THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1946
Brazos A & M Club
Hears Col. Meloy
Describe System
The doors of the Military De
partment are always open and any
cadet can come in and talk to the
military personnel at any time,
Col. Giiy S. Meloy, commandant
and professor of Military Science,
told the Brazos County A. & M,.
Club Monday evening at the Bryan
Country Club.
Every branch of the armed ser
vices that was on the campus prior
to 1942 has now been reactivated,
and in adition an air unit has been
established, Col. Meloy said. A
better deal is being offered those
who sign up for R.O.T.C. in that
not only the basic ration is allow
ed, but these men also are furnis-
ed several items of their clothing,
including shoes. Modern combat
equipment is coming in all the
time, all new and much of it in
the original crates in which it had
been placed for overseas shipment,
the speaker declared.
Among the military department
officers are seven Texas A. & M.
graduates. Enlisted personnel to
tals 32, of whom 19 are master
sergeants, all with oversea exper
ience. Eleven of them were offi
cers up to the rank of major. One
of the handicaps his department is
working under is that there are
no advance senior units now on the
campus. All present cadet offi
cers would be non-commissioned
officers in normal times.
Col. Meloy gave a detailed ac
count of how discipline is handled
by the Dean of Men with the as
sistance of the Military Depart
ment, and discussed the relations
of his department with both single
and married veterans now in school.
He thought that if improvement
continued on the plane of the im
mediate past that Texas A. & M.
College would soon have its Blue
Star rating again.
The club voted to have its an
nual banquet and dance, held in
cooperation with the Athletic Coun
cil, on the night of Saturday, Jan.
11, 1947. Due to the advance in
prices of all food items, tick
ets will sell at $2.00, which will
include both the banquet from 7:00
to 9:00 p. m., and the dance from
9:30 p. m. until midnight. Atten
dance will be held to 900.
The club voted to change its by
laws to make its fiscal year from
Jajnuary througfh; December, in
stead of from August through July.
It was decided not to- have a meet
ing of the club in December. Ar
rangements have been tentatively
made for showing motion pictures
of the Texas-Rice football game,
which Rice won 18-13, at the Feb
ruary meeting.

Fish & Game Plans
Summer Field Trip
Preliminary plans for the sum
mer field trip were discussed at
the semi-monthly meeting of the
Fish and Game Club last Tuesday
night. Dr. W. B. Davis, head of
the Fish and Game department,
announced that four credit hours
would be offered for a six-weeks
term in the field. Tentative
arrangements are being made to
combine the fish and game jour
ney with field trips in botany and
range management.
It was estimated that the total
expense of the course will be ap
proximately one hundred and fifty
dollars. Veterans are eligible un
der the provisions of the G. I. Bill
of Righs.
Dr. Davi$ revealed that several
out of state game departments
had been contacted as possible
areas for the trip and that the
most likely are Idaho, Wjyoming,
and Montana. The plan is to take
over some field project being car
ried on by one of these states in
order to give practical field exper
ience to graduate and under-grad
uate students of fish and game.
Rollins Addresses
A&M Annex Veterans
At the last general meeting of
the A. & M. Annex Veterans Club,
Dean J. W. Rollins of the Office
of Student Affairs, discussed how
past veteran’s experiences may
have helped him in deciding to
come to A. & M. He elaborated
on the importance of building and
maintaining a good record while at
A. & M. and the importance of
truthfulness regarding all matters.
“As long as time exists, the re
cord of every man who ever at
tended A. and M. will remain on
file, and fifteen or twenty years
from now, some company may
want to know the record of some
particular individual made while
attending A. & M., Dean Rollins
stated.

tution, as you can plainly see.
