Of, THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH PAGE 2 Thursday, November 12, 1959 x by Jim Earle WhaVs Cooking r/10V‘: Worth Mentioning By Johnny Johnson If you think there are some dedicated Aggies on the campus, then you should meet some of their mothers. Aggie- land ’60 Editor A1 McCree and I had the pleasure of visiting with the Houston A&M Mothers Club last week and we were both amazed at the Spirit and dedication to A&M these mothers show. The Houston group sends one boy to Texas A&M on •scholarship each year in addition to sponsoring a dance at Christmas for Houston Aggies and their dates and numerous other activities to benefit Texas A&M. To raise the money for these projects they raffle cakes at each meeting, hold bridge parties and currently are selling chances on an all-expense paid trip to Mexico for two people. These are only three examples of the ways this enterprising group has to raise money. The club currently has more than 200 members and is conducting a campaign to get more mothers, especially freshmen mothers, to join. Such spirit on the part of mothers of Aggies does a lot to help people throughout the state get an even better im pression of Texas A&M. With fine ladies like the Houston group and others throughout the state supporting the col lege, it makes a guy extra proud to be an Aggie. ★ ★ ★ •j Mothers aren’t the only ones who have the Spirit. While in Houston, McCree and I were treated to lunch by the father of an Aggie senior, Carl Serres. Serres’ dad is a sergeant on Houston Police Department force and after lunch took Mc Cree and I on a complete tour of the Houston Police Depart ment facilities. From the reception we got, you’d think he had converted the entire police force into Aggie boosters. £ ★ ★ ★ The Houston A&M Former Students Club conducts a notable and worthy project. A member of the club maintains a list of Aggies, both present and former students, who are . /available to give blood for Ags or members of their families. The service is conducted at no charge to the user and the club handles all arrangements for repaying blood used from a hospital’s blood bank. Any Ags from the Houston area might be interested in having their parents, friends or themselves get on the .^club’s list of possible blood donors. Right now the club is furnishing blood to a former stu dent who is seriously ill with cancer in a Houston hospital. ★ ★ ★ Dean of Students Jame P. Hannigan said yesterday that ■ :»],« student employment checks were not received on sched- : .ule Tuesday, no penalty will be charged students who present the checks as late payment for rent on college-owned apart ments. If flowers were appropriate, this week’s bouquets would go to the 2nd Wing and 2nd Brigade for their two socials « during the past week. ■ Both of the affairs, a dinner Saturday night by the 2nd Wing and a coffee Tuesday night by the 2nd Brigade, were designed to give unit commanders and other officers a chance to become better acquainted with unit faculty scholastic ad visers and varous administrative personnel of the college. From all reports, both affairs were well-received by both students and faculty. - * -Mil ■•i. ‘St'i Register For Free TYPEWRITER NOTHING TO BUY Just Sign Your Name OTIS MCDONALD’S Bryan Business Machines Social Whir!
