Tomorrow at the Cotton Bowl
the Methodists and the Baptists
will be immersed in the beginning
of the fifth and favorite season—
football.
King Football's first blow is expected to hit the Dallas area, namely
Cotton Bowl, about 8 p.m.
Saturday. Some 50,000 spectators,
along with cleated squads from
SMU and Wake Forest, will be on
fend to make the first day a gala
occasion.
The upset-miniled North Carolinans who arrive today have no
respect for the Ponies' two-year
reign over their- rugged Southwest
conference foes.
The Fair Park skirmish, one of
the nation's top intersectional head
liners, looms as an offensive battle.
Coach Matty Bell's dream backfield will find rugged competition
in Wake Forest's polished T-
machine. Head mentor Peahead
Walker has his power backs re­
turning from last year's Delta
Bowl eleven and has found his
much-needed speed and elusiveness
in a quartet of sophomore standouts.

A look at' the statistics of Sat­
urday's game.in which the Caro­
linians trampled over Duquesne
shows that the 22 to 7 score does
not tell the true strength of Wake

Peruna the Fifth will welcome
her loyal Mustang followers Friday
night on the steps of McFarlin
auditorium.
The tiny blacl: newcomer from
the Culwell ranch will take part
in the large pep rally scheduled
for Friday at 7 p.m.
"This is our first really big pep
rally of the football season. In
addition to Peruna the Mustang
band will be there to play old and
new numbers. There will be two
new songs and five new yells that
should get up a lot of-enthusiasm.
These songs and yells have been
carefully worked out by the band
and cheerl.uders and we hope
the students like them," stated
Head Cheerleader Irving King.
The band will present several
new swing numbers in addition to
the melodies well-lcnown to Mus­
tang rooters, King said.
Frank Malone, Student Union
director, will give a short talk on
morale of the student body in re­

New Activity Card
Fondren Science HaJI Only Smaller/Lighter;
One All Air-Cooled in U S Less Expensive
When Fondren science hall is This kind of building requires
completed, it will probably be the
only completely air-conditioned
science building in the United
States.
Although others have air-condiyoned lecture halls, most lab­
oratories are ventilated by ex­
haust fans.
Science buildings and laboratories
are much more difficult to air
condition than ordinary structures,
according to Architect Mark Lemmon.
In a building used for ordinary
business, some of the air supply
can be re-circulated through the
air-conditioning machines. In a
science building laboratory fumes
•would be spread by the used air.

more raw air, therefore to circu­
late air in the system faster than
ordinarily to draw off fumes,
extra-large exhaust and intake air
vents are built into*the building's
architecture. The clock tower is
really a hugh air intake, and seem­
ingly useless chimney are exhaust
and intake vents.
The air-conditioning system in
Fondren science hall is only a part
of a larger system serving the
whole university campus, however.
Rather than spoil the appearance
of the buildings with cooling
towers, the university built a large
central system to serve all struc­
tures.
From one central cooling tower,
chilled water can be pumped
through, insulated pipes to every
air-conditioned building on the
campus.'
Unaffiliated students had their
first chance to become acquainted
with members of the Independent
Students association at the annual
Indee Round-up, Sept. 16.
About 350 students watched
magician Mark Wilson and his
assistant perform musical novelties
and magic tricks in the lounge of
the Union building. Wilson is magi­
cian for the Morton Potato Chip
co. in Dallas. Also featured on the
program were singers Gay Harris
and Robert Haley. Charles ^sbaugl^
was in charge of the program.
Chaperones for the Round-up
were Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Cheatum
and Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Barr.
Bushong in Minstrel Show
George Bushong, executive sec
retary of the SMU Alumni associa
tion, is musical director of the
annual Park Cities Lions' club min­
strel show in McFarlin auditorium
Sept. 28-29-30. Bushong is sched­

Rooter's Caps
New Style for
Football Fans
Rooter's cstps, latest fashion item
for Mustang supporters, cropped
out in campus groups this week.
. The red and blue toppers, with
visors about as long as Coach Matty
Bell's crying towel, may be pur­
chased at the Book store. Purchase
price is one dollar.
Purpose of the cap is to give all
Pony followers the "Mustang look"
at the games this fall. Mason
Rothenborg of the cheerleading
corp recommended the caps to the
student council. As a result, the
hunter's style headpiece, fronted
by a monogrammed M, was chosen.
Five hundred have been sold, ac. cording to Assistant Book Store
Manager Tom Chisholm. About 800
more are on hand.
For the late buyer, caps will be
on sale at the Cotton Bowl en­
trances Saturday night, Chisholm
said.

