EDITORIAL COMMENT The Supreme Being Oath

Legislation proposed in Austin recently that would require state sup; liege instructors to sign an oath proclaiming their belief in a Supreme Being has apparently been smothered by more demanding legisla- tive matters.

The comment stirring bill probably will receive few if the measure is presented formally to Texas

solons. But the measure does point up one serious weakness,

the Skiff believes, in Article I. Section 4 of the Texas Con- stitution which states:

"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualifi- (atifm for any office or public trust in this state, nor can anyone be excluded from holding office on account of religious beliefs provided he acknowledges the existence of a Supreme Being "

This article, which on the one hand promises that no religious test shall ever be required and on the other hand stipulates that one must acknowledge the existence of God, seemingly contradicts itself.

The bill, currently shelved by the Legislature due to strong demands for favorable legislation by teachers and other groups, may be forgotten before the law-making body is dismissed in a few weeks.

The Skiff, however, hopes to see the bill discussed by the Austin delegates so that the full meaning of Article 1. Section 4 might be clarified.

Education Express Speeding forward like a crack passenger express

train, the University's accelerated education program will include the offering of the doctor of philosophy degree beginning this fall.

This decision to offer Ph.D. work recently was made by the TCU Board of Trustees. As the University moves into the field of providing advanced education for doc- torates, it is making a major move forward academically.

The trustees' decision culminated a long and careful study regarding advanced work. This in turn will mean the University's national academic standing will jump

■ ■ ral pegs over many sister universities not offering doctorate work.

TCU students will be able to continue their education on the Hill instead of having to attend the University of Texas or some other institution. New professors especial- ly trained for instructing in PhD. work will raise the faculty's already high standing still higher.

Now TCU will be as attractive to student scholars as It has been and is to the state's finest athletes who have kept the University in the national spotlight sports-wise.

President M. E Sadler's longtime dream of doctorate work at TCU soon will become a reality. And doubtless not far behind will come the highly coveted Phi Beta Kappa recognition. The standards of education are being raised each year to rival the finest colleges and universities in the land.

The highest commendations are due Dr. Sadler and lus associates in helping TCI' to a top position in the field of education as well as the sports field. The express of progress is speeding faster; no reason to stop it now.

THE SCORE

In Heat of Battle By PAT BECKHAM

Browsing through Skiffs of bygone days, we came upon some priceless words, recorded for posterity.

As the Great War neared its climax in March, 1945, a Skiff editorial pointed out the hardships of obtaining and value of having a degree.

"The diploma isn't all that comes from this prolonged fever," said the editorial "Unless you are lower than a Jap Aggie, you also will learn lifelong and valuable friend- ships while at TCU."

•

An earlier brightener in '45 told a story present-day Hill residents may have heard first hand.

"Students in Dr. H. R. Mundehenke's 'Applied Eco- nomies' class the other day were studying salaries paid to various famous people as compared with the value of the individual's ability.

"Dr. Mundehenke pointed out that President Roose- velt was paid $75,000 annually, while Mae West received $325,000.

" 'How do you think their abilities compare?' he asked.

"The students pondered the matter. Then Barbara Medford finally answered.

" 'That's according to what you compare':"

•

" 'Lights, lights, lights! All you can see around the campus after 9 p.m. is lights" relates a mid-WWU Skiff quote.

"Everyone agrees—TCU is in danger of losing its standing as 'Texas Courting University' if any more lights are installed on the campus."

•

Again in an editorial, the word comes out:

"The letters TCU have not lost their double meaning 'Texas Courtin' University' still is living up to its name.

"Spring, it seems, comes to TCU in March and stays until February.''

"If you can translate Japanese, your country has nt.J of you," a '44 Skiff ad promised.

"Spring has sprung. The grass is riz. I wonder where the flowers is:"

With those lines of verse, a post-war prof assured his romantic class that, although he didn't wish to disillusion them, two cannot live as cheaply as one!

SW Campus Confidential

nu- ll the dry wastes of Dallas

Hall, the Campus relates, there is a story circulating of a student, in a fit of thirst, leaping from a window in an attempt to reach Hyer Hall and a working water fountain.

This student probably had grown weary of looking in the Dallas Hall "water holes' and seeing only a card saying "No water, thank you."

