Liberty Bell
In Rotunda
Cast In France
Why in the world is a bell
standing in the rotunda of the
Academic Building, anyway?
Not many undergraduates real
ize what our Liberty Bell stands
for.
About all it means to the
Corps is its value as a little-
used campusology question; the
word Pennyslvania is misspelled
on it.
To everyone else, it’s just some
thing to occasionally spill a soft
drink on.
The Liberty Bell, the states of
ficial replica of the original, was
presente dto the College July 4th
1950, by Allan Shivers, then gov
ernor of Texas.
The bell was one of 53 exact
replicas cast in France, and then
displayed in the U. S. on behalf
of the Savings Bond program.
The Bell was accepted by Dr.
M. T. Harrington, then president
of the College, after each state
received one of the bells.
Hanging from an oak beam
between two supports, the bell
was once covered by a glass case
which protected it and kept
passers-by from ringing the huge
noisemaker.
An inscription on a plaque
which once accompanied the bell
stated: “Dedicated to You, A Free
Citizen in a Free Land.”

MSC Senior Cook
Began As Pot Man
By BILL DINGER
Batt Special Writer
Few men can boast a longer
record of service to Texas A&M
than Frank Hubacek, now a cook
in the MSC, who has 41 years of
service to Aggies.
“I had quit school, and when I
first came to A&M, I got my
first job in Sbisa Mess Hall, he
said.
This job, one of the few he
could get at his age, was as a
flunky.
He carried pots and pans from
the meal line to the kitchen. After
about six months, he was put in
a better job.
“Then I got on the vegetable
line where I cleaned and prepared
vegetables. The last four or five
months, I worked in the pantry,
making salads. All together, I
stayed on the vegetable line
about two years.

A&M Gets $400,00(T Grant
“Then I got on the meat line,
and I helped prepare steaks,
chops or whatever happened to
be on the menu that day. I fixed
meats for three to four years.”
After six years of food prepa
ration, Hubacek was made cook
for the athletes’ table, where he
prepared meals for not only the
athletes, but also for patients in
the hospital.
As to what Sbisa was like when
he started there, Hubacek told of
hauling coal to the stoves in the
morning, and shoveling it into
the stoves, like firemen did on
coal-burning locomotives.
In 1950, he was transferred to
the MSC kitchen.
“There wasn’t too much up here
when it opened. Everything is
new now.”
Everything is new — except
for Frank Hubacek.
The Atomic Energy Commis
sion Tuesday announced a $400,-
000 grant to Texas A&M Univer
sity for the first year of opera
tion of A&M’s new $6 million
cyclotron nearing completion on
campus.
Announcement was made by
Dr. Herman M. Roth, control of
ficer of the Oak Ridge Opera
tions Office of the AEG in a tele
gram to Dr. A. D. Suttle, Jr.,
A&M vice president for research,
who is also project manager of
the huge cyclotron project.
The cyclotron is expected to be
in full operation before the be
ginning of the next academic
year with a staff of more than
20 scientists. Preliminary “shake
down” operations will be under
way well before that time, how
ever. The building that will
house the cyclotron is nearly
complete now.
The $400,000 will be used prin
cipally in support of research in
low energy nuclear physics in
which the study of the structure
of atomic nuclei will be involved.
Principal A&M research in
vestigators are Drs. John A. Mc
Intyre, Robert A. Kenefick and
John C. Heibert, all of whom are
conducting research at Oak Ridge
and at A&M’s Nuclear Science
Center. When the cyclotron is
fully operational, their work will
be centered here entirely. They
. work under W. A. McFarlin, as
sociate director for operations.
This increased support of
A&M nuclear research is an ex
tension of contract between the
AEC and A&M for the operation
of the cyclotron. The first year’s
support amounted to $150,000.
Dr. Suttle said that this sup
port followed a recent visit of
AEC officials under the direction
of Dr. George Rogosa, of the
AEC, who conducted the project
review here in September.
Dr. Rogosa found the physical
arrangement of the cyclotron
vault the most efficient he has
seen, and was well pleased with
the progress made by A&M per
sonnel, Dr. Suttle said.
President Earl Rudder pointed
out that the grant is one of the
largest the AEC has made in sup
port of its low energy program.
By next September, the facili
ty will be used by several dis
ciplines on campus, including
physics, chemistry, activation
analysis and biology at the out
set.
The grant is subject to renew
al, the AEC said, and covers
operations until next August 30.
Weirus Says
First Concern
Should Be God
A person’s ultimate concern
shouldn’t be something that can
be taken away from him, but it
should be something spiritual—
an alliance with God.
This was the theme of a presen
tation by Richard “Buck” Weirus,
executive secretary of the Former
Students Association, in the last
of the “Last Lecture” series spon
sored by the YMCA.
Weirus told students to ask
themselves this question—What
is my ultimate concern? He said
there are many possible answers.
Among them are money, posses
sions, and happiness.
“Your ultimate concern should
n’t be something that can be
taken away,” he said.
“A time will come when you
must go to something bigger than
you are.”
Weirus said the number one
reason for failure in jobs is be
cause the person cannot get along
with his employer or fellow em
ployees.
He emphasized human relation
ships are the basis for everything
in life.
“The greatest quality in human
existence is love,” Weirus said as
he advanced his thesis. “The love
and concern a man has for his
neighbor is the key to what Jesus
taught.”
He listed several qualities which
he believed most important. These
were humility, loyalty, forgive
ness, concern for other people, a
sense of humor, love for your fel
low man and for school, and a
positiveness of attitude in all
things.

