Aggies Have Opportunity
To Prove Their Sincerity
A&M students again this week will have
the chance to show they are working for the
best year in the school’s history when they
visit Houston for the football game.
Each man will be charged with the re
sponsibility of conducting himself in a way
that will bring credit upon himself and his
school.
Two weeks ago, Aggies who were on the
Southern Methodist university campus drew
praise from officials of both colleges fo^’ the
Alarming
Col. H. R. Brayton, director of the Fire
man’s Training school, announced some
alarming statistics recently.
He said that the College Station area had
16 volunteer firemen and two fire trucks to
protect about $46 million worth of property
and more than 8,000 persons.
The local fire department has a good rec
ord, but Brayton also said that no fire de
way they avoided fights. This weekend
could bring incidents unless the students who
go to Houston remember they are represen
tatives of A&M.
Five students from the University of
.Houston visited A&M last night as a wel
coming committee to bolster relations be
tween the two schools.
It is now up to the Aggies to prove their
sincerity in making A&M greater by con
ducting themselves as gentlemen while they
are in Houston.
Statistics
partment, no matter how good it is, can ade
quately protect its community.
That seems to throw the main burden of
fire prevention right back at the people.
As a little Arkansas school girl said in a
fire prevention essay, “The three main caus
es of fire are men, women, and children.”
The next time you use fire, in any form,
think about what a fire will cost you, and be
careful.

section be on a first-come, first-
served basis, rather than by clas
sification.
It was decided to ask the newly-
formed Civilian Student Council
to decide how the civilian students
would be seated within their sec
tion.
Care of Reveille
In other business, the senate de
cided to form a committee to in
vestigate who would take care of
Reveille, A&M’s mascot.
Quoting a letter from Bennie
Zinn, head of the student affairs
department, Ramsey said that the
band had not been feeding the dog,
and that some definite arrange
ment had to be made for her care.
The senate also certified the
Aggie Sweetheart, Miss Judy Nuhn
of TSCW, as the official A&M rep
resentative for all functions for
which A&M is invited to send a
representative.
The group said that if Miss
Nuhn was unable to attend the
runners-up in the sweetheart selec
tion would be asked to represent
the school.
The question of expense money
for the Sweetheart was referred
to the senate budget committee.
Another committee was formed
to work with the senior class in
investigating the problem of lights
left on during the Silver Taps me
morial ceremonies.
The agenda item on “crowding of
Memorial Student Center facilities
by short course visitors” was drop
ped after a short discussion.
B. F. (Buddy) Vance jr. was se
lected as the senate’s representa
tive on the MSC Council.
Five student visitors from the
University of Houston spoke to the
senate at the end of the meeting,
welcoming the Aggies to Houston
foi* the game this week.
