Mrs. Terry To Talk On MSC Art Exhibit Mrs. Ralph Terry, MSC art dir ector, will give a lecture about the present art exhibit being displayed in the MSC at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Room 3-D of the MSC. Mrs. Terry will illustrate some of the methods of modern artists, and try to g'ive people a better un derstanding of an artist’s work. The lecture is sponsored by the MSC art gallery committee, and everyone is invited, said Dick Tan ner of the committee. More than 600 people signed to donate blood today in the YMCA, said Lee Phillips, student chairman for the Bloodmobile drive. However, due to schedule con flicts many of those who signed could not be used, Phillips said, so only 200 will donate today. Seventy-five to eighty per cent of many outfits volunteered to do nate blood, but conflicts of classes made it necessary to reduce the number, he said. Helping the nurses aides in the blood donation will be 25 local ladies. Refreshments for the do nor’s have been given by the Ki- wanis Club, and Phillips is seek ing another organization to serve at the next Bloodmobile visit hex-e which will be either Apx-il 22 or May 5. Those who will donate blood to day are: F. X. Coronado, J. R. Compton, J. R. Birdwell, J. B. Pafford, Fred Rose, Sam O. Stine, Edsel Rneke, C. F. McCracken, Raymond Cotnoir. " R. J.

Certainly it was about the only pertinent fact that you got straight. Actually, I must con fess that the Batt story of the game made fascinating reading, especially for those who saw the game, but it should have been lab eled as fiction and not presented as news. The brevity which you profess to find so dear in letters of this nature precludes my naming all the discx-epancies in the story, but I can pick out one or two salient fac tors. The yarn blandly assures the x-eadei-s that “with Bobby Farmer, Jimmy Williams, and Lester Byrd parked on third, second, and first, Jei-ry Robinett was sent in to pinch hit for Jerry Nelson.” This must make Tex Fax-mer very happy, as he was sitting on the bench when Robinett went to the plate. Act ually, Ellis was on first, Byrd on Second, and Williams on third. (Farmer had just been fox-ced at home as a result of pinch-hittei’ Ellis’ dribbler to the mound). Our Sports News Editor plunges on with awe-inspixing abandon to inform his readers that the “Owl squad managed to scoi’e six times on four hits.” Call in Pei’i’y Mason. Thex-ein is box-n The Case of the Missing Hits, as everyone who saw the game witnessed only two safe ties by the boys from the Insti tute. Other flagrant abuses include charging a batter for an official TAB while drawing a walk, cutting the Aggies’ bobbles total down fxom eight to three, and a few other trivia. • Of coui’se, I am just an illitei'- ate engineering student who is ig norant enough of the study of jour nalism to believe that a repoi'ter’& pi'imary obligation to his readers is accuracy. By the way, did any one on the Batt staff actually see the game, or just get the story by woi’d-of-mouth ? Bill Withers, ’47 EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Withei's is correct on one point and perhaps on another. The first, concerning Mr. Fax-mer sitting on the bench, is tx-ue. Mi-. Fax-mer had been fox-ced out at home and Mr. Jerry Robinett’s home x*un scox-ed the thx-ee you corx-ectly stated wex-e on base. Concerning the TABs, walks, hits, and other “trivia” on the of ficial box scox-e, we axe afraid you will have to take it up with the official scorer. The Battalion is always present at the baseball games.

McDonald, in a speech made to Ax-ts and Sciences faculty Fx-i- day aftexmoon. Dx*. McDonald is px*esident of Bowling Green State University and an authox-ity on highex- educa tion. McDonald px-edicted that state supported schools will have doub led enrollment within the next 20 years. He also px-edicted greater student participation in admin- istx-ation and greater flexibility of coui’ses. When asked how successful hon or systems wex-e in. other col leges, McDonald said that the trend was away from them, al though administratox-s recognized their gx-eat desix-ability. The depression of the 1930’s is responsible fox' the smallest col lege age gi-oup in many years, he said. McDonald said enrollment fees will increase and more scholar ship assistance will he offex-ed. Teachei's can expect an increase in salai’ies, but the increase will not he sufficient, he added. American colleges are becoming more cosmopolitan, and the popu lation is moving to uxban cen- tex-s. Adult night classes and use of educational television will be come mox-e prominent in the next few years, McDonald said. BACKWARD GLANCES One Year A^o Today Graduating Air Force seniors here pbefer to go into active duty 30 to 60 days after gx-aduation. Most of them think that a 120 days was to long to wait. Their point of view was, “the sooner you get started, the quicker you get out.” Five Years Ago Today The A&M Board of Dii-ectoi-s, meeting in Beaumont, ruled that the Annex would be used for an- other year to avoid overcrowding on the main campus. Ten Years Ago Today In “Backwash”, a column by Candy Magrane this- item appeared undex- the head of “Remember When?” It said: “Everyone you met on the campus said hello to you.” Fifteen Years Ago Today President T. O. Walton announc ed that 12 new dormitories would he built on the southeast paxt of the campus.
