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.

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.
