physics department, was elected
chairman of a new Texas section of
the American Association of Phy
sics Teachers at a recent meeting
of the Texas Academy of Science
at San Antonio.

See where some kid got kicked out for
being a TT.
All he did was wear the organization’s
pin, have his picture made wearing the pin,
put a TT emblem on his car, and go to what
looked suspiciously like parties and meetings
with other students who had once been sus
pended for being TT’s.
This kid—McDade—knew that he was
back in A&M on a slim thread, but he seems
to have thought more highly of the True
Tools than of A&M. Now he has his wish.
He can be a TT into the hereafter, and does
n’t have to put up with being an A&M stu
dent.
McDade, like all the rest of the student
TT members, was an immature boy. The lure
of a secret society appealed to him, and ob
viously meant more to him than an educa
tion. The senseless bravado of wearing the
pin within shouting distance of the campus
is somewhat indicative of the group’s atti
tude.
He will probably claim that he got a
“raw deal,” and that he was persecuted.
Ridiculous. He knew what he was doing,
what the. chances were, and what the prob
able outcome would be. He just wanted to
show off.
Although the military panel flatly denies
any such thing, chances are that the TT
group is not as inactive as the college thinks
it is.
They’ve been seen together, have drunk
beer together, and on at least one reliably-
reported instance had a member of their last
year’s group who is now at another school
over here for a party with them. It’s quite
possible that some of their elders are in
there too.
They stick together, those boys. May
have even recruited some new members.
All of this boils down to one thing—A&M
is not rid of the TT’s, and isn’t going to be
until a lot more is made public than has been
in the past.
j And how did those guys get back in
school anyway?

NEW BUILDING—The architects drawing of the new Southwestern States Telephone
company building is shown above. The building will contain 4,560 feet of floor space,
and will be equipped with the most modern up-to-date facilities.
New Phone Building
To Be Built Soon
ANN BLY1H-EDMUND PURDIl
AND THE SINGING VOICE OF MARIO LANZA
Work is scheduled to begin
sometime in April on the proposed
Southwestern States telephone
company’s new building, according
to G. M. Brennan, division manag
er.
The building, which will contain
4,560 feet of floor space, will be
located across from the Catholic
student center. It will house the
complete facilities of the compa
ny, including the business office,
which has been in a separate build
ing.
The telephone coiupany plans to
go on the inter-toll system some
time in the latter part of the year.
This system will enable persons
in this area to make long distance
calls in a shorter time.
The operator simply dials the
number called for and the person
at that number answers the phone.
It does not go through any other
operator.
A call can be placed while the
operator is taking the phone num
ber and filling out a ticket.
Telephone numbers in this area
will be changed. When a number
is assigned, it will remain the same
until the phone is disconnected, or
the person moves away.
The telephone company mow op
erates on the terminal per station
line. This is where the number
changes every time a person moves
from one part of town to another.
The new building and dialing
system will not affect the telephone
rates, said Brennan.
The number of telephones in the
College Station area fluctuates,
Brennan said. Last year, a net
gain of 467 new phones were added.
The new building will contain
the most modem and up-to-date
equipment, he said. Delivery of
the equipment will start about Aug.
1, with a little «at a time being
sent. Installation has to be done
piece-meal.
Contract for the construction
has not been let.

Mrs. Emalita Terry, director of

requested for exhibition ih the Na
tional Academy gallery next May.
The painting, “Ships Graveyard”,
won a prize in San Antonio in Oc
tober.
Mrs. Terry is responsible for

WASHINGTON—The nation’s top military man and
a prominent Republican senator yesterday called for a
blockade of Red China if all else fails to win release of
imprisoned Americans. But Secretary of State Dulles,
employing- a Biblical phrase, said the United States
would be “slow to anger” in facing- issues which could
explode the peace. Supporting an Allied blockade as a
last-ditch maneuver were Adm. Arthur W. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Sen. H.
Alexander Smith (R-NJ).
