AP Airs Grievance Report Received by Committee A story concerning - the current requests made to the commandant by the grievance committee was carried last night by the Associated Press. The story said only few of the grievances asked by the committee had been granted. It mentioned Commandant Col. Joe Davis’ statement that “Physical inspections will be continued so long as there is evidence of hazing in the corps of cadets.” The abolishment of B Armor and the committee’s feel ing of its rights being infringed upon were also contained in the story sent to the leased wire subscribers all over the state. It told of the commandant’s disapproval of opening the freshman area and physical exercise as a means of punish ment. ■'<*- «*■ a##**!' f**-"* Stories also have been printed recently in other state newspapers. * «■ *. «< '<* m .Rev.

FROM THE CITY DESK Record Vote For College Station By HARRI BAKER Battalion City Editor f Election roundup: College Station can brag with the rest of the country on the turn out of the voters. The 1,813 ballots marked at the two local polling places was more than 300 above the maxi mum estimated before the election, setting a new record. The 1,156' vote box at A&M Consolidated School, the largest in Brazos County, was a decisive factor in swinging the country’s total to Eisenhower. After results from that box were reported, there was no doubt as to how the county would go. College Station capped its last presidential vote by 500. The vote in 1948 was 1.164. College Station’s 30 city employees will be affected by the constitutional amendment passed authorizing the legis lature to provide for Workman’s Compensation for city em ployees. City Pays for Compensation According to Ran Boswell, city manager, the amendment means the state legislature now has the power to make the city pay for Workman’s Compensation. The people of College Station voted for this amendment, 681 to 323. They also voted 540 to 450 for the other constitutional amend ment, providing for establishment of a State Medical Education Fund to make grants, loans, or scholar ships to students who want to study medicine. The speed with which the Col lege Station votes were collected and tabulated is due largely to the efficiency of the election judges and their clei - ks. Election judge at the College Hills box was V. J. Boriskie. As sisting him were election clerks Mrs. Ed Parnell and Mrs. W. R. Horsley. H. E. Burgess was election judge at the A&M Consolidated box. His election clerks were Norman Rhodes, P. L. Downs Jr., Mrs. O. C. Copeland, Mrs. Pauline Holmes, and Mrs. C. B. Godbey. Jaycettes Add Color A colorful feature of election day was the eye-catching “I voted; did you?” tags distributed by the Jaycettes of Bryan. These wives of the members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce worked in shifts so that one of them was at every polling place in the county as long as the boxes were open. The unexpected rush of voters caused the A&M Consolidated box to run out of ballots about 6:15 the night of the election. The County Court House rushed out 250 extra ballots. The College Hills box had only about 10 ballots left whqp the polls closed. Texas Turf Meet Will Be Held Here About 125 persons are expected to attend the Texas Turf Confer ence which will be held December 1-3. Dr. R. C.