It is difficult to understand why the writer of these signs wants to "thank" the student for not being able to get a drink. But, who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of the janitors who control the water?

In answer to a recent charge of atheism at SMU made by legis- lators, an SMU professor said, "It is my belief that we don't have any atheists teaching here at SMU. I don't think that I've seen a real live atheist (or an intelligent legislator either, for that matter) this side of the Miss- issippi."

• A&M—

The Aggie newspaper reports that like bailing wire, The Bat- talion can be used for almost anything.

Recently several copies of the paper were used for bases in a squadron softball game. After an hour of taking a beating from the running and sliding players the "Batts" were scattered all over the diamond.

* TEXAS TECH—

"At Rice, the sophomores went 'beatnik,' and invited the rest of the student body to come along,'' the Toreador explains.

"This beatnik kick was the theme of the sophomore dance Saturday night as students gath- ered at the 'Chartreuse Pickle' to indulge in all sorts of activities, from dancing to hearing beatnik poetry recited by two male students.

"Before the event occurred, it was announced that plenty of cushions would be available for floor-lounging, and Leo Bax- ter's orchestra would be available for background music"

if there is a shortage of mump shots in Lubbock, it probably can be traced to Carolyn Symes, La Vantana beauty, and her Al- pha Chi Omega sorority sisters.

Miss Symes complained of a sore jaw in a recent chapter meeting. This quickly was dignosed as an abscessed tooth by her sisters.

However, the next day Miss Symes revealed the "good news ' She had exposed the whole chapter to the mumps.

• ARKANSAS—

"Confusion, closed sections and chaos sum up registration once more and suddenly It's bookstore time The University bookstore is the only non-profit institution in the world—it's amazing how they are able to operate without any money," the Traveler relates.

* TEXAS—

Dr. Keith Young was explain- ing basic historical geology to his Geology 610b class.

"Actually," he said, "it's hard to get this without a lot of math background.

"Nowadays, mathematic under- standing is getting to be impor- tant to everyone," he commented

"Why, I don't even have enough math," he concluded, to understand the new television com- mercials!"

This will be the first time that TCU has prepared a display for the meeting, because this is the first time which the conference has been held in this area in a number of years.

"One of the fundamentals of oil finding is to compare recent sediments with ancient sediments so that the conditions of deposi- tion under which the ancient sediments accumulated may be better understood." I)r Edward Heuer, associate professor of geology, said. Such a comparison is the subject of the display.

It compares the recent sediments of the Mississippi Delta with the ancient sediments of the Bedford Delta of the Mississ- ippi age. The sediments which compose the ancient delta contain valuable deposits of oil and gas which are presently being exploited.

"The display draws a comparl son between the modern delta and the ancient delta to yield (lues that may lead toward the location of other ancient deltas in the geological column that might also contain oil and gas," Heuer added.

Seems the local t havins: quite a time find quarterback and the firs-

was only two da-. There were only twelve men on the squad and each had been _ his chance but nobody could pro- duce.

There was one fellow who could throw the ball pretty . another who could run well and another who couldn't do either with much -kill but did know a little football and could remember the plays.

Still the coach was in a quan- dary There were no practice games and no chances to experi- mtnt

Then one day a «-hort -• little fellow wearing shower shoes, a white T-shirt and levis was brought to the coach fice and although no one believed it then, he filled the bill quite well for a time.

He stood only four fet' and he had arms of a tremen- dous span that hung nearly to his knees and with a receding forehead plus his big shiny teeth behind thick lips, he was a com- ' ical si'^ht to behold.

They arranged a tryout for j him imore as a joke than any-1 thing else) but inside of 15 min-

Smiley's performance that opening night had never been, and probably never will be, dup heated in Texas schoolboy football. He put on the greatest one- man show ever witnessed until midway in the fourth quarter when it happened.

Smiley had just taken a breather after scoring his twelfth touchdown when there was a ter- rible crash near the railroad tracks to the north of the field Smiley stopped as if smacked in the face with a brickbat, sniffed the air and jumped the sideline barrier, headed through the bleacher corridor and disap- peared in the direction of the noise.

It took the local folks longer to figure out the answer than it does for me to tell it, but here's what they pieced together.

