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.

day are:

LETTERS
Editors, The Battalion:
I feel that you deserve some
commendation for reporting the
correct score Ag-Owl season base
ball opener. 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. We hope you continue to

Co-education
Pressure Will
Rise-McDonald
Pressure favoring co-educa
tion will increase in state sup
ported schools in the next 20
years, predicted Dr. Ralph W.
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.

Graduating Air Force seniors

30 to 60 days after gx-aduation.
Most of them think that a 120 days

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

met on the campus said hello to
you.”
