White Big Loss
C. G. (Spike) White, who resigned from his position
with the Memorial Student Center yesterday, will be missed
by everyone connected with A&M.
White, a member of the Class of '35, resigned Wednes
day to become associated with the American General Life
Insurance Co. of Bryan.
Noted for his bright and colorful Town Hall productions,
it was White who brought many of the current “names” in
the entertainment world to this campus. Among these en
tertainers were Lawrence Welk, The Kingston Trio, Dorothy
Collins, Edye Gorme, Oscar Levant, Joni James, Bob Hope,
The Four Lads, The Four Freshmen, Doris Day and many
others.
The friendly White first became a member of the col
lege staff in 1939, serving as director of intramural athletics
until 1942. He returned to this position in 1945 after three
years’ service in the U. S. Navy.
He moved to the Department of Student Activities in
1947 and became a member of the Memorial Student Center
staff when the services of the Department of Student Activi
ties and the MSC student program were consolidated in late
August of this year.
Although White is most known for the contributions he.
made to the Town Hall productions, few know of his promo
tion of the college through planning the production of A&M
songs on records, the film “We Are The Aggies,” inaugura
tion of the Twelfth Man Bowl, supervision of the layout and
construction of the golf course and improvement of many
entertainment and sports facilities.
A strong advocator of a strong and healthy youth, White
will continue to operate Kanakuk Kamp for Boys and Kana-
komo Kamp for Girls, both near Branson, Mo., in the sum
mer.
White held a high place in the hearts of all Aggies and
he will be missed dearly.

IGNORE PROF
Anyone who has flunked out will tell you
that ignoring your instructor in class is a
very effective means of flunkin’ out. Ig
noring your instructor requires a great deal
of stamina since many of them yell too loud
and wave their arms. Plan ahead so that
you may utilize your class period in spite
of a noisy instructor. Any news stand will
offer you material that is inspiring. Most
comic books would lend themselves to class
reading. At mid-semester, you will be able
to devote all of your time to such literature,
if your parents will let you back in the
house.

VALUELESS PROPERTY
PHOENIX, Ariz. (TP) — Is gar
bage property? Yes, says Arizonc
Atty. Gen. Robert Morrison.
Garbage companies claimed they
should not be under jurisdiction
of the state’s Corporation Commis
sion because they were not com
mon carriers of property.
But Morrison said in a formal
opinion that the word “property”
is broad enough to include garbage
and refuse — and, therefore, the
companies are considered subject
to commission regulation.
Students majoring in English
met Tuesday night for the purpose
of organizing an English Club.
