and shoes with pebbled finish.
Green belts will not be worn with
green pants, khaki belts must be

Aggielands Arrive In

The biggest, brightest and earl
iest Aggieland ever, arrived at the
Office of Student Publications last
week and is being- passed out as
quickly as possible.
A constant stream of students
has been seen entering the new of
fices where the annuals are being-
distributed and only a few minor
casualities have been reported
from student walking into trees
and in front of cars while engross
ed in the 544-page book.
A number of “firsts” can be
claimed by members of the 1956
Aggieland Staff. Aside from arriv
ing earlier in the year and having-
more pages this year’s annual has
a handy index of names and what
pages to find the person’s picture
and organization page numbers. A
constant reminder of the ambition
of last year’s staff is the color
you see upon opening the book.
Each outfit is defined by its tra
ditional color at the top of the

MVI Inspection
Date Set by State
The Texas Public Safety Com
mission has set September 15, 1956
to April 15, 1957, as the period
during which automobiles and other
motor vehicles must be inspected
under provisions of the State’s Mo
tor Vehicle Inspection law.
Col. Homer Gax-rison, Jr., Direc
tor of the Texas Department of
Public Safety, said in announcing
the Commission’s action that mo
torists should avail themselves of
the oppoi-tunity to have their autos
inspected as soon after September
15 as possible in order to avoid the
inconvenience and delay which is
usually associated with the end of
the seven-months period by the
“log jam” of car owners who wait
until just before the deadline to
have their vehicles safety checked.
George W. Busby, Chief of the
DPS Motor Vehicle Inspection Div
ision, stated that the more than
4,200 licensed inspection stations
in the State would have sufficient
supplies of stickers on hand by
the starting date and would ba
equipped to check vehicles without
delay.
