“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

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. Potts, department of
agronomy will serve as chaiman of
the conference, which is sponsored
by the Texas Turf Association and
A&M.
Registration for the conference
will begin at 10 a. m., Dec. 1, in
the MSC. In addition to regular
sessions, a banquet will be held at
7 p. m., Dec. 2, Dr. Potts said.
