Built in 1917 and put into use
in 1919, Guion Hall was originally
used only for meetings, speeches
and plays. Not until 1941 was it
converted into a theater for the
students.
Previous to World War II, pic
tures were shown on Wednesday
and Saturday nights in the old
Assembly Hall. This was located
on the site now occupied by the
All-Faiths Chapel. In 1941 all of
the equipment and facilities were
moved to Guion and started opera
tion daily.
Services Include Grove
Remodeling has been done re
cently which included the repair
ing and sand-blasting of the out
side of the building and the re
modeling and complete addition
of a new men’s rest room.
Wide screen viewing, stereo
phonic sound and the use of new
projectors make inside the show
very pleasant and modern. Also
included for the students’ conven
ience are soft drinks, popcorn and
confections which are sold at the
concession stand.
Any profit from the operation
of the theater will go into new
equipment, improving the present
facilities and back to the student
in the form of entertainment.
Many important speeches and
presentations have 'taken place in
Guion Hall. One of the many,
which may be worthy of mention,
was the presentation of an Hon
orary Doctor of Law degree to
General Eisenhower. This was in
April, 1946, on the Saturday be
fore Easter Sunday.

College Hospital
Among The Finest
Clothing, Laundry
Pose No Problem
Entering freshmen will he in
terested to know that the clothing
and laundry problem at A&M is
a relatively simple one.
The student in the Corps of Ca-
dents will have most of his cloth
ing issued to him.
During Fish week, the entering
freshman must go to the college
laundry, where he will be assigned
a laundry mark and told when and
where he will deposit his soiled
laundry.
After that, civilians and Corps
units have regular laundry serv
ice, with the laundry being placed
at a convenient pickup point. The
cleaned laundry is brought back
to that point again to be reclaimed
by the student.
The A&M College Hospital,
which provides all of the health
services for the students, is one
of the finest and best equipped
college hospitals in the Southwest.
Facilities available include phy
sical therapy, state approved lab
oratory and a X-ray department.
These facilities are only a part
of the various services that are
provided for the student here in
college who pays his health fee at
time of registration.
Students desiring immunization,
desensitization injections, or cer
tain other special treatments, will
not be charged for the service, but
will be required to supply the med
ication needed.
The medical staff, under the di
rection of Dr. C. R. Lyons, in
cludes specialists in the fields of
medicine; surgery; ear, nose and
throat and mental hygiene.
The hospital also has a staff of
registered nurses on duty at all
times while the college is in ses
sion.

Serving Thousands Is Easy
At A&M’s Large; Dining Halls
Can you imagine seating 4,000;
persons in a single building and
feeding them a family-style din
ner three times a day, especially
when those men must be finished
with their meal and back in class
in less than an hour?
This job is old hat to the staff
of Sbisa Dining Hall at A&M. At
the same time, across the campus,
another staff is preparing to ac
commodate up to 3,000 more hun
gry Aggies. Duncan Dining Hall
is newer, and its modern facilities
are among the best.
Sbisa Hall, built in 1912, also
serves as the place where many
of the important social events, in
cluding all the class dances, the
Military Ball and the Combat Ball.
About 200 full-time employees '
and about 200 student waiters
prepare and serve the meals. Even
with this cost of labor, food and
equipment, it is the cheapest cost
for board of any college in the
United States today.
A student is charged only $1.50
per day for three meals. This is
usually paid at registration time
for each semester. The money
buys the food, pays the labor, and
covers other expenses of the din
ing halls.
Aside from the student board
fee, the dining halls receive no
federal or state aid, and are self-
supporting.
