I Charles Kirkham said the senate agreed last year to have a selection committee ratfo the same as the ratio of military and non-mil- Uary students in school
Senate ConunlOf the fifteen members of the
selection committee, Kirkham said, five of them will be members of the senate social’committee. While in Denton, this acting committee will make tentative selections for individual girls from the group of 15 to represent A&M at each one of several social functions throughout the state-during the scholastic year. These events include the Rice Rouhdlet, the Baylor May Day, TCU’s Ranch Week, the University of Houston’s Coronation Ball, and an annual bail at Sam Houston University.
RequirementsNominees for the Aggie Sweet
heart must have a C average, no F’s or incompletes and a good citizenship record. These requirements are set by the TSCW dean of women’s office. Other qualifications ate attractiveness, neatness in dress and awareness of social responsibility.
Freshman nominees will not be considered for the contest, Kirkham said, because TSCW’s policy is not to allow freshmen to officially represent the school off the campus.
Karnes of the nominees will be announced by The Battalion as' soon as they are receiveid from Evelyn Balcar, vice president of the TSCW student body.

Appointed To New Position
C. N. Hielscher, associate-professor in the engineering drawing department, will work with junior colleges in handling the problems of transfer students in engineering^ it was announced today by Howard Barlow, dean of engineering,
The appointment was made by President F. C. Bolton.
It is imperative that the school cooperate closely with the junior colleges in rendering assistance to ybung men who are transferring to A&M for senior college work, Barlow said.
The rapid growth of junior colleges in Texas has made it possible in Texas for many young men to attend college for the first two years in their own community. It is necessary that senior colleges render assistance in simplifying the problem of later transferring for senior college work, Barlow continued.
In addition to asking for assistance with the problem of the transfer student, many junior colleges are requesting assistance in vocational courses of terminal nature as well as in courses which are accepted at A&M^for transfer.
Hielscher has had a broad experience in teaching the engineering courses which are required for beginners. He has taught in the mechanical engineering and { engineering drawing departments and has helped in handling the problems of transfer students in the Registrar’s Office, Dean Barlow con- MMl. .

His address opened the conservative, attack on the thrfe-day debate in Parliament on Britain’s; devaluation policy, y • f rTF
Churchill aaid even l^f the labor government waa forced to devalue the pound from $4.08 ta/$2.80, “it cannot he a good thinff and we have suffered a serious idisaatar.” Under the present strict controls, the conservative leader declared, it will prove a “new drain upon fur productive power.”
Churchill said Britain must cut taxes to increase the incentive to work, ease up on needless and vexatious controls and interference with the flexibility of private enterprise and must elect a government which could command national and international confidence.
Churchill made only passing reference to the news that Russia has achieved an atomic explosion. He dealt chiefly with Britain's economic wo«s, which he said brought

By EMIL BUNJES, JR.| l.Starring three outstanding sing^
ers, the infant Bryan Little Theatre presented “Africantasia” last night in the Stephen F. Austin High School auditorium making its initial bow to Brazos County theatre-goers. The show will again be produced in Bryan tonight and at Guion Hall, Oct. 1,. !
Competing with a circus for attraction of show seekers, the fantasy played before a small but appreciative crowd. This writer noted with interest the critical, good tastes of the audience as evidenced by the amount 6f applause at certain portions of the production.
; Pasting including every personality group from junior high youngsters to the mayor of Bryan, Roland Dansby, the show was actually a revue with somewhat of a plot underlying the whole affair. The plot concerns a Professor Fur- berlapper, played by John Stiles, who gets kicked out of a university because of various radical ideas which the faculty can't swallow.
Alter a safari to darkest Africa Furberlap ^
glimpses of the three’s adventures intermingled with numerous specialty numbers.
i It was these specialty pieces, particularly in the last act, that drew the loudest and longest applause. Noteworthy among them was Maxine Wiles, an Australian- born, comic singer and mimic, who took honors for the night) with heb bleeding-heart ballads and her mimic of Lou Costello. Born in Adelaide, Australia, she did some work in vaudeville and radio before coming to America qfter having married an American flyer. Though she has been in the states for 2% years she has lived in Texas only since last July. Her present ambition is to enter into the revival of vaudeville.
Virginia Eatill pleased the audience with kta dear strong voice, singing both semi-classical and semi-popular numbers. Her down-to-the-lights stage presence was appreciated.The dignified touch was felt of
Lois Thompson’s singing which was high soprani land sweet and dear. Melodies from Desert Song were in her repertoire. -

the St. Andrews Church helped construct the organization and is now the director of the theatre. The theatre has the endorsement of several Bryan-College Station busi ness men including the Bryan Chamber of Commerce.
“The most important idea of the production,” Mrs. Kressly, wife of the director said, “is the good attained within the hearts of the cast in the form of inspiration and fun, and not the production itself.”One of the objects of the show
ing of “Africantasia” is to determine if the Bryan populus wants a permanent theatre group.

would be possible if the dance could be held at The Grove instead of in Sbisa Hall.
“We could probably have a better band for the dance if we could eliminate the need for having two dances,” he added. Word concluded by saying that the dance had been scheduled for May 19.
The class gave a vote of confidence to Word for his efforts to select an orchestra.
Silver TapsWalt Zimmerman, corps execu
tive officer, discussed with the class the need for a standard code ef conduct for SilVer Taps ceremonies.
After several members of the class had voiced their opinions, the class agreed that the student body should gather in front of the Academic Building for the ceremony.
The area bounded by the sidewalks leading from the Academic- Building Ur the Civil Engineering Building and to the Electrical Engineering Building was designated for all Silver Taps gatherings. Organizational commanders were asked to advise all cadets of the tra-
onduct for Silver Taps, tion of a senior section
Field was discussed, and Byington.iwaa empowered to appoint a committee to investigate a course of filture action.
Members of the committee are Ted Pitzer, Jack Happy, Phil Parker, Ed Luckemeyer, Allen Landry, and E. N. Roots Jr.
The subject of corps representation in the student senate was brought up, but no action was taken by the class.
