THE BATTALION Wednesday, October 21, 1953 Page 6 CHS Students Talk On Boys, Girls State Boys State and Gills State, high school student organizations that teach government, were explained yesterday to the Kiwanis club. Janice Latimer and Dan Wil liams, who represented A&M Con solidated high school at the meet ings last year, gave the Kiwanians their report. Expenses to the Boys and Girls State meetings are paid by the club. Janice said that the dormitories at the camp were divided into cities and counties. She told the club how - elections were held to show the students the functioning of the government. Those attend ing the meet were divided into the “Federalist” and “Nationalist” parties. “I ran for ‘county school super intendent’ but the Federalists de feated me,” she said. “When we took a tour of the capitol in Austin, we found out how much red tape is involved in government,” Janice said. Dan explained Boys State, which was almost like Girls State. Six Aggie Baptists Report on Meeting Six members of the A&M Bap tist Student Union presented a pro- gi-am on the benefits of the Texas BSU Convention in San Antonio at the Sunday evening service of the First Baptist Church of Col lege Station. David Mitchell, president of the A&M BSU, presided over the meet ing and spoke on Howard E. Butt’s opening speech at the convention. Others on the program were De- wayne Peterson, Louis McKnight, Frank Pollard, Dick Bumpass and Tommy Dunagan. About 30 Aggies attended the convention last weekend. Total at tendance was estimated at 3,000 Baptist students. The A&M stu dents ushered Friday night and assisted Baylor university in usher ing Sunday morning. Kiwanians to Sell Lunches Saturday The College Station Kiwanis club will sell box lunches before the A&M-Baylor football game Saturday. There will be six selling sta tions set up in the city to sell the lunches. The lunches will contain chicken, pickles, buttered rolls, potato ehips, a cupcake and an apple. Kiwanis members who will sell the lunches are Ray Berry, Joe Campbell, Ralph Rogers, Walter Manning, E. B. Reynolds, R. L. Skrabanek, Mike Krenitsky, S. L. Loveless, Joe Sorrels, and J. B.. Longley. “We were divided into the “Pioneer” and “Longhorn” Parties, and I was put with the pioneers,” he said. “I was glad they did be cause the other party sounded too much like TU.” Dan showed how the boys at tending the meeting got the same opportunity to learn about govern ment as the gix-ls’ group. He summed up the value of the whole pi-oject by saying, “You get to live the government and not just get it out of the book.” Kiwanis District Elects Loveless S. L. Loveless of the College Sta tion Kiwanis club has been elect ed lieutenant governor of division nine of the state Kiwanis organi zation. Loveless was elected at the divi sion meeting in Houston last week. At the College Station Kiwanis club yesterday, he said he hoped the club would be proud of the division’s selection. “It took the help and support of the club to make the election pos sible,” Loveless said. He then issued a challenge to the club to continue to uphold the high standards that are “bringing notice to the club.” Membership Drive Set by CHS Cub The Mother and Dads club of A&M Consolidated elementary school began a membership drive recently. “The room mothers decided to carry out the campaign on a room basis, and parents will be given an opportunity to join the club and pay dues thi’ough their children and their children’s teachers,” Mrs. John R. Bertrand president, said.
