Circulated Daily To 90 Per Cent Of Local Residents Number 203: Volume 52 The Battalion PUBLISHED DAILY IN THE INTEREST OF A GREATER A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE STATION (Aggieland), TEXAS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1952 Published By A&M Students For 75 Years Price Five Cents MSC’s Operating Budget Approved By Council Monday A $5,532.70 operating- budget for the MSC Council and Director- «j ate was approved last night dur ing a three and a half hour ses sion by the council. This was almost all of the 6,000 which the MSC constitution l Uows for operating expenses of w**k eae ,4*HoJk)cries. The group also £Ui£#)ved $2,583.75 for use by the musflc and dance committees from the revolving fund of $5,000. A new organization, the mar ried couples committee, was ad mitted into the directorate bring ing the total number of clubs and committees to 12. The married couples group’s budget of $158 also was appi*oved. Last Year’s Expenses About $4,000 was spent last year by committees in the direc torate. This year, only four groups received a cut in money % over the 1951 fiscal term. The greatest part was caused by a transferring of previous duties from one committee to another V A which brought a similar sway of appropriations between the groups. The Council also discussed the use of Wednesday night for direc torate meetings in the Center. In explaining the topic, Council Pres ident Lamar McNew pointed out unfavorable criticism had been placed on the Center last year for allowing the directorate commit tees to meet on Wednesday night Dr. Southern To Speak On Word of Life i Dr. Paul Southern of Abil- *ene Christian College will «peak at a non-denominational meeting honoring the publica- . tion of the new Revised Stan- >dard Version Bible tonight at 7:30 in the A&M Presbyterian Church. Theme of Dr. Southern’s address Will be “The Word of Life in Living Languages.” Three Thousand Communities Three thousand communities throughout the country are holding similar meetings. The new edition is the result of 15 years of research and work by 32 Bible scholars. It has been compared to the publication of the King James version as an out standing point in the history of the Bible. Southern is professor of Bible and Biblical languages at Abilene Christian College. He has been at since 1937, and has been head ol*che Bible department since 1950. In 1930 Southem was graduated 7rom ACC with summa cum laude ^ honors. He received his MA degi'ee from TCU in 1933.

Wealher Today LIGHT WINDS * WEATHER TODAY: Clear with light winds. The high yesterday was 91 and the low this morning !6L . - which is set up as church night by the Student Life Committee. A motion by Frank Manitzas, Battalion co-editor, was passed after a timely discussion. The motion asked committees and clubs of the directorate be allow ed to use their own discretion as to what nights they would meet. John Samuels, council vice presi dent, seconded the motion. Only Open Date McNew brought out to the group that although Wednesday night was unfavorable as a meeting time, it was about the only open date. Samuels and Manitzas ask ed the Student Life Committee be notified that in the spring when the college calendar for the year is formulated all clubs and organ izations on the campus be asked as to what nights should be set aside for particular meetings. The MSC was “left-out” when the cal endar was made up last spring. Rue Pinalle, and the talent show, functions of the dance com mittee, pi’oduced a profit of about $200. The council acknowledged a resolution by Dick Hervey, former students’ representative, tha,t com mittees using the revolving fund over a long period of time, forward periodic balance sheets so that the council may see if the venture can pay for itself, and pay for itself protecting the investment. New Councilmen Dr. A. A. Price was introduced by McNew as a new council mem ber, replacing Dr. W. W. Armi- stead, who is on leave from the college. C. B. Godbey, a new member of the MSC Board, also was introduced. He replaces Dean John Bertrand. Council members present were Stark, McNew, Samuels, Price, Ma nitzas, Joel Austin, Dial Martin, J. O. Childs, Carroll Phillips, John Akard, Ken Hall, Hervey, Calvin Guest. Ray Davenport, assistant to the director, also was present.

Seniors who filed for Student Center’s Round- Up Set For Tonight By CHUCK NEIGHBORS Battalion News Writer The third MSC Roundup will take place in the student center ballroom tonight im mediately after yell practice. Purpose of the Roundup is to encoui'age new and returning students to actively participate in center activities, according to Ken Hall, chairman of the Roundup Committee. All the committees of the MSC Directoi'ate will be represented at the progi’am by speakers and dis plays. Coffee and cookies will be sexwed as added inducements for students to attend. There is an almost unlimited variety of committees, ranging from the craft committee to the dance committee. Public Relations If you are interested in writing, or advertising, sign up for the public relations committee. If you enjoy painting or art, enlist in the are gallery committee. Bowles should contact Jim Kennedy at the Roundup tonight in order to be come members of his large and active committee. If you would like your home town paper delivered to the MSC browsing librai’y, join that com mittee and try to influence its members. A pexson interested in leather, plastics, wood, or ceramics work would probably enjoy the craft committee. The directorate’s Dance Com mittee, under the dix*ection of Boyce Holmes, supervises Cafe Rue Pinalle, the centex-’s French night club. For all shutterbugs and camera fiends, the camex-a club should provide an outlet for those who like to snap and develop their own pictures. Remember, the center operates four dai'kx-ooms with complete fa cilities for enlarging and develop ing on the third floor. • -«v* Barton Reynaud is in charge of the music committee, whose job it is to keep the MSC musical. The committee provides records for the browsing library collection, is responsible for the piano and recoi’d playing x-ooms; and in ad dition, obtains orchesti’as for con ceits and other musical entertain ment. The amateur club has a complete and enviable assortment of radio equipment and one of the oldest “ham” stations in the United States. For students interested in radio and in meeting people all over the wox-ld thx-ough the med ium of the short-wave x’adio, the radio club is the one to join. Members of the radio club have talked with pei’sons as far away from A&M as New Zealand and Austi'alia with the sets in use in the club’s “shacks” over the bowl ing alleys. House Committee Last and not by any means least on the 'list of center committees is the house committee; Rodney Heath, chaix'man of the gx*oup is responsible for entertainment, stu dent-faculty get-togethex-s, infor mation for campus visitors and making guests feel generally “at home” in the living x-oom of the A&M campus.

Gilchrist Plans One More Year With System Gibb Gilchrist, chancellor of the A&M College System since 1948, agreed to serve out the full school year of 1952- 53 after being requested to do so by the A&M System Board of Directors in a meeting here Saturday. Scheduled for retirement to modified service shortly after reaching the age of 65 late this year, Gilchrist will continue as chancellor until the end of the 1953 fiscal year, Aug. 1. The board of directors also asked W. H. Holzman, comp troller for the system, to continue in full service until June 1, 1953. Holzmann was scheduled to retire to modified serv ice under the same rule. The board named W. C. Freeman, Jr., assistant comptroller since September, 1948, to succeed Holz mann after his retirement. Members of the board author ized, with approval of the chan cellor, A&M President M. T. Har rington to select a site, subject also to board appx-oval, for an all faith chapel to be built through do nations of foi'mei’ students. The college architect was in- stinxcted to collect existing infoi-- mation and study needs in prepar ation for dx-awing sketches for con sideration. Funds ai-e being x-aised for this pi’oject by the college’s Association of Former Students. New Appropriations The -board made appi-opiuations for $370,000 of additional impi-ove- ments and approved a tentative plan for other needed buildings, to be ex-ec,ted as funds become avail able.
