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