The new-type activity cards is­
sued this ^eek were designed by
the Laughead photographers and
SMU officials after experimenting
three years, announced W. M.
Wright, SMU business office.
"Laughead developed this new
type and less expensive card to be
produced with less handling. As the
cards and pictures are made al­
together, cards are made quicker."
Engineers to Use
Lab Deposit Slips
For First Games
Dr. GEORGE BAKER

Enrollment Drops
(Continued from Page J)
Engineers may present their
validated engineering lab deposit
slips instead of an activity card
to get in to the Wake Forest game
Saturday night and the Missouri
game next weekend if they do not
already have an activity card, ac­
cording to Council President Bob
Gibson.
Lab deposit slips for engineers
can be validated for $2.00 in the
business office. Engineers are re­
quired to buy an activity card. If
they do not have one now, the
validated lab slips will "suffice for
admittance to the first two foot­
ball games.
Gibson requested that engineer­
ing co-op students who start Oct.
3 have their activity cards made
immediately. Pictures will be taken
from 1 to 3 p.m. on Fridays in the
McFarlin auditorium basement.
The school of music has enrolled
180 students. There were 213 music
students in 1948.
The school of theology and the
school of engineers are also pre­
dicted to show drops in registra­
tion. There were 784 engineers
and 213 theologs enrolled last fall.
A 35 per cent drop is expected
in the graduate school, which shows
an enrollment of 216 to date.
Enrollment may go as high as
5,700, according to Nystrom, if a
predicted 200 special students
register.
Vet Decline.
SMU was fortunate in predict­
ing the decline in veteran registra­
tion this y^ar, Nystrom said. Na­
tional statistics had shown that
1949 would be the peak year, and
few schools were as well prepared
for the decline as SMU was.
Nystrom foresees another peak
in college enrollments from 1961
to 1965 when the current influx
of "war babies" graduate from
high schools.
The current registration figures
were taken from the latest records
The Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., bet­ as of Sept. 20 at 8:40 a.m.

dent of .Y.M.C.A. The meeting pre­
ceded the traditional All Church
night activities.
Y Meeting Held
Thursday Night
A series of tri-weekly chapel
services which will continue
through the school year will begin
Tuesday, Sept. 27, according to
Dr. George C. Baker, chaplain of
the university. The services will
be held every Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday from 5 to 5:30 p.m.
in Fondren Lecture hall.
The Tuesday service will be con­
ducted by Dr. Baker. Dr. Warren
W. Sweet, professor of church his-;
tory, will have charge of the chapel
service Wednesday. Dr. W. A. Criswell, pastor of the First Baptist
church, will conduct the service
Thursday.
(
The Chapel Choir, conducted by,
Bernhardt Tiede, will participate
in the services.
Formerly the minister of Laurel
Heights Methodist church, San
Antonio, Dr. Baker was appointed
chaplain of the university June 1.
His duties at the University began
with the present term.
In addition to directing the chapel
services, Dr. Baker will have charge
of convocations to be held from
time to time during the year. He
will also act as coordinator of
S.C.R.A. activities.
"I wish to help the students in
every way possible," Dr. Baker
stated. "I want my home at 2940
Daniels street to be a home away
from home for all S.M.U. students."Dr. Baker's office is located in
the M.S.M. offices in the post
office building.

