Battalion Woman’s Editor
Mrs. H. W. Barlow and Mrs.

Newcomers Club, were hostesses,
with Mrs. Gibb Gilchrist, in the
Gilchrist home for a lawn party

guest for the club’s first Fall meet
ing was Mrs. M. T. Harrington,
the wife of the president of A&M.
These ladies helped to serve ap
proximately 125 guests, who called
between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m.
Mrs. S. T. Kein, program chair
man, greeted the guests who were
then registered and given identi
fication tags by club secretary,
P*
Mrs. William LeRroy. A cordial
welcome was extended newcomers
to the club by the hostesses and
officers. The purpose of the New
comers Club is to enable first, sec
ond, and third year College staff
members to become acquainted apd
feel at home at A&M. Mrs. Mel

floral centerpiece.
Lawn chairs were arranged for
the program of the afternoon. Mrs.
Keim introduced the speaker, Mrs.
R. P. Marsteller, who spoke about
“The A&M of Old.” Well-quali
fied to recall to mind the campus
in the early part of the century,
young-looking and vivacious Mrs.
Marsteller has lived on the A&M
campus since her parents brought
her here when she was only four
months old. She is the daughter
of Dr. C. P. Fountain, who was
the Head of the English Depart
ment at the turn of the century.
Today, she is the wife of the man
who was the Dean of the School

retirement four years ago.
Mrs. Marsteller described life
at A&M when there were only five
telephones on the campus, and the
only transportation between Bryan
and College Station was by horse,
as the old trolley line had not yet
been installed. Mrs. Marsteller
reminesced about the day when ev
eryone connected with the College
lived on the campus, and were just
like “a big family.” Since there
were not stores on the campus, the
“big family” had to wait for the
one grocery delivery from Bryan
each week!
The Newcomers will meet next
for a tea in the home of Mrs. M.
T. Hrarington the first Wednes
day in October. Planned program
meetings are scheduled for the first
Wednesday of each month, and in

A Kentucky fiscue by point-af-

liant minds who were undepend
able,” Whitmore commented.
Bill Streich, also of the Battal
ion, told the listeners some of the
comparisons which might he drawn
between the city newspaper and
the high school paper. The title
of his talk was “Covering the
Beat.”
Next on the program was D. D.
Burchard, head of the journalism
department, who explained some of
the essentials in writing a good
news story.
After the noon luncheon, the
students and teachers heard talks
by Earl Newsom and Otis Mil
ler, both of the journalism faculty.
Newsom’s subject was “Design and
Makeup of the Newspaper,” while
Miller explained procedures to use
in writing features and editorials.
The last talk on the program
was given by Howard Berry, di
rector of the Photo and Visual Aid
Laboratory, who spoke on “What
Makes a Good Photograph.”
At the close of the meeting,
teachers gathered for an advisor's
conference while students were
conducted on a tour of the A&M

members of the Battalion staff.
Consolidated

Eighty-five of the 100 cop

distributed in an assembly
held in the CHS gymnasium Fri
day at 10 a. m.
Miss Sara Puddy, assistant edi
tor of the 1950-51 annual, gave a
speech of dedication to Col. R. J.

The fifteen extra copies of the

the City Hotel it became obvious
that many of Coke’s staunchest
supporters were still hesitant about
challenging such well-armed auth
ority.
Not so, Coke. His mind had been
made up when he left Waco. Judge
Kitrell writes that a few days be
fore, when Coke visited him in
Galveston.”
I expressed to him the fear that
he was going to have trouble, he
replied with the deliberation of
speech, and his unmistakable and
characteristic lisp: ‘You come to
Austin in about two weeks and I
will be in the Governor’s, office.”
‘The fourth installment of this
story tells about Coke’s stormy
few days in the office of the gover
nor and will he run Tuesday.)
Laughter And Applause

The walls of A&M Consolidated
School gymnasium will rock to al
ternate laughter and applause on

That is the hopeful prediction of
Director C. G. Esten as he issued
his first call for acts and actors.
“We want anyone and everyone
in the community, and on the cam
pus, who has a specialty or an act
to try out for this show,” Esten
said. “The talent search is not lim
