Big, Blond, Beautify
Mitchum A la Crosby 
Rustles Austin Again

B y H I L D A C H A L E F F a n d 

L E L A B E L I T S K Y

W ith his long hair tucked in 
his belt “ because it made me look 
like a working actor,” and with 
trousers reinforced with adhesive 
tape “ looking like double relief,” 
Robert Mitcham entered a H olly­
wood producer's office.

“ Can you rid e?” he was asked.
tongue i n 
“ Sure,” he said, 
cheek, wondering which end of 
the horse the bridle went on. “ I 
used to break horses out on my 
ranch in Laredo, Texas.”

Four falls from a bronco, after 
which “ that animal came at me 
with teeth like piano keys,” start­
ed tall, blond Robert Mitchum on 
his short-lived movie career, now 
temporarily replaced by service in 
the army.

Private (fc ) Mitchum is on tour 
by governmental orders with “ The 
Story of G I Joe,” and spoke at 
the Paramount 
its opening at 
Tuesday. In the movie he plays his 
biggest role to date as Captain 
Walker, originally Captain Wasa- 
kow from Belton, Texas, in Ernie 
P yle’s 
“ Brave Men.” Monday 
Private Mitchum stopped in Belton 
to spend his birthday with the 
fam ily of the real Captain Wasa- 
kow, who was killed in the Italian 
campaign.

He visited Austin for the first 
time while he was in College Sta­
tion making “ W e ’ve Never Been 
“ I still remember that 
Licked.” 
driving Longhorn team and Aus­
tin’s gorgeous women. W ell, 
I 
didn’t see the team this time, but 
the women are still here.”

Mitehum’s first movie after the 
bronco episode was “ Gung Ho.” 
Later came a part in “ Thirty Sec-

ond* Over Tokyo,” in which he 
was a Texan.

Again in “ The Story of G I Jo e ” 
Robert Mitchum is a native son. 
W ith a soft Southern accent and 
a beard that marks his resem­
blance to Bing Crosby, he moves 
easily through a movie vague and 
loosely-woven in form. The char­
acter he plays and that of the ser­
geant are the only well-drawn and 
definable portrayals in the film.
As Ernie Pyle, Burgess Mere­
dith is negative. There is only a 
significant look from him every 
hour on the hour to remind the 
audience that he is in the picture.

Foster Plays Sonata 
From Dello Joio Sunday

W’hen Sidney Foster, concert 
pianist and visiting piano profes­
sor, plays in the Recital Hall Sun­
day afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, he 
w ill introduce to Texas audiences 
a sonata by the contemporary 
American composer, Norman Hel­
lo Joio.

Mr. Foster’s first performance 
of this sonata was in New York 
with the New York Philharmonic 
Orchestra. While he was writing 
it, Dello Joio asked the pianist to 
look over this composition. Mr. 
Foster liked it and wanted it for 
his debut. Finished in four days, 
the sonata was a success at its 
first performance.

Waves Splash 
In Irish Overture

Houston Symphony 
Goes Latin Too
The musical translation o f th® 
sounds of waves lashing the rocky 
coastline of an Irish island, Men­
delssohn’s overture to “Fingal’i 
the Houston 
Cave,” will open 
Symphony Orchestra’s two con­
certs Thursday evening, August 
9, in the Recital Hall at 7 :30 and 
9:15 o’clock.

Under the direction o f Ernest 
Hoffman, the orchestra will re­
vive the composer’s 
impressions 
of an eroded mass of rock in the 
North Sea, and the cave that the 
sea has eaten out of it. Almost 
unknown 
to Recital Hall audi­
ences, the overture is played fre­
quently by symphonic groups in 
I the East, particularly the Boston 

Pops Orchestra.

A L L B U T O N E Navy team in 
intramural 
,f:a\e now 
softbai 
chosen nickname? fo r their teams.
These subtitle? w ill prevent, re­
gardless of the fact that tho vari­
ous companies may be ^num ­
bered, the spectator from Stettin g 
completely confused during he 
coming year as to which Navy 
team is which.

Conda Kegan** Second Co., 
Prather, which is riding high atop 
the other Companies in the Navy 
League standings, 
is now duly 
United the “ Keglers.”

