i P^ge 4 THE BATTALION We^nes^ay, Oc^ber 6, 1954 HI, SCHOOL ' Members of the Band Boosters club are hard at work getting’ ready for the big carnival which they will sponsor October 23 to raise money for band uniforms and instruments. A similar affair, staged last spring, was an out standing success and many popular features will be repeated. « The Lions club is cooperating in the project and will again provide the popular dunking pond. Super intendent Les Richarson, principals J. J. Skrivanek jr. and W. T. (Rie del, and a member of the board of education have all volunteered to be targets. Marion Pugh Lumber Co. and Dale Construction Co. are donating materials for booths which will be erected by members of the Kiwanis club under supervision of Dr. E. E. Ivy. Patrol Leader George Lit- top with a group of boy scouts of troop 102 will erect tents for the fortune teller and palmist. The identity of the fortune tel ler is restricted, but the palm-read- «r will be Dr. Isaac Peters, blue cheese specialist with the A&M dairy department. Dr. Peters learn ed his art from a band of Russian gypsies. There also will be pony rides, fish pond, country store and move- ing pictures. The band will ma neuver, a magician will mystify and there will be a four-act floor show. Through the courtesy of the Bet ter Homes Appliance store CHS students were able to watch the World series on television. A set was installed in the library where everyone who had free periods could watch. While the outcome of the series is history, a new controversy has arisen, namely how to spend the fund which students contributed for the privilege of watching the games. Some favor using it to start a fund toward the purchase of a TV set for the school; others feel a water cooler would be of more value. The- Round-up staff sponsored a cake sale Monday to raise funds for publishing the school paper and collected $11.64. Mrs. C. H. Blum assisted with the project, and re porters, editors and artists laid aside their pencils long enough to stir up some good home-made cakes, thereby proving that news- Hallowe’en Dance Planned By MSC Final plans for the blue jean dance to celebrate Halloween were made at the Business wives club jmeeting Monday night.

LETTERS (Continued from Page 2) being written (we non-regs aren’t too well informed, you know). In any case, I would like to see such a book published. I also think it would be wise if this book were made required reading for all new students, and it would probably be wise for all students to brush up on their Aggie Etiquette by reading such a book. Last night as I turned to walk away from Silver Taps I saw three men light cigarettes before even leaving the spot upon which they stood while Silver Taps were be ing played. I always thought that Silver Taps was a reverent occas ion and that while going back to the dorms there was to be no talk ing or smoking. I don’t believe these men had been informed of this, otherwise I believe they would have acted in accordance. I also have seen many other things which would probably seem small to some people, but which actually mean a gxeat deal to me. If one of the Battalion staff writers would run a series of ar ticles about Aggie traditions and customs it would prove valuable to everyone on the campus, the Fresh men particularly.