During the past year, the law
school's Legal Aid clinic under the
supervision of Prof. Wilmer Masterson has handled 146 cases,
f The clinic is described by Masterson as an internships where case­
book theories come to life.
All cases handled by the Legal
Aid clinic must be charity cases

a case goes to court they prepare

The Legal Aid clinic started in
April, 1948, with five staff mem­

success of the project and the abil­

Watch Where You
Park That Car!
Have you ever had your shoe sucked off by mud ?
Or hava. you ever stepped off a sidewalk to let a
pretty girl pass only to find that half of Dallas
county has stuck to your feet and that,you are
forced to carry it with you to the third floor of
Fondren? There is nothing amusing about the
situation, and it is even more maddening when the
cause is not a pretty girl but an automobile parked
so that it blocks the sidewalk.
However^ mud on the shoe is only a temporary
inconvenience—a few hours on Saturday spent in
industrious use of a cold chisel will eliminate the
ejseess weight. A more lasting inconvenience,
though, would be the loss of Atkins Hall.
The blocking of fire lanes by careless drivers
could become a fatal hazard. The driver of one of
the automobiles pictured on this page may have
said to himself that nothing could possibly happen
in the short time it would take him to down a coke
in the Student Union. But fires are unpredictable
and may just as easily occur in a short time as in
a long one.
? That same driver probably planced at the sign
by which he parked, "Reserved -Parking for Dis­
abled Veterans.'' If he was a vetertm himself he
possibly rationalized to himself along the lines of
'Well, I spent a week in the hospital at Fort Bliss,
didn't I?" That driver parked without thinking
that there are only three parking areas over the
entire campus that have been marked off for dis­
abled veterans. Surely the main student body can
forego the use of these spaces.
That same driver probably glanced at the sign
shown on this page did not think. They have
ignored the bounds of good manners toward their
fellow students and of safety to the buildings
within which they live and work.
Let us hope that they, as bad citizens of the
campus, are in the minority; and more, may that
v.
thoughtless minority be completely eliminated.

'Trade Tracks to Trap

In the tradition established by its predecessor,
the Student Council plans to start the year off with
an investigation. This time, however, the student
body will unite solidly behind them.
..
^ Tired of . ptomaine and cockroaches, the Council
expects to establish a fair trade committee, "Trade

Here" .and the California "Fair Bear" committees.
• The primary purpose of this committee will be to
; check on the eating places most often frequented
by students and make sure that these places mainItaln certain standards of cleanliness. It is planned
to have the committee work in cooperation with
the health officials of Dallas, city and county, and
University and Highland Park.
Students have long felt the need for such a group
and its incorporation will be welcomed. Local
restauranteurs are going to find that students are
a people, too and cannot be fooled by fancy chrome
^trimming and pink neon lights. Council officials
indicate that they mea» business. Once they have
started there will be no turning back and few
establishments will be overlooked.
Of course, restaurant owners who take some
pride in their businesses and keep their kitchens
and dining rooms clean have nothing to fear. They
will welcome investigation with pride because they
know that they have nothing to conceal. We hope
that these are in the majority. But the others, who
•serve infectious food in filthy surroundings, can
expect to feel the full weight of an angry student
body through their elected officers. You can be
sure that the negligent proprietors will set up the
loudest cries of pain.
The Council should have no axes to grind. Their
- investigations must be strictly impartial. Accordting to preliminary plans the first results will be
announced after several weeks, and "Trade Track"
/ certificates issued to those eating places worthy
; of the credit. Students will be urged to patronize
only the places bearing the "Trade Track" sign.
f Proposed plans call for continued operation of the

