Civilians: On Trial
New study desk were moved into the rooms of Eizzell
Hall yesterday to temporarily complete the work done on
civilian dormitories that began during the summer.
Every civilian dormitory on the campus has had some
major repair done in it. Civilian students should be thankful
for the fine work administered to the dormitories. New
furniture, repainting and plastering have made the rooms in
the civilian dormitories attractive and pleasing places in
which to live.
The man the civilians should thank for this fine work is
Howard W. Badgett, manager of physical plants. The Civilian
Student Council has already drafted a letter of thanks to
Badgett. Badgett and his staff well deserve this praise.
The work of Badgett and his staff was summed up re
cently in the words of Robert 0. Murray Jr. at a recent meet
ing of the Civilian Student Council. Murray, civilian adviser,
said “The dormitories now look better than they did when
they were brand new.” It was at this same meeting that
members of the council chose to draft a letter of thanks to
Badgett.
Civilian students have been warned to respect and take
care of the dormitories in hopes of keeping the dormitories
looking neat. Students have especially been asked not to
tape printed material on the walls.
In cases where the paint or property is damaged, charges
for the damage will be levied against the guilty students.
Civilian students should have enough respect for the
property provided them that such a warning as the one above
be not needed. The respect for this college-provided property
should be equal to the respect shown in the student’s home
and the kind of care given this college property will not
only be a reflection on the student’s character, but will also
be a reflection on the character of the student’s parents, his
home and his community.
According to Badgett, “There is still a lot of work to be
done.” Plans are being made by Badgett now to do more
repair work on Walton and Hart halls next summer and a
study is being made of how to improve the lighting in the
corridors of the dormitories.
Along with the repainting and plastering, Venetian blinds
are now in all civilian' dormitories and floors have been waxed
and polished and windows have been washed.
Civilian students can hold their heads high and be proud
of their “new-looking” dormitories. To be labeled men, they
should be thankful of the work done by Badgett and his staff
and they should try their hardest to keep the dormitories
in their present condition.
If, the civilian students live up to the good name they
have already established on the campus, their dormitories
will remain respectable indefinitely.

Jovial, Energetic Hardesty
Leads Student Organization
“Surface” hair tonics merely coat your
hair. When they dry off, your hair dries
out. But the exclusive Wildroot Cream-Oil
formula penetrates your hair. Keeps hair
groomed longer... makes hair feel stronger
than hair groomed an ordinary way.
There’s no other hair tonic formula like it.

WILDROOT
CREAM-OIL
HAIR TONIC
By JACK HARTSFIELD
Battalion Staff Writer
The recipient of one of the
first faculty appreciation awards
by former students in 1954 and
winner of two Battalion awards
for outstanding service to A&M
are modestly claimed by a jov
ial, hard-working and pleasant
gentleman known to most of the
students as “Pete.”
W. D. (Pete) Hardesty, stu
dent organizations adviser cho
sen this year to head one of the
most important functions of cam
pus life at A&M, returned here
as a student in 1945, after serving
three years in the Navy. He
first enrolled prior to the war.
While a student, he was president
of the Veteran’s Club. Graduat
ing in 1948 with a B.S. in busi
ness administration, he returned
in 1949 with his wife, Billy, and
received his master of science de
gree in 1950. At the present
time, Hardesty is working on his
doctorate.
In 1952, Hardesty became busi
ness manager for the Depart
ment of Student Activities,
After serving in this capacity
for eight years, he was promoted
to his present post.
Many students, both past and
present, owe more to Hardesty
than could ever be repaid. One
event which he has probably
never mentioned, except to his
closest friends, was a trip to
Houston to speak to the Houston
A&M Mothers’ Club. One of the
parents came up and asked Har
desty if he would talk to her son
who seemed to be having a rough
go of it at Aggieland. Hardesty
did even more than that—prac
tically adopting the boy until he
got his feet on firm ground.
Regardless of the task facing
Pete, students can remember from
many occasions seeing him break
out in a broad smile with his
favorite pipe clasped firmly be
tween his teeth and saying, “No
sweat, we can’t go wrong with
this.”
