HE SAID THAT many of the losses were pi’obably from absent mindedness as much as from out right theft. Houze did not have exact figures handy Monday, but said that the number of items missing from the libraries had become increasingly large. “This thing has shot up tremend ously within the past year,” he said, “But I couldn’t tell you why. I don’t know the reasons why things should begin disappearing more often now.” • The director continued: “THIS IS ONE of the few ma jor academic libraries that does not inspect each person as he goes out the door. '“Actually they used to have such checks here 15 years ago, but for some reason they were discontinu ed. “We want the students to under stand that this is a guarantee that the things they ask for will be there when they want them.” Houze said that the four branch libraries would not start the checks since they were small enough to control their losses. He said that since the Engineers Li braries had open stacks the checks would have to be started there. Crowded Given As Rooms Reason Dorms To Be Opened At Annex This is one of two dorms which the college built in 1956, and some rooms have never plans to open netft fall to civilian students at been occupied. The college plans to grant a the college annex at old Bryan Air Force rebate to students living in them since stu- Base. Each dorm will house 142 students, dents must travel approximately 14 miles sleeping two to a room. These dorms were to the campus. FILING ENDS WEDNESDAY Student Registration Slow For Government Elections Filing for student government positions is definitely lagging this year, Wayne Smith, election com mission advisor, said Monday. Students interested in becoming members of the student govern ment or the civilian yell leader for the 1963-64 school year have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to register. Candidates may register in the Imaginary Invalid Begins In Guion The Aggie Players opened their third production of the year Mon day night with Moliere’s “The Imaginary Invalid.” The play is scheduled to run through Saturday beginning at 8 p.m. nightly in Guion Hall. Ad mission is 75 cents. MOLIERE, WHOSE real name was Jean Baptiste Coquelin, was an outstanding French actor and Time To Smile Linda Connell dances with her escort, David C. Ander son, following her selection as junior Sweetheart at the Junior Ball Saturday night ih Sbisa Hall. Miss Connell is from Corpus Christi. playwright of the 17th century. Through comedy, he criticized the French society of his time. In “The Imaginary Invalid,” Moliere aimed his chief satire at those who delighted in illness, in treatment and attention from ev- ei’ybody. THE PLAY IS CENTERED around Argan, played by Bob Hipp, who does an outstanding - job por traying the typical hypochondriac. His oldest daughter, Angelica, played by Lynn Imle, is involved in an absurd romance with Cleante, played by James Moore. Argan objects to this romance and plans for Angelica to be wed to the son of Diaforus, his per- sonnel physician, to enable him to get free treatment. If a favorite of the crowd could be singled out, it would have to ,be the performance by Kipp Blair as Dr. Diaforus’s son. His was a bit part when compared to Ar- gan’s, but he never opened his mouth without getting a laugh. MOLIERE INSERTS a sub-plot into the play, having Argan’s sec ond wife scheme with a crooked lawyer to get his money. Char lene Ragsdale plays the pai't of Beline. Toinette, Argan’s maid, played by Sharon Prisk, throughout the play makes fun of Argan, but it is her planning which keeps Angelica from having to marry Dr. Diafo rus’s son, and Beline from getting all of Argan’s money. student programs office in the Me- positions are open to either juniors morial Student Center. SMITH SAID THAT registra tion has been disappointing, “There have only been about eight stu dents register so far. Some offices do not have a single candidate yet,” commented Smith, “and unless a more definite interest is shown, the elections can not possibly be a success.” The number of candidates which had registered Tuesday morning to hold office in the student body positions was one for president, two for vice president, one for re cording secretary and none for parliamentarian. A student must have a 1.5 grade point ratio to be eligible for any of the positions. Only seniors are eligible for president and parliamentarian while juniors may sign for vice- president and sophomores for re cording secretary. ONLY ONE CANDIDATE has shown interest in any of the Stu dent Senate chairmanships.

By RONNIE FANN Battalion News Editor Overcrowded dorm conditions each fall semester are forcing - the colleg-e to explore the possibility of opening - two dorms at the college annex—the old Bryan Air Force Base. Bennie A. Zinn, director of the department of Student Affairs, has sent questionnaires to all dorm counselors ask ing the names of students who would be interested in living in the dorms at the deactiviated air base. Interested students should return the forms to Zinn by Friday. Since the annex is located 14 miles from campus, stu dents will be charged $12 per month instead of the regular $20 for rooms in campus dorms. THE BUILDINGS BEING* considered were constructed in 1956 and have not been used since the base was closed in 1958. Some rooms have never been occupied. Both dorms are centrally heated and have a forced air cooling system. They are three stories high and are constructed of red brick, resembling Henderson Hall. There are 71 rooms in each dorm measuring 17 by 12 feet. A total of 284 students could be accommo dated with two men living in each room. Each room is equipped with three floor-to-ceiling metal lock ers, three windows, two fluorescent lights and probably two hospital beds. A base dining hall will be used, ,and arrangements will be made for students to eat one or two meals on the main campus if they desire. The annex is equipped with two swimming pools but both are inactive at present. Each dor m has an adjoining parking - lot, and two former en listed men’s and officer’s clubs may be refurnished for recreation facilities, Zinn said. ACCORDING TO ZINN,. the main problem will be getting - the rooms furnished and repainted by next fall if the annex is to be opened. Although the rooms were only occupied for a short while, moisture has caused some floors to buckle, and the paint to peal. The base is now being used by the Engineering - Experiment Sta tion to conduct schools such as the Firemen’s Training School and the Rural Electrification- School. THE QUESTIONNAIRES do not obligate the students to live at the base, he said. They are only a poll to see how many would be inter ested since many rooms in the campus will have three occupants next fall. A&M To Host High Official From Pakistan Mohammad Ahmad, consulate general of Pakistan at San Francis co, will visit A&M Wednesday. The official will arrive at 11:02 a.m. at Easterwood Airport and will be greeted by Dr. Jack Gray, co-ordinator of foreign programs, and Robert Melcher, foreign stu dent advisor.

The balance of his schedule is the following: Lunch with staff and faculty in the Memorial Student Center; 1:30 p.m., visit with Chancellor M. T.
