AUSTIN, (A 3 )—Gov. Price Daniel,
,. who persuaded the State Senate
Monday to withdraw six late
Shivers appointments, today sub
mitted the same six to the Senate
for confirmation.
Both Daniel and Former Gov.
Allan Shiver’s could claim a vic
tory as a result of Monday’s
and yesterday’s developments in
the senate on the nominations of
the men to the governing' boards
of the University of Texas and
Texas A&M College system.
Daniel could point to a victory
on principle—that the incoming
governor rather than the outgoing
governor should make such last-
minute nominations. On the other
hand, Shivers will have succeeded
in getting his selections on the
boards. And the Senate, which al
ready has confirmed one man
Daniel was not supporting, has
demonstrated its power.
In his request to the Senate
Daniel urged that his objection
was not to the individuals named
by Shivers but to the principle.
Beaty Selected
Cotton King
For Pageant
John Beaty has been named King
Cotton for the annual Cotton Page
ant and Bali to be held here April
12.
The festivities, sponsored by the
Agronomy Society, will include
crowning a King and Queen to pre
side over the activities of the page
ant and ball.
Members of the Royal Court are
Bert Hoff of Windthorst, Ernesto
de Leon and Fausto Yturria of
Brownsville and Wayne Allen of
Edinburg, senior members; Harold
Byars of Anton, Merill Adamcik of
El Campo and David Bagley of
Martindale, junior members and
Kent Potts of Bryan, sophomore
member.
Beaty is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ory D. Beaty of Rt. 1, Commanche.
He is an Agronomy senior and
president of the Agronomy Soci
ety. A member of B Infantry, he
is a distinguished military student,
member of the corps team both
junior and senior year and holder
of the Luther Goodrich Jones
scholarship.
This in essence was that a new
governor should have considerable
voice on the appointive bodies
since his administration would be
charged with thei ractions.
Shivers insisted he had ample
precedent and both the legal and
moral right of making such ap
pointments.
Daniel said early yesterday he
had 22 votes in favor of recalling
the nominations and about the
same time the Senate came up
with all 30 votes (one senator was
absent). That led to considerable
speculation that there was some
fast behind-the-scenes trading in
volved.
Only routine confirmation now
stands in the way of the three A&M
directors: Eugene B. Darby of
Pharr, Herman Keep of Buda and
Austin, and L. H. Ridout Jr. of
Dallas.
When Daniel asked for with
drawal he said at the time he
would “no doubt resubmit some
if not all of them.”
Corps Staffers
Are Planning
To Move Hdq.
The Corps Staff should find
a permanent home around Ap

Lewis, inspector general of
the Cadet Corps. Work has
been underway all semester on the
new headquarters in Dorm 2
The new headquarters, formerly
a lounge, will house the offices of
the staff members/the area guard
room and a staff conference room,
said Lewis.
“For a long time A&M has need

“Several days ago some charges
of misconduct on the part of a
member of the House of Repre
sentatives came to my attention.
This evidence was of a grave and
serious nature and I immediately
conferred with several fellow mem
bers of the House of Representa
tives, of the Texas Department of
Public Safety and the district at
torney of Travis County. These
conferences, and the close coopera
tion that followed, have resulted in
the arrest of a member of the
house on a criminal charge.

Poultry juniors
To Enter Contest
Four junior Poultry Husbandry
majors will compete in the South
ern Collegiate Junior Poultry Judg
ing Contest in Jackson, Miss, next
month, but no one knows yet who
they are.
The Junior Poultry Judging
Team, under the supervision of
Cecil Ryan, is made up of four
men. Of these, three will judge
in competition, and one will go as
an alternate.
The four will be chosen from the
following; Ken Holleman, Carl
Armstrong, Clint Herring, David
Behlen, Bill McCoy, and W. D.
Benson. They will be selected on
the basis of judging ability, and
will be excused from classes for
a week to attend the contest.
The team will judge in the fol
lowing catagories; Breeding Se
lection, Ready-to-Cook Dressed
Birds, Production Judging, Live
Market Products, and Interior-
Quality of eggs.
In the past several years, the
A&M judging team has compiled an
excellent record at the Southern
Collegiate Contest. Since 1948, the
teams have won one first place, two
seconds, three thirds, one fourth
and one sixth.
New Water Aid Plan
Introduced By Senate
AUSTIN, CP)—The Senate Water-
Conservation Committee yester
day tossed out HB161, substituting
its own bill for setting up the 200
million dollar construction aid
plan to conserve water.
The 40-second action developed
after little discussion. Sen. George
Moffett of Chillicothe asked the
house bill’s number be printed on
the bill.
The Senate’s substitute already
had been approved by the com
mittee. If approved by the Senate,
it will go to a joint conference
committee.
The Senate plan would allow the
state to issue immediately up to
100 million dollars in bonds. The
money would be loaned to cities,
towns and other political subdivi
sions needing aid to construct
dams, treatment plans and cer
tain other projects.
Another 100 million dollars in
bonds could be issued by two-
thirds approval of both the House
and Senate.
The projects would have to be
approved by the state board of
water engineers before the pro
posed Texas Water Development
Board could make the loan. A re
volving fund would be established,
and the higher interest rate
charged local districts would al
low the state to make a profit.
The House bill provided for 200
million dollars in bonds which
could be issued immediately. Gov.
Price Daniel had suggested the
program be increased to 200 mil
lion, which both bills in effect do.
A major difference in the two
bills is the maximum interest rate
which the state could pay for the
bonds it sells. The Senate set the
maximum at 4 per cent, the House
at 3 per cent.
to staff headquarters setups in the
Army,” Lewis said.
Adjacent to the large plate-glass-
enclosed conference room will be
staff offices. This area will be
partitioned into five separate of
fices, with two desks in each of
fice. The walls are being painted
and the ceilings are being sound
proofed.
“Cabinets are being installed in
all the rooms, so that lack of space
should no longer present any prob
lem,” Lewis said. “The offices are
being made along the lines of any
'typical modern office.”
New desks will probably be
bx-ought in, he said, and the rooms |
will be fluorescent lighted.

