President Gibb Gilchrist was allowed to say a few words . . . written for him by students. A principal speaker imported for the -skirt. Colorful men u.s, implored “Please don’t grab food off the table — there will be plehity for everyone. Guests are asked to watch their conduct.” A faculty committee, composed of students, was appointed to try a student for numerous indiscre tions, including the importjjing of a strip teaser named QueOnie to aid him in a campus political ca,m- paign. The five-man committee held its meeting at a table in the center of the. hall and considered charges aga.nst the accused who was, as yet. not present. The committee chairman at length detei mined that the culprit would be expelled by a \|ote of 3-a-Week Batt This Summer p For the first time in the his tory of A&M, The Battalion will be a tri-weekly paper during the summer session.
