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.

“What can you do when a par
ticle of food has lodged between
the teeth?
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. College Op
portunity Awards,” it was an
nounced today. The announcement
came from the office of the Texas
A. & M. College Development
Fund, joint representative of the
College and its Association of
Former Students.
The Opportunity Awards, ten in
number at its beginning, will of
fer through a statewide competi
tion, an opportunity for high
school graduates of outstanding
ability to secure a complete edu
cation at this institution, in spite
of financial handicaps. Designed to
reach that large group of highly
capable boys who graduate from
high school each year but do not
have the money to attend college,
this program will offer the ten best
of these men in Texas full four-
year scholarships worth $200 to
$300 per year for their four years
of college.
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.
