Texas Questions Offside
Penalty in SMU Defeat
Editor of the Daily:
I remember the Texas people saying we weren’t good
sports localise we didn’t like the way the penalties were call-
ed in the Texas-Oklahoma game But let the tkle turn and
hear them baw l about one 5-yard offside penalty called against

Hodge View
Of Curfew
Editor of the Daily:
This letter is an answer to a
letter in the October 10 isfe of
the Daily which upheld the cowl
curfew rules To quote Mr Hodge
himself “Nothing helpful or con-
structive is contained in the
piece"
Perhaps every rule can be de-
fended and Justified by the ap-
plication of good sense and
reasoning but I hare yet to
see good reasoning applied
Mr Hodge states that coeds
should not mind consulting their
hostess before going to the in-
firmary when ill because the
hostesses are substitutes for the
girl's mothers Well who asked
for substitute mothers anyway?
A counselor's duty should be
to advise coeds who nerd guid-
ance and who ask for it not
to pry into their personal af-
fairs However a girl's house
mother should know- her where-
abouts while she is in the in-
firmary therefore T hare no
complaints against that particu-
lar rule My objection concerns
the line of reasoning pursued
A girl of “good breeding”
doesn’t need a substitute mother
to tell her how to act like a lady
and in my opinion most of the
coeds on this campus have good
breeding Those few who abuse
their rights and privileges always
find a way of doing what they
please regardless of restrictions
Yes Mr Hodge I respect and
obey the regulations and laws
of my country and my universi-
ty but I also know that we have
the right to change those laws
and regulations
If the coeds on this campus
really like being told what to do
and when to do it if they feel
that they need strict ruies of be-
havior to keep them in place
then I and the other objectors
shall continue cheerfully to abide
by the rule of the majority

Superhighway Planning
Editor of the Daily:
Mark Danner's letter defending
the 35-milc speed limit on Ard-
more’s superhighway reveals the
weakness inherent in the whole
scheme: a deficit of careful plan-
ning Certain obstacles existed before
the highway's construction ever
began Not the least of these were
some 200 elementary school child-
ren who even then had to cross
the then-existing highway In or-
der to go to and from school
logically a tunnel or some like
safety device should have been
planned along with the super-
highway Itself
Another obstacle apparently re-
garded as insurmountable re-
mains to plague the motorist The
Santa Fe railroad tracks after
AUSTIN Trx- Nov 3—
Movies of the Texas-Southern
Methodist football game today
put undrr question a last-quarter
prnalty that halted a Texas
goalward march
A showing of the movies to the
Longhorn- squad disclosed that a
Texas drive that was stopped
partly due to a 5-yard offside
penalty may have been miscalled
Trailing 13-14 Texas was on
the move around Ihe 30-yanl
line Jim Canady took the ball
down around the 15 but the play
was railed back and Texas pen-
alized five yards Movies showed
that Petrovich left tackle Jump-
ed over the line and started
back the opposing tackle drove
into Petrovich tieirg him up
before the ball was snapped
Had both teams been railed off-
side with no loss of yardage'
the drive would have cleared
fr a first down by four yards
Instead it went over on downs
to SMU
Longhorn coaches noted the of-
ficiating had the film section re-
run several times Coach Blair
Cherry would not comment ex-
cept to say' “The SMU game is
all water under the bridge We’re
spending this week getting ready
for a fine Baylor team"
Editor's Note: Arrording to
reports reaching ns one of the
officials at the game whirh was
played in the -cotton bowl was
appropriately enough Jack Sisco
Coeds Shine
Editor of the Daily:
Have you noticed — shiny noses
and stray locks of hair are preva-
lent among coed students in the
journalism school
This change in their usually neat
and impeccable personages is caus-
ed by the missing mirror in the —
well the little girls room
Is someone 'furnishing a new
apartment? Is its disappearance
the result of a belated Halloween
prankster? Whatever the cause
please — we say please — bring it
back soon Jackie Goodwin
A Call to Legs!
Editor of the Daily:
Attention Coeds!
We challenge the Intelligent wo-
men on this campus that possess
a modicum of independence to re-
volt against the Parisian hypocrisy
and judge the frock length — not
by this years styles — not by last
years styles — but to even shorter
lengths (Set a new high)

being re-routed at some expense
and trouble now run squarely
across the superhighway a sit-
uation probably without parallel
anywhere In the United States
Mr Danner writes that the su-
perhighway was built by "the gov-
ernment as an experimental pro-
ject” Docs that make the high-
way's shortcomings defensible?
My point Is why spend money
to build a superhighway and
then sit up nights thinking of
ways to destroy its effectiveness?
I am no supporter either of "the
1947 supersonic highway speeds”
But if a reasonable rate of speed
is not to be allowed why even
build a superway? A two-lane as-
phalt road can easily handle 35-
mllc speeds Aaae Price

Fowl Friend
Seeks Letters
Editor of the Daily:
A few days ago I received a let-
ter from a friend of mine in Colo-
rado This friend is a bird lover
and makes a close study of birds
and their habits Is his ietU-r he
made a request I would like to
quote
“I would appreciate it very
much if you would introduce
me via the postman to someone
with an active interest In birds
with whom I might correspond"
1 have been trying to find some-
one that might he interested but
that's about like trying' to find
the proverbial ' needle in the haystack"-
I would appreciat e it very
much and i know my friend would
If you wouii print this rt?quest of
his — even if just for binds sake
In case anybody is interested they
can write to the 'ollowiiig address

Reader Wants
More Shelter
Editor of the Daily:
Our hospital is rnllrcly too
small to contain the patients who
will soon be standing in its wait-
ing room Why? Because of our
transportation facilities to and
from the south campus
Each day hundreds of students
stand on open corners hoping
only hoping to get on a bus
Why can’t shelters be constructed
which will keep these people out
of the wind and rain?
No doubt we need new build-
ings new equipment and sundry
other items but sir what good
will new classrooms do us when
our students are in the hospital?

No Pressure
Editor of the Dally:
In his letter to the Daily on
October 21 Mr Larry Swanson
stated: "Due to administrative
pressure from outside the drama
school we are forced to cut and
substitute some lines or face the
possibility of having them cut for
us
I wish to correct part of the
statement The present administra-
tion has not brought pressure on
the Playhouse to delete lines from
the plays

(Second verse continuation of the first which startec
yesterday and ends today I hope) he
Yesterday we left Effie the meek mikl little lambic ik
the hands of the Baa Baa Alplias who had asked her over tc ajj
their meadow for an afternoon chew by the brook It wath
part of the regular rustling season when the Baa Baa Alpha: ycc
were considering taking other little lambs into their owi
meadow ' 1 ic
The cud-chewing was over when we left Effie and “thi a
Baa Baa Alpha leader got down to cases “
“Effie dear” she said “tell us
about the ranch you're from"
"Well it's only a very small
one owned by a kind old widow"
Effie said sweelly
“Oh the trader murmured
“And Effie lainli how many
rihlNins has your father won?"
“Why none at all” Effie re-
plied simply
“Well Effie how much per
pound did your grandmother
bring?” the B B A leader quer-
ied “They coudn't sell her — she had
anthrax” Effie answered sadly
“Oh" the leader murmured
again as she grinned sheepish-
ly at her sister B B A's
Effie wasn't asked to join the
B B A's or any other group
Daily she would watch them as