K E G A N ’S K E G L E R S , with five 
straight victors a under their belts 
have been named such 
(says 
Maxie B ell) because they expect 
to “ bowl over the opposition.

First Co.. LCD, paced bv its 
deceptive chunker— Leon Cope­
land— demonstrated that 
it was 
strictly on the beam. This group is 
strictly the “ Copasetic?.”

Fourth Co., Roberts, the first 
company to enter the fold, is now 
fairly well established as 
the 
“ Redbirds.” Fans have been try ­
ing to discover if Roberts has a 
working agreement, with the Gas 
House Gang from St. Louis.

S W A S H B U C K L IN G 

F r a n k 
E rvin of Fourth Co., Hill Hall, 
aaid “ call us the ‘Corsairs’.” This 
nickname can, of course be sup­
plemented by such monickers as 
the “ Burs” and “ Pirates.” (Pitts­
burgh will please note.)

The lately-departed Third Co., 
Prather, will he known upon re­
suming competition in the fall as 
the “ Scotchmen.” In case you’re 
wondering just why, look at some 
of their scorecards. You'll find 
J . C. Modish pitching and Bob 
McDaniel receiving.

First Co., Prather, and Clowri- 
Chunker Lulu Turner have ingeni­
ously dubbed themselves the “ Hel­
lers.” Incidentally, all of the same 
broke loose in the first inning of 
their game with the Keglers Mon­
day.

T H E IN T R A M U R A L O F F IC E , 
Ex-Student Association, and other 
directly interested groups are now 
conducting a campaign for pic­
tures of teams that won various 
intramural championships when 
the program was in its infancy.

W hat started the ball rolling 
was a picture received a few 
weeks ago of the 1916-17 basket­
ball champions. This was Mr.

intra­

of organized competition.

Good news of the week in intra-
1 mural softball was the resumption
of play by Navy men, after having 
been restricted over the week-end 
because of a new case of polio­
myelitis in the V-12 corps.

Alpha Tau Omega scored the 
upset of the .season in thoroughly 
outplaying and defeating Delta 
Tau Delta, as the next to the last 
week of intramural play began 
Monday. The five game* canceled 
last Friday will he played Friday, 
August 17.

In another important game co- 
f a v o r i t e Ex-Servicemen and 
Brackenridge Dorm of the Club 
Division remained just that way, 
playing to a five-inning deadlock 
Tuesday afternoon.

Third Company Dropped
From Navy League Play

The intramural advisory council was called together Wednes­
day afternoon for a special meeting to consider the eligibility
of three Navy teams.

Third Co., Prather, was forced to withdraw for the remainder 
of the season when found guilty of using an ineligible man under 
Ic- opponent— Second Co., LC D — against 
an a??umed name. 
whom the illegal lineup was used was awarded the game on for­
feit.

Russi a ’s de c l ar a ti on o f wa r on Ja pa n y e ste r day, c om ­
i ng as it does so ne ar the he adl i n e s of t he ato mi c bomb, 
m ay serve mer e l y to under l ine in mo st mi nds the reali ­
z ati on that v ict or y in the Pac ifi c is near.

If vi ctory is near, th o ugh, p e a c e is near, and the 
mil itary e ve nts o f the d a y are of r e l a t i v e l y little m ome nt 
w h e n a wor ld now bei ng de str oye d must be rebuilt. 
Russi a ’s entry in the Pa c ific W a r is— like the atomic 
bomb— far more si gnific ant f or its i mpl i cati ons to the 
pe ac e .

So it is that the suspicion, c o nte m pt, and ani mo si ty 
whi ch gr e ete d the n e w s of R u ss i a ’s entry ye s te r da y 
shoul d he a matte r of g r a ve st c o nc e rn to t he c o n t e m p l a ­
tion of the future. If w e c annot f i g h t to ge t he r in a war, 
c an w e live to g e th e r in pe a c e ?

The ans we r to that quest ion wi ll be the de cision of 

the c e ntruy!

In a worl d w h e r e the pow’er of the sun rests in the 
hands of men, co -o per at io n c anno t be a g o a l — it must be 
a fact. Suspicions, hatreds, and c o nc e nt s ha ve no pl ac e 
in the minds of men w h o are so ne ar — but, perhaps, so 
fa r — from be ing maste r s of the uni verse.

