Page 2 The Battalion Monday Afternoon, May 20, 1946 Will You Give? - - - The Y.M.C.A. Drive for contributions to the World Student Service Fund in underway, and it is hoped that each student and student wife will realize that he or she is part of the great work which must be done. Although we may think that the U. S. was not the caurse for the dstruction and devastation whifh now exists in the world, if we intend to maintain our status as the leading nationf o the world, it is imperative that we become messengers of peace and good will. We must heed the crisis of fellow students in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific for food, clothing, shelter, and a few books and pencils. It is our responsibility, students of Texas *A&M College, to see that these students of the world who are seeking knowledge are supplied with the proper instruction, in order to prevent further chaos. No doubt, the majority of us are not able to give abundantly to this cause, but we are able to give and we can give and give cheerfully. You may think that your contribu tion is too small to be of any benefit. However, we realize that one person or one nation could not have won the war against the totalitarian might, and the same applies in this case. It is not intended that the monied class furnish the relief to foreign students, but a brotherhood composed of all students who wish to be a part of this reconstruction era. Take this for example: If every student here at school gives 25^, we will go over our quota. Yes, it is so little, but com bined with other donations, we can do a great job. Will you give ? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CHANGE SUGGESTED IN DATES FOR BALL, REVIEW Editor of The Battalion College Station, Texas Dear Sir: the May 15th issue, regarding the dates of the Final Ball and Final Review, it should be brought to the attention of those who set the dates for such affairs that, in the past, the Final Ball has al ways been on Friday night fol lowing the graduation program and the Final Review has always been on the following Saturday morning. Because of this, many students have made reservations for rooms for their guests accordingly. At this late date it would be almost impossible to secure reservations for the new dates or to change those that have been made for the old dates. To have the Final Ball on a Thursday night would be a great mistake due to the fact that many of the girls that want to come to A. & M. for the affair could not because of their college activities. A change in the dates would be a benefit to all concerned. Very truly yours, MARVIN G. SMITH ’46 LEWIS E. HILTPOLD ’44 JAMES L. MARTYN '46 Local C. of C. Votes For New Joint Name The names of two growing com munities, both motivated by the same ideals, have been welded in to the new name adopted for the local chamber of commerce group. Following a vote of the member ship of the Bryan-Brazos County Chamber of Commerce, the name was changed to “Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce." Of the 73 votes cast in the elec tion, 39 favored the new name while 9 were cast for the name of “Brazos County Chamber of Com merce" and 9 votes were cast for the present name. The new name will be formally adopted and become official at the next meeting of the organization at which time an amendment to the constitution will be adopted incorporating the change.

Library They even come right out and admit it! In the Daily Texan of May 17, there appears a short item on the tea and crumpets (what the heck are they?) that are served in the Rare Books Section of the T. u. library daily at eleven each morning and again at four each afternoon. When special guests are visiting the collection, the library’s silver tea service is used. “While most students may pre fer to dash over to the Drag for a coke or a cup of coffee, in this lavish depository of ancient docu ments ‘tea and crumpets’ seem entirely proper."