The crash had been a circus train passing through The mon- key cage had been shattered and Smiley had at last found one of bis own kind He grabbed a she ape by the hand and frolicked off toward a nearby wood.

PROFS FEELING OATS AGAIN By BOB SCHIEFFER. aad BOB Bl LI.OCK

Faculty members, still gloat-

ing about their victory over the

intramural football champs, will

try to pull off a similar stunt at

3pm today when they face Del-

ta Tau Delta in a basketball game of sorts.

The pedagogue squad will emerge from their musty little dens about midday and troop by one's and two's to the Practice Gymnasium, which has been des- ignated battle site of the game, for benefit of Campus Chest

History Prof Ben Procter, spokesman for the group, says his team is in good spirits for the scrap

"Fact is," says the Big P, "this bunch is asking no quarter (except the 25-cent admission) and H giving none

' We do feel we'll have to make one concession, though, we won't start any player over 65

The team is In top shape ex-

cept for Jim Brock, sports publicity director.

Johnny Swaim, frosh basketball coach, mistook Brock for the ball during a workout and dribbled the little fr'ler half way d mn the court before Brock was able to shake free.

Swaim was promptly demoted to the second team with instruc- tions to see an eye doctor.

Brock will be joined in the starting lineup by Wesleyan Foundation Director Ken Glass- en. Joe Hearn, who handles vet- erans' affairs on campus, Reli- gious Director Jim Farrar and Procter.

Farrar will be playing under extra pressure; his wife has de- manded that he give up the game if he doesn't letter this year

Swivel-hipped Vernon Hallbeck will get first call from the side- lines. The former Frog footballer also will tend the water barrel and keep spectators off the players' bench.

Assistant Dean of Women, Jo- Ann James and Joan Jenkins, English instructor, will supply

rheers under the direction of E. C. Polk, also of English.

Polk is being brought back by popular demand, Procter says, after stirring faculty rooters to near frenzy during the football game last fall.

The genial pep leader has au- thored a new yell for the oc- casion

It's a sonnet type cheer titled. Waste no time to win with haste

. . . but use good taste " Dr Marguerite Potter will head

the officiating corps. "I'm serving as parliamentari-

an," she said yesterday, as she slipped into a pair of old sneak- ers.

The Delta Tau Deltas apparently aren't too worried about the faculty strength

One of their number said this week, that:

"We are stout-hearted, red- blooded f.' — ■ and 100 per cent American youths and we have nothing to fear, besides, the scorekeeper is one of our pledges who transferred in at midterm from Texas Tech.

continues his quest for top-notch high school football stars as he travels to the Texas Panhandle and West Texas this week He will be In Odessa tomorrow.

Childs injured his left ankle while sliding into second several weeks ago in Seguin for the 2 game series with Texas Lutheran college.

0 injured in the game was left fielder Jimmy Walk- er who is now back on his feet.

"I B can give us that long ball," commented Coach Rab- bit McDowell, who's anxious to get the Poly product back in the lineup, 'and we can always use that"

Trainer Elmer Brown says not sure when Childs will

By JOHN SHIELDS "He's not All-America, he's

All-World." This sums up Coach Buster

Brannons sentiments about Cin- cinnati's 2-time All America Os car Robertson. It was Robertson who, almost single-handedly de- feated the Frogs 77-73 in the NCAA play-offs

"He's just the greatest player I've ever seen, and I've been going to basketball tournaments since 1939," continued Brannon

"He can shoot, run, pass or feed under the basket. There's:

just no stopping him I've never seen the likes of him."

Brannon leaned back in his

wooden chair and recalled the first game in the tournament as he relaxed in his office

' We had a real good chance, but those bad breaks just ruined us," added the TCU cage mentor.

Undoubtedly one of those bad breaks Brannon referred to was a referee's decision with six or seven minutes remaining in the game.

The referee called blue (refer- ring to TCUi and the Frogs charged towards the basket The official, however, changed his decision on the out-of-bounds ball and called white.

He then handed the ball to a Cincy player who threw it in

court The resuit was a quick two points that pulled the Bearcats to within one point of the front- running Frogs

That was the one spark Cin- cinnati needed.

At any rate, it's all over for the Frogs.

