Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1951 Beware of Busted Buttons.. Departmental Shows, Tours Varied Exhibits For Open House Day DARDON our pride, please—we intend to do * some button-bustin’ over the week-end. And why shouldn’t we? It’s seldom that we get a chance to enjoy the dual plea sure of showing Aggieland to the family and showing the family to Aggieland. Besides, this year is something special around these parts. It’s our birthday. And when we show Dad and Mom and Sis and that special girl around the campus tomorrow, we’ll have the 75 year’s of accom plishment to boast about. This year we’ll be pointing with particul ar pride to the Memorial Student Center, a building that has no equal on any campus in Texas. But the real object of our pride will hold the spotlight Sunday morning. And that spotlight will be on Mom—the lady behind every accomplishment of every Aggie since A&M opened its doors. Aggieland is yours for the week-end, folks. We know you won’t regret having come.
