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. - *
