;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.
Of course, part of the reason is that
deans are harder to come by than coaches,
and the money being offered is probably an-

publlC. tendants spent most of Friday
But still, seven months is a long time— i nij?ht pouring- bourbon and whiskey
and the best promise the college has made is flown an 86 and a 50-year-old ele-
that something will be done by the end of i Vaant to protect then- health
,, . against the cold, they decided it
this year.
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.

mals in a warm building.
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. Those who wish a refund
should contact the Lions club mem
ber from whom they bought the
tickets.
All money which is not refunded
will go into the club fund for crip
pled children. Boy Scout work,
school awards, and other Lions
club projects.
