Orderly Policy Looms For Releasing Army Personnel

Sellout Expected For Homecoming Tilt

Aggies were officially welcomed to the Baylor Campus for the weekend by a four man good-will delegation who vis­ited A&M yesterday. In addition to welcoming the Aggies they outlined the weekend activities.

For Baylor this is the biggest weekend of the year. It is Homecoming, the time when all Baylorites reunite on the campus and attend the football game.

Starting off events in Waco will be their annual bonfire, to be lit at 10 p.m. Friday. Aggies were welcomed to the bonfire and the Pep Rally following it.

Saturday will be highlighted by a parade through down­town Waco, and the football game which will start at 2 p.m. at the new Bavlor Stadium.

Washington, Oct. 27—<#>—Sec­retary Pace said yesterday the Army hopes to start releasing mo­bilized National Guardsmen and reservists next summer in a pro­gram which may be completed be­fore early lf)52.

Pace indicated that more Ameri- ran troops may begin to flow to Europe soon, but he said the army iloes not now plan to send any National Guard units overseas.

In another military manpower development, the Air Force said it will halt immediately the call­up of enlisted reserves.

These facts came out as the four services set up new procedures cov­ering the recall and the discharge of reservists.

Instructions SeparateThe Army, Navy, Marine Corps

and Air Force issued separate in­structions . to carry out Defense Secretary Marshall’s directive of Monday outlining an “orderly” policy for mobilization of reserve units and individuals.

Marshall said that Reservists must be kept on active duty invol­untarily only until the increased manpower requirements of the ser­vices can be met, and reservists or units so recalled have reached a state of maximum traming.

Procedures outlined by the four services included:

ArmyAfter Nov. 10, enlisted reservists

will be notified of active duty or­ders at least four months in ad­vance unless a material change in the military situation dictates otherwise.

Reservists whose orders are now in the mail or which have been temporarily delayed must still re­port for duty on the date speci­fied.

The Army will need more offi­cers and medical men. Already 20,000 reserve officers have been recalled, the last of whom will re­port in November.

The Army said its general rule on relief of reservists and guards-

Sophs File For Office, Voting Next Wednesday

Candidates for Sophomore Class Officer positions can now file for the respective class positions in the Student Activities Office in Good­win Hall, according to Grady Elms, assistant director of student activ­ities.

Deadline for filing for the ten vacant positions is noon October 21, Elms said.

To date 11 students have filed for the open positions. For class president Burl Purvis, E Infantry; Putter Jarvis, C Infantry; and Richard Wheat, A Chemical War­fare Service, have applied.

For vice president, Bob Johnson, B Battery; Joel Austin. A Quar­termaster; and Gerald Staffel, Maroon Band, have applied.

English Professors To Visit Workshop

Six members of the English de­partment wdll attend the annual English Workshop District Meet­ing in Galveston Saturday, Dr. T. F. Mayo, head of the English de­partment, said today.

The meeting will consist qf high school and college English teachers. Purpose of the meeting is to integrate the teaching of English in Texas high schools and colleges.

Dr. S. S. Morgan of the College English department, is chairman of the program committee for this district, and Dr. Fred Ekfelt also of A&M will appear on the pro­gram.

Dr. Mayo recently spoke at one of the 11 annual educational dis­trict meetings at Tarleton State College at Stephenville, Tex.

is the only candidate for sergeant- at-arms. Pat LeBlanc, A CWS, is the only one to file for secretary. T. L. Hurta, A Infantry, is the only candidate in the race for treasurer.

The Sophomore class is allowed three representatives to the Stu­dent Senate with the stipulation that they do not have voting priv- iliges. The class vice president, who automatically becomes a Sen­ate member upon election, is allow­ed voting privileges as provided for in the Senate constitution.

Ralph Shanahan, B Transporta­tion, and Gene Steel, H Flight, are the only two to apply thus far for the Student Senate positions.