"The boys did all right," spoke Brannon "Kirchner and Ronnjr iStevenson) did us a great job. Tyler turned in a good game, too. Brunson did us a good job defensively."

The Frogs didn't leave Law- rence empty handed. They de- feated DePaul University, 71-65, in the consolation game to take third plate.

'PRIVATE RANCH WEEK' PLANS FIZZLE Plans for a "Private Ranch Week" tonight,

at a west-side dance pavilion flopped when a group of about 50 students who had ramrodded the affair called it off "for the good of every- body concerned."

Rumors circulating on campus this week Indicated the celebration would be sponsored by a group who had rented the pavilion and planned to sell admission tickets.

However one student who admitted he was an organizer disclosed yesterday, that "We've just decided to forget it; it didn't work out."

In other developments on the situation this week:

1. Signs proclaiming the affair would be held were replaced by a crudely drawn poster which reads, "Ranch Week has been called off

because the damned Administration found out." (signed) The Sheriff.

2 Football Coach A1K> Martin warned his players to shy away from such an affair.

Dean of Students Laurence Smith admitted the Administration knew of the proposed dance but indicated they would make no move to stop it. He did point out that if a disturbance was provoked action might be taken later.

"We aren't even worried about it," he indicated "It was said to be a private party and we have no direct jurisdiction in the matter."

Smith also squelched rumors that members of the faculty planned to be on hand with note pads to copy student names in a "raid."

"Our course of action would be to wait for

complaints by students, residents of the in l", ai police," he added, "then, if ■ warranted, the student or indents Involved would tie called in for disciplinary action that would include a iv\ lew of his pa I

It al>o was noted that under lentl caught with alcoholk beveragei and the persons serving them would be left open for action by the State Uquor Control Hoard

Cotch Martin said he Hrsl heard of the affair last week when he saw a jign m the Student Center calling for the election of one of hia players as Ranch Week Foreman

"Rut I had a squad meeting," he said, and this business came up The hoes assured me that the sign was a joke and I had nothing to worry about, i may be wrong but I'm convinced that nobody on our squad had anything to do with it "

Style Tips from the

CLYDE CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY SHOP

(on* of a series)

We Don't Give a Continental

: one cither when it comes to that Because we're talking about the new so called Continental suits that you have been rending about in the papers and perhaps seeing on

Mon.

You know the Continental is an Italian inspired suit with » ■ rent, usually two buttons, wide shoulders and a

wasp wai^t Now. we carry these beauties at our Clyde Campbell store for men, but we at the Clyde Campbell L'niver

>hop don't believe that this is a suitable suit for young men in college or just out.

The style is flattering to older men. and it takes some of its features from natural shoulder suits like we've been selling at the Clyde Campbell University Shop for three years now, but the fabrics are fancy i -silk and wool or shiny gabar- dines) and the cut is not natural.

So, in brief, that is why you won t find Continental suits in the only store in the Fort Worth Dallas area that is run exclusively for young men in college.

THE SCORE

Northern Knowledge vs. Southern Saps By PAT BECKHAM

WHO NEEDS SENSE?

I Art a College Gradual*

At the risk of flunking a couple of 3-hour courses and failing to graduate in June. I'd like to comment on a recent article in Harper's magazine concerning education.

"The future of colleges depends on the quality of the student body." says Mar- tin Mayer, author of the story.

Mayer says that the cap- abilities, as well as the am- bitions, of the students must match the aims and requirements of the college, or something undesirable may happen to both the institution and the student.

The author brings out the point that a college will be damaged immediately and most likely permanently if it accepts students who cannot handle the work involved in higher education.

Very few schools are strong enough that they can suffer the loss of tuition which results from vacancies in the freshman class.

It also ia the quality of the student body which at tracts professors to colleges and retains them. Some colleges which can pay less than the big state universities at- tract a superior faculty because the quality of the students makes the work more rewarding.

The article further comments that the danger is in the fact that many of the private universities may become de- pressed to the point where they are good for no higher ta.-k than servicing the less able student.

In one area of his discussion, Mayer claims the North- ern schools far out-distance our area and the rest of the nation in intelligent students. He does not necessarily refer to scholastic indexes or letter grades, as quite often a far superior-minded person has a lower index than a more limited person due to hampering circumstances.

