As many families like ly will be aided against this year, college officials said. The voluntary program now is current form for about five years, but the history of Aggies helping needy fellow students and persons off of the campus is a long one.

This is just one of the many “off- the-record” conversations which are held between sessions of SCON A. 1951 luncs nds S. 195^ alter d. lextei nmpi: Was illup lincia last ( Speeches Prompt Delegate Interest Unf arag( tier By DAN LOUIS JR. Battalion News Editor In these days of freezing wea ther the hottest spot on campus is the Memorial Student Center. It’s not that the heating system there is any better than anywhere else, there’s just a lot of talk go ing on, and this talk combined with the thinking behind it has •generated a noticeable degree of red hot interest in the eighth an nual Student Conference On Na tional Affairs. The second floor of the MSC was relatively quiet until the first plenary session brokeup in the ball room at about 3:30 p.m. Wednes day. Then it began to happen. Even before most of the delegates had gotten to their feet to go to roundtable conferences, the dis cussions were underway. DELEGATES, observers, advis ors and everyone else in the ball room had beep prompted to agree or disagree with something Gen. Frederic H. Smith Jr., former vice chief of staff USAF, had said in his talks on the “Role of the Mili tary in World Peace.” All anyone had to do to find someone to talk it over with was look to his left or right. Talks Wednesday night by Ma son Willrich, armament agency ad visor, and the one this afternoon by Vice President Johnson have furnished more fuel for the flame of thought. However, as Hank Dalton, sen ior at the U.S. Naval Academy, stated, “Any exchange of ideas be tween students from different parts of the country is of immeas urable value.” “THIS LOOKS like it will be an enlightening conference. The speakers so far have been very in teresting,” Dalton added. Karen Swanson, sophomore so ciology major from Stephens Col lege, said, “The topics have been most interesting.” “The conference is very well or ganized,” said Anne Shaw, senior French major from Louisiana State University. “I think the speakers are very good and the roundtables are most interesting,” Anne said. “It’s been real nice because everyone has been so hospitable,” she said, “It has been well worth the trip so far.” NSF Science Institute Set This Summer e.\; Nun Wil] nd d< Stuc itting A special summer institute oi Oceanography and Meteorology will be held for high school teach ers here June 3-28. Sponsored under a $24,000 Na tional Science Foundation grant the four-week institute will be hell in Galveston at the A&M Marine Laboratory at Fort Crockett. Dr. Robert E.