The offices of social secretary and parliamentarian still lack can­didates and Grady Elms urges all students interested in these positions to file their applications immediately.

Voting procedure this year will differ from the usual method. In­stead of voting by dormitories, the class will vote as a body, Elms said. Voting will, however, be by secret ballot.

The class will meet at 7 p. m. in the Assembly Hall on Nov. 1 to vote. Voting in this mannei', the votes can be announced sooner, Elms added.

A ballot tabulating committee of sophomores is being formed and results of the primary election will be announced as soon as possible after the election.

There will be a run-off of the top three candidates for each position unless voting indicates a majority in the primary.

All students of sophomore class­ification are eligible for office, in­cluding non-corps students. There are no special offices for non­corps.

men will be to retain them until they have been adequately trained and until they can be replaced by draftees and volunteers.

NavyThe Navy said it won’t know its

overall manpower needs until next year.

However, it announced it needs no more naval reserve airmen, and that its need for reserve aviation ground officers has been “substan­tially” met for the immediate fu- tiu'e.

The Navy also emphasized that reservists who transferred to or­ganized units will be no more or less liable to summons than volun­teer reserves possessing similar qualifications.

The Navy emphasized that it still needs reserve officers for general line and staff duties.

Insofar as practicable, the Navy said, reserves in the call-up quota for next March, April, May and June will receive four months no­tice.

Marine CorpsTh Marine Corps announced that

all Marine officers and enlisted men earmarked for active duty by next June 30 will be individually notified by the end of December.

Any Marine reservist not so notified, the Corps said, will know that he has at least four months to continue his present employ­ment.

The Corps said that the majority of reservists to be called have al­ready received their orders. All those who have received orders will be given a minimum of 30 days to report.

Air ForceThe Air Force, in addition to

discontinuing immediately the call­up of enlisted reserves, announced that it will confine the involun­tary recall of air reserve officers to those possessing “critical skills” not available from volunteer sour­ces.

The Air Force said it would re­lease all Air National Guard and reserve personnel, upon their appli­cation, as soon as trained replace­ments are available.

Bus Strike ContinuesOne of the hardships of the weekend, Frank Ingr

senior Student Council member,♦---------------- -------------------said, was the Waco bus strike. City transportation has been tied up be­cause of the strike.

However Baylor students and j f Waco residents have been asked to ! i drive by the campus on their way to the game and pick up students from both schools who need rides.

Ingraham pointed out that get­ting rides from non-students would also be better near the campus.

Information booths for visitors have been set up on the second floor of the Baylor Student Union Building by the Waco Chamber of Commerce. Additional informa­tion is available from the Student

I Council offices on the third floor of the Un'ion Building.

Aggies were told not to take offense at the Baylor tradition of having the freshmen guard the campus before the game Saturday.They have been told not to molest Aggies visiting the campus.

OD RequestedTo insure good feelings, the Bay­

lor group asked A&M to furnish “officers of the day” to accompany the Baylor guards on their rounds of the campus.

At a company commander’s meet­ing after yell practice it was point­ed out, there was nothing to the rumor about Baylor girls not be­ing allowed to date Aggies.

Girls have been given permission to stay out until midnight Friday, they said.

While housing on the campus and in the city is extremely acute be­cause of the Homecoming celebra­tions, Aggies will be given any aid possible to get housing, the delegation said.

They also said the Aggies will sit on the East side of the Stadium and should enter through the East Gate.

Stadium LocationThe game, expected to be a sell­

out, will be played in the new Bay­lor stadium, located at Dutton and 29th Streets.

Members of the group were In­graham, Brad Corrigan, junior members of the Student Council; 0. D. Martin, senior representa­tive of the Ministerial Alliance Ex­ecutive Council; and Russell Ben­nett, senior director of the Fresh­man Dormitory.

Corrigan gave the welcoming speech to the Aggies at last night’s yell practice.

They were guests of the Cadet Corps for dinner in Duncan Hall and were taken on a tour of the Memorial Student Center.

