The Battalion .... College Station (Brazos County}, Texas PAGE 6 Thursday, August 23,1956 Cash Refund for Two Weeks CHAIRS, CHAIRS, EVERYWHERE—These are the new tables and chairs that have been placed in Duncan Mess Hall this summer. Duncan, the second largest stationary mess hall in the world, serves the A&M students living in the south'area of the campus. The largest mess hall in the world is Sbisa, also located on the Aggie campus. Hinders Mail Service Postmen Bitten By Dogs “Unless dog- owners in College Station control their dogs, mail service may have to be stopped in some areas”, says Acting Post master Homer Adams. “We haven’t considered doing this yet”, added Adams, “and we want to cooperate with the public as far as possible, but entirely too many carriers .are being bitten in this area”. “Each bite requires the carrier to take a series of shots to prevent tetanus and sometimes rabies. These are time consuming as well as painful”, he said. The situation is this: Two local carriers were bitten rather badly in the last two weeks. In the last several years all the carriers in the city have been bitten at least once. Unless the dogs are effec tively controlled mail service can be stopped according to the Postal Manual, the book which governs mail service. “If the dog owners would con fine their dogs for an hour or so when the postman is due”, says Roger Jackson, Postal Foreman, “most of' the bites wouldn’t hap- Traditions (Continued from Page 4) the world is one of the most sacred. Just before the island of Correga- dor fell to the Japenese in the ear ly days of WWI, a group of Ag gies met on April 21 in a muddy fox hole and for a few minutes held their muster. Everywhere on this day Ag-gies meet and hold their Muster. The ceremony held on the campus is the largest and many noted persons have said a few words here at Muster. Another beautiful ceremony is Silver Taps, which is held when ever an Aggie is killed during the school year. All of the lights on the campus are turned out ^nd the students gather in front of the Academic Building to pay final tribute to their departed brother. There are many more customs and traditions here at A&M. It would take a book to list them all. It is these customs that make the school what it is today. The rich heritage of the past mixed with the technology of the present give to A&M something no other school has. Well, Mr. Smarty, who knows a good way to clean clothes with gasoline. . . . Maybe next time you’ll send them to — CAMPUS CLEANERS pen.” Canier Terry Westbrook, who serves the area north of Sulphur Springs Road says, “I’ve had sev eral bites in the last 18 months. It is a problem but I find that I can work it out fairly well with the owner. Most of them cooper ate with me.” At the South Gate, Postman T. C. Clay, who has been bitten 20 times in the past five years says, “People could make their dogs be have if they wanted to and if they knew the seriousness of the prob lem. Most of them are most co operative.” Clay is currently taking a series of shots for protection from a bite received last week. Postman Milton Byer who has the College Hills route says, “Everybody is vei’y helpful. A lot of them keep their dogs penned up when I come around.” Byer has been bitten three times and nipped at several times in the past two years. The solution to this problem lies with the dog owners themselves. Unless the people of College Sta tion control their dogs, house-to- house delivery may have to be stopped. A single dog can stop delivery in a whole block accord ing to the law. “We don’t want to have to stop delivery”, says Adams, “but our boys are tired of being nipped at, bitten and barked at for eight hours every day.” Unless the citizens of College Station take note of what Adams says the City Council may have to pass some kind of ordinance’ to control the dogs. of Tk*a& V&fetoA' PRICE DANIEL OF LIBERTY COUNTY FOR GOVERNOI PRICE DANIEL Stands For: y House-cleaning of official * misconduct .
