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

56-57 budget earlier than this
year’s was done. We can get an
idea 6f how much is needed for
the year and the tax rate can be
set to accomplish this need.”
This year’s rate was set at $1.05
per $100 of evaluation. 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.

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

me at first to be serious short

Leaguers, congratulations on their

Does going to church seem to you old-
fashioned?
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. Find
r yourself a faith that is steadfast—“the same
yesterday, today, and forever,”—yet modern as
tomorrow.