Lt. Col. William S. McCulley, member of the Math Department, has been named squadron train­ing officer of the 9807th Volun­teer Air Regiment, and is re­sponsible for training air re­serve units at College Station, Huntsville, Brenham, and Schul- enberg.

Reject Russian Peace Plans, Austin Asks (JIM

Lake Success, Oct. 27— : (AP)— American delegate > Warren R. Austin yesterday urged the U. N. political com­mittee to reject Russia’s pro- pasols for a big five peace pact and a one-third cut in the Armed Forces of the five powers. He tag­ger the proposals an “iceberg” plan full of hidden peril.

Austin told the committee the Russians have shown “no evidence of a basic change of heart” that would commit them to help stop aggression. He said a vote for Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vish- insky’s proposals would be a vote against those things the U. S. has done in the “greatest trial of its life.”

Nationalist China also turned down Vishinsky’s ideas. Its dele­gate, T. F. Tsiang, said the “Com­munist regime in China today is as subject to Soviet aggression as my government was.”

Sir B. N. Rau, India, tossed in a proposal for an international peace fund to be made up partly from money saved by a general disarmament program on the part of all nations. He called the U. N. members to specify by next March how much and on what basis they were willing to reduce their armaments and contribute to this fund. He said this fund could be used to fight hunger and disease and raise the standard of living in under-developed areas.

Rail’s plan apparently was an outgrowth of President Truman’s speech Tuesday in which he called for greater efforts to help under­developed countries and set up a fool-proof disarmament scheme.

The Russians have walked back into two other organizations—the security council and the economic and social council.

Manchurian Border Opposition Fierce

Seoul, Oct. 27—GP)—Red troops attacked Allied forces today in northwestern Korea in a, fierce at­tempt to drive them from the Man­churian frontier.

There were new prisoner reports that a heavy portion of the at­tackers were Chinese Reds who crossed over from Communist Man­churia.

Col. F. E. Gillette, U.S. adviser with South Koreans at Kunuri, 48 miles north of captured Pyong­yang, said he was inclined to give the report "some credibility.”

AP Correspondent Tom Lam­bert was with the South Koreans at Kunuri. He said one captured Chinese Communist told interroga­tors that two mixed divisions of Chinese Reds and North Koreans had crossed the Yalu River from Manchuria into North Korea. The river is the boundary.

Lambert said the Chinese pris-

Post Game Dance In Waco Relocated

The Aggie dance following the Baylor game will be held in Scenic Wonderland on Highway 6 near the Aggie line instead of the Casa Blanca. The change was made be­cause of the additional space avail­able, Guy King, vice president of the Waco Club, said yesterday.

Jack Reams and his orchestra will furnish music in the modern style for the dancers and a floor show will be imported from Dallas, King added.

Only 600 tickets will be available for Aggies. They may be purchased from any member of the Waco club. King also asks anyone de­siring to plan a party to contact him in Dorm 5-204.

Plans For Election Code Modernization Announced

Austin, Tex., Oct. 27—<A>>—Plans Remove the absentee-voting func- to simplify, modernize and tighten | tion from the county clerk’s of- the state election code have been 1 fice and put it in the hands ofproposed by the Election Laws Revision Commission.

It asked for public reaction on a dozen sweeping changes designed to make vote frauds more diffi­cult, and to make the laws more workable.

Dean Abner V. McCall of the Baylor University School of Law is chairman of the commission and Prof. A. P. Cagle of Baylor, former legislator, is its research counsel.

The commission met earlier this month in Waco with representa­tives of the Democratic and Re­publican parties. This conference resulted in a dozen or so sugges­tions for major revisions, such as:

Give the attomey general power to investigate alleged election law violations and to prosecute when local officials fail or refuse to.

Hold primaries earlier and in­crease the time between first and second primaries to permit full adjunction of contests and to stim­ulate voter interest.

special election board of three judges.

