The keeper of the loan fund goes
by many names during the course
of the school year.
At Easter she becomes the
“Bunny with the Money”, at
Christmas she is known alternate
ly as “Mrs. Scrooge” and “Mrs.
Santa” (depending on whether she
is collecting or lending), at Hal
loween she becomes the “Great
Pumpkin”, and at other times she
is referred to as “Dear Old Moth
er” or “Mrs. Simon Legree”.
Call her what you will, the Ag
gies’ favorite “loan shark” will
loan you up to twenty dollars if
you present your fee slip and ID
card to her.
Mrs. Catherine Whitten man
aged to turn the $14,600 in her
loan fund into $98,000 during the
last fiscal year.
“This is not as difficult as it
may sound,” she said. “All I did
was loan our money out during
the year, as usual. As it turned
out, each dollar in the fund was
loaned an average of seven times.”
All Loaned Out
The fund was completely loaned
several times last year, she said.
“Especially just before Corps
trips.”
“Our loans are supposed to
serve strictly for emergency
needs, although our definition of
‘emergency’ runs pretty broad,
sometimes,” she said.

She went on to tell about one
‘emergency’, an Aggie who came
by and wanted to borrow $1.25.
“He said he had to get a hair
cut. He didn’t want money for
anything else, though he didn’t
have a penny in his pockets.”
She has heard as many differ
ent reasons for loans as she has
made loans, she said.
“I don’t ask why the student
wants the money, because it is not
a requirement for .the loan, but
students usually tell why they
need it just in the course of con
versation.”
She has financed everything
from corsages and dates to grocer
ies and auto repairs.
Over 6,700 Loans
In the course of last year, over
6,700 loans were made to Aggies
in need. Average loan was $14.69.
“Our average contribution was
46c,” she said. “We don’t charge
any interest or fees for loans and
the only way the fund increases
is through contributions and do
nations.”
Mrs. Whitten and her fund hold
dear places in many Aggies’
hearts as the following statement
by one graduate student indicates:
“If I ever give any money to this
place, it’ll be right here,” indicat
ing the loan office.
The “Loan Ranger’ has a won
derful sense of humor and proudly
displays a small “caricature” giv
en to her by Charles D. Johnson,
a junior engineering student from
San Antonio. She is depicted as a
shark with pen and checkbook in
hand—er, flipper— wearing a gold
crown crested with a dollar sign,
with bags and barrels of money
strewn roundabout.
Poetry Is Hobby
She is well known to her pa
trons for her way with verse, also.
Displayed in and around her of
fice are small signs with witti
cisms and poems, mostly original.
One reads:
“Some students drink at the
fountain of knowledge — others
just gargle.”
Another:
“How did the fool and his mon
ey get together in the first
place?”

ing operators to “Check in”. Each
operator who is listening to the
network checks in- by identifying
himself by call number and loca
tion of his station.
The netwoi’k control operator
then announces the destination of
that day’s messages and asks the
listening operators with stations
at those destinations to stand by.
He then, contacts the ham who
signed in for Dallas, say,. and
gives him the messages for that!
city. He does the same for each
city or area for which he has a
message and a listening operator.
Frequently, the network opera
tor has a message to be trans-j
mitted to a point for which nd
operator signed in. In such a case,
he asks the aid of those who have
contacted him by signing in and
are nearer the destination than
the control station. In this way,
a message may possibly be re
layed through 3, 4, or even 5 radio
operators before finally reaching
its: destination.
