LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
(Continued from Page 2)
be only in name and could not pos
sibly involve a shifting in power,
and in the same breath he gave
as another reason the “restriction”
placed on the office at the pi-esent
time that would be alleviated if
the change is to ULTIMATELY
gain more and more power.
It is evident that there are cer
tain individuals who, to the detri
ment of the school, want to see the
power concentrated away from the
direct control now exercised by
class distinction, either for their
own personal gain or for the gain
of their friends following next year.
This group tried unsuccessfully
to “sneak” the issue by the stu
dents. For example, the freshmen
were gathered together in the As
sembly Hall and a rosy picture was
painted concerning the advantages
of this change.
Most of the freshmen did not
know that a Student Senate exist
ed. The three points outlined at
the first of this letter were not
mentioned. The Battalion, which
was to give ample publicity to
BOTH SIDES before the voting,
neglected to mention the above
three insignificant points.
It is up to the student body to
see that the system that has made
A&M great is preserved for the
Aggies that follow in our foot
steps. Ours is a heritage that
should be able to withstand easily
the assault of the political power
grab attempt now in progress.
If this letter appears to sling a
little too much mud, perhaps it is
because there is so much mud
around to sling. In fact, there are
quite a few people whose hands
are rapidly becoming veiy dirty.
Kenneth W. Smith ’51
Two More Cents
Editor, The Battalion:
I would like to put my two cents
in this discussion of the “election”
poll, as so called by some of the
pink boys. On the night of Wed
nesday, April 11, 1951, I was
thrumping thru my economics book,
studying each page carefully, and
all of a sudden, a bolt of lightning
struck my brain, and I realized
that not one of those wonderful,
democratic tools called ballots had
reached the dear boys of A through
G Cowboys of Law and Puryear
Halls.
What in this big, wide world had
happened to them ? Through much
thought and intellectual manipula
tion, I discovered that us “Pooor
booys cover hearr waaaas leeft
ooout.”
Not one ballot was seen in our
hands. So, to all the boys in the
local coterie, the ballot WAS SO
illegal after it did not give repre
sentation from the whole student
body.
I am sure glad to see the multi
tude expressing their views so re
peatedly.

Smitii Speaks
To Kiwanians
About Turkey
Turkish agriculture was the topic
of H. P. Smith, professor in the
agricultural engineering depart
ment, when he spoke to College
Station Kiwanis yesterday in the
MSC Assembly Room.
Just completing a one year’s
study of Turkish agricultural meth
ods, Smith informed the group that
with the present type plows avail
able to Turkish farmers, it re
quired one day to cultivate approx
imately three-quarters of an acre
oi' land.
“The average land owned by the
peasant farmer is about 25 acres
so it is plain to see how long it
takes to work one average farm,”
Smith told the club.
Smith illustrated his talk with
colored slides depicting his work
in Turkey. Scenes of palaces, har
bors, and farms were screened and
narrated by Smith.
Prior to Smith’s talk, Kiwanis
President A. C. Magee suggested
that the club sponsor a boy’s Lit
tle League baseball team during
the Summer months. J. W. O’Brien,
local contractor, is heading the
campaign to raise $75 for the pur
chase of uniforms and equipment
for the boys.
Magee emphasized the import
ance of the League in providing
recreation for the smaller children
of College Station during the Sum
mer and also the League’s role in
combating juvenile delinquency.

‘Class Gift Silver’ Starts
Arriving for MSC’s Service
By BRYAN SPENCER
Battalion Staff Writer
Through the foresight of three
past classes and the generosity
of various mother’s clubs, a buffet
silver valued at $3,500 will be avail
able soon for social function's and
affairs at the MSC.
The history of this new silver
service really began back with the
classes of ’35 and ’36. At the time
when these classes were still in
A&M, they tried through various
means to start the campaign for
funds for a student union build
ing.
Realizing it would take more
money than they could raise, these
classes left their class funds with
the Former Student’s Association
to be used for loans until the time
when their dream was realized. The
money was to be turned over to
the building to be used in any
way seen fit by the college.
The silver, which is made of sil-
verplate by the International Sil
ver Company, has been on order
since last June and the first de
livery was received last week, al
though the major portion of the or
der is. still due in.
Each item is etched with the
seal of the college and has the
name of the donor engraved where
practical.
It is the same kind of silver
found in the Waldorf-Astoria and
Shamrock hotels.
Included in the order of last
June are two 3 gal. punch bowls,
two 2 gal. coffee urns, one 5 gal.
punch bowl, hors D’Oeuvre trays,
candelabras, twelve serving trays,
chaffing dishes, round trays, sil
ver punch cups, and various sized
compotes.
Included in the group that left
money was the Class of ’50 which
left $1,500.
Among the Mother’s Clubs which
donated to the fund were clubs
from Dallas which gave the twelve
serving trays; Amarillo, Austin,
Beaumont, Brazos County, Deep
East Texas, Del Rio, Ft. Worth,
Laredo, Port Arthur, Refugio
County, San Angelo, Sonora, San
Antonio, Stephens County, Temple,
Waco-McLennan County, and Wil
liamson County.
MSC officials claim it will prob
ably take the full time services of
one man to keep the silver polished.
The silver will be kept under
double lock.
The silverware which will be
used for student dances, receptions
honoring guests and other social
affairs congruous with the setting
of the MSC.
