Page 8 THE BATTALION Thurdday, November 9, 1950 Ross Statue Unveiled — (Continued from Page 1) nence Sullivan Loss. As the na tional anthem was being played, little Miss Ross drew aside the flags which hid the statue from view. Miss Louise Cline repre senting the Daughters of the Con federacy placed upon the statue an appropriate floral wreath presented by the Confederacy Chapter of Pryan. In behalf of the College, lion. L. F. Hart, President of the Board of Directors, with a few ap propriate words accepted the statue as given by the State. ' Dr. Br/zell called upon one of Governor Ross’ old soldiers, Cap tain Kelley, to say a few words concerning his connection with Governor Ross. Holding the last; remaining flag of the Texas Le gion in his hand, Captain Kelly fold of the many fine principles of true manhood as set forth by General Ross while serving under him. Following Captain Kelly’s remarks, rresiuenr . oizzell intro duced Judge Norman G. Kitrell of Houston, as the speaker of the oc casion. Having been a bosom friend of Governor Ross; Judge Kittrell in a stirring address told us of Governor Ross as he knew him, as the people knew him. It would be impossible to quote the address of Judge Kittrell as no part could be omitted, but the ad dress delivered was one of the most fitting and inspiring of its kind ever heard here. Upon the conclusion of Judge Kittrell’s ad dress, Dr. G. M. Bishop with an invocation closed the service. We, the students of this school, consider it an honor to have so fitting a memorial placed on our campus. We feel it the duly of every true A&M man to uphold traditions set forth by so true and noble a man as Lawrence Sullivan Ross. §37.50 Universal FOOD MIXER & JUICER EVERV adult visiting our store between Nov. 7 and Dec. 15 will be given a chance on this Labor Saving Device.

Each building had an lisle down the middle; on both -ides were rows of cages, stacked ■>e top of each other, where small er animals were kept. The larger ireatures were kept in wired areas outside. Feeding time was usually about four or five o’clock. The mess hall ■ooperated by saving scraps from lhe tables of. Sbisa and present- ng them to the zookeeper. It was hiring these times that crowds .ppeared, children and their par- '•nt.s and occasionally a few cadets, "he corps took the whole menager ie matter of factly, never too en- .bused over the arrival of a “now” animal as were certain younger members o f faculty families. “Daddy, take me to the zoo” was as common in College Station then is in any metropolitan larger city loday. Sunday afternoons was an other favorite time for large at tendance. Monkeys, then as now, were the main attraction and in curably hammed their way through animated performances to the ex treme delight of giggling young sters. But the cadet corps didn’t quite ignore the zoo no, not by a long shot. Too many times, certain prize animals, were mysteriously taken from their cages during the night. The famous case of the guinea pigs in Pfeuffer Hall is a classic example of what had happened. A prankster decided that he’d scare his roommate senseless by arranging it so that a frolicsome pair of guineaus would appear in his bed, while he was asleep, The roommate suffered the shock of the situation that night, but he decided to keep them as pqts. The result: within a few weeks Pfeuf fer was swarming with animals. An investigation .was made, be cause .of rumors to the effect that guineau pigs had taken qver the dorm, and they were removed back to the zoo. The ostrich member of the ani- | mal family received much atten- | tion one year and much publicity j when he was proclaimed dangerous.

He was supposedly very adept at his game. As a sort of avocation of Pres ident Bizzeil the zoo remained in existence until about 1925 at the end of his administration. A ,few- uncontrollable factors had hindered its growth, notable among which was the College Station climate— another was finances. But even in its short five year history, it had offered much enjoyment to the peo ple of College Station, the students, and in particular the children who saw in it a new outlet for wonder ment and who begged their fath ers to “take me too!” Ordnance Unit Started Here In March, 1942 Starting of the Ordnance unit of R.O.T.C. training at A&M be came effective Tuesday, March 24, according to a statement by Lieu tenant U. M. Alexander Jr., Field Artillery, acting tactical officer of the unit pending the arrival of a senior Ordnance instructor. Interviews of engineering stu dents are being conducted this week until 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 in room 37 Ross hall. Con- iracts in the Ordnance are avail able to engineering, students only. There will be a total of 100 con tracts awarded. Senior contracts, 50 in number, will be awarded first to seniors taking an advanced military science course as an, elective. Students with advanced contracts in any branch will be given second choice. Juniors taking advanced military science as an elective will be given preference for the 50 junior con tracts. Men not taking military science at present but who have completed a basic military course will then be selected, and third choice will go to juniors now hav ing advanced military contracts in any branch. Glasses in the Ordnance course will be adapted to the student’s schedules, as Quartermaster unit classes have been. Definite start ing date for the classes has not been announced, but will probab ly be sometime next week. Students now taking basic mili tary science will not be considered and need not apply until June. (BATTALION, Thursday, March 26, 1942) (Continued from Page 4) there was no office and no mailing list of former students. Starting’ from scratch, the organization has grown constantly and at the pres ent time there are mailing ad dresses of approximately 25,000 former students. “The Texas Ag gie” is being mailed to 19,000 men. Early in the life of the Associa tion, its leaders became aware of the need for different forms of student aid. The establishment of a loan fund became one of the principle aims of the organization. Promotion of the idea of collecting funds for the loan fund brought in sufficient capital for material aid to rapidly increasing, numbers of students. Fund money was received from forty odd sources including individ ual A&M men. individual friends of A&M, A&M clubs, A&M moth ers’ clubs, classes and industrial firms. Loan funds now total §267,000. For the first 18 years of opera tion the loan fund was. partially financed by annual dues of $5.00 from all members of the Associa tion. In 1942 the “dues” plan was completely discontinued and an an nual “giving” program was start ed. The Development Fund of the Association of Former Students was established.

Each year hundreds of nien are given advice concerning their college problems, churches are aided in their programs of work, and the whole college educational program is partially guided by the Former Students’ Council. The Development Fund idea has teen very popular with former stu dents of the college. A&M men through their contributions have allotted more than $200,000 to the Memorial Student Center. In addition the Development Fund, has initiated a system of • eholarships known as “Opportuni- j ty Awards” which have made it possible for promising young men who came from families with small financial means to obtain a college education. The Development Fund has set for itself the task of providing funds to furnish the college those worthy services and facilities that cannot be purchased from state funds. Such items include the purchase of rifles for the Ross Vol unteers, the establishment of CqL lege Archives, and the writing a college history. Classified Section . . . 60c per column ineb.
