Final Step Before Construction The Country Fair Is tlie final step lending to the actual construction of the clubhouse, a project that stretches back several years for the dub. It was in 1944 during the war that i>. A. "Doc” Lipscomb, prominent College Station druggist, proposed that the Brazos County A&M Club take the necessary steps to build a clubhouse of its own. They will be the first club to own their own club building among the 157 organized A&M Clubs, through out the country. J. E. "Jocko” Rob erts, manager of the main station farm at A&M College, was the president of the club when the plan was initiated by Lipscomb. Lipscomb’s proposal back in 1944 Was met with instant enthu siasm by the members, and he was named the chairman of the build ing committee. When World War H ended, the committee was able to make concrete plans for the building. Committee Members ."Scrip" Mitchell, Bryan insur ance executive; Henehel Burgess, College Station contractor; and Martelle Dansby and Fred L Cav- itt, Bryan businessmen were named members of the committee to serve with Lipscomb. j ( i ] Brooks Martin, one of Brazos County’s leading architects, de vised 'the original plans for the clubhouse which were approved by dm Members.’ \\ An original fund of some $5,000 for construction costs was gained through individual contributions and gifts of A&M men and friends of the ,dub and the college in the Brazos county area. Teams of club members made a systematic sur vey of the area, calling on hiind- reds of persons in the canvassing. Father of County Fair P. L. "Pinky” Downs, Jr., as sistant to the director of Informa tion at the A&M College, was the "father” of the Country Fair which will attract hundreds of Brazos County citizens and A&M students this weekend. Festivities begin Friday at 5 p. m, and at noon on Saturday. The Texas A&M-LSD football gome at Baton Rouge can be heard at the Fair by a special radio to be pro vided Saturday night. Refreshments and food of all kinds can be bought from the concessions along the midway.

By ROGER COSLETT Football is an American game, and they say that it takes art American to understand it; but it doesn’t take an American to pre- dictj it. Samir Shadid. an Arab from Palestine, proved that point when he won one of the places iu last weeks quarterback contest Shadid went to his first foot ball game fully expecting to see an American version of soccer. This first game happened t) be an inter-squad game at Kansa^ State. Not understanding all the pushing and tackling thdt was taking place he. left in the first quarter. The second game he saw was ex plained to him by an Ainerican friend. Sincelthat time Shadid has been an ardent fan. All told he has seen twelve games and has just radio for the explicit hearing the games he to attend. ! impression of the American game has changed. "I realize now that footbal is game of apeed. skill and Uon and not power alone,’ says. For a man who haa been in this country since jFejhruahy 1946 he has an amazing cbmidand of footbal! terminology. Football is noti.]the only thing Shadid has found of interest in America. "I had heard about Ani- erica’s high standard of living, hut when I actually saw fqr myself the conditions, I was amaSed.” The quiet spoken Arab continued on to say he admired America most for its individual freedom. Shadid is at A&M working to ward a M. S. degree. He received his B. S. degree from Kansas State. “I admire A&M for the spirit Hhe student body shows and am ticularly interested in the cur- has to offer nu n in my remarked Shadid It has- * n't taken him long to acquire the Americartxeye for women'because he was qukk to add that the nb- sense of co-eds from t le cam pus is quite noticeable.

When asked to what he attribut ed his win last week he said, "Most ly to accounts he had read in pre season predictions and from what he had heard of LSU while at Kansas State. His boss back bome.was a Kansas State graduate—this probably ex plains why he chose Kansas State at. first ] .j |■'][ |j I Although he has no car the prize he won was from the Bryan Motor Company.