Provide for registration of voters every two years and permit secur­ing of poll tax exemptions up to within 30 days of the election date.

Abandon the scratch-out method of marking a ballot and use instead a check or cross system.

Abandon the limitation on cam­paign expenditures, or raise the limits. The commission said the present Taw is not effective and “some plan of publicity should be devised that would serve as a check on the buying of public office.”

Hold precinct conventions the Saturday before the first primary in July and the county convention the Saturday after; change pri­mary election days from Saturday to Tuesday.

Change the method ot financing the primaries and set one deadline for filing for a place on the democratic ballot, rather than three as now provided.

oner identified the two divisions as the 118th and 119th of the 40th corps. Each regiment, the prison­er said, was composed of one North Korean and three Chinese battal­ions.

Both divisions, the Chinese pris­oner said, are well armed.

Maj. Gen. Jae Heung Yu, South Korean Second Corps commander, speculated the Chinese Commun­ists might send forces across the Yalu to try to hold a huge Japan­ese built electrical generator at Supung. That town is 52 miles southwest of Chosan, border point captured by South Korean troops.

“If we get that (generator) Manchuria has no electricity,” Gen­eral Jai commented. He added the Chinese Communists might want the United Nations General Assem­bly to decide the disposition of the Supung generator.

Republic of Korea (ROK) Gen. Paik Sun Yup, commanding a divis­ion in the battle area north of Pyongyang, was quoted by a U.S. First Corps spokesman as saying three regiments of Reds attacking his troops were Chinese Commun­ists. The fighting was fierce.

There has been no official con­firmation from any high Allied source that Chinese Reds are in the attacking forces. It is pos­sible Chinese Communists joined the North Korean forces last spring when an estimated 80,000 Manchurian trained North Kore­ans crossed back into Korea to fight the South Koreans.

A powerful force of 50,000 Al­lied troops, including the U. S. First Marine Division, the U.S. Army Seventh Infantry Division and ROK forces poured ashore on the east coast at Wonsan.

The U.S. First Cavalry Division was reported by AP Correspondent Swinton as rushing by ship to bol­ster other Allied lines.

Cadet Eleven Holds Edge Over Bruins

By Frank N. ManitzasBattalion Sports Editor

A keyed up Baylor eleven will be the Aggies second con­ference opponent of the season tomorrow afternoon at Bay­lor’s new stadium with gametime being at 2. The Aggies will be trying for their first win over the Wacoans since 1947.

What seems to have made the big difference during the week that has brought the Cadets down from a two to three touchdown favorite to anly a few points were the few “pranks” which have occurred during the week and the fact that Baylor’s homecoming is helping the team’s spirit con­siderably.

The Bruins are more confident entering this game against the Cadets than they have been all season. Coach George Sauer has said the Bruins are in the best physical and mental condition of the season.

Aggie Head Football Coach Harry Stiteler said that the■ "FBeai's have a rough team and it

will be a battle all the way. One of the few factors which gives the 13th team in a nation a boost is the fact that they will start a game with every member of the team ready to go.

Guard W. T. Rush returns to the lineup after having sat out two games with a bad knee, and Left Halfback Charley Royalty may play in his first game since the VMI tilt.

ie Cowboys Set Plans Meet Tuesday Night

Final plans for the 29th An­nual Aggie Rodeo will be made a,t a meeting of the Saddle and Sirloin Club Tues­day, Oct. 31 in the Animal In­dustries Lecture Room, according to Doug Wythe, president of the club.

Members of the International Livestock Judging Team will also make a report on their trip to Kansas City.

The all-Aggie Rodeo will be held in the new rodeo arena West of the railroad tracks Nov. 3-4. The new 225 foot long and 135 foot wide arena will be completed in time for the rodeo, according to members of the Saddle and Sir­loin Club, sponsors of the rodeo and builders of the new arena.

Only A&M students will partici­pate in the first rodeo of the year.