GRAND DAY FOR A SOPHOMORE
Wendell Housley wears a number that will one of 33 plays in which he gained a total
soon become famous for knifing through of 127 yards for A&M in their SWC victory
any line. Here Housley fights his way in over Baylor.
Offense Dominates
First Half Play
By BOB JONES
WACO — Texas A&M’s bat
tered and bandaged gridiron crew
produced a powerful offense,
backed by a tremendous defense
and a lot of pure desire to win
here last Saturday as the Fight-
in’ Texas Aggies posted a 17-13
victory over the chosen Baylor
Bears.
The win leaves the Aggies on
top of the Southwest Conference
race with a 3-0 league mark.
Southern Methodist is close be
hind with a 2-0 reading and
Saturday’s rival, Arkansas, trails
with a 2-1 conference record.
Aggie Coach Gene Stallings
just couldn’t say enough about his
team after the game, but he real
ly didn’t have to say a word —
the team did all the talking that
was needed in 60 minutes of
head-on combat with Baylor.
A&M continued its tough brand
of football throughout the game,
showing a superior offense in the
first half and then throwing up
a solid defense the second half to
take the win.
The Maroon and White came
up with five more big pass in
terceptions to aid its defensive
game. It allowed Baylor’s sup
posedly stronger offense 71 total
yards in the first half and only
five pass completions in 16 at
tempts.
Sophomores Wendell Housley
and Edd Hargett paced the Ag
gie offense. Housley set a new
conference record for the most
carries in a single SWC game.
The 200-pound halfback toted the
pigskin 33 times, the old rec
ord was 32 carries.
Housley racked up 88 yards
rushing in the first half and 127
yards for the game with one pass
reception for seven yards.
Without a doubt, Housley put
on a fine performance, but a lot
of credit goes to the Aggie for
ward wall that tore gaping holes
in the Baylor defensive line. The
Bear defense headed by Dwight
Hood and Greg Pipes just could
n’t stand up to the Aggies’ Mo
Moorman, Mark Weaver, Gary
Kovar, Don Koehn, Ed Breding,
and Jack Pybum.
The Aggie linemen cleared the
way for A&M running plays or
stood fast when qutherback Har
gett called a pass-play. Hargett
attempted 25 passes during the
afternoon and completed 15 for
a neat 60 per cent. In all the
Aggies counted 156 yards from
passes.
A&M’s offense slowed down in
the second half, but its defense
picked up speed. Twice Baylor
threatened to score in the closing
minutes of the game — both times
Aggie defenders came up with the
big play.
The Maroon marched 84 yards
for its first score. The Aggies
started the drive with a 25-yard
pass from halfback Bob Long
back to Hargett. Housley turn
ed in runs- of 16, 3 and 5 yards
and A&M scored on a Hargett-to-
Tommy Maxwell pass from the
Bear 10. Glynn Lindsey’s PAT
was good and the Aggies led,
7-0, with six minutes left in the
initial period.
The second Farmer score was
