Registrar
The School of Military Science and Tac
tics is studying the advisability of offering
one semester for credit of MS II and AS
II to be completed during the two summer
school terms of twelve weeks total to only
those cadets who will be academically qual
ified for advanced contract next fall except
that they lack only one semester of Basic
Military Science. Accordingly, any student
in this situation is requested to report in
writing to his MS or AS instructor by 9
April 1951 whether he (1) will probably
take or (2) will definitely take such a
course, If offered. The report should also
Include expected academic standing (hours,
grade points, ratio, classification, and ma
jor course) and completed Military Science
semesters as of the end of the present
spring semester. Th feasibility of offering
such a course can only be determined from
a study of these reports.
It must be borne in mind that the spirit
behind the offering of summer school ROTC
work is to bring into step the academic and
military instruction of our students or to
shorten the duration of their college car
eers. The operation of the Selective Service
Act and the reputation of this college
makes us look with disfavor upon any
innovation in our Military Science instruc
tion which would prolong the college car
eer of any individual beyond the normal
duration.

Mail Service for City
Initial results of the postal serv
ice ballots sent to residents and the
formal acceptance of Miss Marie
Cobb as Dutchess to the Cotton
Pageant and Ball, headed the agen
da of the College Station Chamber
of Commerce in the meeting today
at City Hall.
President Joe Sorrells told the
Chamber that the final results of
the recent poll of public sentiment
toward residential mail delivery in
College Station was not complete
at present because all the ballots
had not been returned to the City
Hall.
“Early voting, approximately 45
per cent complete, indicates that
the residents are in a four to one
ratio in favor of the service,” said
Sorrells.
“I urge everyone who has failed
to return the ballot mailed them
to send it to the City Hall as quick
ly as possible so the results may
be given to Postmaster Walton,”
Sorrells concluded.
Miss Cobb accepted the invitation
extended to her by R. L. Hunt, Les
Richardson, and Mrs. G. B. Godbey
to become the Chamber of Com-

The Two by Two, couples class
of the A&M Baptist Church will be
guests at a picnic supper on Thurs
day at 5:45 p. in., according to
social chairmen, Virgie and Gene
Sellars.
The group will meet at the
church and transportation will be
provided from there to the picnic
grounds. In case of bad weather,
the supper will be held at the
church, Mrs. Sellars said.
A menu consisting of fried chick
en, potato salad, iced tea and
cookies will be served to the forty
class members, according to the
social chairmen.
Gordon and Dollie Yeargan are
presidents of the class. Mr. and
Mrs. A. B. Kennerly are class

Discussed at the meeting also
was the allocatitm of money to the
College for the mailing of broch
ures to high school seniors who
possibly might attend A&M next
fall.
“This has been done in the past,”
Sorrells told the group, “however
since the total financial report is
not available we cannot definitely
decide to spend the money.”
The Chamber of Commerce voted
to contact the City Council to dis
cover if that group would be will
ing to have a joint get-together
sometime in May. “The purpose
of this meeting would be to let the
citizens meet personally the men
who run College Station govern
ment and to acquaint the council
with its constituents,” said Sor
rells.

Consolidated Seniors Attend
Banquet, Get Class Rings
A banquet honoring A&M Con
solidated High School seniors was
given by the junior class last night
in the assembly room of the MSC.
Approximately 90 people attended
the dinner at which senior class
rings were presented by L. S.
Richardson, superintendent of pub
lic schools.
Members of the senior class pre
sent at the dinner were Dorothy
Bates, Bebe Bond, Jack Burchard,
Dick French, Eddie Guthrie, Ar
lene Kietzam, Liz Miller, Dorothy
Spriggs, Dick Weick, Bobby Wil
liams, Barbara Belcher, Helene
Boatner, Marie Cobb, Roland Jones.
Reba McDermott, Royce Rodgers,
Ann Southern, Codie Wells, Elroso
Stahl, and Lou Ann Wyatt com
pleted the senior list.
The only senior not present was
Gerald Frenzel.
Flop Colson, general agent for
Brazos County for United Fidelity
Life Insurance Company, Dallas,
was the principal speaker.
Southern fried chicken was
served the guests. For dessert,
pineapple sherbert was eaten.
After the meal, the room was
cleared of tables and there iVas
dancing.
The Rev. Norman Anderson, pas
tor of the A&M Presbyterian
Church, College Station, delivered
the invocation.
Puddy Welcomes Seniors
Sara Puddy, junior class presi
dent, welcomed the members of the
Senior Class and guests to the
Junior - Senior banquet. Royce
Rogers, senior class president, ex
tended, on behalf of his class, his
appreciation saying that, “this is
an event which I shall always re-
member.”
Special music was furnished by
a, girl’s quintet from Consolidated.
Glenda Brown, Judy Oden, Celeste
Curran, Sara Puddy, and Louise
Street rendered “Dixie” and
“Camptown Races.”
“Alligators, Indians, and the
psychology of getting grades” was
supposedly the title of the talk
given by Colson.
Although alligators and Indians
were mentioned in passing, the in
surance salesman devoted almost
30 minutes to what he chose to
call the art of getting grades.
Indian Nickels Secret
Speaking from experience, Col
son, who claims that he passed
psychology at A&M with Indian
headed nickels, said that the se
lection of courses was very impor
tant. “One should,” he said, “avoid
lab courses wherever possible, de
tour courses that have a lot of
written work, and strive for cour
ses that are closely related,
“Laugh at all the prof’s jokes,”
the satrical speaker warned,
“Laugh hard. At least his efforts
were funny.”
In all seriousness, however, the
speaker concluded with the state
ment that the seniors were going to
get out of life what'they put into
it..
Glenda Brown gave the benedic
tion following the discourse.
Seated at the speaker’s table
were L. E. Boze, principal of Con
solidated High School; Mr. and
Mrs. O. V. Chafin, coach; the Rev.
and Mrs. Norman Anderson; Royce