Since ma ny o f the frivolities a nd trivialities of e l e c ­

t e n d e n c y — but still onl y a t e n d e n c y — toward e nc o ur a g ­
i ng .student c o nsider ation o f the seri ous pr obl e ms o f the 
day.

In the spri ng e le c ti ons thi s y e a r and last, this ma tur ity 
has flour ishe d, but, in the i nte r ve ni ng months it has been 
al l o w e d to r ema in d o r m a nt for l ack o f ac ti ve and e x ­
per ie nc ed l e ader shi p to di r ec t a truly c onstr uc tive pro­

e qual l y, for lack o f a uni fi ed and c a pab l e suppor t to as­

c an not be de v e l o p e d ov e rni ght, this l atter poi nt o f uni­
fi e d suppor t is pe c ul i a r l y i mportant at pr e se nt in c on­
si der i ng the c o nti nui ng m e di oc r i ty o f st ud e nt g ov e r n­
ment.

Si nce late last y e a r the c a m p u s has been t h e c e nte r 
of a c onfli c t of tw o w i d e l y - d i f fe r i n g i deologi es. Pro­
pone nts of the di ff e r i n g c on c e pt s have e n g a g e d in a 
ste a dy c a mp ai g n ag a i ns t o ppo si ti on groups, e m p l o y i n g

of sini ster c onne cti ons, o utr i g ht fa l se hoo ds, a nd simi lar

we ll as the m e m be r s o f the g r o ups t h e m s e l v e s — have

of the day be c a us e o f the i ntol erant vici ousne ss of the

Out of this situation, however, the re h a v e de v e l ­
ope d periodic a tte m pt s to c onc il iat e, to c o m pr o mi se the 
t w o gr oups. Compr o mi se on sp e c i fi c issues is one thing, 
h ow e ve r , and c o mpr om i se of g e ne r a l i de a l s is qui te an­

fl i c ti ng groups t o g e t h e r and thus a l l o w one to dominate 
by sh e e r w e i g h t o f number s or by political c hi canne ry. 
The need 
is to di sti ngui sh the groups, esta bl i sh the 
groups, have t h e m present t h e m s e l v e s to the public for 
w h a t the y are and not f or w h a t r umor ma k e s the m.

If this c a mpus is to pr oduc e a c a pa bl e a nd acti ve and

The uranium atom is split apart 
with such force that all surround­

Do you know a child who plays 
the piano by ear? He is m aking 
a fine start toward 
learning to 
play the piano, a U niversity music 
professor says.
A ccording 

to Dr. Archie N. 
Jones, professor o f music ed u ca­
tion, a child who picks out se lec­
tions on the piano by ear has an 
interest in learning to play which 
will be a real help toward teach ­
ing him the technique o f playing.
By all means, teach the child 
techniques o f piano-playing, 
the 
Dr. Jon es warns, for he will never 
be a gen u ine musician if he c a n ­
not read the music. But ju st as 
you get a child interested in read­
ing by reading stories to him, so 
he can become in terested in the 
technique o f playing the piano.

There will com e a readiness in 
the child for the study o f special 
subjects, Dr. Jones says, regard­
less whether it 
is music, m a th e­
matics, or reading.

The purpose o f this le tter is 
to bring to light a rumor that 
is being spread am ong the stu­

clear th a t I have no desire to

Second, I wish to make it clear 
that I do not think that those 
who are spreading the rumor 
are dishonest, or that they are 
m alicious 
that 
th e y are “fascists.” I simply 
think 
they are m isin­

perately trying to gain support­

since th e y are desperate, they 
seem t o believe that the end

The rumor which 

is being 
spread is that Ben R am ey and

is 
still receiving m oney from the 
C.I.O. in order to carry on its

is true. It is common know ledge 
that the m oney being used came 
from hundreds o f stu d en ts w’ho 
contributed 
thousand 
dollars from their own pockets.
Even if it were true, would it 
mean 
for 
th a t the principles 
which Ben Ramey and the Com­
m ittee for A cadem ic Freedom 
are fightin g are wrong? This is 
the 
inher­
en t in the rumor. I do not thin k 
it would mean that fig h tin g for
