It is very gratify ing to b'ej able to organize and plan a barjquet - dance for a large group and have at one’s disposal Sbisa, or whichever part of it is required, or the Slab, or Hensel Park, or a number of other facili ties. And it is even more gratify ing to encounter complete coopera- tipn (and more) from those indi viduals in charge of these various facilities. Oqp sincere thanks to Mr. Pennis- ton and Plaul Rodriquez and their crew; to Dr. Dan Russell, whose rose garden has embellished many festivities besides ours; to the de partment heads who lent us their large fan*; to the landscape art department, who were so generous with their pot plants—and didn’t say a wojid about the broken pot; to the swell Aggieland Orchestra and Bill Turner, who culls for a Paul Jones at the most opportune moments; and everyone else who helped make our Veterinary Medi« cine banquet and ball the success it was. Very sincerely, Harry G. Doran, Jr. > Chairman, Dance Com. AGGIELAND? Editor, The Battalion: Last year there was big talk about changing the name of Col lege Station to Aggieland.
