for applications to the U. S.

Grubb says: “He’s a guy who enjoys life, liberty and the happiness of pur suit.” Repu blican Leader Against Sanctions WASHINGTON—{IP) — Sen. Knowland (R-Calif.) last night was reported thinking of quitting the American dele gation to the United Nations if the Eisenhower administration backs any move to single out Israel for sanctions. Knowland, the Senate Republican leader, was said to have informed State Department officials he cannot go along with any punishment of Israel that is not matched by sanc tions against Russia, Egypt and India. Asked if he would resign his U. N. assignment in pro test against American support of any resolution to apply economic sanctions to Israel for its refusal to withdraw troops from disputed territory, Knowland replied: *■ “I will make my position known when I find out what Ordnance Assn. To Get Charter From General Charter for the A&M Chap ter of the American Ordnance Association will be presented today at 4:15 p.m. by Maj. Gen. J. B. Medaris, command ing general, Army Ballistic Missile Agency, Redstone Arsenal. The general will speak on de velopments and the future of the guided missiles. The A&M Chapter was organ ized Jan. 8, with C. E. Beal Jr. as president. Other officers in clude N. T. Harris, vice president; T. R. Reddin, secretary and J. N. McCarty, public information offi cer. The American Ordnance Asso ciation is a patriotic, educational, scientific, non-political and non profit making organization of American citizens dedicated to sci entific and industrial preparedness for the common defense of the country, it is pointed out. the administration is going to do.” Knowland announced later that President Eisenhower has called a meeting of leaders of both parties in Congress for Wednesday. He said he assumed the President will be ready then to advise the leaders what the administration plans to do next. Knowland said he had not been informed of any plans the admin istration may have for altering the proposals, which Israel has reject ed, calling for withdrawal of its troops from Gaza and the Gulf of Aqaba area. The bipartisan meeting with the President will be the first for con gressional leaders since shortly before Congress convened, when they were briefed on the Middle East resolution subsequently pass ed by the House and now ready, in revised form, for Senate debate. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Tex as, the Democratic leader, told the Senate today he hopes the deadlock over Israel’s refusal to withdraw troops “does not revive the talk about sanctions or other methods of coercion.” BULLETIN The jury received the case and retired for their decision last night at midnight in the Broder ick murder trial in Livingston where 22-year-old Ronald E. Menter is on trial for his life. This is the second trial that Menter has stood after having been accused of killing Jan David Broderick Aggie senior, on New Years Eve of 1955 near Hemp stead. ‘The Spirit That Is Aggieland’ New Record Album Planned Sen. Douglas (D-Ill.) told the Senate that yesterday’s statement by the President amounted to re jection of Israeli requests for need ed clarification of the American proposals. He said present admin istration policies could “play di rectly into the hands of Egyptian President Nasser and the Arab bloc.” There were indications the State Department is striving to come up with a new proposal in the U.N. which would avoid a showdown on the sanctions issue. Gerald F. Tyne Will Speak To AIEE-ASME Gerald F. J. Tyne, of Bell Telephone Laboratories, Mur ray Hill, N.J., will speak at a joint meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engi neers—Institute of Radio Engi neers and the American Society of Engineers tonight at 7:30 i n the EE lecture room, 301 Bolton Hall. “Talk on Miniatureization-Com- ponents and Applications” will be the title of Tyne’s talk.

McCAIN From booming echoes of Aggies yells in The Grove to harmonious musical chords of male voices and band instruments, the Aggie’s traditional songs were once again being recorded on circular wax this afternoon at Guion Hall. “The Spirit That Is Aggieland”, a new album of famous Aggie songs and yells planned by the Student Activities Record Album Commit tee, is now being recorded by technicians from Camden, N. J. “These men, trained by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), have the finest hi-fidelity recording equipment available,” said C. G. (Spike) White, chairman of the record album committee. Containing eleven selections, the album is to be recorded by the Aggie Band and Orchestra, direct ed by Col. E. V. Adams, and The Singing Cadets, directed by W. M. Turner. Special yells were recorded last week in the Grove by the 12th Man. Side one of two records will in clude “Spirit of Aggieland” and “Aggie War Hymn” in yell-practice style by the Band and Singing Cadets. The old album featured only the Band. “Silver Taps” will be the third selection and will be played by Band buglers. On side two the Aggie Band will play “The U. S. Army March” and “The Star Spangled Banner”. The demand for the Band’s arrange ment of the National Anthem war ranted placing it in the album. The Singing Cadets on side one of the second record sing “The Spirit of Aggieland” and “12th Man” in choral style. The Aggie land Orchestra takes the spotlight next in dance style with a vocalist to play “I’d Rather Be A Texas Aggie”. “Auld Lang Syne” and “This is My Country” are sung by the Sing ing Cadets on side two. Aggie Patients Improve After Car Crash Condition of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Richards and their sister-in law Beulah Duplechan is improved at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan. The three were hospitalized Sat urday with injuries received in a two-car smash-up south of College Station on Highway 6. Richards is Missouri Pacific agent at College Station. yells at yell practice are featured as the eleventh selection. “Eleven thousand of the old album have been sold since its re cording in 1951,” said White. “This is more than any other college re cording in the country has sold.” White said the albums would be made by RCA in both 45 r.p.m., extended play and long-playing sizes. The front cover will picture the annual bonfire and the back the 12th Man at yell practice. Sale of the new albums is sched uled for late March, “If everything goes well,” White said. Cost of the records will be $3.50 for the two records. The old album sold for $3 and contained only one record. Profits from the sale of the albums will be split between the musical organizations making the recordings and the student body. Weather Today Continued low cloudiness, with almost continuous light rain and possible fog, is the forecast. The temperature at 10:30 this morning was 49 degrees.
