Y. M. C. A. Is Scene Of Yell Practices,
Student Conferences, Varied Recreation
and to act as meat and milk in
spectors.
The School of Arts and Sciences
Under the leadership of Dean
T. D. Brooks, the School of Arts
and Sciences offers a liberal course
of education for those students
who are interested in a general
(See A&M, Page 10)
Traditional gathering place for
the yell practices that unite the
Texas A. & M. Corps into the
“Twelfth Man” is the entrance
stair to the Y.M.C.A. building.
Here also is where visitors and
cadets may come to turn in or
claim lost articles, to check their
parcels, write letters, make their
telephone calls, read magazines
and newspapers, or play checkers,
chess, or dominoes.
Here, too, is where the home
sick boy or the student in need of
advice of a social, spiritual, or
personal nature will find the ready
hand of friendship and understand
ing. The feeling of most of the
cadets on the campus, that “you
can start at the “Y” and get al
most anywhere you want to go,”
is true in a much deeper sense
than merely the geographical.
The Y.M.C.A. is a four-story
structure in the center of the cam
pus proper. Improvements have re
cently been made, with the cooper
ation of the A. & M. Mothers Club
and the Former Students Associa
tion, to make the Y.M.C.A. much
more beautiful and more useful.
Located on the main floor are the
business office, a lobby, chapel,
reading room, two lounges, and a
ladies’ parlor. A modem assembly
room and offices take up the sec
ond floor, and the third story is
devoted to dormitory space. Bowl
ing alleys, billiard tables, a barber
shop, sandwich shop, and soda
fountain are found in the base
ment.
In the new dormitory area, on
the south side of the campus, the
“Y” has constructed a temporary
building which houses a well-equip
ped confectionery, the South
Branch postoffice, a barber shop,
and a cleaning and pressing sub
station. Across the street, another
temporary building houses a game
room, a reading room, a prayer
room, an office lounge, and numer
ous meeting rooms and conference
rooms. The Y.M.C.A. also spon
sors Kiest Lounge in the north
end of Kiest "Hall in the new dor
mitory area; Kiest Lounge is open
for the benefit of cadets and their
visitors every weekend during the
football season and the spring
dance season, offering maid serv
ice and matron service, as well as
facilities for making and serving
coffee.
On the regular schedule of ac
tivities of the “Y” are the ten-day
Hollister Student Conference at
Hollister, Missouri; Religious Em
phasis Week, held during the early
part of spring; the Inter-church
Council, coordinating the efforts
of all campus churches; and he
Freshman Councils, which promote
fun, fellowship, and serious in
spiration. Also sponsored by the
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES - - -

Smith Announces New
Tin Can Salvage Plan
Tin cans collected from College
Station and Bryan residents will
be converted into' syrettes to be
carried by soldiers on the battle
field, under a new tin can salvage
plan announced by Lloyd D. Smith',
chairman of the College^ Station
Tin Can Salvage Committee. There
is enough tin in two cans to make
one of these little devices, which
are used by the^ wounded soldier
to give himself a hypodermic
which will ease his suffering for
six or eight hours or until medical
aid can be given him.
Public-minded College Station
citizens are requested to remove
the labels, clean the cans thor
oughly, cut out and tuck in both
ends, and mash them flat with the
pressure of the foot. Tin cans
should be set out in sacks or
boxes separate from the garbage,
and will be collected monthly. They
will be picked up all day Monday
and on Tuesday morning, May 21-
22 in the Oakwood, College Park,
and West Park areas; on Tuesday
afternoon - and Wednesday morning.
May 22-23, in the College Hills
section; and on Wednesday after
noon, May 23, in the North Gate
area.
Two tin cans can be prepared in
less than five minutes by the house
wife, and may mean the saving of
the life of one of our soldiers—
possibly, even one of our own sons.
Tin is one of our most critical ma
terials at the present time.

Rooms Included In Modern
College Memorial Library
Erected in 1930 and named for
E. B. Cushing, former member of
the board of directors, the Cush
ing Memorial Library was built at
a cost slightly in excess of $225,000.
This three story building is an
outgrowth of A. & M.’s original
library which was destroyed when
Lt. Governor Smith
Denounces 36th Chief
Y.M.C.A. is the Cushion Cabin, lo
cated on an island in a willow-
bound lake near the Campus. The
cabin contains a fireplace, game
rooms, and a piano, and is ideal for
picnics, weiner roasts, or small in
formal gatherings. Outside is a
campfire circle and a barbecue^ pit,
and ample room for softball or
touch football.
General Secretary of the Y.M.
C.A. is M. L. Cushion, who is as
sisted by J. Gordon Gay. Acting
in an advisory capacity is a board
of directors, composed of faculty
members, and a student -cabinet.
Lt. Gov. John Lee Smith
Texas’ scrapping Lieutenant
Governor John Lee Smith, him
self a veteran of World War I
and the father of a son now fight
ing on Okinawa, in an extempor
aneous speech on the floor of the
Texas Senate last week, sharply
denounced the action of Major Gen
eral John E. Dah\uist, temporar-
(See SMITH, Page 10)
the old main building burned down
in 1912. At that time the library
started with nothing. For a num
ber of years the progress was
very slow. When Dr. T. F. Mayo
took charge in 1919, the stock con
sisted of less than 20,000 volumes
tended by one librarian and one
untrained assistant. Under Dr.
Mayo’s able management, it has
been built up to 116,000 volumes
under the care of ten trained libra
rians and twelve non-professional
assistants.
At present this beautiful build
ing houses not only the library
proper, but also the Asbury Brows
ing Room where students gather to
smoke and enjoy idle moments. On
the third floor is the music room
which contains a modern remote
control record player which, with
1,000 records complete with card
index and 300 volumes on music
and musicians, was donated to the
library by the Carnegie Corpora
tion. About 600 records have been
added to this number and are in
constant demand by music-loving
students.
The library subscribes to about
1100 periodicals which are bound
into permanent files and form a
complete reference source for the
student interested in research. The
oldest of these is the Annual Reg
ister, a British periodical, which
is complete from 1755 to date.
Newspapers from the leading
cities of the country and most of
the towns of Texas can be found
in the newspaper room. In the
same room can be found the oil
painting of Reveille, famed mascot
of the Aggies.