Personally speaking, I do not know much about the great credence of Northern knowledge, but I do recall seeing statistics pointing out that the New England states, with less than 30 per cent of the nation's population, provide 60 per cent of the top scorers yearly on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Considering some of todays seniors and graduates- it's no surprise.

SW Campus Confidential

By JACK HARKRIDER

II \.\S— A University associate profes-

sor of chemistry replied I question of cheating on final chemistry exams:

"The chemistry department had pone over the final grades and compared them with ou~ hour quiz grades ami nothing to suggest anyone had the aj|§wef»!"

Was it because the <|iirs. tions went unansw,■;■»■(!. Prof?

In answer to a recent cha: I atheism at the Univi raity of Tex- a^ Howard Wolf. Studer' nation president, was quoted as having said

U j-!i ih - Mate hav in| a S65 million tax deficit and opi of the Legislature coating $11,- 000 a day. it looks like they could find something more to do than set up straw men and try- to look like Matt Dillon taking pot shots at them "

But Matt Dillon never misses.

* ARKANSAS—

Ever wonder where the i t> on, "He's yellow," originat-

ed ? It date« back to pre-Civil War

days when cowardly attacks written on yellow paper wen against prominent figures

Thus, anyone who had a cowardly nature became "yellow.''

* A&M—

A short Associated Press filler reads as follows:

"Some people in this towa near Hamilton say they prefer skunks to cats as pets I I they are excellent mouser- as well as clean pets. The skunks, of course, are deodorized.''

That would help the situation at times.

• NTSC

It seems that TCI' is not the only campus plagued with the time difference of school docks. For example:

"Students won't be able to blame erroneous clocks in their dormitories any more for their oversleeping.

"Dean Imogens Benflej k reeled Mrs. I'rcie Timblin director of dormitories, to te I dorm mothers to check with

rn Union in an effort to unify the oft erratic time, on campus."

Western Union already has reported nine bribe offers from unknown sources.

• TWI

According to the Daily I the Let - Have Better H Assn. announced its motto for the month and the runners up

"The ■oto: I welcome cnti- write yours here '

" 'Here's a space of one half inch by one half inch just below the motto '

"Runnersup included: "If kindness fails, I'll hit

"I don't vv.tut to shoot you— just the guy that introduced uk.'

t ontinuing this further "l.end me your face, I want

to scare a neighbor's dog." Or, "I make it a habit

never to forget a face—but in your rase, I'll make an fireption."

"I rould grow to dislike >ou intense!), but I'm not even going to bother."

"I'd like to see your ideas go through the proper channel—one flush should do it.''

Woods and Waters TexaS Relay ProsPects Bri9ht

By GEORGE GOULD

This is the story of how i benefit can turn into i first- class problem. Control of nutria has become a puzzle in Texas, with this little South American import on u eating rampage pretty well over half of Texas.

For those who don't know what nutria is. he's nothing more than an overgrown rodent and slightly resembling a big rat. When full grown, he attains the size of I beaver

Reports from various parts of Texas indicate heavy damage in the marshland where nutria have practically taken over thousands of acres of marshes. They are not onlv destroying duck and other game foods, but crops too.

The little animal also has spread over much of the eastern half of the state. Many country clubs with lakes are reporting that nutria have eaten off shrubs around the lake banks and are destroying the foundations of some of the dams.

They have also penetrated state-owned fish hatcheries and are eating all the growth supporting the levies, thereby weakening them so that water seeps out. Many privately owned small lakes in Texas are operating under special programs to kill off the nutria.

Nutria were imported into the United States a few years ago because it was felt they might control undesirable vegetation on lakes and streams. They did not stop at eating undesirable vegetation, however. They destroyed other vegetation and are now classed as a nuisance.

Men's Furnishings, First Floo ^ti'l/nln 9 J

from the sideline By LEE GRIMSLEY

The board of trustees has already met for its spring bush.- kOfl and the Mar< h 8 issue of The Skiff reported that a new Ad Building and an infirmary' building were

to be constructed. A paragraph near the bottom of the story said "The trustees also learned plans for a 12,500- seat field house are being formulated "

When, if tftr, will TCU get a field house' One is cer- tain to be built sometime, but it probably is at least five years away. Why? Money, or lack of it, is one reason that is given.