Funds from this rodeo will be used to send stock judging, wool judging, and meat judging teams to intercollegiate contests at Fort Worth, Kansas City, and Oklahoma.

juniors Elect Senate ‘Sitters’

“Dick” Ingels, “Doggy” Dalston, and Bobby Dunn were elected junior represen­tatives to the Student Senate last night. Of the votes cast by the class, 283 were received by Ingels, 201 by Dalston, and 186 by Dunn.

Having the largest number of votes when the balloting ended, the trio defeated other run-off can­didates Ted Stevens, Thurmond Munson, “Buddy” Burch, and Eric Carlson. The seven men were se­lected to the runoff positions by a previous ballot. They received 173, 158, 119, and 114 votes re­spectively.

The representatives will function as non-voting members of the Sen­ate, serving only as the official voice of the Junior Class on Sen­ate matters.

Members of the election commit­tee appointed to that position by Class President Harold Chandler were Ken Wiggins, Gus Clements, and Bob Chapman.

Bear Newman Club Plans Open House

The Newman Club of Baylor University will hold an open house at the Knights of Columbus Hal! in Waco in honor of the A&M New­man Club following the A&M-Bay- lor football game Saturday, an­nounced Carol Rogers, correspond­ing secretary of the Baylor New­man Club.

The open house, which lasts un­til 7 p. m. Saturday evening, is for all Catholic Aggies as well as the Newman Club members.

Gardemal to StartDick Gardemal is the Aggies top

choice to start in the man-under slot, but the Cadets have great depth in this position with Delmer Sikes, Ray Graves and Darrow Hooper backing up Gardemal.

A&M’s four quarterbacks have completed nine touchdown passes, and have directed the Aggies to score the greatest number of points for a major college, 204.

Chances are that if the Cadets are to score against the Bears they will have to use their mighty rush­ing game which has placed them ninth nationally with 1416 yards in 272 carries, an average of 283.2 yards for game.

Pass Defense GreatBaylor’s pass defense is ranked

third in the nation, having allowed an average of only 55.6 yards for game, and the Bears also boast the fifth best punter in the nation with

j Larry Isbell toeing the pigskin.At the offensive end positions

will be Andy Hillhouse and Charley Hodge. Hodge has caught three touchdown passes while of the ten passes which Hillhouse has caught, five have been for touchdowns. He has a third place tie among the high scorers in the conference.

Dwayne Tucker and Sam Moses seem to be the Cadets top choice for the tackle position with Russ Hudeck alternating considerably on offense and defense. Two sopho­mores, Alvin Langford and Jack Little, have also played a great deal at this position and will play some tomorrow.

Greiner Leads GuardsA letterman for three years,

Max Greiner leads the guards into battle. Carl Mol berg, Marshall Rush, Mickey Spencer, and W. T. Rush also listed to play.

Starting offensive center is Hugh Meyer, and he is replaced on de­fense by Bob Bates.

Defensive ends include Dorbandt Bai'ton, Clinton Gwin, and Carl Hill with Hillhouse seeing double duty most of the time.

Great Offensive BackfieldThe greatest offensive backfield

in the conference which has a trio of Billy Tidwell, Glenn Lippman, and Bruisin’ Bob Smith working with one of four quarterbacks—• Sikes, Gardemal, Graves, and Hoop­er—has rolled up a total of 1950 yards for the year of 1950 and will be starting on offense Saturday.

Smith is the greatest contributor on the ground angle having a total of 593 yards in 100 carries.

The defensive backfield includes Tidwell, Yale Lary, and Lippman, with Jimmy Flowers helping Bates in the linebacker positions.

YMCA Cabinet Plans Daily Coffee Session

The YMCA cabinet is sponsoring a Coffee Hour in the south lounge of the “Y” each morning from 9:30 til 10:30 a. m. according to Don Hinton, “Y” cabinet member.

Anyone with all or any part of that time off, is welcome to come in and “grab a cup and run or stay as long as you want and talk,” Hin­ton said.
