SWC Rule Forbids
Cheaper Tickets
Because of a Southwest confer
ence rule, A&M students cannot
expect lower-priced football tickets
for their dates and wives, accord
ing to Barlow (Bones) Irvin, di
rector of athletics.
At present, date tickets are
$2.50 for games played on Kyle
Field and $3.60 for games away
from A&M. The lower price for
home games is possible only be
cause a conference rule allows end
zone tickets to be sold at the $2.50
price.
Tickets for other games must be
sold for $3.60, because a conference
rule says that the $1.20 student
ticket .can only be sold for use by
a student.
If the student ticket is used by
anyone except a student, the op
posing college can demand pay
ment of the difference. Southern
Methodist University demanded

and receive such payment from
A&M a few years ago.
The A&M athletic department
now offers a $9.60 seasob ticket,
valid for all games played here, to
student wives.
No other school in the South
west. conference has such a plan.
It is not possible to offer the $1.20
student ticket to wives because of
the ruling which limits their use
to students only.
Emphasizing that A&M students
should not expect lower priced
tickets for their dates, Irvin point
ed out that only through : a
thorough examination of the rule
book was the $2.50 ticket for home
games possible.
“A&M students do not seem to
realize that the athletic office does
not set the ticket price,” Irvin said.
“Furthermore the student does
not expect prices in the MSC to
be lowered for his date.”

Army Still Has
26 Contracts
For Juniors
a surplus of 26 junior contracts be
cause of poor academic records and
a drop in the number of transfer
students expected to take advanced
military science.
The Fourth army allotted A&M
380 contracts for this year. Out of
525 of last spring’s army ROTC
sophomores, only about 325 were
qualified for contracts this fall,
Myers said.
This figure was raised by air
science students who transfered to
army ROTC.
Myers indicated the principal
reason for the decrease was poor
grades.
Approximately 14 transfer stu
dents who enrolled in army ROTC
September resigned from the
course, Myers said. He said about
half the new transfers, who could
have taken advanced army ROTC,
either did not apply or dropped
the course.
There were 354 new army ROTC
contracts awarded this fall, Myers
said. This figure is 26 short of the
number of contracts which the
Fourth Army allotted A&M.
Myers .said that he estimated last
spring that the army ROTC here
would need about 400 contracts for
juniors enrolling this fall.
Fourth Floor Flood
Damages Entire Dorm
The identity of persons who flooded dormitory 2 early
yesterday morning was still unknown today.
Dean of Men W. L. Penberthy told The Battalion that the
college had not uncovered a lead.
A number of unidentified persons went up to the fourth
floor of the non-military dormitory about 3 a.m. and removed
ten flush valves from the toilets, said Bennie Zinn, assistant
dean of men. He believes more than one person was involved
because one person would not take the risk of being caught
removing the valves by himself.
After the valves were removed water flow r ed and soon
every room and hall from the top to the botton of the dorm
was three to four inches in water. According to Zinn, many
♦•students had shoes, suitcases

Building Construction
Causes Heating Failure
Ten college buildings were with
out heat because of construction on
the hot water lines, said T. R.
Spence, manager of the physical
plants.
The central heating system of
the college is out of operation for
Law, Puryear, Hart, Bizzell, Good
win, Bolton, and Guion halls, the
College Administration building,
the Memorial Student Center and
the YMCA.
The extension of the heating
; system to the new Physical Edu
cation building and to DeWare
field house required changing the
five-and six-inch hot water lines
in the heat tunnel to eight-inch
lines, Spence said.
The new pipe has been installed
for some weeks now but delivery
of the eight new expansion joints
to go in the new lines has been de
layed by a strike in New York,
Spence said.
“The contractor on the work had
been expecting delivery for several
weeks, hoping to get the lines com
pleted before the cold weather
started,” Spence said. “When he
learned that it will still be several
weeks before the expansion joints
can be expected, he started work
ing installing some substitute
joints.”

Modern Creamery
A&M also has one of the most
up-to-date creameries in the state.
Although the building which
houses it is several years old, the
equipment is the latest available.
The creamery has one of the
latest pasturizing machines in pro
duction. With this machine, milk
can be pasturized completely in
only 16 minutes. All milk pro
duced is grade A homogenized.
After being pasturized the milk
passes through another of the
numerous cooling vats. The milk
is tested again for impurities, and
then is bottled and capped.
The creamery also produces all
the frozen milk products used in
the mess halls. The creamery is
experimenting with the production
of cheese and othei’ milk by-pro
ducts.
Winter Uniform Is
Optional for Game
Students can wear winter uni
forms for the football game in
Lubbock this weekend if they want
to.
The winter uniform can be worn
in Lubbock, and going and coming.
Students remaining on the campus
will not be allowed to wear winter
uniforms.
It is not yet known when the
corps will change to winter uni
form permanently.
“It depends on the weather,”
said Fred Mitchell, corps com
mander.
Delaplane to Serve
As Economics Head
Dr. Walter H. Delaplane, newly
appointed dean of arts and
sciences, will also serve as head of
the economics department for the
time being and possibly until the
end of the year, said Dean of the
College J. P. Abbott.
Delaplane was promoted from
head of the economics depai’tment
to dean of arts and sciences at the
Sept. 26 meeting of the board of
directors.
Delaplane will divide his time
between the two jobs, Abbott said.

Although there is no esti
mate of the total damage to
the building. Ten flush valves
worth $11 each are missing, Zinn
said.
The incident was first 1’eported
when W. G. Breazeale, dormitory
2 counselor, arrived at 8 a. m. and
saw water running through the
doors. He phoned for janitors to
clean up the building to lessen the
water damage.
Must Be Stopped
Speaking for the college on the
incident, Zinn said, “We, the col
lege, want such occurrences stop
ped because of the great waste of
time on the part of whoever re
moved the valves, and also of the
students in the dormitory”.
BULLETIN
Six flush valves were re
moved from the toilets on the
fourth floor of dormitory 6 last
night. Because the flood was
discovered sooner, damage was
not as heavy as in dormitory
2, said Bennie Zinn, assistant
dean of men.
The “float-out” occurred
about 4:30 this morning. By
the time water was turned off,
there were from two to three
inches of water on the fourth
floor. j
★
“In addition” he said, “every
floodout causes needless damage to
student property and to buildings.
Every time a dormitory is flooded,
considerable damage is done to
floors and walls by water seeping
through and running down tha
pipes. This water also causes fall
ing plaster and cracks paint,” he
added.
Steps were taken to discover the
identity of the vandals, Zinn said.
