/ 4 Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1954 Seniors Can Help Build Living Room With $1,500 to spend, the class of ’54 now has the choice of starting a fund for a new wing to the Memorial Student Center or donating toward a new scoreboard for Kyle field. Even on the face value of these two suggestions, it looks like the new wing to the MSC would help the college more than the scoreboard. But when it is considered that the scoreboard will prob ably be built whether or not the class of ’54 donates toward it, the choice is obvious. In 1939, the senior class of that year voted to use their class gift money to start a trust fund toward the building of a student center. In 1945, their class gift paid off with what is now the living room of the campus. If the class of ’54 decides to use their class gift for the MSC, it will mean sooner or later the new wing will definitely be built. The money will be put in a trust fund, set aside so it cannot be used for any other purpose. It would be a good start to the tremendous fund-raising drive that would build the new wing. This new wing, which has been in the planning stage for several years, would contain a theater for student plays, more meeting rooms, offices, and work rooms, and more guest rooms. Texas A&M needs these facilities, and now the seniors have a chance to start the drive that would bring them here. j oIj Calls ★ • March 20—The Gulf Oil corpo ration wall interview June and sum mer graduates in Petroleum Engi neering (B.
