Union here, has announced.
’63-64 MSC Room Requests
Will Be Accepted In May
Requests for rooms in the
Memorial Student Center during
1963-64 weekends will be accept
ed from students and former stu
dents during May, according to
Mrs. Mozelle Holland, guest rooms
manager of the MSC.
Most requests will be for foot
ball weekends and other “major
event” weekends, Mrs. Holland
said.
Only one room for each family
can be reserved for each weekend,
she said. Reservations will not
ie transferable.
Following the May 31 deadline,
a drawing will be held to deter
mine who will receive accomoda
tions. After the drawing, notices
will be mailed to each person sub

reservations indicating whether or
not their names were drawn.
Requests not drawn will be plac
ed on a waiting list and persons on
this list will be notified at least
two weeks before a weekend if a
room becomes available for them,
Mrs. Holland said.
A deposit will be required of
those persons receiving a reserva
tion, she added. Unless this de
posit is received no later than two
weeks before the weekend, an auto
matic cancellation will be made.
Representing the A&M BSU will
be Larry Braidfoot and Don White
hall.
Bi-aidfoot, a junior animal sci
ence major from Estelline, will
work in Alaska. Whitehall, a
senior industrial education student
from Houston, is scheduled to work
in Pakistan.
After arriving at his mission
field, June 10, Braidfoot will assist
in vacation Bible school work and
in other youth activities in the
areas of Kenai, Valdez, Fort Yukon
and Fairbanks. He is scheduled to
return August 23.
Whitehall, along with an out-of-
state student, will work among
English-speaking Pakistani stu
dents. They will arrive in Decca,
the country’s capitol, on June 14
and depart for the U. S. on August
20.

How Ford economy won
for Tiny Lund at Daytona
The Daytona 500 is one of America’s
toughest stock car events. It measures
the toughness, stability, over-all per
formance and economy characteristics
of the cars that take up its challenge—
in a way that compresses years of driving
punishment into 500 blazing miles. This
year mechanical failures claimed over 50
per cent of the cars that entered. That’s
why Tiny Lund’s victory in a Ford (with
four other Fords right behind him) is a
remarkable testimony to sheer engineer
ing excellence.
Lund attributed his victory in part to
the “missing pit stop.” He made one less
pit stop for fuel than his competition—
proving that Ford economy can pay off
in some fairly unlikely situations!
Economy and the winner of the Day
tona 500 might sound like odd bedfellows
at first. Yet economy is basic in every car
we make . . . yes, even the Thunderbird
is an economy car in its own way. Here’s
what we mean . ..
Economy is the measure of service and
satisfaction the customer receives in rela
tion to the price he pays for it. It does
not mean, however, austerity . . . you
have taught us this. Americans want—
and we try hard to give them—cars that
are comfortable to ride in, fun to drive,
and powerful enough to get out of their
own way. Not many Americans want to
settle for basic transportation. You see
this in our sales figures—more than half
of our 1963 sales are coming from the top
of each model line. We’re selling con
vertibles, hard tops, the jazzy cars . . .
the bucket-seat, high-performance, lux
ury editions are going like hot cakes.
Yet for all the fun that people are
demanding in their cars, they still are
very conscious of the element of thrift—
of avoiding unnecessary expense. This is
the kind of economy we build into every
car from the compact Falcon to the lux
urious Thunderbird.
There’s a special economy, for instance,
in Ford’s freedom from service. Every
car and virtually every wagon can travel
36,000 miles before it needs a major
chassis lubrication. Other routine service
has been reduced, too—because these
Fords are simply built better—and of
better materials—than ever before.
In its own elegant way, even the
Thunderbird gives you economy. It will
travel 100,000 miles or 3 years before you
have to lubricate the chassis. Thunder-
birds have a way of becoming classics—
as a look at their remarkably high resale
value will quickly tell you. This, too, is
economy.
Once, long ago—before the arrival of
the Income Tax—a wealthy lady was
asked to comment on the solid gold
plumbing of her latest villa at Newport.
“So thrifty, my dear,” said the dowager
. . . “it will never, ever rust.”
Economy then, is many things to many
people. Whatever economy means to you,
you’re pretty sure to find it in a Ford.
America’s liveliest,
most care-free cars!

and bounded in part by Siberia.
DABBS, AN experienced Asian
traveller, became interested espec
ially in the remote area because
of a 1 “lost language,” Tocharian.
Between 1893 and 1914 scraps of
documents came to light contain
ing the language, no longer spoken.
It is one Of the major mysteries
of linguistice science.
Dabbs studied the forgotten
language in Berlin, where manu
scripts were preserved in museums,
and visited almost every other
museum with fragments of the
language. He visited not only
Berlin but also India House in
London, the Bibliotheque Nation-
ale in Paris and the Museum of
Central Asian Antiquities in New
Delhi.
“SOME OF the chief problems
in this study,” Dabbs said, “were
the collection of accounts and thp
identification of place names.”
Immediate past president of the
American Name Society, Dabbs
believes the Chinese Turkestan
area is the most difficult and com
plex part of the world for the
identification of place names.
