Battalion Managing Editor
For the more than 1,500 Aggie
wives on and around the A&M
campus, there often comes a prob
lem that usually squelches any
plans for a night out.
“What to do with the baby?”
is the problem.
But Mrs. Judy Morrison has
come up with a unique and effec
tive answer to the baby sitting
problem. It’s a “baby sitting co
op.”
The co-op, she explained, oper
ates on a point system. Each
member starts with 20 points for
one child and five points for each
additional child.
Points may be exchanged for
babysitting services at the rate of
two points per hour for one child,
and one extra point for each addi
tional child. Each meal the child
must be fed is worth one point;
and one point is assessed for week
end and holiday sittings. If the
sitter must furnish her own trans
portation, one more point is
charged.
Any mother can regain her sup-

Aggie Hour’ To Be
Aired Over KORA
The radio and television class of
the Department of Journalism will
take over KORA tonight for the
first in a series of weekly radio
shows called the “Aggie Hour.”
For the rest of this semester
the show will be broadcast Thurs
day nights from 10 to 11. It will be
a variety news and music show
which will be completely written,
produced and broadcast by three-
man teams from the journalism
class. Four teams will be made
up from the class.
Journalism Department Head
Delbert McGuire said, “I think the
show will be an educational oppor
tunity for the students which they
could not get in the department
itself.”
He said it was a chance for ex
perience in the field which a stu
dent would not otherwise get.
Bob Wade, of the KORA staff,
said he hoped the show could be
continued in the fall, perhaps more
regularly than once a week, if the
show proved a success.

“This service is for all student
wives,” she said. “You don’t have
to live in college apartments, such
as College View or Hensel, to take
advantage of membership.”
The actual operation of the co

“When a member needs to find
a baby sitter,” Mrs. Morrison said,
“she calls the current secretary
for the names and phone numbers
of members who are most in debt
to the co-op.”

For Next Year
Dr. John C. Menill of Louisi
ana’s Northwestern Jjtate College
will join the A&M Department of
Journalism on Sept. 1 as an as
sociate professor.
Delbert McGuire, head of the
department here, said the teach
er’s experience in writing, editing
and public relations will be a valu
able asset to the college.
Merrill, 38, a native of Missis
sippi, received his BA degree in
history and English in 1949 at
Mississippi Delta State College,
his MA degree in journalism in
1950 at Louisiana State Univer
sity, and his doctorate in mas 0

The professor is the author of

is used in international communi

His other experience includes

sit at the time she needs a sitter,”
she continued. “The person re
questing a sitter then calls the
secretary back, and informs her
who will be sitting and at what
time.”
Mrs. Morrison explained that
this was so no person would be
called for sitting duties after she
was scheduled for a certain time.
She added that anyone in debt to
the system was expected to sit
when available unless there was a
prior committment or she cannot
leave her own children.
Mrs. Morrison emphasized that
the co-op was not designed to be
a baby sitting solution for working
parents.
She said that one advantage of
belonging to the co-op was that
regular “exchange sitters” may
want to attend social events at the
same time.
The secretary for the organiza
tion is to be changed each month,
so one member will not be bur
dened with all the record keeping.
Mrs. Morrison said that there
is still room in the co-op for more
members. She can be contacted
at VI 6-7507 after 5 p.m.

Sneak Preview
Set Saturday
For New Pool
A “sneak preview” of the new
outdoor. Olvmpic-type swimming
oool is scheduled for Saturday and
Sunday afternoons. The pool will
he open to Aggies, staff members
^nd guests from 1 to 5:30 p.m.
this Saturday and Sunday. De
tails of regular operation will be
announced later.
Filial tests on the pool, whose
auxiliary facilities are not yet com
pleted, were conducted satisfac
torily on Tuesday.
Formal opening of the pool will
be held at a later date, after land
scaping and other details of the
project are completed.
The contractor is R. B. Butler
of Bryan. The contract price was
announced earlier as approximate
ly $197,000. The project was in
augurated after a major contribu
tion was made by the Former Stu
dents Association.
Dean of Students James P. Han-
nigan, in announcing plans for the
“sneak preview,” said that some
dressing areas remain incomplete.
For this reason, ladies should not
plan to use dressing room facili
ties at the pool this weekend and
men will have only the dressing
room facilities of the indoor pool.
Hannigan also said those using
the pool can help greatly by re
fraining from walking on the yet
unsodded dirt areas around the
concrete apron.
