A&M ’51-52 Calendar
Representatives from all organizations, depart
ments, and clubs on the campus were invited to a
meeting last Spring to plan the 1951-52 activity
, calendar by G. C. “Spike” White, assistant dean of
men for activities.
From that meeting, the following list has been
prepared and approved by the Student Life Com
mittee. It may be changed only with the consent
I of that Committee.
White said that additions will be made—if the
need arises—by the Office of Student Activities. In
order to minimize conflicts, he said, dates for events
concerning more than 2 percent of the student body
should be cleared with the Office of Student Ac
tivities.

Book Plan*
T AST SUMMER we offered this Lay-A-Way plan to 5500 Aggies. Over 1100 responded
with Lay-A-Way orders.
TVHEN these 1100 arrived on the campus for the Fall Semester we had their books and
” equipment needs packaged and labeled and laid 'away for them. Without fuss or fury—
and more important—without sweating the waiting lines, they received their supplies in
short order.
THUS YEAR we are offering the same service to you. Here’s how it works. All you need
do is come by and pick up one of the Lay-A-Way book forms. After you are sure of the
books you need either bring or mail the form to us. WE do the rest.
WHEN you return to school you can present your claim check at one of the east windows
” of the Exchange Store, and your package will be delivered. At the time of delivery you
will have the privilege of inspecting the selection and may accept or reject any or all items.
r FHERE IS no obligation on your part to acccept our selection and no deposit to be made.
All you do is fill out the request and we do the rest.
^HIS YEAR, as in the past five years, surplus profits from the Exchange Store will be
* returned to Student Recreation and Welfare. In the past five years the Memorial Stu
dent Center, and dozens of other student activities have received over $300,000 in Exchange
Store profits.
WHEN YOU buy it at the Exchange Store you are providing many things for all present
