Tribulations of A&M Veterans

If you think you’ve got troubles,

the man who not only handles his
own but also those of thousands
of other people. His name is Tay

His official title is Veterans Ad

Marriage is Held
Miss Pauline Helen Briehan of
Troup and Cleo Collis Whitlock of
Dallas were married in Dallas last

Whitlock is a senior Architec
ture major who lived in Walton
last year. He was graduated from
Adamson High School in Dallas and

The couple will be at home here

down the long green from Uncle
Sam at the end of every month.
Sitting in his office at the west
end of the main floor of Goodwin
Hall, Wilkins could easily be mis
taken for a cigar manufacturer’s
advertisement, for seldom is he
found without a stogie either
clamped in his mouth or within
handy reach.
But take away the cigar and
you’ll find that he is the man who
makes the final decisions on the
regulations governing ex - GI’s.

A&M’s veterans are handled
through his office.
But, as if this were not enough
to keep him busy, Wilkins found
time yast year to coach the fresh
man basketball team. Then he
took over the reins of the Aggie
softball team and helped them pile
up an impressive record.

Freshman Band Will Ride To
Cowtown, Houston, Austin
The Freshman Band of the Class of ’53 may turn out to
be the most traveled freshman band in the history of Bryan
Field Annex.
This fact became apparant when Lt. Col. E. V. Adams,
director of the Aggie Band, announced plans for formation of
Lthis year’s Freshman Band.
Present plans for the Fish Band
The Cushing Memorial Library
located across the street from the
Academic Building on the main
campus houses a collection of more
than 156,000 books, documents’ and
bound periodicals.
Approximately 37 people are
employed to complete the proces
ses necessary to prepare these
books for your use.
The building, which was com
pleted in the summer of 1930, was
constructed at a cost of about
$215,000 dollars. It was named for
Colonel E. B. Cushing, ’89, former
president of the board of directors.
As you enter the building there
is a large lobby which is used for
exhibition purposes. Jackets of
new books are often displayed
there to advertise library addi
tions. Two oil paintings, one of
Dr. T. O. Walton and one of Dr.
W. B. Bizzell, hang on the lobby
walls.
Newspaper Room
The newspaper room on the
right of the lobby contains racks
for many nationally known papers
as well as papers from every sec
tion of the state. In this room are
the more popular magazines of
which Life, Time, Esquire and
United States News are but a few.
The technical periodical room,
where current issues of technical
journals are kept, is directly
across from the newspaper room.
Also located on the first floor
are the Acquisitions Department,
which handles orders for new
books, and the bindery.
On the second floor of the build
ing are the loan desk and the
reference room, together with a
file of all the items which are kept
in the library.
Library Assistants
There are library assistants
available in the reference room
to aid students with research work
and in locating the books they
need.
The Reader’s Guide, The Agri
cultural Index, and the Industrial
Arts Index are kept *in the refer
ence room together with technical
reference books for every subject.
The music room, which is well
equipped with a custom designed
phonograph and a large collection
of classical music, is located on
the third floor. An assistant is
there to aid students in selecting
and playing the music.
The reserve book room, where
books designated by professors are
kept on file, is also on the third
floor. These reserved books are
available for library and over
night use. In addition, collections
of books for required reading are
kept in this room.
Asbury Browsing Room
The Asbury Browsing Room,
where books for recreational read
ing are kept, is also on the third
floor. There are easy chairs and
comfortable furnishings to con
tribute to a student’s enjoyment
of leisure reading.
A limited, but selected library
is maintained at the Bryan Field
Annex. It is located in the Admin-

include furnished transportation
for the corps trips to Fort Worth
and to Houston. The band will
also make a trip, with all trans
portation furnished, to the Aggie
Fish, Texas University Shorthorn
football game in Austin.
In addition to these three trips,
Col. Adams said, there is a strong
possibility that the Fish Band will
be taken to play for the Fresh
man football game between A&M
and Rice.
Last year’s Freshman Band,
numbering 88 men, was named
the outstanding military unit at
the Annex. And, when the mem
bers of the Annex Band joined
with the 144 members of> the
campus band they constituted
the largest college band in the
nation.
Only one member of last year’s
Freshman Band failed to sign up
for the campus band to be formed
this Fall.
Col. Adams announced that no
tryouts will be required for the
Freshman Band. This will be un
necessary, he said, because there
will be no need to limit the band
membership because of any hous
ing shortage.
Any Freshman who wants to
apply for the band may do so
