Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1955 Looking Ahead If we’re not convinced by the khaki-colored cadre of cadet officers and non-coms rumbling around the campus, tomorrow’s invasion by some 2,000 new students should prove to everyone that summer has ended and the new school year is upon us. After the peace and quiet of the summer here at A&M it will probably come as a relief to many to have once more the bustling which attends all activities at this, and any other, school. We’ve got a lot to look forward to in the next year—both from an academic and a non-academic stand point. Of course, many students do not think of getting some more “book learning” as any thing to look forward to, but they will grow to appreciate the opportunities for advance ment and knowledge offered here at A&M. Some will sneak through, some will just sneak around, and some will fall out along the way. As far as activities are concerned the renewal of the old American institution of football will steal the spotlight on the campus for the next few months. And with the football games come the campus-wide dances. And with the foot ball games and the dances come girls. They, however, go home; other aspects of the college are immovably around. September should be pretty quiet except for registra tion, football, and the vote by the students on whether a student union fee is to be charged. But there’s always November. November. Football, and football with the University of Texas—the school that A&M annually beats the “next year.” And with the game with our friends in Austin comes the chance for Aggies to show their muscles and the knowledge of forestry picked up in the Boy Scouts. For it’s Bonfire time—the time where Aggies build a huge fire to symbolize the burning desire in their hearts to beat TU—-(next year). But this year? We’ve got the team that may fulfill the dreams of the Aggies; we could beat the University. And that’s not all we’ve got for the coming year. Sbisa Hall has been redone. Now we can have our foot ball victories and celebrate them properly in a pleasant at- jnosphere. And, don’t worry, we have plenty of sidewalks so you won’t get your feet muddy when you walk to one of our activity centers. But the best thing we’ve got that’s new is some deans to fill the empty places that we had last year. And we have got some very good ones, too. In the days to come you’ll meet these new men. And you should be glad to do so, for they are trying to fulfill the supreme purpose of an educational in stitution like A&M—they’re here to try to help you get some knowledge. $25 OFF LIST PRICE NEW 1955 MODELS ^^civorites By Kerstin Ekfelt Battalion Woman’s Editor The following might be called a foods column for beginners, for the following recipes all can be classed as “easy to make.” In fact, they are so simple that even I can cook them with some degree of success. 1-2-3-4 CAKE This is one of my grandmother’s recipes, it hasn’t failed yet. 1 cup butter or shortening 2 cups sugar 3 cups flour 4 eggs As far as I know. Cream shortening and sugar. 3 t. baking powder 1 cup milk 1 t. vanilla and Vz t. lemon extract % t. salt (Use butter instead of shortening if you want a heavier cake like a pound cake.) Add egg yolks and beat well. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with milk. Add vanilla and lemon flavoring. Beat batter until very smooth with no lumps. Beat egg whites until frothy but not stiff, and fold into batter. Bake in greased and floured tube pan at 350 degrees about one hour. There are any number of ways to vary this basic recipe. Marble cake, spice cake and jelly cake are only a few of the possibilities. OATMEAL COOKIES These aren’t crisp like many oatmeal cookies. They have a softer, bread-like texture. cup sugar 1 t. vanilla 1 cup shortening 4 cups flour 2 eggs 1 t. soda 2 cups oatmeal 1 t. salt 1 cup raisins Nuts and coconut (optional) Put raisins in a boiler and cover with water. Simmer for 20 minutes and then allow to cool in the refrigerator. Cream sugar and shortening and add eggs, beating well. Then add oatmeal, and the raisins with the raisin water. Add also nuts and/or coconut, if you are using either, and the vanilla flavoring. Sift dry ingredients and add. (You may need a little more flour than railed for,) Drop by tea spoons on greased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees until done. STICKIES The first step in preparing stickies is to have biscuits for supper so that you will have some left over the next day. Split left-over bis cuits in half and pour into a heavy iron skillet enough syrup to cover the biscuits—but don’t add the biscuits yet.. Add to the syrup a gener ous hunk of butter, and bring contents of skillet to boil. Then add your biscuit halves and cook slowly, being careful not to burn, until biscuits are candied and it looks like it’s done. GERMAN CRUMB CAKE This is a perfectly delicious one that my aunt passed along to us. 3 cups flour 1 cup buttermilk 2 cups brown sugar 1 t. soda 1 cup shortening, oleo or butter 1 egg Vz t. salt % cup finely cut nuts Crumb flour, brown sugar, salt and shortening together, and put aside one cup of crumbs. Beat egg, and add to it sour milk and soda. Add remaining crumbed ingredients and beat well. Pour into a greased and floured oblong pan. Mix together the reserved cup of crumbs and the half cup of nuts, and sprinkle this over the top. Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes.

The Student Publications Bo^rd, August 2, 1955, ruled that all campus organiza tions which have dues, charge admissions or have an appropriate other source of income will be charged for space in fu ture Aggieland yearbooks. The new rul ing specifically affects R.O.T.C. units, civilian dorms and intercollegiate sports in that those organizations will be charg ed for space beginning in the 1956 Aggie land. On the' same date, the Board ruled that the space rates would be reduced for all organizations from $55 to $50 per page and from $35 to $30 per half page. The action was taken to broaden the basis of charging for purposes of consistency and equality. The net additional income ex pected will be used to offset higher print ing costs and the loss of the Football Program concession from the Student Publications Program. Ross Strader.