The curtain has been up over a week now-on the
greatest show on earth. And for my money the
show has been good so far.
'
The sh^v I'm talking about is this seething
hilltop of ours, a campus that has changed so much'
in three months that many old old students are
finding difficulty in adjusting to it. The most
obvious change is the addition of real, live women
to the campus. Gad, but it's nice to see something
besides veterans strolling past the office.
The new freshmen seem like a brainy crew, most
of them just out of high school and some of them
still possessing an amazing amount of that stuff
called ambition. If these freshmen can combine
this ambition .with the adult atmosphere created
by veterans, this ol' campus will have rolled another
log in its backwoods.
I'm hoping that these ambitious freshmen, in
their desire to be marveled at, do not revive intense
class distinctions, typical of most colleges before
the war.
Hazing, the final result, seems like pretty glam­
orous work until you've crippled some kid for life
with a paddle. That is a gloomy thought, but as
one who still remembers how to grab a tight
crouch, I appreciate it, and hope that today's fresh­
men are mature enough to avoid the impulse to
"rule" someone, namely next year's freshmen.
Now dominating the greatest show on earth is
football, student government and "new-look" fresh­
men. The 5th Column, like last year's, plans to
review this show in its usual brotherly fashion.
The column today is sort of testing out a sun­
burned war whoop. By January may the best man
win, and God save the king.

OTHER PAPERS SAY
(From the Battalion at Texas A&M
college.)
Rumors are the products of little
minds and these little minds have
a twisted sense of truth and no
responsibility of judgment. v
People who traffic in rumors
do so either because of malicious
intent or because they derive some
sort of perverted pleasure in listen­
ing to and then passing on a story
that is a small per cent of truth
and a large quantity of distorted
ideas.
Monday evening at precisely 9:12
an eight-year-old boy dashed into
the street in front of Aggieland
Inn. Before he •frent into the street
he waited until a southbound car
passed and entered the street. Be- ,
fore he knew it he'd been hit by
a slow moving northbound car.
The boy was slightly injured; he
complained of pains in his stomach.
His parents, who were in Sbisa
Hall at the time, rushed him into
a hospital in Br^an. The next
morning after c&reful examination
he was discharged from the hos­
pital.
But the rumor that circulated
about the accident! "Say, did you
hear about the kid who got hit in
front of the Aggieland Inn?"
someone asked the next morning.
"He got hit and laid out in the
street a long time before an ambu­
lance from Bryan picked him up.
Somebody tried to get the College
hospital to help him, but they said
they couldn't because he wasn't a
student." A few more details were
given together with the rumor tell­
er's opinion that the College hos­
pital was brutally cruel in denying
treatment to a dying patient.
The actual truth is that the Col­
lege hospital will handle emergency
cases regardless of whether the
injured person is a student or not.
The treatment rendered will be
first-aid so that the injured per­
son can be taken into town* for
further hospitalization and treat­
ment.,. .
.• .
.> •. '
The question asked the hospital
the other evening was, "Do you
treat people who aren't students."
No mention was made of an emerg­
ency.
Of course, the answer was no.
In this case there was no emerg­
ency or serious injury; the boy's
parents carried him into town in
their car.- An ambulance was on
the scene of the accident about ten
minutes after the accident occurred,
but the boy had already been taken
into Bryan.
Whoever manufactured the rumor
had a basis of truth, but they sure
made a lot bigger story out of it
than the facts merited; If such
stories didn't undermine the stu­
dents confidence in their hospital,
these stories might pass unnoticed.
A&M, like the Army, is a place
where rumors always find sympa­
thetic -listeners. Tall tales about the
mess hall, laundry, and hospital
will be believed by most unthinking
students without a second thought
of inquiring into the truth. The
wild story is too good to be
doubted.
The next tirtie some rumor is
heard, think a minute, and make a
few phone calls to check the valid­
ity of the yarn spun by the story
teller. It will be surprising how
little truth is involved- in the tale
which makes a whale of a good
shaggy dog story.
MAC SAYS:
SU Game Room
No Gambling Hall
By CORWIN McPHERSON
In case you may not. have heard about the gam­
bling in the Student Union this summer, let a few
words be said concerning it. The game room was
closed down for the duration of the summer.
Enough said.
Many people like to gamble, just as many like
to read boks, or take a nip behind a closet door.
In1 short, most of us backsliders have some little
quirk in which we will indulge, regardless of what
people try to get us to do. No lecture on morality
is likely to change this.
|
Regardless of a weakness, however, there ar«j
certain factors to be considered, concerning the
effect on others. One of these is the location in
which the weakness is committed. That is the point
of this discussion.
»
The game roof of the Union was placed there for
the benefit of any and all students who wanted
to go there and indulge in a short game of hearts,
bridge or the like. When a few extremely selfish
individuals try to usurp this privilege, and make
the room a second-rate dive, the authorities have
but one alternative. That is to close up shop. This
has been done once.
•
Now there are ugly rumors floating about the
campus that such-and-such has been seen paying
off. so-and-so after a friendly little game of five-'
- card stud. It is hardly necessary to point out that
once someone in authority gets concrete evidence
of such goings-on, drastic action is bound to follow.
Something like closing the game room permanently.
If the selfish few, of which there are some in every
crowd, insist on violating the spirit and letter of
the law, look for the game room to be closed
indefinitely.

