The Battalion .... College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE a Friday, April 13, 1956 Battalion Editorials They Were Impressed A&M’s Corps of Cadets is to be congratulated for its fine showing in the Federal Inspection this week. The visiting inspectors, as reported on page one of this issue, said that they were both “impressed” and “had a pleasant visit.” Militarily and socially, then, A&M was on its toes for this annual event. The inspection was planned for and the plans well car ried out. Now, let’s not have the annual spring let-down, some thing that almost always comes right after the Parents Day program in a couple of weeks. School is almost out for the most students and over for many seniors—but some try to believe it comes a little early. Civilian students had their big day a month ago; the Corps is almost through with its big events. From here until the end of school is a very good time to settle down and fulfill the academic side of college life. Now is the time to really hit the books. Lots of Use Left Clean-up time for the Federal Inspection showed one thing for certain: many books and magazines are thrown away that could be given to the patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Temple. A quick look through dorms by a student revealed the literature being discarded; a quick look through the wards at the hospital could convince students that these books and magazines could be put to good use by the patients. All literature collected here are taken to these men. The idea for this was started by P. L. (Pinky) Downs, and in the past the program has been much appreciated by the patients. As students start to clear-out for home, a lot of reading matter will be discarded. Why not give to men who would like to have it? All literature taken up is kept in the office of Student Affairs by Bennie Zinn until it can be taken to the hospital a DON’T MISS • • • the 5th Annual Intercollegiate TALENT ; SHOW # m Featuring TALENT from 14 Colleges & 4 States with Kilgore Rangerettes • VOCALISTS • DANCERS • COMEDY Admission Only — $1 & $1.50 WHITE COLISEUM at 8 P.M.
