Advertisin? Society’s first place
cap for general excellence that
we now boast of in 12 point type
next to the name plate.
The honors stacked on Bond
didn’t end with the paper. In addi
tion to being a continual distin
guished student, he was a member
of the Arts and Sciences Council;
the Student Life Committee; the
honorary fraternities Phi Kappa
Phi and Phi Eta/Sigma; the Stu
dent Life Committee; a student
senator; and elected Who’s Who
on the campus.
, With all his extra-curricular ac
tivities, Kenneth still finished a
four year course in three and a
half years. He reached the top of
The Battalion ladder so fast he
had no place to climb his last
year, so he took over the job of
editing the A&M System News.
Naturally he made them a bang
up editor. Bond never believes in
being satisfied with anything but
the best.
There have been several times
when Kenny’s persistence, and
drive have hurt him. His unswerv
ing desire to be the best in every
thing he did oftimes cut into his
diplomacy. I used to spend two
hours a week soothing over peo
ple who wanted to punch Kenneth
in the nose because of the vigor
which he took up the reform and
•Bond Leaves-
| improvement cudgel. Bull
1 other compliment to his
! of persuasion, Kenny’s
never got him into a swine
His antagonists, usually
in large droves,' frequently
their coats off, or invited 1 him
into the street, but by the
they got prepared physically,
had them snowed mentally,
rapidly coming around to his
of view.
Those of us hers on the pa]
M
think Kenny will go a long way
in the working world. His red
hair may .get him into an oc
casional repeat of those campus
adjective seaaions, bat that un
quenchable desire to be the beat
In everything will be a terrific
asset anywhere.
Kenneth has another advantage
on the rest of our Batt crew. He
has a fine wife to help him and
two wonderful kids to inspire him.
I agree that it’s a long way from
the wheat fields of Pampa to the
top of the very scientific and com
plex journalism profession. And
I’ll •further agree that it would
require vary outstanding condi
tions for a man to make the
jump.
But on the other hand, Kenneth
Zane Bond is a very exceptional
fellow, ; j

Ex-War Prisoners
Will Get Benefits
Washington, Feb. 8——All
Americans who were_ prisoners of
war in Germany and Japan will get
$1 for every day they x spent in
prison, under a ruling by the;
War Claims Commission today.
The ruling stated that all pri
soner of war camps in Germany
and Japan were sub-standard. The
War Claims Act provides for the
$l!-a-day payment for days a POW;
did not get food of the “quality
and quantity” established by the
Geneva Convention of 1-929.

The telephone rotes yMpoyhowobigjobtodo
Just as a housewife must make the family money cover continued firing costs, so must the
telephone company have increased revenue* to pay its employees salaries and wages
demanded by today's standard of living.
The Fair Labor Standard Act, (Wage and Hour Law) passed by the 81st Congress, makes
necessary an immediate adjustment of telephone rates. Wages paid
ators have increased more than 200% during the past seven yearn.
Law, however, gives these switchboard operators another increase
other wage increases necessary.
Telephone rates, generally, hove not increased since 1925, and 1W» wage increase cannot
be absorbed by the telephone company with present revenues.
Good service depends on the ability of the telephone company la
ployees and adequate facilities. Your cooperation Is urgently requested

a refreshing pause from the study grind, oij on