No Injunction From Humble
Received by SMU Officials
No injunction has been served
jpon an SMU official restraining
Ithe university from drilling two
|extra wells in the East Texas
field, according to Eugene B. Hawk,
dean of theology.
Humble Oil company requested
fan injunction by the 53rd district
Icourt in Austin Sept. 15 to regstrain SMU from drilling the wells,
Ifor which the Railroad commission
Ihas granted permission. These
fwells are beyond the usual amount
^specified by the statewide spacing
frule.
Humble asserts that the pro­
posed wells would enable SMU to
^ drain large quantities of oil from
adjacent leases. According to the
<suit there are 23 wells belonging to
fSMU in this field. Dean Hawk
.stated that SMU has 45 or 47
1:
wells in the East Texas field.
Humble requested the court to
enjoin the university from drilling
and to set aside the commission's
ruling permitting the exception.
The suit named as defendants
J. J: Perkins, the Railroad com­
mission, and SMU. • Perkins, consultant on drilling
for SMU, advised the school to
drill the two wells.
The school receives $35,000 from
wells in the field. Part of the land
was given to the school of theology
by Perkins. The rest was bought by
the school as an investment for
endowment funds. All the money
goes to the school of theology. Part
of the money pays for the theology
quadrangle, and the rest is depos­
ited in the theology endowment
fund.
Specialist Reveals Plans

Engaged in February to draw
preliminary plans Michael Hare, an
architect specializing in designing
student union buildings, has been
working with Frank H. Malone Jr.,
director and the union staff and

From these surveys, they have
determined the basic needs of the
union. On the basis of these needs,
Hare has prepared preliminary
plans. The plans, which have al­

KSMU Signs Off Choral Union Organized
For Indefinite Time In Consolidation Move
Lack of transmission lines will
silence the voice of Mustangland,
KSMU, for an indefinite time, ac­
cording to John Renshaw, general
manager of the radio station.
Transmission lines won't be
available until December, Renshaw
said. During the summer, workmen
removed carrier lines, used by
KSMU, while installing air condi­
tioning and other piping. These
lines have not been replaced.
Meanwhile, there is little radio
activity at radio headquarters atop
Dallas hall. Renshaw pointed out
that student engineers are needed
to experiment on other means of
transmission.
The University Broadcasting
Guild is also affected by this op­
erational bottleneck. However, this
unit will be reorganized when it is
evident that KSMU is able to
broadcast, Renshaw added.

went into the Student Union fund.
Later when the university, took
over the book store from a private
concessionaire, all profits from that
source were diverted to the union
fund. Since the present, temporary
union was established in 1947,
profits from it have been added to
the fund.
Including money from these
sources and money pledged during
a drive in 1945, the union fund now
contains about one-half million dol­
lars, according to Dean Willis Tate.
Some of the pledges are still out­
standing, however.

According to Bob Considine, International News Service
expert, the mythical national championship will be decided
in the Cotton Bowl Dec. 3 when unbeaten SMU and unbeaten
Notre Dame clash. (The unbeaten's are his.)

