A strip teaser has invaded the

lepe, thanks to a skit performed
by the A&M Press Club.
| At its annual banquet the other

The ; banquet, traditionally an
! affair devoted to ribbing the fae-

ed by more than 1(H), members of
tin any organization by a majority vote A * M publications, College deans
• and their yives, and a few off-
the-eampus foreigners.
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

Students iriterested in working
on the summer Battalion are
asked to come by the Battalion
office now.
Positions for reporters, staff
wi iters, feature writers, and
