A Final Tribute
'TKDDAY FINAL TRIBUTE will be paid to a man who con-
tributed the last 25 years of his life to A&M College
and the community of College Station.
That man, Mason L. Cashion, died Tuesday night in a
Houston hospital. He had been ill several months prior to
his death.
Cashion served as general secretary of the YMCA. But
to thousands of Aggies he has served as a “second father”.
He came to A&.M in 1926 and served with the school and com
munity until his deaih.
His life was devoted to the social and spiritual welfare
of students and he was one of the most widely known men in
this college field.
He was an outstanding' civic and church deader and has
played a major role in the civic and cultural progress of Col
lege Station.
However, he is best known to Aggies and Aggie-exes for
his untiring friendship and willingness to help and give ad
vise.
Cashion will always be remembered for his contributions
to'the progress and future of A&M and College Station.
One reason so many luxuries are being bought
is that, at these prices, necessities are too expensive.
Newspaper work is so much fun. Where else
could a man be so, consistently wrong and get paid
for it.
So far, in the history of the nation, no presi
dential candidate; has suggested that somebody else
might make a better president.
Drill Field Claimed
Most Abused Area
By R. BRAVO
Battalion Staff Writer
Three inches of water is the
only difference between the condi
tion of the drill field and the rest
of the campus according- to A. F.
DeWerth, professor of floriculture
and landscape architecture.
In discussing summer campus
upkeep practices, DeWerth who is
in charge of campus maintenance
said, “Usually all parts of the
campus are given equal attention.”
“The exception at present is the
drill field which we have irrigated
in order to save the seed previous
ly planted and also because it is
one of the most abused areas on
the campus.”
DeWerth emphasized that there
is a force of about 25 men work
ing through the entire year on
campus upkeep. Usually there are
from six to eight of these men
who do non - productive work,
spending days picking up papers
and coke bottles strewn over the
grounds by “unthinking” Aggies.
Most of the summer work is
routine moving, trimming and wa-
Garbage Room In
MSC Remodeled
Flies are to be excluded from
MSC activities, according to J. W.
Stark, director of the MSC.
The garbage room, which was
too small, too hard to keep clean,
and not fly-proof, was the source
of most flies found in the MSC,
Stark said.
A $1,500 remodeling project was
begun in July, and is expected to
be completed by Aug. 15. For
the first time in two year's, MSC
employees can keep the garbage
room clean and sanitary without
back breaking labor.
Stai'k said cleaning will now be
done by spraying live steam oh
the newly constructed tile walls.
tering with the exception of the
drill field and the MSC.
“The MSC has and will continue
to receive special attention,” De
Werth said. “Most of the trees
around the center had most of
their roots cut off when the streets
were laid and it has been largely
due to a sub-irrigation method of
watering them that they have sur-
■vived.”- ~
“It would be desireable to treat
the entire campus as we are now
treating the drill field but because
of insufficient funds and lack of
facilities this is an impossibility,”
he said.
“It would help if students had
as much pride in the entire campus
as they have in the MSC grounds.
You don’t se^ the paths angling
through the Center’s lawns that
you can find anywhere else on
the campus.”
One Case of Polio
Reported in Area
One case of polio was reported
in the Bryan-College Station area
during the week ending August 2,
the county health unit announced
today.
Also on the list released by the
unit were 15 cases of septic sore
throat, 11 cases of diarrhea and
three cases each of chickenpox and
influenza.
Measles, mumps, pneumonia and
tuberculosis showed one case each.
