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 —

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.
