Battalion Editorials 5 a.?e 2 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1955 ;A Slight Shortage Elephants Lodge At Vet Hospital Last week, A&M hired a new basketball cnaeh, 10 days after the old one resigned. We’re sure the new coach is a good man, and we’re glad to have him at A&M, but his coming points up an interesting situation 1 ere. • The athletic department hired a high- prieed major-sport coach in less than two v/eeks, yet the college has vacancies in four dean positions. This is four out of eight or an even half. And three of these positions have been vacant for seven months—engineering, ba sic division, and the newly-created student personnel services.

While these positions are vacant, someone is having to do the job. Then someone has to do the job of the man that took over, and so on. The operation of the college is not vis- ably affected by these vacancies, because good men have taken over. But they’re spreading themselves out thin. There seems to be no doubt about A&M’s having an athletic empire in the near future. Maybe we ought to start trying for an aca demic empire, too.

Information as to how much in toxicants the two elephants re ceived was unavailable yesterday, but if it takes a half-pint to keep a 150 pound man warm, it would take about 15 pints for a 4500 pbund elephant. The circus which_ was brought here by the College Station Lions club was unable to give the two planned performances Saturday be cause of the cold and high wind. They could not set up their tent. To- fulfill legal obligations for advance ticket sales to Bryan and College Station merchants however, Hagen Brothers did hold an open-air show Saturday night. Even though all legal obliga tions were filled by the circus, Lions club members yesterday vot ed to refund the money to ticket holders.
