Second Town Hall
Charms Audience
By WELTON JONES
MisS: Dorothy Collins, who called
herself the “June Allyson of tele
vision” and then proceeded to prove
that she was wrong, joined with
the orchestra of Shep Fields to
charm a large Town Hall audience
last night in an abnormally short
program.
The audience was attentive to
Miss Collins as she sang a review
of songs she interpreted on the
television program “Your Hit Pa
rade”, with which she sang for
seven years, but they threatened
Do become unruly when she did a
Signified strip tease on stage, re
vealing a black satin sheath, more
suitable for the torch songs which
followed.
Included in her songs was a vo
cal tribute to her daughter Deb
bie, who was three years old yes
terday. The show was cut shorter
than usual, with no intermission,
Weather Today

in order that she could fly back to
New York last night.
Orchestra leader A1 Johnson,
who^eft his own band in Las Vegas
to join Miss Collins here, did a
commendable job with the Fields
organization in arranging the mu
sic, rehearsing it and conducting
it in the space of one day.
Shep Fields was his usual pol
ished professional self, and brought
a very personable girl vocalist,
Jackie Austin, with him. Also
featured were clarinetist Bud
Thompson and vocalist Bob Bodet.

Important Meeting Set
For Basic Students
All new entering Basic Division
students will meet with their
faculty advisers at 4 p.m. Tues
day. According to C. H. Ransdell,
associate dean of the Basic
Division, “this is a very import
ant meeting, and every student
is expected to attend.”
Community Chest
Makes Final ! > lans
Next Tuesday 20 zone captains of
the 1957-58 A&M College-College
Station Community Chest begin
making the rounds in 17 zones set
up for the drive which is striving
for $14,950 this year.
The zone captains are charged
with visiting all citizens in their
zones and soliciting contributions
for the drive. Captains will also
furnish a detailed list of agencies
to receive the Community Chest
funds to those approached for do
nations.
The objective of the Community
Chest is to allow citizens to make
their contributions to charities for
the entire year at one time instead
of being solicited by the various
organizations at different times
throughout the year.
Money received from the drive
will be proportioned among 15
charities and organizations which
will be of benefit in some way to
local citizens.
Since it is the problem of people
in the Bryan-College Station area
of living in one community and
working in the other, there is often
uncertainty in their minds of which
drive they should contribute to, or
whether they should contrubute to
both drives, Richard Vrooman, co-
chairman of the drive said.
Common precedent seems to he
that the donations be requested
where the people work, however,
Vrooman added. He said this
year’s soliciting would be aimed at
the place of work since this i^ the
common custom.
Vrooman also said that some
people might feel it their duty to
contribute to both drives, and if
this is the case, they should con
tribute the most to the place they
feel the strongest obligation.

We want the Corps to know
that every effort is being under
taken to heal the wound between
qur two schools, George Depee,
Texas Christian University Stu
dent Congress president said last
night to the Student Senate.
Spokesman for the group of five
representatives from the TCU stu
dent body, Ilepee said “It will be
virtually impossible to repay all
damage done last Saturday as bqdr
ily pain and ugly memories will
remain for a long time.”
Student Senators unanimously
accepted- Depee’s apologies in be
half of TCU students.
Depee said incidents on their
campus had been traced to several
causes. First, he said, there was
a lack of education emphasizing
to the students the principles of
good sportsmanship. Since TCU
in the past has had a reputation
for good sportsmansbip the possi
bility of such incidents was un
foreseen, he said.
Secondly, circumstances were’
partly tq blame. A pep rally wqs
scheduled Friday at midnight, the
same time many Aggies were
bringing their dates back to their
dorms to sign in. The enthusiasm
instilled by the pep rally plus the
appearance of Aggies on the cam
pus led to outbreaks qf violence,
Depee said.
“Don’t misunderstand me,” De-
pee said. “A girl here may date
whom she pleases and it is a
shameful thing when any student
from any school is unwelcome. I
merely point out that the timing
of the pep rally at the same time
the girls were supposed to be in
their rooms added to tension.”
Thitd, enthusiasm and tension
over the Aggie-Frog clash has in
creased steadily from yqar to year,
but releasing this tension and en
thusiasm along wrong channels as
exemplified this past weekend is
deplorable, Depee said.
A$ for action taken by the Con
gress and the administration at
TCU, Depee told the Senate that
a special meeting of the Congress
had been called and a resolution of
regret for their conduct was pars
ed. Also, strict disciplinary action
would be taken against all indivi
duals definitely known to have
started or to have taken part in
the brawls, he said.
And, according to Dr. Laurence
Smith, dean of students at TCU,
in the release prepared for radio
releases sent to Lt. Col. Taylor
Wilkins and Corps Commander Jon
Hagler, “Indications are that there
will he several such cases.”
Depee also said that the Con
gress is attempting to recover all
stolen articles of clothing and re
imbursement of items not recover
ed will be made by their body as
soon as an accui’ate list is for
warded to them.
Depee and Dean Smith both cqm-
mended student leaders at A&M in
preventing more trouble than oc
curred.

