Otto P. Weyland, ’23, and Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, ’31, invit ing them to inaugurational cere monies for President Earl Rudder March 26. Brantley Laycock, Corps Staff junior, said the telegrams were part of the plans to invite the four ranking A&M general offi cers to the ceremonies. Lt. Gen. Andrew D. Bruce, ’16, and Lt. Gen. Robert W. Col- glazier, ’25, have already accepted invitations to be present for cere monies honoring President Rud der, the second A&M graduate to become president and first to be a major general and president Adenauer To Make Plea to Ike Today WASHINGTON MP> — Konrad Adenauer takes to President Eisen hower personally today his plea against concessions on Berlin at the forthcoming summit confer ence. The visiting West German chan cellor had an extended date at the White House, lasting from mid morning through lunch, then ap pointments with Secretary of State Christian A. Herter and other State Department officials in the afternoon. Adenauer was reported ready to advise Eisenhower to avoid the klNkCOTTM” (Continued from Page 1) court will be selected from more than 150 young ladies representing colleges and universities, clubs and other organizations. The selec tions will be made by authorities from fashion and art fields. The Pageant will be held in Guion Hall at 7:30 p.m. and fol- towwed by* the Ball in Sbisa Hall. Allan Marburger of Paige, sen ior agronomy major and Pageant publicity chairman, said proceeds from the event will be used to send A&M agronomy juniors and sen iors on an agricultural study tour of the state. Faculty sponsors are Dr. H. E. Hampton and Dr. T. E. McAfee of the Department of Agronomy. Cotton and eight members of her man of the Pageant, said Queen Berlin issue at the summit and place priority instead on progress toward disarmament. Both Germany-Berlin and dis armament are on the agenda for Eisenhower’s mid-May summit talks in Paris with Soviet Premier Nikita , Khrushchev and the British and French chiefs. Adenauer was > known to feel that no good can come from a tem porary deal on West Berlin, the Red-encircled city from which Khrushchev wants all Allied troops withdrawn. Eisenhower and Herter in turn were reported prepared to profnise not to sell out the West Berliners. But U.S. officials said they also intended to retain freedom to offer some concessions if Khrushchev gives guarantees improving the Allies’ shaky hold on the city. Adenauer, on a two-week tour of the United States, publicly voiced his suspicions of Moscow’s aims Monday while receiving an honor ary doctor’s degree at Princeton University. The 84-year-old German leader declared Soviet claims of good in tentions cannot be believed as long as Moscow opposes self-determin ation for East Germany and East ern Europe. “Fifteen years after the war the same people who demand most loudly the right of self-determina tion for every nation in Africa and Asia refuse it to the German people,” he said.

Name Given Geriatrics Center BULLETIN The name of the Bryan geria tric center was changed to “Crestview” at a special meeting of the Bryan Chamber of Com merce Geriatrics Center Project Committee this morning. The name Pleasant Acres was changed because a conflict with a youth recreation area in College Station. The rest of the name, “a com munity for senior citizens” will be incorporated in the name after the change. “Pleasant Acres, a Community for Senior Citizens” was the name selected yesterday by the Geri atrics Center Project Committee for a proposed home for the aged to be located in the Bryan-College Station area under the auspices of the Methodist Church of the Texas Conference. A special selection committee of the Bryan Chamber of Commerce looked over a list of 100 names submitted over the weekend from several sources before selecting the final name, said Lewis New man, member of the steering com mittee for the project. Most Frequent Suggestion The name “Pleasant Acres” was suggested by several people, ac cording to Newman. He said it was the most frequent entry. The “Community for Senior Citizens’" sub-title came from an other source, Newman said. “The name ‘Pleasant Acres’ is the best name we could find for the home,” said Newman. “It is in clusive enough for the center to grow into. ‘On Sizable Tract . . .’ “The center will be located on a sizable tract of land, and if at a later date it were expanded to include other geriatric services, the name would still fit,” he said. Col. D. R. Alfonte, chairman for the selection of the site, announced 120-day options have been picked up on both 25-acre tracts which ASCE Wins Award For Select Display The student branch of the American Society of Civil Engi neers won the top award in engi neering for their exhibit at the annual open house held in connec tion with the High School Career Day March 5. The award, a trophy kept for one year by the winner, was estab lished several years ago by the Student Engineers’ Council to recognize the department in the School of Engineering that has the best open house exhibit, J. G. Mc Guire, assistant to the Dean of Engineering, says. Exhibits were judged on the basis of appearance, organization, the amount of originality and initiative, how well displayed and how well manned by students. The technical societies in the depart ments are generally responsible for the exhibits on Open House Day, McGuire says. The exhibit of aeronautical engineering, architecture and nuc lear engineering were outstanding. The trophy will be presented to the winners later in the semester by Dean of Engineering J. Fred Benson. Men who face wind and weather choose the protection of... im AFTER SHAVE LOTION gf W\ Skin protection, that is.

The sites are located at the northeast corner of 29th Street and Villa Maria Road, Bryan, and the corner of 29th Street and Briarcrest Road, according to Newman. “Pleasant Acres” is to be the initial geriatrics center for the Texas Conference of the Methodist Church. The Texas Conference comprises 'a triangle with Tex arkana, Galveston and Orange as points. As yet, no Methodist old- age home exists in this area, said Newman. Purpose Defined . . . Henry Clay, president of the First State Bank and Trust Co., Bryan, and chairman of the Geri atrics Center Project Committee, defined the purpose of the com mittee as being “to earn the oppor tunity i of building a $1 million geriatrics center, through the ef forts of the entire community.” ELECTIONS (Continued from Page 1) for Tuesday, March 3.

New industries, new plants, new additions to old plants-each day reveals dramatic changes on the industrial horizon. And to help provide the new and greater communica tions systems for this building boom is our daily work at General Telephone. You’ll find a good example of what we mean in Muske gon, Michigan. Here Brunswick-Balke-Collender has just completed huge new facilities to keep up with the demand for its world-famous automatic pinsetters. In the same area, foundries, oil refineries and three new chemical plants are going round the clock. And as Muskegon grows and prospers, its communica* tions requirements become more complex and com pelling. That’s why Gen Tel, in the past three years, has spent more than $36 million in its Michigan operating areas alone - improving, increasing, expand® ing its telephone services. This is a typical example of how we strive-not only to meet today’s communication needs, but to answetf the needs of tomorrow, too. GENERAL ^ TELEPHONE & ELECTRONICS^^