the James
Rill Libby Attends
Religions Seminar
Bill Libby, junior in the Aggie
Band from Borger, recently re
turned from a three-day seminar-
on “Christian Citizenship” in
Washington, D. C.
He was one of 60 representatives
of the Methodist Student Move
ment from 50 colleges and uni
versities attending the seminar
Wednesday through Friday.
While in Washington Libby
heard such outstanding speakers
as Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill);
Harold Stassen, assistant to Presi
dent Eisenhower; Jacques And-
reani, attache of the French Em
bassy; Fred Hadsel of the state
department; Sterling Tucker of the
Urban League and Sen. Spessard L.
Holland (D-Fla).
placed their highest trust and con
fidence.
“We will take all necessary
steps to keep our own house in
order.”
Carr said he believed the charge
was the first of that serious na
ture to be filed against a member
of the legislature “in many many
years.”
Members of the legislature and
former legislators Ijjave been un
der heavy fire of criticism in the
last three years in connection with
the veterans land and insurance
scandals.
There have been widespread and
insistent demands that laws be
passed to put a stop to influence
peddling practices such as have
been spotlighted by investigations.

TWO CAN LIVE
AS CHEESILY AS ONE
Now in the final months of the school year, one thing
is certain: you and your roommate are not speaking.
But it is not too late to patch things up. Examine the
rift calmly. Search your soul with patience. Perhaps
the fault is yours. Perhaps you are guilty of violating
some of the basic rules of roommate etiquette.
For instance, in decorating your room, have you
forced your preferences on your roommate without re
gard to his or her tastes? This is a common cause of
friction. Indeed, it once happened to me back in my fresh
man year when I was sharing a room with a boy named
Rimsky Sigafoos who covered every inch of our wall
with 850 pictures of James Dean.
“Rimsky,” I said to him in gentle reproof, “please
don’t think me unduly, but I had hoped to put a picture
of my fiancee Mary Beth Thermidor on the wall.”
Rimsky examined the picture of my fiancee Mary Beth
Thermidor. “You’re kidding, of course,” he said and
dropped the picture in the wastebasket.
Well, that got my dander up, and I was mad as a wet
hen till Rimsky gave me a Philip Morris Cigarette.
As we all know, there is nothing like a mild, natural,
Philip Morris. Treats a man right. No filter, no foolin’!
Anger melts and frowns become smiles with Philip
Morris, all seems right in the world, and no man’s hand
is turned against you, nor yours against any man.
So, puffing a pacifying Philip Morris, I forgot all
about Rimsky’s slight to Mary Beth Thermidor. In fact,
with her picture out of sight, I soon forgot all about
Mary Beth Thermidor-, too, and one night at the Fresh
man Frolic, spying a round young coed over in a corner,
I came up to her and said with a fetching leer, “Excuse
me, miss. We don’t know each other, but I would like
to rectify that sad omission.” And she said, “Oh, you
horrid, horrid youth! I am your fiancee Mary Beth
Thermidor.” With that she stomped furiously away, and
though I tried to win her back with Philip Morrises, she
was beyond recall. I, utterly shattered, signed on as a
cabin boy with the Cunard Line and am today, aged 53,
the oldest cabin boy on the North Atlantic run. ^ 4 /
But I digress. We were talking about roommate eti
quette. Let us turn now to the matter of share and share
alike. Have you shared everything equally? Drawer
space? Closet space? Study space? And here’s one that
often causes trouble — hobby space.
Engineers, scientists, physicists, mathematicians...

My flJtive
When, for example, I roomed with Rimsky Sigafoos,
my hobby was stamp collecting. I did not take up much
room. All I needed was a small-corner for my stamps,
my album, my magnifying glass, and my tongue. Rimsky,
on the other hand, was by hobby a cat burglar. Hardly
a night went by when he didn’t burgle twenty or thirty
cats. You can imagine how crowded our little room used
to get! Many’s the time I got so exasperated that it took
two or three rich, natural Philip Morrises to restore my
native sweetness. ©MaxShuiman, 1957
He, the makers of Philip Morris and sponsors of this column,
knotc that you and your roommate are getting along just fine.
But if you ever do have a little tiff, don’t try a peace pipe.
Try a good, natural smoke — Philip Morris!
