That’s tjie observation made by George A. Long, the man in charge of the student labor office. Long should know, % too—one of his main duties is lending money tjb Aggies. Through his doors what f could well be the nslstantly broke bunch ege men in the nation. Housed in the student labor of' ^ices are three loan funds with a ban $3,000. Many times that mount of money finds its way to nd from students’ pockets each ear in the i form of short term loans. j . Last year, for instance, Long began lending from a capital of “fjj 12,797.10. In the 12-month per iod between Sept. 1, 1948 and Aug. 31, 1949 he forwarded or made 2,430 loans amounting to $36,437.37 or almost 12 times the figure he started with. The three loan funds from which the needed cash is doled out were all started by donations. The most well-known 6f these, and the old- jest, is the! Davis “Buck” IFund started April 1, 1943 by W. K. {Davis of the. class of ’16. Davis originally donated $5. The fund nowf contains $621.61. The Ernestine Gaber, Loan Fund was begun July 1, 1944 with a balance of $401.47. It now has a balance of $3,326.56. The fund was turned over to A&M by the B’Nai B’Rith Hillel -Foundation through Mrs. Esther Taubenhaus. Since that time it has been spon sored mainly by Mr. Leo Gaber of Houston. The most recently instituted of the funds is named in honor of Liicy Jane Breuzeale of Crockett, Texas, who was the mother of two Aggies and u Tessie. She was born two days before A&M was found ed. Her son, "Brezzy" Breazeale is now Assistant to the Dean of Men ut the Annex.
