1 S' Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, August 25, 1955 Lutheran Meeting Ends Sunday wmm The normal quietness and va- cSntness of sun-baked A&M has been changed this week. On the campus until Sunday are 4,102 per sons here for the 12th Internation al Luther League Convention of the American Lutheran Church. There are cowboys everywhere, since the convention is given the western slant of the traditional bow-legged Texas cowboys. Some how, a few Indians also have been seen running loose in their color ful feathered headdresses. To complete the Western idea a facsimile city, “Windy Junction,” of the. old West was built across the street from the west side of the Memorial Student Center. This city includes A&M’s first saloon, a picture of which will be found on this page. The hard likker there is soft drinks. But despite the gaiety of the flowing crowd the Leaguers are not here just for entertainment. A full and complete program is set up in keeping with the convention theme: “God’s Love—My Life.” r Jhe program for the meeting in to A&M students. This has caused ill feeling in students toward the convention goers. Most of the fuss raised by Ag gies has been due to seeing the Leaguers with their hats on in the MSC and also seeing them eludes Bible studies, business ses- walk across the grass. With such sions, League district meetings, Choral Union rehearsals, Singspir- ations, sunrise Matins, vesper serv ices and other specal programs. A special Anniversary Pageant was presented Tuesday night. It was produced and directed by the Rev. Roald Braulicy of Taylor, Tex. “Operation Witness” is a special program planned for tonight. The Leaguers are staying in college dormitories, and special guards have been set up to keep the girls’ dormitories “off limits” a crowd it would be beyond ex pectations to keep them entirely in hand. Several college officials concerned with the convention have expressed the belie# that the Leaguers have done a good job in abiding by college and Center reg ulations. It was also said by an employee of the MSC that the Lutherans have behaved much bet ter then persons here in groups much smaller than that which is now on the campus. So despite a few grumblings $362,684 Total Consolidated Sets Budget The A&M Consolidated School Board Tuesday adopted a budget of $362,684 for the System’s com ing 1955-56 school year. The board also approved pro-rating the school’s debt over the next two or three years. This is to be accom plished by refunding on bonds. A breakdown of expenditures shows the administration expenses as $17,200; $183,552 for white in struction; $44,463 for Negro in struction; $33,000, cafeteria; $13,- 194, transportation; $22,940, opera tion and maintenance of the plant; and $40,690.38, fixed charges and debt services. Receipts for the budget are fig ured as follows: federal funds, $13,038.20; state funds, $231,877; county funds, $357; and local funds (taxes,' cafeteria collection and city bus collection), $117,412. The board faced two problems in setting up the budget, said John S. Rogers, head of the board. These were providing enough funds to continue to provide the facilities to keep A&M Consolidated at the high level of operation it now has and the paying off of the current obligations of the school. Rogers said the board believed that its action Tuesday would ac complish both ends. Under the refunding on bonds the board was able to provide A&M Consolidated with more money. $17,000 which would have gone to pay on the school’s current ob ligations (bonds) was saved.for this year’s budget by refunding— the payment of the obligation will be handled by the bank and pay ment to the bank will be over a longer period of time. In brief when the $17,000 comes due the bank will pay it. Consol idated will pay the bank over a longer period of itme. When asked about the possibil ity of the school tax being raised for the 1956-57 school year, Rog ers said, “We can’t tell at this time just how much money we will Health Report Seven cases of communicable diseases in College Station were reported to the Bryan-Brazos County Health Unit during the week ending Aug. 20. Four of these were strept throat, two diar rhea, and one gonorrhea. f GROCERIES ^ Niblets—Whole Kernel — 12 Oz.

It was done in March, before the budget meeting, at the request of the city. The city wanted to print the rate on its tax forms. from some students, the conven tion goes on. The Leaguers ap pear to be having a wonderful time and also are accomplishing the work and service they came here for. One A&M student said, “I was kind of mad at first when I saw them wearing their hats in the MSC and walking across the grass. Then I thought of the way that many Aggies act. The Lutherans do not know all of our traditions— but our own students do. After this I felt a little more broadmind ed toward what had appeared to me at first to be serious short comings on the part of the Leag uers.” (Ed. note: Welcome to the Leaguers, congratulations on their 25th anniversary, and may they have a good time. Maybe they do unknowingly fail to observe a few of the traditions that surround FIRST SALOON—Poncho’s Cabaret, located across the street from the east wing of the certain aspects of the Center, but Student Center, is A&M’s first saloon.

Well, it is, for worship is as old as creation, vet ever-new. J In church buildings before the fourteenth cen tury there were no seats. Worshippers stood, c r sat on cold damp floors. Later, three-legged stools were used. Today, churches compare with our finest build- *ng s * n rood® 1-11 b eaut y* comfort, and convenience. Our speech habits have changed with advancing enerations. Scriptural style, too, has changed, • ^ t neither meaning nor intent has been altered. The Bible’s message remains the same—a gospel f good news filled with faith, hope, and love— * r you, the same as for your forefathers. ^Then'be 0 id-fashioned. Go to church.
