Get Out And Vote
Saturday is a day when Texans can show their respect
for those men that gave their lives fighting for our nation.
A Journalism professor once told me, “The cardinal sin
of Journalism is to take things for granted!” This statement
applies not only to Journalism but to our nation today.
Too many of us take too much for granted. The right to
vote is one of these many things we take for granted. Texans
boast an outstanding record in the national election of 1952—
87 percent of our eligible voters cast their votes—but the
nation as a whole did not fare so well.
Only 52 per cent of those eligible to vote in the United
States cared enough about the hard-won priviledge to mark
the candidate of their choice.
This year a record number of Texans have paid poll
taxes—2,400,188—this could be the year Texas will top the
90 per cent mark, but it will take the cooperation of all of
us to see that this is done.
Don’t let your neighbor tell you “My vote doesn’t mean
anything!” Remind him of the way Senator Lyndon John
son got his nickname of Landslide, or tell him that in 1952
Adlai Stevenson carried the state of Kentucky by only 700
votes over Eisenhower. That meant there was only a margin
of seven one hundredths of one per cent between the two
candidates. You can easily see that ever single vote carries
a load.
Don’t let complacency become the watchword of our
nation.
We Texans are quick to brag about our state, let’s give
the people of other states and nations a mark Saturday that
will be hard to beat . . . Austrians, in their last national elec
tion marked up 94 per cent vote . . . can’t w r e go them one bet
ter, not just brag about, but to show how proud we are of
this country we live in and believe in.
Saturday, and all days like it, make it YOUR business to
to see that your family and friends go and vote for the man
of their choice. dtm
City Council
(Continued from Page 1)
Final reading of Ordnance num
ber 231 was heal'd and passed.
(This is a land annexation ordnance
concerning property in the College
Hills and south of A&M Consoli
dated School areas.)
Councilmen awarded a contract
for electrical supplies for the city
to the General Electric Corporation
and authorized Ran Boswell, city
manager, to negotiate with Bryan
REA to provide electricity to newly
annexed areas of the city.
Opening the regular meeting of
the city council at the city hall
Monday night at 7 p.m. the coun
cilmen heard Gibb Gilchrist present
a proposal for construction of an
underpass at the gi'ade crossing
on farm road 60 across from Halls’
Humble Station.
Gilchrist ' is of the opinion that
if the city were to provide right-
of-way the state will furnish the
money for construction of a suit
able crossing. It will require an
estimated 60 to 70 feet of addi
tional right of way north of Farm
Road 60 on both sides of the tracks.
This would include the lots now
occupied by Aggieland Florist and
Halls’ Humble Station. Councilmen
put the matter under consideration.
Boswell was authorized by the
council to accept bids on two trucks
for the city. These will replace
vehicles that are beyoild repair
now owned by the city.
Mayor Langford read recommen
dations of the Zoning Committee
concerning requests of Matt Cooley
and I. P. Cooner and the council
passed Ordnance 232 concerning
these recommendations. (See page
5 for the complete Ordnance)
Other water problems discussed
included the laying of jwaterlines
between College Hills and South-
side areas. Boswell outlined the
plan, which includes the installa
tion of a checkvalve where College
Station and Bryan water mains
meet and was authorized to accept
bids on the jobs.
Mayor Langford read a letter
from Midwest Video Corp. which
stated construction of lines to serve
the College Hills addition of the
city started July 10 and will be
finished by July 31. No date was
mentioned as to how long it would
be before lines would be installed
to serve the Southside addition.
An oi'dnance concerning Social
Security for the city employees was
passed by the council. In the fu
ture employees will be covered un
der this new act.
Councilmen present at the meet
ing included Mayor Ernest Lang
ford, Marion Pugh, A. P. Boyett,
Ernest Seeger, Joe Sorrels and city
manager Boswell.

Letters to the Editor
ED NOTE: We received the
following - letters from Dr. C. C.
Doak of the Biology Dept.. We
were astounded to find courtesy
between classes like this, espe
cially where air - conditioned
classrooms were at stake. This
took place during the first se
mester this summer.
July 5, 1956
To the members of Biol. 107
9 a.m. class—
We, the committee, representing
the History 326 class, wish to ex
press to you and through you our
sincere thanks for permitting us
to use the Biology Lecture Room
for our class. It is our understand
ing that your Biology class voted
to make this air-conditioned class
room available to us and used
one of the regular classrooms for
your own class. The members of
the class and of this committee,
have never heard of another in
stance in this college where a cour
tesy so gracious and thoughtful
was extended by one college class
to another. We shall each try not
to forget this thoughtfulness and
reciprocate to you or to some other
group should the opportunity arise.
For the committee,
(numerous names)
ED NOTE: The history class
outnumbered the biology class
and was having trouble finding
a place to meet when the biology
class voted to give them their
class room. The Biology class
answered the letter above with:

We of the Summer class in Biol
ogy 107 have had our faith in the
