That was my first introduction to what one senior Aggie termed “good ole Souther^ hospitality.” My hosts were not content with in the last of four district-wide ; merely taking me out to the cam- Courts af Honor. |p US , they saw <to it that I was p 1 j j given a room and transportation | before leaving me. Any Aggie coula tell you a simi- jlar story. , Some were taken in [and fed, also. If LSU were in the South west conference they would be stiff ccmpetition for the sports manship trophy. The only com plaints voiced were about the rain and the roads. Most compliments concerned the LSU co-eds. Each hostess at the open house, which was given to welcome the Aggies to LSU, seem ed to know at least three Aggies by name ahd had a ready smile for all. NTSC Students Caught in Act Wichita Falls, Tex., Oct 11 (AP)—Hardin College’s Stu dent Council today appealed for leniency for North Texas State College students expell ed for a pre-football game raid on the Hardin campus last Friday. Five carloads off stjudejits from the Denton school splashed green paint over buildings and injured one student in the ealrly morning raid. Fifteen were caught at a De catur, Texas, roadblock; and ex pelled from school. Fourteen other NTSC students who took part still may be disciplined. » i In a telqgram to President Oliv er Monk of the NTSC student coun cil, Hardin College’s council said: “We recommend and earnestly request that leniency be granted those students who vi$ited our campus and that reconsideration be given making it possible for immediate reinstatement upon sofne basis. We feel we are joined in this suggestion by our colleagues and our citizenship.” The Wichita Falls Record-News published a series of sidewalk in terviews on the matteri Most of those interviewed felt j expulsion was too drastic. The telegram was signed by Joe Martin, president of the Hardin Student Council, and other council members. Monk, the NTSC council presideht, had expressed his regrets in a between-halves address at last Friday night’s football game, \yhich Hardin won.

According to Dr. T. D. Brooks, chairman of the conference, around 160 people representing 60 junior colleges in Texas will attend the meeting. ■ . j y ' . i Lawrence L. Bethel, director of the YMCA Junior College at New Haven, Conn., will be consultant for the meeting. The success of Dr. Bethel in adapting vocational pro grams of his college to the de mands of local industry has been widely recognized, said Dr. Brooks. The YMCA Junior College is af filiated with Yale University. The conference will concern it self with terminal vocational work, including the training for business. volunteers. Freshmen seemed to be best represented as hostesses. Evelyn Ellis estimated that she had danced with at least, twentjj- five Aggies in the first two hours alone. Evelyn, too, was a blond. Even the male students spoke well of the Aggies. Bill Alford, sophomore student,, spoke for many when he said, “we want to play A&M some more football §;ames. The Aggies come in great er force to our campus than any other school we play,” Alford con tinued. Many of the students were not aware of the fact that this was the last game in the series between A&M and LSU. When asked what she thought of Aggies, Betty Serpas, soohomore from New Orleans, said, “They just was tb bo. the last game she: ex claimed, “It can’t be—we’ll die; wo look forward to having you alj down each year,"; A Senior co-ed, Mary McG sighed and said, “Fine," in expre; ing her opinioij of the[ Aggii She t<j>o was crushed at 1 the thouc of this being the last game between the rijvo schools.! ’ : i [,| 7 ||l: !] Adelyn Dixon, senior speech m)!* jor from New Orleans, tore her self away from three cadetf long enough to say that this was her fourth LSU-A&M game mid lb® was sure that both schools.
