2nd Time Around
Honors Seniors
By JOE BUSER
A solemn group of seniors will take their places tomor
row afternoon at 3:30 to salute their outfits as they march
by. Tomorrow; is their last day at A&M; the review, their
Final Review.
Final Review is one of A&M’s most cherished traditions.
It is a time of mixed emotions for all classes. For the under
classmen, it means adding a class, a new job and new respon
sibilities.. Fbr the graduating seniors it means leaving the
“West Point on the Brazos" and joining the long Maroon and
White line that stretches around the world. The familiar
strains of “the War Hymn" and “Final Review Medley" "will
ling in their ears long after their spurs have rusted and their
boots have lost their shine. ; : 1— ~ ~~~ i ~
A&M is more than a school; ^ Be
Dangerous To
Manhole Wires
Any large amount of water
which might run into the elec
tric manhole in front of Dun-
fcan Mess Hall could cause a
great deal of damage, J. K.
Walter, superintendent of Build
ing & College Utilities said yester
day.
The manhole, which houses a
junction box from the power plant
for all the dorms in the hew Corps
area, was short-circuited Wednes
day night shortly after midnight,
leaving the area without lights
for several hours. Temporary re
pairs have been made on the wir
ing, but water standing in the
manhole could result in more dam
age. - -
“The explosion and short circuit
Wednesday night were definitely
not caused by water in the hole,
it’s a brotherhood of men,
working for a common goal
and if does not end with grad
uation.
The review, will be in two parts,
as in the past'. The “first time
around” will be In honor of Maj.
Gen. Gabriel P. Disosway, com
mander of Plying Training Air
Force, Waco, who is presenting
the Air Force commissions. The
review will follow regular review
procedure except for the omission
of “Officers and Colors Front.
After a short break, for the un-
derclasshnen to don the uniform of
their new class and the seniors to
form the two lines in front of the
reviewing stand, the second half
of the review will begin. As the
units pass in review, the seniors
will salute their outfit and there
by join the long Maroon and White
line. ■.

The senior was attacked by the
disease while participating in
intrarhurals over two weeks ago.
Zuckero, whose, family farm is
under water as a result of the
recent floods, has had $1,351 raised
for him by the combined efforts
of his fellow Aggies and the Sky
way Drive-In Theatre.
The original plan called for the
Aggies to donate $G00, but the goal
was soon reached and then passed
to the tune of $1,300. The Skyway
donated half their gate last night
to the fund adding another $51.
Zuckero’s recovery is very costly
with hospital expenses climbing
$100 per day.

Civilian Student Council mem
bers supported the present non-
compulsory Corps system last
night and sent their opinion on
to the A&M Board of Directors.
The Council was asked to give
its opinion by President D. W.
Williams as a part of a report to
the Board on feelings and facts
about the present system.
This action by the Civilian group
follows close on the heels of a vote
by the Academic Council of the
College strongly favoring the non-
compulsgry system.
Expression of the opinions are
part of an effort by the Board
of Directors to learn information
to aid them in coming to a decision
whether or not the present Corps
system will be abolished and com-

pulsory Corps instituted.
Council members also made a
positive step toward solving the
Civilian junior, senior and grad
uate seating on Kyle Field by send
ing their recommendation to the
Student Senate.
They suggested that the. Senate
allow Civilian juniors, seniors and
graduates to be given colored
tickets for the classes. These
tickets would be in five sections,
four of which would be torn off
at each of the four home games.
The specifically marked tickets
would be taken up at the classes’
ramp entrance and given back if
a student wanted to leave the ramp
for some reason.
The fifth section of the ticket
would name the ticket and include
the student’s signature. These
would be used in addition to
regular season tickets.
If John Hoffman meets all necessary qualifications, he
will be the first candidate for a student office winning on
write-in votes “as far as I know,” said W. D. (Pete) Hardes
ty, of Student Activities yesterday.
Hoffman was running for junior representative to the
Student Senate from the School of Veterinary Medicine. He
received 12 write-ins in yesterday’s election as compared to
the 10 votes collected by Vannis Redman, who will win if
Hoffman doesn’t qualify.
Hardesty was to investigate Hoffman’s record this
morning. Some of the requirements for a seat in the Senate
are: a student must have an overall grade point ratio of
1.00, Vie must have attended^
A&M for at least the two pre
vious semesters, Vie must live
in the dormitory or area he
represents and Vie must Vie

Summer Recreation Plan
Ready For CS Residents
Weather Today
Thunder Storms
Scattered showers and thunder
storms are predicted for the
vicinity today. Maximum tempera
ture Thursday, 91. Minimum 72.
Mid-morning reading today was 86.
Plenty of recreation of all types
for young and old is in store for
College Station residents this sum
mer as the 1957 Summer Recrea
tion Program gets underway June
3.
Swimming, tennis, tumbling,
golf, baseball, pre-school, bowling,
reading and community picnics are
featured attractions of the pro
gram, according to the College Sta
tion Recreation Council. The coun
cil is sponsored jointly by the Col
lege Station Civic Association, Col
lege Station Community Chest, Ki-
Wanis Club, Lions Club and the
City of College Station.
This summers’ program is split
up into two six-week sessions in
stead of one eight-week session as
held in the past. The change was
made to enable more people to
participate in the program and al
low everyone to join in the recrea
tion of his choice.
Preference for enrollment in the
second session will be given those
who did not have a chance to get
in the program of their choice the
first term. The program is sched
uled so that it will not interfere
with camps and schools strongly
attended by College Station young
people.
Activities and sports are ar
ranged on an age level, and in most
sports, classes will be taught on
levels from beginners through ad
vanced. There will also be a com
petitive swimming team which all
who are interested in competition
and are good swimmers may try
out for.
Fees of a small amount will be
charged for the courses, but the
sponsors pay for approximately
half the expense in all activities.
