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.
Present officers of the organ
ization include two prominent Col
lege Station business men, Ford
Munnerlyn as president and H. E.
Buggess as vice-president. Both
are Ex-Aggies. D. L. Wilson is
the secretary of the organization.

Tea and Crumpets
Are Served Daily
In T. u. 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."