Kyle Field Sold Out
For ‘Game of Year ’
BY GARY ROLLINS
Battalion Sports Editor
A sellout crowd of over 42,000 will invade Kyle Field
tomorrow at 2 p. m. to view the clash of the Texas Aggies
and the Baylor Bears—in what has been called the game of
the year.
The Cadet gridders will have as guests their fathers,
who will sit alongside the Aggie bench and be introduced to
the crowd at halftime.
The game was pronounced a sellout early Wednesday, as
a sudden rush for tickets came on the heels of the announce
ment that the game would not be televised due to another
college game within a 100-mile radius.
Coach Paul Bryant’s Aggies will seek their sixth straight
victory of the season and their second win in conference play.
The mighty Farmers have not suffered a defeat since the
1955 season; their record only being blemished by a tie with
the University of Houston.
The massive Baylor Bears, with a line averaging 217
pounds ably coached by Sam Boyd, will bring one of the
outstanding lines in the nation to College Station as they
seek their fourth win of the season, having been bounced by
Miami and Arkansas. Although this was supposed to be their
year for becoming SWC Champions, they opened their con
ference schedule on a sour note by bowing to Arkansas’ un
predictable Razorbacks.
Statistically, the two teams rank about the same, with
the Cadets holding a slight edge. However, in a game like
this, the paper work is thrown out the window, and the win
ner is usually the team that wants victory the most.

Civilian Councilmen
Urge Better Dress
Members of the Civilian Student
Council last night voted to draft
an appeal to all Civilian students
urging’ them to improve their per
sonal appearance.
At the reg-ular meeting 1 of the
Council in the Memorial Student
Center, President Bill McKown
said he felt the di-ess of the Civil
ians could certainly be improved.
Such a measure, he said would do
much to increase the prestige of
the Civilians at A&M.
The Council placed the New Stu
dent Committee in charge of draft
ing the appeal and also stipulated
the group should investigate meth
ods of eliminating friction between
the Corps and Civilians.
Later discussion at the meeting
included a short discussion about
changing the format of the Civil
ian dormitory pages in the Aggie
land. Val Polk, civilian editor of
the yearbook, told the group why
he thought a change was in order.
Standing committee appoint
ments were made and the following
men were placed on committees:
Fred Hartman, Demcie Burton
and Troy Spencer were appointed
to the Traditions Committee; Bob
Montgomery, Charles Graham and
Jarrell Pruitt were put on the Ci
vilian Weekend Committee.
Tom Beckett, Isaac Garza and
Lester Berry were appointed to
the New Student Committee.
Other men placed on as yet un
named committees were Dick Mc-
Glaun, Jerry Reynolds and Alton
Smith; Bill Lynch, Sammy Ray, A1
Kirst and Fred Pendleton; Billy
Sprayberry, A. M. Hoffpauir and
McKown.
The last committee was directed
to work with the Aggieland to see
what improvements could be made.
