i i F- ' / Battalion Page 2 The Aggieland Inn — A Faculty Club No decision has beerAtpade yet as to possible deposition of Aggieland Inn once the Memorial Student Center has been opened. Several proposals are being, con sidered. One of them would, if approved and acted upon, turn the Inn into a fac ulty club catering to bachelor staff mem bers. It is regrettable that there are no bet ter facilities for use Of staff and faculty members than those now provided in the IfMCA. The Y is an old building. Rooms being rented to staff members are not modern, convenient, nor numerous enough. Many of the ‘Y’s’ former func tions and activities have been taken over by other offices’ on the campus because they have grown too big for the ‘Y* fac ilities. Consequently, the ‘Y’ has not kept pace—probably through lack of necessary funds—with the growth of the college. Even with a complete renovation it could not offer all fhe necessary facilities and services needed by our present staff. The Aggieland Inn, on the other hand, has greater potential. It would make an ideal faeulty club. The rooms are plea sant. There are adequate dining and lunch room facilities on the campus the new except the student center.

An- ? nouncement of this change of status for Camp Hood will be forthcoming from the US Army general staff, the Telegram says. f ■/. V. Summer camp Aggies, and GI’s past and present who recall personal experi ences on the military reservatiion of Camp Hood will receive this news with mixed emotions. Northerners who were stationed there have been loud in their denunciation of that camp and the state of which it is a part. More than a fe Texans, had to rally surprising cci to* find heart enough to’remain proud * that portion of Texas. . But for what it was intended, Camp Hood has, and Fort Hood will serve this nation well. Built in 1942, Camp Hood trained hundreds of thousands of men for World War II, and is training men for possible future conflicts. At one time 90,000 men were stationed on the post, how the establishment numbers around 20,000. '■ • • In flat plans country, Kansas City is not immune to volcanic activity.

General Bradley will not be the highest ranking military- figure ever to visit the cam pus. Commander - dn - Chief Franklin Ip. Roosevelt visited the campus in 1936. And Gen eral of the Armies (a five- star general) Dwight D. Ei senhower was the speaker at the April ;21, 1947 muster in Kyle Field! In attendance were some other high ranking gen erals including at least one general, some lieutenant gen erals, major generals and brigadier generals.
