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.

Letters to the Editor
Editor, Battalion: A
Re: your petty criticism of my
selection of words in a letter print
ed in yesterday’s (Tuesday’s) Bat

“ReVIEW,” no! ReVUE, yes!
It’s a French word meaning a rep
ortrayal; it’s acceptable in good
English—and I happen to like it.
