'-Lane Bowling Alley Heads Indent Center Sports List I The result of Price Smith's in terest in bowling is that he is now manager of the games department. Upon Smith's graduation from A&M in August, 1948 he became assistant manager of Campus Cor ner and the Cave. ! In turning his eyes towards bowling and by sponsoring the A&Jfi bowling team year before that, he wound up working for the Memorial Student Center. The games department will offer ^bowling, table tennis, and shuffle boa&l. Smith plans to have enough bowling leagues to keep the eight illeys busy. Leagues for students dll *be organized first and then for outsiders if there is still room. *lans have been drawn for an ad- litional eight bowling alleys adja- sent to the ones alreadv cor»stvnr»f- ed if they are needed, and Smith believes they will be. “Best Alleys’* The alleys, which the construc tion foreman claimed to be “the nicest ‘all-around’ alleys in this part of the country,” were con structed and furnished by a lead ing bowling company, the Bruns wick Balke Collender Company. They feature the Brunswick Cen tennial furniture of the most mod ern design. A Brunswick range finder is installed in the alleys for spot bowlers. Taking the place of the usual circular ball stop, a cradle ball stop will eliminate the danger of mashed fingers. For persons wanting their own special bowling ball, a Brunscom- grip, and span is on the counter. To detect any fouling, a Bruns wick tele-foul device, operated by a photoelectric cell, will turn on a red light and ring a bell if any one steps over the foul line. For the non-bowlers there will be six table tennis tables and shuffle boards. Smith plans to have some table tennis tourna ments and is also going to work up a league in shuffle board. A native of Frost, Texas, Smith started in A&M in 1943, served a hitch in the Navy, and came back to the campus in 1946. He and his wife live in College Station. With the modern games equip ment and the air-conditioned facili ties, the games department should become one of the most popular w^vpational spots on the campus. Head of Food Production Named Food production manager of the Memorial Student Center is Miss Teresa Tunnell, graduated from TSCW in 1938 and a native of Hico, Tex. In 1944 Miss Tunnell entered the Army Medical Corps. Released as a first lieutenant in 1946, she is now an active reserve officer. Coming to A&M from Washing ton, D.C., she was manager of a Department of Labor cafeteria for Government Services, Inc., a non profit organization which takes care of food operations and other services for all government branches in Washington. A staff of 40 was under her supervision and from 2,500 to 3,000 people were served daily. She will be in charge of all food preparation in the kitchen, coffee shop, and fountain room.
