monies. Henderson won 14 letters
while in A&M, three in football,
four in basketball, three in track,
two in baseball and one in swim

attend the game Saturday with his
wife and family.

Department would not allow the
student body to hold a yell prac
tice outside of a building and no
building has been provided for the
occasion.

Owls at 2 p.m. in Rice Stadium.
Then, the student body is on its
own—to celebrate or to just have

any field already cared for; we just
provide money when it is needed.”

Pits Cattle-Guard
Destroyed Twice
A complaint has been received
concerning what appears to be wil-
full destruction of the cattle-guard
at the entrance to the road lead
ing to the clay pits off of old high
way 6.
The persons who have the prop-
ert rented to graze cattle have had
the guard destroyed twice this
school year. With the guard cross
ing the ditch there removed, cars
have, in order to get out of the
clay pits area, had to cross the
ditch at a shallow place—and in
so doing have torn down the fence.
Some of the cattle which have
escaped have not yet been found.
Renters of the property have said
that the area will be posted against
anyone using the grounds if the
destruction of the guard and the
fence is not stopped.
They asked that the persons,
who probably are A&M students
since the clay pits area is a favor
ite of Aggies, stop the destruction
without the necessity of them hav
ing to go to college officials about
the matter.
AH Field Trip
Animal Husbandry 418 students

Braunfels and San Angelo this
