I ] fr in co Hi pv Cc qu 18! ] Wi hoi VI' THE BATTALION PAGE 2 Thursday, January 21, 1960 College Station, Texas Worth Mentioning By Johnny Johnson® With the end of the semester in sight, now is a good time to remind the Men of the Aggieland of the tremendous oppor tunity they have to do a good turn for Texas A&M and them selves during the between semester holiday. High school seniors all across the state are beginning to make their decisions regarding what college or university they will attend for their higher education, but many are still open to suggestions on where to go to get their college degree. As was suggested earlier in The Battalion, if each of the students will make an honest attempt to recruit one member for the Class of ’64, then Texas A&M will have such a tremendous enrollment the"* r Texas Legislature will have tween the post office and Guion CADET SLOUCH by Jim Knrlr SMU PrOf BSSOT* Wins Political Fellowship to raise our appropriations. The added appropriations would give Texas A&M even more of a chance to become the greatest educational institution of its kind anywhere. Not only do we need to try and recruit men for the Class of ’64, but we should try hard to keep several members of the Class of ’63 who have indicated they plan to transfer at the end of this se mester. With Texas A&M rapidly em erging as a technical center in the South with the opening of the Data Processing Center and the planned Nuclear Science Cen ter, the future of Texas A&M is limited only by the enthusiasm shown by its students in keeping students in school and recruiting more. Changing colleges after once entering, is similar to the old adage about changing horses in the middle of the stream—neither can be done without getting wet In one way or another. If the Men of Aggieland care about the future of their school and themselves, they will at tempt to both keep the present students and also recruit future students. ★ ★ ★ It was discouraging to note the dismissal from the Corps of Cadets of four students. Some how these four failed to gain the true Spirit of Aggieland during their tenure at Texas A&M. ★ ★ ★ Approximately 45 to 50 park ing places for students and vis itors have been opened to the public around the Memorial Stu dent Center. Twenty of the places are on the east side of Che building be- Hall on Houston Street. Another 15 are available on Houston Street on the west side of the street and five are available on the east side of the street. Seven parking places have been added in the front of the build ing in the area formerly reserved for unloading. More than twenty places are open in the rear of the MSC in the area of the main visitor parking lot formerly used by MSC employees. Students are urged to use the parking spatces on Joe Routt Boulevard between the MSC and G. Rollie White Coliseum before using the new places. ★ ★ ★ Several girls from A&M Con solidated High School and Bry an’s Stephen F. Austin High School are joining older citizens of the two communities in rais ing funds for the New March of Dimes. The girls are to be con gratulated for taking part in civic affairs. ★ ★ ★ In response to several queries received after the story in Wed nesday’s Battalion regarding poll tax payment, a reminder to those students who will be 21 prior to the Nov. 8 general election. Those people who have their 21st birth day after the Jan. 29 deadline for paying poll taxes may still get their exemption certificates from the Brazos County Tax As sessor-Collector or the tax asses sor-collector in their home coun ty. All they have to do is pre sent proof of their birth date af ter they reach 21 and claim their exemption certificate. This will be the only time a voter can vote free until he reaches age 65. looks like your notebook is worth a good solid fC’!” WhaVs Cooking REMEMBER SHAFFERS Will Buy ALL YOLK BOOKS For CASH - SHAFFER’S BOOK STORE OPEN SATURDAY UNTIL 5:30 WE WILL BE OPEN BETWEEN SEMESTERS The following clubs and organ izations will meet tonight: 7:30 Odessa Hometown Club will meet in Room 207 of the Aca demic Building.

Boswell for a drive for special gifts and con tributions to the New March of Dimes campaign.

Personal Filing Again Urged bylRS Taxpayer self-help will again be urged by Internal Revenue Service during the income tax filing period from now to April 15, Clarence E. Carlson, admin istrative officer of Internal Rev enue Service at Bryan, said today. Self-help means the taxpayer completes as much of his 1959 return as possible before asking Internal Revenue for help. This saves the time of IRS people who, in turn, save the taxpayers’ money when uninterrupted from their routine duties of seeing that every taxpayer bears his fair share of the tax burden. The revenue representative re vealed many -tax problems can be solved by telephoning Internal Revenue or by studying the com prehensive instructions that ac company federal income tax forms for 1959. WASHINGTON GP)—A former Southern Methodist University government teacher is one of 15 winners of political science fel lowships working on Capitol Hill this session of Congress. The fellows perform miscellan eous tasks but are not on the con gressional payroll. They expect to spend part of their time at tending committee hearings. $4,500 Grant Sponsored by the American Political Science Assn., and fin anced by the Ford Foundation, the fellowships provide a $4,500 grant and an opportunity to see first hand and from the inside what makes the legislative wheels turn. The SMU assistant professor of political science here under the fellowship program is C. Dale Story. Originally from Stillwell, 3,000 Student Jobs Available Overseas According to Ramsey V. Har ris, European Director of the American Student Information Service, 3,000 summer jobs, all paying the standard wage of the country in which they are locat ed, are available to U. S. college students in Germany. France, England, Belgium, Holland, Lux embourg, Scandinavia, Austria and Spain. Openings include farm work, construction work, resort work, factory work, hospital work and a number of office and miscel laneous positions. ASIS, a non-profit organiza tion, also helps American stu dents arrange low cost travel to Europe and provides a mail service, fascinating inside information on Europe, and many other recreational and education al activities. Students intei’ested in a summer job in Europe may write directly to American Stu dent Information Service, Jahn- strasse 56-A, Frankfurt-Main, Germany. Okla., the 31-year-old Korean War veteran got his bachelor and doctor of philosophy degrees at Oklahoma. He taught at SMU in 1958-59. Former Michigander Another of the fellowship win ners is in the office of Rep. Frank Ikard of Wichita Falls. He is Daniel D. McCrary, 28, a former Michigander. McCrary has been employed as a financial writer. The fellowship provides that the winners work on the House side of the Capitol until April, the remainder of the time—until Congress adjourns or Aug. 15, which ever comes first-r-on the Senate side. Selected from Hundreds Selected from among hundreds of applicants from over the na tion, the winners must fall in one of the categories of profes sional men—journalists, govern- Wee Aggies We Aggies like to read about Wee Ag gies.

An official of the association said more and more of the legis lators are volunteering, as the operation of the six-year old pro gram becomes known. This is so, he said, because they get “top rate help for nothing.” More Selective Conversely, the fellows are be coming more selective in choos ing the lawmaker with whom they will work. McCrary, while doing research and other tasks for Ikard, is getting an opportunity to learn much that will help him as a fi nancial news reporter because of Ikard’s membership on the House Ways and Means Committee. Story, who resigned his SMU faculty position to come here, is assigned to the House Govern ment Operations subcommittee.