Money, however, is the best argument, and perhaps the only argument, that can be given for building a field house now With the type teams Buster Brannon has been turning out the past few years, 12,900 seats could be filled every time the Frogs played at home. In about a 10-year period a field house would pay for itself and take a big chunk out of the loan that will be required to build any other new- buildings.

And a new field house wouldn't endanger the academic program either. Athletics aren't being overemphasised. I If they were, then why the new addition of the football sta- dium or the continuing issuance of large numbers of football and track scholarships'

If anything basketball is being underemphasized. In a recent IstUC of the Fort Worth Press, a reader wrote to Bounding Board, a column of letters to the editor, that TCU

: it to Fort Worth to construct a field house Now this statement is open to attack, but a statement that might Strike closer to home is: Does TCU owe it to the students0

Next fall l student will be required to pay $17 per se- r hour tuition. Included in that figure is admittance

to all athletic events But to see a basketball game a stu-j dent must find a ride for the 2-mile trip to Public Schools Gym, where the Frogs play their home games.

If a student doesn't own a car, it can be difficult trying to find a way to the games. A field house on the campus would provide an evening's entertainment to some 6,000 students, and it would IK- accessible to everyone.

Field holies in Lubbock. Dallas, Houston, Austin and College Station, located on the school campuses, are filled or nearly filled for eat li home game. Every time they open I loon to SMU Coliseum a capacity crowd fills the struc- ture.

But when TCU plays at home a 4,000-seat high school gym is quicly filled. Then the ticket sellers begin telling prospective customers ;"Sorry, we're out of seats. Better luck next time "

What's the answer1? Build Buster Brannon a field house. He'll build the teams that will fill it up. Then all sorts of buildings can be paid for. Who knows' Maybe there'll even be enough to build Rabbit McDowell a new baseball field.

FROG '9' STARTS SWC TITLE CHASE

By JACK HARKRIDER With plenty of non-conference

experience behind them, the Frog nine travels to Waco Sat- urday to engage the Baylor Bears in a diamond duel which should provide an inside view of TCU's chances in the championship race

For the first time in Southwest Conference History, TCU has a good chance of being the first school to win the triple crown of the conference. With the football and basketball trophies already salted away, Coach Rabbit McDowell and his players "would like nothing better than provide the third star in the crown

While a 5-5 record might be considered a poor start for the championship trail, the Frogs

ABB'S BACK; NO BOUNTY?

The Jacksboro philosopher, Abe Martin, has just returned from a recruiting tour of West Texas, but so far there has been no announcement as to which high school football stars the Frog coach has landed.

One of the top players on his list reportedly was James Parker, the bruising 190-pound fullback from S > r who has been an all-stater for the past two seasons.

So far, the Frogs have nabbed only one top schoolboy star. He is Donnie Smith. an all state back from Taylor who is equally talented on the cinder paths.

have gained valuable experience from their non-conference frays and are expected to send the Bears running back to their cage.

According to McDowell, the starting pitcher for the Purples won't be decided until tomorrow

•'They've got a lot of left-hand- ers on their squad and I won't know who to start until I see Baylor's starting lineup at the game "

However, if things go accord-

ing to plan, the probable starter will be Darrel Reed, the slinging righthander from Bovina

Baylor is expected to start Rudy Baughton, a left-hander, who pulled the Bears out of a few hot spots during the first of the season.

Backing up Raughton, will be a diamond-wise team which includes Don Riddle, third sacker, and Bob Turner, shortstop In their 9-6 victory over the Uni- versity of Houston Cougars. Rid- dle turned in a home run and a double while Turner scratched his name on the hit roster with two doubles.

Bolstering the Frogs' batting power will be George Banda, shortstop; Hunter Enis, first base, and Marshall Harris, center field, who got two hits and two runs batted in when TCU was shaded by the Oklahoma Sooners, 9-7

Banda also got two hits and two runs batted in while Ems added his contribution with one hit and one run batted in.

After the Baylor contest, the Frogs come back home to play the Rice Owls Tuesday. An 1. if McDowell's plans materialize, the Frogs will enter the game with a 6-5 season record and 1-0 in the conference.
