C. TRAIL In case your $6.66 for inciden tals is running out, there is plenty of money for everyone in the small concrete house on the west side of the Student Co-op. All you have to do is get into the building, get the money, and get out of the country. Simple enough, eh? It is easier said than done. That innocent, apparently vulnerable edifice is none other than the Col lege Station State Bank’s vault, Vice-President Harold Sullivan, said that forced entrance is prac tically impossible. “The vault is built of rein forced concrete, and it has the most modern time-lock door McLennan Club Schedules Meet The Waco-McLennan County Club will meet at 7:15 p. m., Feb ruary 9 in Room 301, Goodwin Hall.

In addition, there is another vault inside, also of the time-lock variety, which houses all the cash,” Sullivan said. When the bank was first built, the vault was permanently install ed, and the building was to be con structed around it. However, the government froze the necessary materials, and a prefabricated hut was temporarily used. Now the materials are available, and construction has begun. “With good w’eather,” Sullivan said, “we should be able to move into the new office by the first of April.” Plans for the new building call for a 40 x 60 feet concrete tile building with a mezzanine, which will contain a lounge and exe cutive offices. In the meantime, business is transacted in a real estate office two doors east of the former of fice. Money is carried over every morning by armed guards who pro tect the depositors interests twen ty-four hours a day. Actually, Sullivan should double his vault guard. It is quite ap parent that something is in the wind, because the civil engineering department has revealed that CE 305, strength of materials, has had a record enrollment.
