“Dosie Do and around you go”
is - the call that echoes back and
forth in Shiloh Hall every second
jand fourth Tuesday of the month
when the Foot and Fiddle Club
swings into square dance time.
This unique cjub, wose member
ship consists of approximately. 30
A&M professors and their. wives,
was one of the pioneers in brmg-
... - ^
ng old time square dancing
to the Brazos Botton country. Or
ganized in the summer, of 1947,
the 'Foot afid Fiddle Club has
watched and helped? the rise in
popularity, of “grab ! your partner
and-'swing her ‘round.”

At Last Meeting
Henderson Shuffler; Director of
Information and - College Publica-
tibns K told the Kiwanis Club at its
noon luncheon meeting Tuesday
that his job was to disseminate
information of the college by press,
radio,-'and word , of mouth.
The speaker traced the workin;
of the different college, depart*;
ments which disseminate new^ say
ing that news which leaver these
departments is “factual fpt - as "we
kqow it to be”. We are hot inter
ested in propaganda. We propoke
to and are sending out factual news
about A&M College, which the peo
ple, of Texas are entitled^ to know.
We .tell the news services, when
asked about news of A&M, just
what we know, and if we do not
know, we find Out We answer
Questions directly, y
Shuffler urged his audience,
many of whom are connected with
A&M, to let the publicity office
know the news of their depart
ments. . - *
“We want to publicize the doihgl
of your particular department not
only to its credit, but to the credit
of the, college as well,” he said.
Sid Loveless, president, presid
ed, and J. B. McGuire introduced
the speaker. Welcome E. Wright
welcbmed the guests and visitors.
B. F. Vance, state PMA director,
will be the principal speaker at
next week’s regular meeting.; .
and present head of the club is
Lee Thompson, professor in the
Mechanical Engineering Depart-
rfent of the college. Lee was
born in;the hills and mountains
of Arizona, where the art of
Square dancing was never lost.
He an<f his wife trip the light
fantastic in real old western
■ fete. T
' Thompson is also the “caller”
for the club Ranees. To make sure
that he gets to dance n little him
self, Lee has taught the near lost
art of “calling” to one or two of
the other club members. Dr. B. R

a report of how at le/st ten stu
dents felt about /identification
cards. Though d majority of the
students polled favored jthe use
of such cards, the Senate decided
