When a piece of sheetrock or a window glass is broken, the individuals responsible for the breakage are assesed what price the college deems necssary to pay for the labor and materials used in repair. - At present, a bill of $164 is owed to the! college. Offi- ; cials=cannot put their finger on any one person, nut this debt must be paid because of excessive damage to the special study halls. The question arises, “Who’s going to pay it?” Of course the inconsiderate person who spends his spare time kicking *- a hole in the sheetrock wall, cutting initials in a desk, or marking on the wall is the one who should pay. But do you think that everyone guilty of such misdemeanors as this will confess and pay for what they have damaged? Hardly so. i; In one special study hall alone, the B.&C.u. Department estimated $94 in damage. This startling figure does not in clude the light bulbs replaced almost daily or the new steps constructed at the entrance to most rooms. ! The amount must be paid. Unless class officers or class members can offer another means of doing so, the money will be taken from the funds of the class. 1 Perhaps Annex students won’t he so quick to carry out their small means of destruction now that they know that ■the inevitable result will be. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Freshmen Vote Tuesday For Senate Offices Annex students will vote Tuesday night for three fresh men to fill vacancies now ex isting in the Student Senate. Bill Moss and Roy Nance, Sen ate election committeemen, an nounced tpday. Ballots; will be cast for senator from the veterans as Well as' in the First and Second •Battalions. Applications for candidacy may be filed in the Housing Office at the Annex from 8:00 Monday .morning, until 1:00 Tuesday. Vot ing will be done Tuesday evening with the 1st sergeants of the re spective companies in charge. A. E. Pavey Jr. of the 1st Bat talion, Mike B, Mooney of the 2nd N Battalion, and Jim W. Patterson of the Veterans were the men .that formerly held the positions in the organization. 1 AT run-off election will be con ducted Wednesday if necessary, the election committeemen added. . ■ ^ 4 Edwards Ends RE Services "If a man will! mold his charac ter after the holy faith that has made America, there will be no fear of -the futuVe,” Rev. Hayden Edwards, told Annex students in his morning address yesterday. “If there was: ever a time for people to build a character and a personality, it is today. The fu ture of the worW may depend on this,” said the Fort Worth minis ter who is currently conducting Re ligious Emphasis Services at the Apnex. | Rev.

I'll Louisiana's contribution to the Bugler Adds Spike Jones Technique of February, 1.; all is quiet It is the ninth 1950 at ten-forty p.ni on the A&M annex. It is time for tatoo,’’ says fish Joe T. Dillard. ’T like tatoo,’’ he adds. “ it’s such a soothing melo dy. Ah, here it Is now." Any resemblance between the collection of sounds that followed and the bugle call tatoo Is purely co-incidental. We were momentary stunned by an assortment- .of bells, buzzes, whistles, and stfne sound from a trumpet that would have made Spike Jonea turn green with envj. Later, when we had recovered our wlta, we were all in agreement that that was the best tatoo We had ever heard. The next time such music (? ) Is played, however, we would like to know ahead of time so we con prepare for dancing In the streets. After all, a little Jazz at night Isn’t such i a bad Idea. Deadline Today For Nominating ’53 Sweetheart Final plans for the Fresh man Ball were discussed last night by class officers as they met to pick judges for the se lection of the Sweetheart of the Freshman Class. Pictures of girls to be entered in the contest will not be accepted after 5 this afternoon, Mrs. Ann Hilliard, director of the Student Center, announced. j Preliminary judging of. the oeau- tles is expected to be completed early next week, but the winner will not be named until the first intermission of the dance.
