Three Student Car Washing Sites Now Open Work recently completed on three campus car wash areas which are now open to usage by all A&M students. The car wash areas informally opened for business following in stallation of the necessary plumb ing and other facilities by Build ing and Utilities personnel. The car wash sites, equipped with hy drants and a hose, were chosen on the basis of accesibility to wa ter and drainage lines. They are located at the corn er of the parking lot adjacent to Law Hall, at a site immediately behind the old fire hall across from the Exchange Store and at the northwest corner of the parking lot to the rear of G. Rollie White Coliseum. Construction of the car wash installations came in response to requests by student leaders. Signs reading “Student Car Wash Area” identify the three lo cations.

Credit Unions Threaten Banks Says American Banking Official Rural credit unions, especially if government-connected, pose a threat to commercial banks, an American Bankers Association of- fical said here Wednesday. Lawrence E. Kreider of New York, Rural Credit Unions Com- LAUNDROMART NO. 1 1501 Sulphur Springs Road Newly Remodeled New & Improved Equipment Most Convenient Laundry In College Station mittee secretary for the associa tion, said rapid growth of credit unions in general and goals of certain groups to expand the un ions are evidence of the threat. Kreider was a speaker at Texas A&M College’s 11th annual Farm and Ranch Credit School for Com mercial Bankers which ended Wed nesday. About 150 bankers attend ed. He said a small group of senior officials in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Credit Union National Association and the Na tional Rural Electric Co-operative Association have “ambitious goals” for rural credit union expansion. ‘Early this year the USD A, in co-operation with CUNA, issued three releases stating their intent to establish a national network of community credit unions in most, if not all, of the nation’s rural areas,” he said. The romantic comedy, written by Christopher Fry, is set in, 15th century England. The play re volves around Thomas,, a disillus ioned young man who has recently returned from fighting in the 100 years war,' and Jennet, a young woman accused of witchcraft. Written in verse, the play mixes laughter with the more serious business of witch hunting in a love versus hate theme. Directed by Vic Weining, as sisted in stage movement by Carita Lyles, the play features a cast of 11. The cast includes James Moore as Thomas, Jerry Fletcher as Ric hard, Sharon Prisk as Alizon, Ron Hallenburger playing Nicholas, Ca rita Lyles as Maragret, Richard Metz acting in the role of Hum phrey, George Lovett as Tyson, Joanne Smerdon playing Jennet, Bill Thornton as Tappercom, Nick Lunday as the chaplain and Kipp Blair playing Skipps. Stage manager for the produc tion is Dan Malcolm. Sets are done by David Woodcock and Charles Hearn, lighting by Corky Couvil- lon, sound by Marvin Bradshaw and costumes by Molly Woodcock. Admission is 75 cents. Tickets will be sold at the door. Revised Voting Laws Asked AUSTIN (TP) — An election law study committee recommended Tuesday revision of many aspects of the current law. One proposal could mean that minor political parties, such as the Constitution and Prohibitionist party would not be listed on the general election ballot unless the party polled at least 5 per cent of the vote in the preceding gen eral election. Another proposal would require candidates in special elections for the Texas House of Representa tives and Senate to gain a majori ty of the votes-instead of the present plurality. Texas Republicans sent two members to the last legislature by plurality votes in Galveston and Amarillo. Both Republicans were beaten in this year’s general election. Ford Offers Engine For ME Lab Work Mechanical engineering students will have a 1962 compact car en gine to use in laboratory tests this academic year, Dr. C. M. Simmang, head of the Department of Me chanical Engineering, has an nounced. The Ford Motor Co. has donated a 1962 Falcon engine for student tests. Another proposal would end the Texas system of “scratching out” the candidate the voter does not like and allow an “x” to be placed in a box next to the favor ed candidate. Mary Kate Wall, a research as sistant for the Texas Legislative Council, explained the changes to newsmen Tuesday. She said that public hearings will be held Dec. 6-7. The committee is composed of 10 legislators, five appointees of Gov. Price Daniel, five county clerks and five county chairmen of political parties. After the hearing it will draft final recommendations for the 1963 legislature. if you have trouble saying it..
