Trucks Now Bright Maroon and White; Aggies Cheer Sight Once upon a time the trucks and work vehicles of the buildings and college utilities department were a dingy sight—painted in various drab or weather-beaten colors. That has all been changed in the last few weeks. College vehicles have been spray ed with a finish of shiny maroon and laquer, and the letters “B & CU Dept., A. & M. College” are stenciled on their glistening sides. It’s enough to make an Aggie stand up and cheer to see these bright vehicles gliding through the oak-shaded streets, proudly dis playing the school colors. More men become victims of insanity than do women. Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood Aggie Ex Is Named South Tex Manager Richard N. Conolly Richard N. Conolly, who was graduated from Texas A. & M.

The answer is, unequivocally, that you must wait until you are alone before doing anything about it. We still find toothpicks at the cashier’s desk in many eating places, but that does not justify using them in public. Avoid of fending those about you even though you may be uncomfortable for a few minutes. It’s not only what you do, but when and how you do it that leaves an impression on the friends, acquaintances and strangers you meet. So, remem ber, always, that the keynote of good manners is consideration for the feelings of others. Those of you who will be leaving for your summer vacation^ have a good time, and we will see you in the Fall. A. & M. Offers Opportunity Awards to Top High School Graduating Seniors Texas A&M is entering into the most challenging scholarships pro gram ever attempted by a South western institution, under the title of “The Texas A. & M.

In their annual meeting on the campus recently, the Board of Di rectors of the Association chose this project as the objectives for their next year's giving program, assuring the financing of these awards for a minimum of five years. The permanent scholarships committee of the college has ap proved this program and set up the machinery to put it into opera tion. Application forms will be mailed upon request to all 1946 graduates (male) of accredited Texas High Schools, and will also be sent to a list who have been recommended by their high school 'superintend ents and principals. From the ap plicants, ten winners will be se lected, five to receive the $200 awards and five the $300 scholar ships. These winners will be an nounced during the summer and will enter the College in Septem ber. Gen. E. H.
