On Splitting the Chest Tonight . . .Tonight Student Senators will, among

cither thlngn, decide how the Campua Chdat money raised in this year's cam- , piaign will be spent. | ,

The original $4,000 Chest goal fell far short of its mark, but the total collections (^id redeb the $2,000 mark. That amount Will not permit as ambitious a program as the. Senate and the Chegt committeeman . originally planned.

But the sum is sufficient to begin the t 12th Man Scholarship and to contribute to the World Students Service Fund. Beth these Funds were included in the Cam­pus Oiest campaign and should be given top consideration for the bulk of money collected through the Campus Chest Drive.

By starting the 12th Man Scholarship this year, students now enrolled at A&M will have the satisfaction of having start­ed a noble endeavor here—that of the student body sponsored scholarship to a worthy man. V. >

5 Whatever amount it takes to get the

12th Man Scholarahip atarted rolling, we mudt allocate it. The hucccmm of the schol- arship thla year will insure future suc­cess to that fund and to the whole Campus Chest drive in years to come. ^

For several years now this student body has, through separate donations, giv­en to the World Student Service Fund. This amounts to an Aggie helping a for­eign student who can’t help himself.I’ The Campus Chest this year was an opportunity to continue this noble ges­ture as well a% institute the 12th Man Scholarship. These two movements tied together formed the preponderate amount of money given to the Campus Chest.

Our Chest should keep back a small portion of the total amount collected — perhaps $100—for contingencies that might arise in the future and to finance next year’s Campus Chest campaign.

What is done tonight l^y the Senate will decide how the Aggie student body splits its 1950 Campus Chest. - '

[e Girls: Wolf esses in Co-ed’s ClothingIn scanning the state papers _we ran

across a report -by a psychologist on American college women.

•The psychologist warned that the American college girl is nothing more than a wolf in co-ed’s clothing and that she has a strange tendency to fall in love width two or more mfen at the same time. And what is worse, the psychologist dis­covered, the girls love these two or more meh with equal intensity.' Tills startling data (startling perhaps to the psychologist, but certainly not news tji> most Aggies who remember their see-

“’qml-best races Tor fair maidens' hearts) whs collected from 600 campus;CUtlea in 10 American universities.

These gifls’ dream boy is 20 years old, ''fairly" good looking, and very intelligent.

tall,,well buMt and does not resemble fiis Sweetie’s father, the- questionaires filled out by po-eds revealed,” said the UP stofy. , ' -?

I "The survejtJndicated that American College girls tend to have several love ob­jects in their lives, "‘Ellis (the psycholo-

' gist) said. “They’re hot monogamous in their love feelings. About 25>percent were hi Ibve with two or three males at once at some time in their lives.”' ) f

“But,they tend to view their past laves as infatuations and their present infatua­tions asToves,” his report continued.

“When she has been taught that she’s supposed to have a few or nor'infatuations and only one real, lifetime-lasting love, and when she finds she has had several infatuatuations or loves even before grad­uation, she may get anxiety and gHilt feel­ings from successive, and possible simtii- taneous, amatory involvements,” reads tho_ report psychologist Ellis prepared.

Fourty-four percent of the gilin ques­tioned reported theyj- woro ’fvery much" surprised when It dawned <s»i them they^ had fallen In love, l ive story .concluded.

The combined experienced of the Bat­talion staff agree with the results of psy­chologist Ellis' survey. We also believe most of our readers in all-male A&M will agree, too.

Our hearts reach out for these poor, weak little creatures with their infatua­tions and “amatory involvements”. What can be. said to console them ?

Pity the women? No sir. Pity the poor souls who get caught in these dual affairs and discover there are no prizes for second place, only memories and emp­ty pocketbooks.

In Florida, Pepper Was Out of Reach . ..In Florida earlier this week voters

Chose Congressman George Smathers ov- 0r Senator Calude Pepper for the Demo­cratic nomination to the senatorial post ih next November’s national elections. In preponderately Democratic Florida, SmatheV’s victory this wCek is^ia^feamount to election: ^ J

The issues involved between Smathers md Peppe^ were not clearly defined.

Smathrs declared that he finds “creeping socialism” in much of the Truman pro­gram, but he claims himself to be a “mid­dle-of-the-road liberal.” Pepper plugged the Fair Deal theme right down the line and was one of its most ardent spokes­men in Congress.

Smathers’ election does not portend any great change in the political attitude of the voters of Florida; they have still chosen a liberal.

6Barricade9 A R Warner’s 6The Sea Wqlf

iBy HHUMAN C. GOLLOBBarricade (Warner*) MUrrinx

Dane Clark, Bulk Roman, and Haymond MnsNry (Campun).Were we to] rub the golden «pnce

bar of opr typewriter now and thua summon Hedita, our guardian genie we should iihk only one thing: a job ns Hcript writer for the War-1 ncr Brother*.\ At prenent, that neem* to u* the easiest way to earn our bread and butter. Alt one needa to do , is see a. ,f*w old Warner movies, digest them thoroughly, then mentally regurgitate them, mak­ing only those superficial chan­ges which would deceive ol’ Joe Moviegoer into (kinking the story new. |Take “Barricade,” for instance:

the Campus’ current feature] through which the brothers Warner are vicariously picking the pockety1 of every sucker who plunks down1 forty cents with the idiotic idea that he’s going to get something different for his cash.

If this isn’t x bastardization of Jack London’s “T h e ■ S e a Wolf,” a melodrama of mature proportions which Warners made several years ago, we’ll usher free of charge at the Campus for ] a week.To recapitulate the story of

“The Sea Wolf,” it opens on a foggy,’foreboding night on the Sap Francisco waterfront, at the thni of the century. We are introduced to a couple of characters fleeing the law- John Garfield, who was forced to run away after killing a man in a fight, and Ida Lupinoj, wha has escaped from prison. j

Garfield i]i shanghaied aboarti the ship of j Edward G. Robinson], a fanatical, tjyranical captain whosi

crew la mad* ur. entirely of rene­gade*. Lupine boards a ferry, meets cultured Alexander Knox, and 1* cornered by the cop*. Before she can be arrested the ferry la rammed. Lunlno and Knox ara fish­ed out of the water by Robinson, and along with Garfield, become virtually hia prisoners.

li nil-dead, Luplno is saved hy a transfuaiod from Garfield, ad­ministered by Knox wit' sistancc of Gene Lockhe en ship’s doctor who wags once « great physician.

Garfield, a cocky, hot . lad defies Robinson from the start, and gets slapped down for his impertinence. Knox, whom we learn is a writer, is working as helper to the cook, Barry Fitzgerald, a viperous, 'treach­erous little man with a silly giggle.

Robinson takes a strange liking to Knox, chiefly because Knox knows him for what he is—a pow­er-mad gent with an inferiority complex which he tries toj cover up with sheer brutality, and soul racking headaches, which he passes off as nothing.

Meanwhile, Lupine recovers and is brought on deck by Lockhart, whose confidence has been restored by his success with the former. In response to Lockhart’s Request that be he called “Doctor,” Robin­son ridicules him in front -of the crew. Lockhart • then dashes to
