Senate Meeting The Student Senate will hold a special meeting tonight to dis cuss raising of the price of foot ball date tickets in order to get a larger student allocation of seats.

The Battalion Page 2 THURSDAY, MARC H8, 1956 Civilian Student Day Civilian Student Day will be held Saturday in Sbisa Hall. The above statement should be enough to draw interest from all civilian students, for this is the second special day set aside for those students of A&M who are not in the Corps of Cadets. But it will take more than just interest to make a suc cess of the day; it will take the active participation and support of the civilian students—and Corps students, who have been invited to join in the festivities. Some guests from the surrounding area will also join the fun. Time after time, we’ve heard the statement, “Aw, there’s nothing to do around here. Let’s go home.” The Civilian Student Council is providing something to do Saturday. A lot of money and even more valuable time, except when the bills roll in, have been spent by the students working on and advertising the program. They have done all they can do. The rest will be up to students to make the day a success. A lot of talent has been rounded up for this western jamboree in Sbisa Hall. And a lot of barbecue is ready for those who bought tickets, which, by the way, sold very well. Following the barbecue will be the dance, which will have “singing and picking” for those inclined toward west ern and hillbilly music, and “rock-and-roll,” plus some plain old popular music, for those couples desiring a different, or just a change of musical atmosphere The Civilian Council has tried to bring in a good show. But it takes two to make a good show—performers and dancers and listeners.
