It is Jan. 15, 1898. Everywhere on the campus, Aggies salute ev ery half hour. A&M is in mourn ing at the death of its beloved president, Lawrence Sullivan Ross. Ross, father of A&M’s “golden age,” died after serving as A&M president for only seven years, 1891-1898. While he had been governor, Ross had noticed the dying indi cations of A&M and had agreed to take its presidency. With the beginning of his ad ministration, Ross limited' the number of students to no more than the college could decently ac commodate. His widespread ad miration and respect soon prompt ed students to promise to quit haz ing freshmen. Ross held brilliant forms of en tertainments for students in the new presidential residence which had been constructed for him. It is the same house which is still occupied by presidents and their families. On Oct. 1, 1893, “The Battalion” proudly issued its first volume. This then small magazine ap peared twice a month during the school year. In the third year of Ross’ ad ministration, 1894, the first col- Young, Pennington Honored At Meet Melvin Young, ’62 agricultural education major from Lockhart, was elected president of the A&M collegiate chapter of the Future Farmers of America last week. Dale Pennington, ’61, of Buchan an Dam, was named outstanding senior in agricultural education for the fall semester at the meeting. Vice president for the upcoming semester will be Jay P. Grimes of Beaumont, secretary John Holveck of Midlothian, treasurer Bill Cepi- ca of Megargel, reporter Nolan Blaschke of Nordheim, sentinel Don Henang of Buffalo Gap, stu dent advisor Delton Weise of Nordheim, parliamentarian Melvin Hausenfluke of Coleman, second vice president Dan Griffith of Paint Creek and third vice presi dent Frank Jeckel of Cameron. Lawrence Sullivan Ross . . . father of ‘golden age’ le^ye natatorium was built. The natatorium, to be used “in the use of necessary baths for students,” was designed to avoid wasting money on luxury. Also during his administration, the first college yearbook, called the “Olio,” made its first appear ance. A story in the February issue of “The Battalion” in 1894, lists the additions to the school made during the early years of “the golden age.” Included was an electric-light plant “with a capacity of 750 lights, taking 50 volts to the light.” An ice plant was construct ed “with a capacity of two tons every 24 hours, to be used ex clusively for benefit of the col lege.” A new steam laundry with a “capacity of 600 bundles a week, allowing 16 pieces to the bundle” and manned hy student labor was constructed. . A significant outgrowth of the pride and good feeling existing at A&M during Ross’ administration was the founding of the Alpha Phi fraternity in 1896. This was the forerunner to A&M’s present As sociation of Former Students. The following year, 1897, A&M got its first football coach and finished its season with losses in two of three attempts. But just when the college seemed to he growing most in prestige and ability, its “golden age” founder became ill on a hunt ing trip on the Navasota River and died on Jan. 3, 1898.

THE BATTALION Tuesday, Jamnry 113, 19C2 College Station, Teras ■TSf.- Page ill Lawyers Ask For Dismissal Of Dormitory Suit At U of T AUSTIN 6P> — A group of Aus tin and Houston lawyers asked federal court yesterday to dismiss a suit aimed at full racial deseg regation of University of Texas dormitories. Atty. Gen. Will Wilson, who filed a similar motion last Satur day, presented the court a brief answering the original desegrega tion petition. In a statement Saturday, Wil son criticized Thornton Hardie of El Paso, chairman of the Univer sity Board of Regents, for hiring private attorneys to represent the university in the suit. He said his department was legally obligated to handle the case. The specially hired lawyers, Leon Jaworski, Houston; Edward Clark, Austin, and Franklin W. CHEMICAL (Continued from Page 1) research will center on chemistry and metabolism of fats and fatty acids. The funds are a part of grants amounting to $1,148,000 destined for Texas colleges and universi ties. Ten of the total number of grants are new and 23 are re newals. Daniel R. Bullard, senior trus tee of the Welch Foundation, said the organization has now approved more than $6.6 million “to foster and encourage fundamental chem ical research within the state of Texas.” Lester Settegast, general coun sel for the Mound Company, said the funds are an effective aid in promoting and maintaining the high quality of scientific research now being conducted by the foun dation’s grantees. Other trustees of the founda tion are W. T. Doherty, president of the Mound Company, and the late Jesse Andrews, Houston at torney who died less than a month ago. The Welch Foundation was es tablished in 1954 by the will of Robert Alonzo Welch of Houston, who died in 1952. Assets of the organization exceed $50 million, and it now ranks as the 20th larg est foundation in the United States, according to Dr. W. O. Milligan, research director for the foundation and a professor of chemistry at Rice University. Denius, Austin, asked the court to hear its motion at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 25. Their 10-point petition said the three Negro students who brought the suit “have not alleged and cannot allege as a fact that stu dent life in dormitories owned and operated by the Univei'sity of Texas is a part of the educational process of the students attending the University of Texas.” The attorney general and the private lawyers both alleged that the students have not exhausted all the administrative remedies open to them. They contended the students had not appealed formal ly to the president, chancellor and regents of the university. The suit was brought against university officials and regents by three Negro students, Leroy San ders, Sherryl Griffin and Maudie Ates. They are represented by Sam Houston Clinton. The private attorneys said depo sitions filed by the students “af firmatively show that there has been good faith compliance in de segregation with all deliberate speed at the University of Texas.” They said Sanders now lives in a dormitory open for use by both white and Negro students. Their petition alleges none of the stu dents applied for a room in any segregated dormitory. The regents answered Wilson Saturday, saying they hired the private attorneys because the suit probably would run longer than Wilson’s term as attorney general. Wilson is a candidate for gover- Why some college basketball players cheat! Basketball fixes, says Kentucky's Coach Rupp, are the fault of a few bad eggs. But, according to a former NCAA president, athletes “have learned to be dishonest... from the very men who recruited them.” In this week's Post, you'll read a hot debate between these two experts.
