Port Worth proved a splendid host last week-end, although o*e unfortunate M lncl- dent” did occur an a result of over-liquida tion," the effect of It wan wiped out by sin cere apologies. For the rest, Aggies and Tussles were house-guests in many homes, cars roamed the streets offering Aggies rides to the HomW Frog stadium, ano the A. A M. uniform was an "open sesame" everywhere. This week will b* the first Southwest Conference game here, and we hope we can prove ourselves good 'hosts. A reception com mittee has been set up by the student assem bly. We would like to treat visitors much as the IjSU Tigers treated us at Baton Rouge. A royal welcome was given viaiting Aggies. -A dance to which all Aggies were invited was held. In fact, you could say that the welcome mat was out all the way at LSU. | I Corpus Christi Station Adds Texas Farm and Home Hour’ By CARL H. CATER KI We would like to aae an information booth set up in the center of the campuw-^MBmY in front of the YMCA—where visitors may go for questions and answers. We would like iee t place where visitors can gojbr rest and relaxation both before and irter the game. The YljfCA would probably serve the nurpbse until the student Memorial Center is erected. We would like to aee coffee and doughnuts available for out-of-town viaitors. N< w Mexico A. k M. put such a practice into effect, and it ia proving quite Worthwhile. We would also like to see the welcoming committee send invitation* to visiting stu dent bodies, extending them a hearty w«i- come.to the A. k M. campus, and lastly, we would like to see a welcoming ceremony, per haps conducted on the steps of th* YMCA, where thepresident of the Student Assembly or Cadet Colonel presents the opposing Stu dent Body president with a “key to the campus.” Well, there you have our suggestions. Let's haW yours! Let’s make “Aggie hospitality” synony mous with “Southern hospitality!” Teaching or Propagandizing?... What’s wrong with Texas education? The answer seems to depend pn who you are and who you listen to. School administrators in Austin were told this week they have failed to “aell" public schools to the public and cannot expect full •upport until they go out and aak for it Paul Bolton, member of the Austin Pub lic Schools Board of Trustees and news edi tor of radio station KTBC, suggested to the Texas Asadciatioh of school administrators in convention that it should hire the mogt promising young journalist ill Texas to I the peopk, “so they will understand", wbat schools have done, are doing, and can do with the support of even’ citizen. He said that the Texas Stabe Teachers 7 Association had made a wise move in Wr ing Charles Tennyson as executive secretary "who organized as effective a lobby 1 guess as there hss ever been in the htHtory of the j legislature" (for the support of teacher pay nfc**>.

The TMA also discussed the low rating of Texas schools as compared to those off,] other states (Texas bring listed as thirty- seventh among the 48 states in national standing.) It has been generally believed that the cause of Texas’ low rating is underpaid teachers and substandard equipment, and that the remedy would be a per capita ex penditure more in line with other states. But James E. Taylor, who ahocked many Texans by retaining his state senatorship after accepting a poet as public relations di rector for the Texas Manufacturer’s Asso ciation, has a different answer. Taylor’s chief job with the TMA is presumably -to prevent any additional taxation of his clients, and therefore it is up to him to find Y’sbM chrtstJ lias bsm uktad to rtw H«t of statloM carrying the Tons Farm and Home Program.

The first programs were broad cast by WFAA, Dallas, and KFDM. Beaumont. In 1930, arrangements were made to add WOAI, San An tonio, and KPRC, He—teu, te w* chain. Although this system wasn't too satisfactory, the pipeline compan ies assured continuation of the program until 1932, when TQM was established and the College leased s line to Heame to tie in with Jhe network. In the program’s early days, it had the voluntary attention of Dr. F.. P. Humbert, head of A. A M.'s department of genetics. By fall of 19S9, the program needed a fulltime guardian, and the late John 0. Rosser, who had worked with both Tbias and New York -ution*. was brought in.

Jackson, Harris County Agent and formerly teacher ef vocational agriculture at Oak wood, Columbus and Bryan, was transferred to headquarters. Then Jackson brought in s radio partner—Sybil Banister, a young Texas University graduate. As “Jack and Claire,’’ the team was so successful that on January 1. 1945, the extension service assum ed full responsibility for the pro gram, junking the practice of ro tation of time among department* and agencies and going on a straight information basis. “If you’ve got something farm n go in and ranch peg . * {)|| So Ttylor blames the the broadcast time of the 1. •mg.” program from noon to six o'clock 1 1-7: >" the morning and Rosmr, RMp ] t«te superintendent of t t the early hour, ws» fit heard you talking this morning about planting spring gardens.

Others have borrowed the necessary’ money to keep them in school, i But then there ar* those who are not quite so fortunate as to have an account to fall back qn/ j. The embarrassing point of the situation ‘is that checks will- not arrive until November 1, at the very>eariiest. According to Taylor Wilkins, checks sibouH arrive November 1, covering 18 days of September and the whole month of October. There will be the usual slip-ups, some veterans will not receive their checks on that date. Instead, they will have to go without until later in November or poasibly till the first of December. 4 s -— 0Every semester such, is th« case. New- to Letters comers to A. & M. are faced with six eight weeks without checks. The going tough. If you don't believe us. just ask a veteran who is entering college for the first time, or oqp who did not go to school during the summer and had his schooling inter rupted. To combat that situation, The Battalion proposes that a credit system be initiated at the mess hall, whereby veterans could sign for meal books upon presentation of proper identification. In this way vets could forestall poverty and famine until their checks arrive. Alao, we suggest that veterans whose checks have not arrived be issued waiver slips from the fiscal office. If such a system could not be devised. jk rhaps a similar credit plan jcould be In stalled. “A frbnd in need Is a friend indeed”. • LSI PRAISES Dear A|ffies: I'm no school official, just a stu dent heri at LSU, but I would like to toll you how much we enjoyed harinjr you all here at our univer sity.
