By ROGER COSLETT
Louisiana sunshine, sheets of it,
poured down about me as I stood
waiting for a LSU campus bus.
“Aggie hop in and we'll take
you out to the campus,” ifame the
call from a passing Ford.
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.

will be the main theme of the sixth,
annual conference of junior col

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

the meeting. The success of Dr.
Bethel in adapting vocational pro
grams of his college to the de

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.
