A Debt to Be Paid . . *
■ : T ' 1 ' ' -j ■' j:
It has been the practice heretofore to coflect the costs
of any damages done to college property from the person or
persons involved. * i
. 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

Senate Offices
Annex students will vote
Tuesday night for three fresh
men to fill vacancies now ex
isting in the Student Senate.

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. Edwards! has been holding
two services a day in the Chapel
at the Annex as well as personal
visits and conferences with the stu

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

Education Aided
By Student Labor
“Fifty-two student labor jobs are
now fjiled by forty-seven Annex
freshrrjan”, W. G. Breazeale, dean
of students at the Annex, an
nounced.
The i jobs which range from
working in the mess hall to grad
ing accjounting papers, enable those
studenjts working under student
labor a means of earning; extra
moneyi Under this program.it is
unnecitHsary for a cadet to miss
classes simply because of a! badly
needecj Job that conflicts! with
scheduled hours.
The mess hall alone eijnploys
twenty-eight boys with an average
monthly payroll of $750. Addition
al employment, giich sa mo^le om-
ployeoa, rnesjiengers, maintenance
workers, bus drivers, and store and
department clerks, has also been
secured for those needing' extra
money. In addition to these stu

cessions providing a source Hof in

thirsty freshmen, teachers, and of
ficers gathered to watch the open
ing of the Intramural Boxing

tion of the card presented by
cheering the fights wildly. The

pable group of instructors and in

them! in rapid-fire ordeif.
Of] the 22 bouts the last proved
to be the best performed.! W. S.
Highsmith, Flight 11, won a split-
decision over Scott of Company 2.
Scott was clearly the winner of
the first round, but Highsmith
came back fast with a barrage of
jabs ion the in-fighting to outscore
the ‘(Conn-like” Scott.
TKO’s Registered
Two TKO’s brought the crowd
to a state of frenzy. Company 4’s
J. EJ Hall was very impressive in
flooring Tanner of Flight 12 twice
before Referee Segrist Stepped be
tween the two fighters to award
the bout to Hall. Reyep of Com
pany 1 entered the second round
of his battle with j. B.! Sammons
slightly groggy and before the ref