REQUIRED READING
After last year's national outbreak of publicity over the
Ponies we thought we'd seen it all. Now comes the Saturday
Evening Post and Collier's with more articles featuring SMU.
Francis Wallace in Collier's names Doalc Walker as his
"back of the year" and goes a step further to choose Matty
Bell as "coach of the year." He also says SMU will play
Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl after finishing first in the con­
ference and sixth nationally.
The September 24 issue of the Post features an article
entitled "Moanin' Matty," written by Frank Tolbert, Dallas
News staffer.
In last week's Post, Fred Russell names SMU to finish
seventh in the nation, a notch below Rice, whom he names
to dethrone the Mustangs as conference champs. He also
names Doak as "back of the year."

The Steers and Frogs came
through initial engagements with
only a few bruises and merit
badges for highly-creditable tri­
umphs over Texas Tech and
Kansas, but the Aggieland Farm­
ers came out with an "E" for effort
and a "Purple Heart" as a result
of severe wounds inflicted by a
Villanova specie of Wildcat.
Ags, Ponies Named
The Ags should save a little face
against Border conference cousin
Tech ..this ..week, ..however. ..The
Cadets have reportedly been under
treatment all week for a bad .case
of fumbleitis, and, recovered,
should manage to nose out the
Raiders, say about 14 to 6..
Our own Ponies have as firstnighter guests at the Cotton Bowl
a group of Carolina clergymen,
but from what we hear reverence
is about the only thing not in­
cluded in Wake Forest plans for
grid opponents this season. We
don't mean to preach, but the
Deacs have no wing-and-prayer
outfit . . . but neither does Matty
Bell. SMU 27, Wake Forest 14.
Owls, Clemson Close
At Houston, Rice opens with an­
other top-drawer eleven, Clemson,
Southern conference crown-holder.
The brawl should be the night's
closest, but assuming that the
Flock is not overrated, Rice 14,
Clemson 13.
Fort Worth fans get their first
look at the Froggies in full-dress

wow with Oklahoma. The trip to
Philadelphia should be more ex­
hausting to the Longhorns than
their tilt with Temple in the Qua­
ker City, Texas 34, Temple 0.
Hogs, Bears Favored
In a night game at Waco, Baylor
takes on rugged opposition in
South Carolina. The Gamecocks
are rated as one of the better teams
in the South, but Coach Bob Wood­

game at Baylor. He shouldn't lose

we'll wallow with the Hogs, 19 to

Two Polls Name
Ponies to Repeat
SMU was picked to repeat as
Southwest conference titlist in two
polls last week.
In the annual statewide polls of
news and radio men by the TCU
News Service, SMU was picked to
finish first by 55 of 105 ballots.
Runners-up were the Rice Owls
with 23 first-place nominations.
SMU was the only team not to re­
ceive a vote for last place.
The other poll taken by the TCU
Skiff, deadlocked Rice and SMU
for first with 28 xk points out of
a possible 42. Sports editors from
the conference schools participated
in this one.
:
In the driver's seat will be head
coach Madison "Matty" Bell, who
is taking his 15th turn, behind the
wheel. Bell's entries have been first
across the finish line 150 times dur­
ing his career, 82 times in the rear
and 16 times in dead heats.
Since 1935, when he guided Ms
first championship team to the
Rose Bowl, "Moaning Matty's"
Mustang machines have chugged to
41 wins, 22 losses and 3 ties in
conference play.
Assistant coach, H. N. "Rusty"
Russell, the present throttle man
for coach Bell's outfits, has guided ,
football combines at Granger,
Temple, Masonic Home and High­
land Park high schools. His. '

records.

coach J. McAdoo Keaton. He has
been in football business since 1924
when he started at San Marcos
academy. Later, under Coach
Keaton the Howard Payne Yellow
Jackets won six Texas conference
championships in seven years. In
1945, he joined the Mustang grid
staff.
Herman Cowley will also give tha<
Mustang entry driving power this
season. After starring at North
Texas State college, he developed
championship elevens at Sunset
high in Dallas. Cowley came to
SMU in 1947 as assistant coach
