By H. C. MICHALAK .
Born in Bryan and a veteran of
years service in Sbisa Hall,
Pjaul Rodriguez has many pleasant
emories of the Aggies of .old.
“ en he first began work back in
1928, Paul recalls that the Cadets
e the old type wrap leggins.
Since then those leggins have been
abandoned and the dress uniform
undergone a complete change.
’J A. Duncan was the man lori
om Paul initially began to work
and he has s.nce worked under Ho-
and now Pennis^on.
^ “Back in the told days,” says
aul, ‘when Sgt, King was in
barge of the Volunteer. icadet
waiters I used to Marvel at the
way the Cadets marched up to
the messhall door, pulled otf
their hats, yelled, and made a
dash into the mess hall to get
that cush.” There is still some
semblence of that over' at Dun-
Can Hall, but Paul says that it
is not like the days of old.
i i "V ' V '
Paul’s! first job was assistant to
the linen room keeper and from
that beginning he has risen to
head wauer. his job how is to su
pervise operations on the floor of
the mess hall and banquets, or re
ceptions. In fact whenever any-
'iing goes on in Sbisa he js usually
hand.
uring the war when there were
ottly 39 men on the job he man
aged to get all of the necessary
work done to" feed the Cadets,
Army, Navy, and Marine student
complements, totaling about 4600
rqen, their three daily family style
ideals. IK ', , ,
, Alter the war- when veterans
came to the campus, however, the
iqajority of the new students were
fed up with family style meals of
the sort dished up in Army mess
halls, so a change t® the cafeteria
system was inaugurated to give
them more chance for food choice.
Before Fauf felecame a straw
.vKnojss in 1933, one of his job**
was to fire the battery of grid-
diCK used to cook the hundreds
Of hotcakes needed for a break
fast. He used apple boxes to
kindle the wood tires. Later elec
tric stoves ware installed, hut
After a time the kitchen equip
ment again changed. Natural
gas is now used,

Paul likes music and he has seen
and; heard marly big name bands
such as Jim Lunsford, Phil Harris,
Duke. Fllington, Shep Fields, Russ
Moi^an, Glen Gray and his Casa
Llmfe Boys and Carmen Cavellero.
T|jc filming j of '"We’ve Never
Beed Licked” ip 1942 is an event
whidh clearly stands out in Paul’s
memory. While ithe troupe was out
on location in , the river bottom,
they would take food to them and

Paul started to work here with
the idea[; of working ,hi> way

however, he has five boys at least
