The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Friday, November 16, 1956 Take Time To Help Once again the familiar collection tubs will be placed at the gates of Kyle Field Saturday as the plea goes out to contribute to the Bill Curry Fund. Curry, hurt last Spring in a gymnastic accident and bed ridden ever since, still is in dire need of medical treatment. Since his injury continuously develops new complications, the Curry family budget has been heavily taxed. Staying at his bedside, Curry's mother is unable to work and help meet the growing expenses and the income derived by his father as a public school teacher isn’t enough to handle all of the bills. As we enter the stadium tomorrow with spirits high, anticipating an exciting afternoon, let's take enough time to stop and drop some money in the tubs placed at each gate. Our contribution will, perhaps, make life a little brighter for the Curry family. Senate Hits Snag Running smoothly until last night, our budding Senate stumbled when it refused the idea of Corps versus Civilians in the Twelfth Man Bowl football game. Although recommended by the committee to study the annual bowl game, the senators killed the idea for various reasons, none of which seem to have much merit. Foremost among these were such ideas as, the game wouldn’t be representative of the school since the Corps actually represented A&M, the game would increase friction already existing between the two groups and because the school wasn’t ready for the two groups to play each other. Someone voiced the idea that we wait a few years until we are more ready for it. Arguments for the idea were that through competition the two groups would be brought closer together and that more interest would be created, thus bringing in more money, which is one of the primary reasons for the game. Money from the game is used for the Twelfth Man Bowl scholarship and the student aid fund, both of which have helped many students in time of need. These reasons are quite thought provoking. One might ask since when is the 12th man restricted to a uniform? Close inspection alone will reveal the shallowness of the statement that we should wait until we are more ready. Since money from the game is the primary motive and that Corps vs. Civilians would increase interest plus the fact that it is very unlikely the game would increase friction, it appears that the senators didn’t use very much logic on this question. and please Sir, let it snow, rain, sleet and hail Jan. 1st.” I NEED THESE USED BOOKS History 106 Physics 203, 204 M.E. 212 Descriptive Geometry 106 LOUPOT Range And Forestry Turkey Shoot Monday Over 100 Thanksgiving turkeys will be given away Monday at the annual Range and Forestry Club Turkey Shoot to be held from 2 until 8 p.m. at the Kyle Field rifle range, according* to Dean .Bibles, chairman of ticket sales.
