New Coliseum Wing
Nears Completion
By CHARLES DAVIS
Battalion Staff Writer
The new wing now being built
onto the G. Rollie White coliseum
will house the physical education
department’s facilities next fall,
according to C. E. Tishler, head
of the department.
Lower Cost
Tishler said the main reason for
building the new wing is that it
can be constructed at a lower cost
than would be required to remodel
DeWare field house. Also, the
new wing will be more easily ac
cessible to members of the depart
ment who have their offices in the
coliseum.
According to Tishler, the ground
floor of the new wing will house
three offices, a small corrective
gymnasium, and an enclosed punch-

The second floor will house six
small gymnasiums, and the third
floor will have a large gymnastics
room and a large floor that will
accommodate either three basket
ball courts, five volleyball courts,
or nine badminton courts.

TB Seal Sale
Totals $4,822
On Monday
Miss Malcolm M c I n n i s,
Christmas seal chairman for
the Brazos County Tubercu
losis association, reported
$4,822.98 has been collected
for the TB drive.
This does not include funds from
College Station community chest
and Bryan air force base, she said.
In past years, Christmas seals
have been sent to students in other
colleges of Texas. This year, for
the first time, Christmas seals were
distributed to A&M students.
Last year, $5,000 was collected
fi*om seal sales but the association
hopes to raise more than that
amount this year. Each year, how
ever, the budget has been cut be
cause of the lack of funds. The
average total cost per patient is
$15,000.
The health unit, local doctors
and hospitals, and the tuberculosis
association cooperate on a weekly
free tuberculosis clinic seiwing per
sons unable to pay.
The address of the BGTA is the

Whe
n
you
was the
drove a
last time
Ford?
If you haven*t stepped inside
a 1955 Ford and tried
new Trigger-Torque power
you don't know how much
fun driving can be
Of course, you’ve seen it . . . and heard about it.
But when was the last time you actually got
behind the wheel and drove a Ford?
If you haven’t driven a Ford lately, you’re in
for a thrilling experience. Ask anyone who has!
For, this Ford is totally unlike any car you’ve
ever taken for a spin . . . unless you’ve put a Ford
Thunderbird through its paces. The Thunderbird,
you know, inspired the styling in all 16 of Ford’s
new models this year.
Inside Ford’s Luxury Lounge interior you’ll find
fresh new two-tone colors . . . rich new fabrics . . .
totally new door paneling . . . and a sweeping new
control panel.
And the way this ’55 Ford behaves is something
which only a Test Drive can describe. But here’s
a hint: Ford’s new Trigger-Torque power responds
to your wishes in as little as 7/100 of a second
. . . and this power is yours in Ford's new 162-h.p.
Y-block V-8,182-h.p. Y-block Special V-8 or a new
120-h.p. I-block Six.
There are many, many more surprises in this
completely new Ford. To get the full story, why
not accept our invitation and take a Test Drive?
Come in for a Test Drive
and you’ll want to drive it home
