Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1955 Growing Prestige Filings are now open for the general elec tions, which is mainly for Student Senate seats. The Student Senate has some faults, but it is by far the most efficient all-student group that meets around here. Its record of things accomplished is good, and its record of assinine acts is small this year. The senate may go off on a tangent every once in a while, but by and large it is a sen sible, mature organization. Its members, all of them elected by the student body, have a real interest in what is best for A&M, and they sincerely try to ac complish this. Many of their recommendations to the administration have been put into effect, and this has caused the group to grow in practice. Not too many years ago, the senate.was looked upon as a low-grade debate club, where a few disgruntled students gathered to blow off steam. Now it is looked a*t as the most represen tative voice of the student body, and its rec ommendations carry the weight of this pres tige. It’s a good organization to be a member of, and filing for this election is the first step. Election Results Here are the complete returns with the number of votes per per son, of last Tuesday’s class elec tions. Names in boldface are the winners. If one name is in bold face for a particular office, that person won Tuesday. If more than one name in in boldface, those per sons will be in the run-offs. Class Agent, Class of ’55 C. R.

He will leave soon to assume duties in Saltillo, Mexico, where the program is now organized. Mcllroy spent two years in In dia on a similar program under the Foreign Operations administration.

Entries for the Chick, Poult and Egg Show here May 7 are now be ing - accepted, according to John Williams, president of the Poultry Science club, which sponsors the show. Any hatchery man, breeder commercial poultryman who wishes to enter can contact Williams for an entry blank. ( “A new method of selecting chicks for judging is being used this year,” Williams said. “Chicks will be selected at random in the hatchery by a disinterested person, usually the county agent or a teacher of vocational agriculture, and will be shipped to the college for the show. “This way, prizes will be award ed on the basis of average quality in hatching chicks, rather than for a selected sample,” he said. Poult and market egg - entries will be chosen by owners and ex hibitors. Winners in the show will receive trophies. All entries in the show Leipper To Speak Dr. Dale F. Leipper head of the oceanography department of A&M will be the guest speaker at the annual regional meeting of the South Texas division of the Texas Academy of Science in Brbwns- ville, April 15-16. Now Open Egg Show will be sold at auction, with the proceeds going to the Poultry Sci ence club, Williams said. From this fund, one scholarship is given each year for poultry study, and two judging teams are sent to regional and national con tests. Harold Klinksiek 27 W. (Bill) Meals 36 David A. Terry 42 W.
