[inker Tells Tlip, College Minister of Prairie View A&M College, before the

| YMCA Cabinet last evening.I Dr. Lee, accompanied by several students from Prairie View, were guests of the Cabinet and present­ed a program of several religious songs and Dr. Lee’s talk.

Speaking on the "Antidotes for Ridicule" Dr. Lee listed four ef­fective "reagents for ridicule.” He chose a “sense of committ­ment as the first." “Committing oneself to a cause and knowing that cause is right by earnest conviction is necessary in any serious undertaking," Dr. Lee reauifkad. ■ I L

"We must consider the source from which the ridicule.,comes, and judge both the ridicule and the source accordingly. Ij remember When visiting an insane asylum a naked man laughed at us for wear­ing clothes, and we considered (he source."

“Have a sense of values of your own that have proven them­selves socially sound," continued Dr. Lee.Concluding he said, "You must

always realize that the crowd is a coward and the people ih tho crowd who jeer will throw stones and hide their hands.";

Dr. Lee emphasized the import- once of firm convictions when un­dertaking any of life’s enterprises "for always along the way there Will be those who Will ridicule," hp said. - 1 V

The YMCA Cabinet and their guests ate supper in the YMCA Cabinet Room prior to the even­ing’s program. J J

Later the yearbook off their combined Ideas to American Beauty Cover Company where their staffs designed var­ious layouts and color schemes for the cover. During the Dallas Corps trip Earl Rose, Truman Martin and Marak met in the offices of the cjiver Company and selected thb type of grain and color, of leather for the cover. The group then de­cided on the final layout. /

Weeks afterward the company sent down the completed layout with "Longhorn" lettered in large block print. When the change of the yearbook’s name, the staff 8?nt back to the com­pany the new name and a request for a new type lettering for it.The company returned its let­

terhead plan for “Aggieland" in large block print which did not achieve what the staff wanted. They took "Aggieland" to Cullen ih Bryan and he then proceeded to devise the present script.

The upper portion of the cover is smooth gray leather. The script is brown with a black outline. The bottom of the cover is brown lea­ther and of a coarser grain than the top portion.

well on her way to stardom.y ^Billy Farrell, a 19-year-old

sensation, was singing in s Buf­falo night club when Hope dis­covered him and put him in the show. He made his professional dehut only a year and a half ago, and his radio debut was mode with the Hope ahow this season.

Hy Avcrback, who was known ax "Tokyo Mosc" in the last war, studied Shskespeuroan drama. Hu k now announcer and chief foil forHop#. Formerly ha parried gap a with Jock Carson, Jack Pssr, Bob Burns, and Sweeney and March.

Irene Ryan plays the vocal coach of Doris Day on the show. She is a veteran of 20 years in show business, beginning at 13 as a chorus girl, ingenue, and singing comedienne with a travel­ing show. She later formed her own vaudeville show, appearing in New York. In 1934 she went on the air on the Goodrich show and made famous the phrase, "Cigars, cigar­ettes, NUTS!” Hope signed her up after she had made one guest ap­pearance on his show.

Les Brown, who wrote “Senti­mental Journey" and sold over a million copies of it, is one of the consistent holders of the number one spot in the hearts of polls among band fans. He first studied the piano, but later switched over to the saxaphone. The nucleus of his present band was formed after his college days at the Conserva­tory of Music in Ithaca, N. Y. and Duke University. A juke box fav­orite, Brown records for Columbia.

George and AI Titan, the tumb­lers, are on their second tour with Hope. On the first several months ago, they met with great reception for their feats. Both are mostly muscle, and provide a very good act.And then there’s Bob Hope him­

self. He has been tops on the air, screen, and stage for years. Born m England, Hope has adopted Cleveland as his home town, and owns one-sixth of the Indians. He has received the Legion of Merit for his entertainment of troops in the war, when he traveled one mil­lion miles. Hope is the only living •entertainer in the Smithsonian In­stitute’s Hall of Fame.

The operator of the projector, Mack Weaver, senior ME major from Walton Hall, attempted to extinguish the blaze, but was un­successful. In spite of the intense heat and dense smoke caused by the burning film, he fought the flames until the fire department arrived.

An overflow crowd of 25 stu­dents had jammed into Guion to witness the final showing of the technicolor masterpiece became a- ware of the miniature holocast when the actors on the screen be­came entangled in the shadows of smoke /projected from the booth.

Several patrons who had seen the movie volunteered tb; tell Puddy, who was in the rqar of the theater. When he was noti­fied, Puddy dashed to the booth and there saw the fire which Weaver was trying to bring un­der control.A hurried call to the fire de­

April 14 Last Day To Register For Graduate Exam

The last day for registering for the spring Graduate Record Ex­amination is April 14, according to Dr. W. A. Vsrvel of ths Educa­tion and Psychology Department.

The examination will be given on the afternoons of May 2 and 3. Students planning to take the tests should register in Room 102 of the Academic Building before noon April 14, Varvel said.

A number of the largest gradu­ate schools in the nation require applicants for admission to sub­mit scores on this test as a sup­plement to their undergraduate transcripts. However, A&M does not require the Graduate Record Examination asw basis for admis­sion to graduate work.

The examination measures know­ledge in the principal subjects of a general education as well as in the student’s major field of special­ization, Varvel added.
