Trophy Case in Student Center
Small From Shortage of Funds
By BUDDY LUCE
A&M’s trophy winners in the
next few years may have to start
keeping their cups and medals _ in
their dormitory rooms, according
to Wayne Stark, director of the
Memorial Student Center.
The trophy case in the plans of
the new student center will be sad
in size because of the shortage of
funds in building the construction.
It won’t even be large enough to
hold the trophies that have already
been won.
The student center trophy case
will occupy a position on one of
the walls in the game room design
ed for playing cards, dominoes,
chess and the like. The case will be
29 feet long, 3V2 feet high, and 1
foot three inches deep.
The old trophy case in the
academic building with its anci
ent metalwork is jammed with
relics of bygone Aggie victories
on different fields of battle.
Packed in sardine can fashion,
the old case reached its capa
city years ago.
The new trophy case to be in
stalled in the student center will
have to be used for trophies not
over two or three years old. If
Aggies don’t decrease their trophy
winning rate seriously, two or
three years winnings will keep the
case filled all the time.
An outdoor trophy case has been
suggested by the athletic depart
ment. This case would be construc
ted in front of Kyle Field under
a roof of some sort and would be
seen by visitors and Aggies alike
when entering the stadium.
The only other solution to the
trophy case problem lies in some
type of money raising scheme in
view of a trophy case fund. In
most student centers the trophy
case or room is the result of some
kind of donation or live-wire pro
motion effort.
The student center could have
been designed to incorporate a
trophy room, but the general
trophy-consciousness of Aggies
was thought not to merit such
consideration. In order that the
display should be at least partly
conspicious, it was decided that
it should be included in one of
the more frequented rooms of
entertainment afforded by the
center.
So, until such time as some gen
erous soul or group of benefactors
feels behooved to provide funds
for a more spacious trophy case in
the new student center, the loving
cups may have to be lodged with
the lovers.
Parking Plans Set
For Military Ball
To help alleviate the anticipated
parking problem in the vicinity of
Sbisa Hall during the Military
Ball, February 12, Fred Hickman,
chief of Campus Security, has sug
gested a parking plan for use by
students.
It is suggested that Military
Walk and the space in front of the
Aggieland Inn be kept clear for
the use of the many visiting digni
taries. The Academic parking lot
will be open for the use of stu
dents, as will the other streets
around Sbisa Hall.
‘Greedy Commercializin’
Large Stadium In Houston
Opposed by Rice Thresher
By CHUCK MAISEL
There has been much argument
on several Southwest campuses of
late concerning the merits of mem
bership in Who’s Who Among
Students In American Colleges.
TCU started the talk when they
withdrew their membership be
cause they felt that the thing was
not an honor, but actually a way
of getting to the students for
much of the long green. Students
chosen are expected to buy direc
tories and expensive keys.
TSCW’s editorial column in
the Daily Lass-0 adds the latest
comment by saying that they
are all for Who’s Who. The
Lass-0 editor believes that it is
an honor to be chosen and that
no pressure is brought to bear
to. buy anything. She believes
that TSCW students should be
mature enough to make the
choice without “being victims of
commercialism.”
A&M pulled stakes from the na
tional organization several years
ago.
★
The Rice Thresher is noted for
its bold editorial policy. In one of
its latest, the editor lashes out at
the city of Houston. He refers to
the plans to build the 110,000 seat
stadium in that city and the glee
ful cries of the city fathers that
the structure may lure Notre
Dame to Houston to play Rice.
The Thresher condemns all this
saying that it is “one more ex
ample of the greedy commercial
ism which has come to dominate
college football throughout the
nation.”
The editor is particularly peev
ed that no reference has been
made at any time to the best
interests of Rice Institute as a
school, “the desires of the stu
dents, or the attitude of the
school officials.”
★
Students complaining about
the housing situation at A&M
should take a look at what’s go
ing on at Baylor. Three Baylor
students—Charlie Allen, Charles
Erwin, and John Kavanaugh—
all of New York have built up
an army surplus tent in the
woods out side of Waco and es
tablished living quarters. Their
first time in Texas, they assum
ed the weather of the Lone Star
state to be mild so they didn’t
buy any stove. One norther from
the Panhandle changed their
minds.
The men admit that living in a
tent is no paradise, but at least
“Impolite Manor,” as they call it,
is absolutely rent free.
An all-church dinner, preparatory to the coming of Re
ligious Emphasis Week Guest Willard Collins, will be held
tomorrow night at 7 by the A&M Church of Christ, John B.
Fowler, minister, said Tuesday.
The banquet will be given at the Scout Little House.
i ^ Trine Starnes, minister of the
Columbus Avenue Church of Christ
in Waco, will be guest speaker for
the occasion, Fowler said.
A committee of more than 50
ladies are preparing a complete
banquet dinner to be attended by
approximately a hundred students,
£>( <1 student wives, and residents. The
mil'llflQ-vr b^quet is expected to be the larg-
kJ UlilUt y est church-student function ever
J sponsored by the A&M Church of

three selections by a male quartet,
