By PEGGY MADDOX
Battalion Women’s Editor
One of the two student’s wives
dubs open to all Aggie Avives, and
the only student wife organization
■with a national charter, is the
Dames Club.
The Texas A&M Chapter of the
Dames Club was started in April,
1950 and has grown to a member
ship of about 50 through the ef
forts of Mrs. Ide P. Trotter, who
is now a sponsor of the club. Mrs.
R. D. Lewis and Mrs. A. D. Fol-
wciler are also sponsors. The local
organization is one of 61 groups
Scattered on college and univer
sity campuses over the United
States. The first chapter was or
ganized at the University of Chi-
jjg^o in 1921.
^iWrhe primary purpose of the club
is to provide social and culture
contacts for the wives of students.
The fulfillment of this purpose can
be seen through the program sche
dule. In the fall the Dames viewed
a style show’, were briefed on par
liamentary law% and heard a ped
iatrician discuss child care and
childhood problems. The members
enjoyed bridge and canasta occas
ionally and in December had a
Christmas party for their hus
bands.
Book Reviews
A book review opened the spring
programs; however, on the future
schedule is a home economist, mus
ical artist, interior decorator, tw r o
bridge and canasta parties, and a
family picnic. Meetings are held
the first and third Tuesdays of
cverv month in the Cabinet room
of the YMCA.
The national symbol is the wed
ding ring pierced by an arrow, the
wedding ring representing the
marital status of the members, and
the arrow for friendship. National
theme is “Once a Dame, Always
a Dame.” The only provision for
joining the club is that the pros
pective member’s husband be en
rolled in a college or university.
In rare instances, the mother of
a student may join the group. In
all cases, membership is opened
only to married women. After
membership is attained it may be
transferred to any club in the
country, even after the. husband
is no longer connected with a col
lege.

Two A&M Cadets
Invited to ’Point’
Two senior ROTC cadets from
A&M have chosen to represent
the college at West Point’s Ses-
quicentenial celebration starting
the week of Mai’ch 27, Col. Shelly
P. Meyers, PMS&T announced.
The cadets are Grady Small
wood and Jepta W. Dalston. Small
wood is commander of the Eighth
regiment and Dalston is command
er of the Infantry regiment.
According to Major Gen. F. A.
Irving, superintendent of West
Point, representatives from the
various military colleges in the
United States are being invited to
attend the celebration.
While at the military academy
the visitors will live the life of
West Point cadets, Stnal'lwood said.

ing as her favorites.
Went to Nursing School
After finishing nursing school
at Evangelical Deaconess Hospital
in Detroit, Maige married Richard
(Dick) Nolan. Marge, Dick, and
Kenneth, four year old son, came
to Aggieland from Detroit, Mich,
because of the climate. They like
it here and do not intend to make
Michigan their home again. In fact,
they intend to settle in the West,
maybe California. Dick is a me
chanical engineering major and a
distinguished student.
Laura Holt, vice-president and
prbgram chairman is a native Tex
an from Sulphur Springs; however,
she has lived in all parts of Texas.
When she is not busy bookkeep
ing meetings (Freshmen Veter
inary Medicine Wives Club, Dames
Club, AVMA Auxiliary, or church
organizations, she sews and plays
with her two-Rnd-one>-half year
old daughter Sara Ann.
Laura came to A&M with her
husband, A. J., in June, 1950. He
expects to receive his veterinary
medicine degrfec in 19155. Until
then Laura expects to help him all
she can.
Although the Dames Club i.a
relatively new at A&M, it takes its
place among the student wjyes
dubs and in keeping the wives
socially, culturally, and education
ally up with the husbands.

Cards Should
Be Picked Up
In the five different schools
of the college there are five
different methods of handing
out Distinguished Student
cards.
If a student is in the School
of Arts and Sciences, Dean J. P.
Abbott gives the card to the stu
dent personally. The School of Ag
riculture mails the cards to the
student before registration.
The School of Veterinary Medi
cine has two ways of giving the
cards to students. All the pre-vet
students also get cards by mail,
accompanied by a letter. Those stu
dents in veterinary medicine re
ceived DS cards from Dean I. B.
Boughton at a meeting of the Jun
ior American Veterinai*y Associa
tion Feb. 12.
DS Cards were given to engi
neering students when they regis
tered for the spring semester.
However, there are a few students
Who have not picked up cards.
The Basic Division mailed about
100 cards Wednesday. Almost two
thirds of the students in the Basic
Division have not picked up their
cards.
