Aggies Give 3,500
Apple and Oranges
A total of 3,500 apples and
oranges were presented before
Christmas to the Veteran’s Ad
ministration Center at Temple by
P. L. Downs, Jr.
Helping to contribute to this
“Christmas cheer” for the veterans
were the residents of College Sta
tion, students, staff, faculty, em
ployes of the college, the A. & M.
Consolidated school and the Lincoln
school for the coloi-ed.
This plan to give fruit to the
veterans at Temple was starded in
1951 by Mrs. R. Henderson Shuf
fler, wife of R. H. Shuffler the di
rector of information and college
publications.
Downs now plans to keep taking
the apples and oranges to the
veterans as long as he’s with the
college, since he believes it is one
way to show our appi’eciation and
gratitude to them.
‘Students Beat’

stitched, then we went home,” Ed
ward said. “After we got home,
we washed Hubert’s hair to get
the blood oht. ahd we found some
more cuts. We had to take him
back "to* the hospital to have them
stitched. He 5-eecived arodnd eight
stitches in a'J.”
Hubert said the blood ruined his
clothes and new pair of shoes. “It
was as if someone had thrown a
bucket of blood on him,” Walker
said.
> Gets License Number
One of the dates took the license
number of the hoodlum’s car. The
police learned the car was register
ed in the town of Alvin, 25 miles
south of Houston. No arrests had
been made.
“All four of them, had ducktail
haircuts,” Hubert said. “I don’t
think any of them were mo7’e than
20 years old. They were wearing
slacks and shirts.
“One was about 6’ 4” tall, anoth
er weighed about 195 pounds, and
the other two were about our size.”
Hubert is 5^ 6V2” and weighs 130
pounds, Edwai’d is 5’ 6”, 135 pounds
and Walker is 5’ 8” and weighs 140
pounds.
“They looked exactly like movie
‘prinks’,” Hubert said.
The students said they probably
would not file charges against the
hoodlums as they were afraid that,
if the thugs were members of a
gang, the gang might try to harm
their dates.
All three students were back in
school yesterday.
