Letters To The Editor
I
WELL DESERVED PRAISE
Editor, Battalion:
May I submit a few words of
appreciation for the available as
sistance |jh, accomplishing such
' events as banquets and dances here
on our campus? 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.
