day night that the signing has been tentatively set for 9
a. m. Tuesday.
The State Senate approved the name-change Tuesday
morning by voice vote and sent the bill to the governor’s
desk. Sen. William T. Moore said there was only “a little
bit” of opposition to the name-change.
Haines said that the name-change will go into effect
90 days after the close of the current session. He pointed
out that the change would become effective with the Gover

chambers passed the bill by
more than a 2/3 majority
counted vote. However, the
bill passed with voice votes
and falls under the 90 day rule.
THE LEGISLATURE has adopt
ed a proposal which set its ad-
jourment for May 24. Therefore,
the name-change will become ef
fective August 22.
Steps to bring the name-change
about got underway February 23,
when the Board of Directors voted
to request that the name be
changed to Texas A&M University.
Haines was author of the piece
of legislation which became HB
755. The bill went to the House
State Affairs Committee, April 3.
CHANCELLOR M. T. Harring
ton; President Earl Rudder; L. F.
Peterson, president of the Associa-
| tion of Former Students and mem
ber of the Board of Directors; R.
L. Hunt, Century Council member;
and Joe Easley, student, appeared
before the committee to speak in
favor of the bill.
The committee referred the bill
to a sub-committee for further-
discussion. The House gave the
bill its final approval last week
and sent it to the Senators for
consideration.
THE SENATE passage of the
bill brought about speculation on
campus Tuesday afternoon as to
the number of steps that would
have to be taken on campus after
the name-change becomes official.
Many departments were con
cerned about the change of let
terheads, booklets, and various oth
er publications which are in pro
duction with references to A&M
as a college.
However, there is one group on
campus that is fortunate enough
to have the problem behind them.
The Ring Committee took steps
earlier to adapt to the name-change
and even though the committee had
to make some changes in its origi
nal decision, it is ahead of most
everyone else on the campus.
Are You Minus A Tooth?
Has anyone lost a false tooth ?
It seems that Michael Roquemore, senior engineering
major from Carthage, was given an extra tooth by the col
lege laundry.
Since Roquemore has all of his teeth and is not in need
of another one, he would like to find out to whom the tooth
belongs.
The missing denture may be claimed any night in the
office of The Battalion.
House Rejects
Anti-Co-ed Bill
Asked By Smith
The House of Representatives
rejected an effort Tuesday by Rep.
Will Smith of Beaumont to intro
duce a bill which would prohibit
girls from attending A&M on the
undergraduate level.
Smith, Class of ’39, has an ac
companying resolution in the
House which is slated to be heard
by the State Affairs Committee
Monday night.
A two-thirds majority would
have been needed for permission
to introduce the measure. The
House refusal was 71-39.
Rep. David Haines of College
Station, speaking- in opposition to
the proposal, said, the bill would
do more than keep out co-eds. He
argued, “It tells the Board of Di
rectors of the school what to do.”
Haines said Tuesday night he
felt sure Smith would make an
other attempt to introduce the bill.
Commenting on Smith’s efforts,
Sen. William T. Moore of Bryan
said, “The Board of Directors is
running that school oyer there. I
would like to see this thing
dropped. I don’t want to keep
those boys stirred up, they need
to be studying this time of the
year.”

USD A Club Plans Tour Of Rockies
By JOHN WRIGHT
Battalion Staff Writer
The Bryan-College Station
United States Department of
Agriculture Club is sponsoring a
two-week tour of the Canadian
Rockies, June 15 through 30.
The tour, comprised of a group
of 25 people traveling approxi
mately 2500 miles in a charter
ed Greyhound bus, is a non-pro
fit venture available to, but
not limited to, USDA employees.
The estimated cost of $250
per person includes accomoda
tions, bus fare, and three tours.
Accomodations will be in bet-
ter-than-average hotels and mo
tels, with twin bedded rooms and
private baths, said Mrs. Myrtle
B. Jones, arranger and conductor
for the trip. She added that res
ervations have already been
made for accomodations and that
the park service had been kind
enough to enable the group to
tour the various parks in the
same bus, thus saving consider
able expense.
“This trip is being conducted
at cost. The only thing that
persons will have to buy is their
food.” Mrs. Jones said that the
group tour was an excellent way
for people to travel who ordinar
ily could not afford an individ
ual trip.
Mrs. Jones emphasized that
students are also welcome on
the tour! “Anyone who loves
to travel as I do will appreciate
this tour,” she added.
Thus far four people have for
warded money for the trip,
while several others have ex
pressed intentions to do so, said
Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Jones said that she first
heard of the idea from the state
of Washington, and thought that
local people might be interested
in the idea. The local chap
ter of the USDA approved the
idea and Mrs. Jones was named
arranger and conductor of the
tour.
“We hope that this tour will be
a success and that we will be
able to ai’range such an outing
each year.”
Mrs. Jones stressed the fact
that the ti'ip is a non-profit
venture. Estimates of the cost
of the tour have been figui'ed
high and adjustments will be
made at the end of the tour.
The tour will depart from
Bryan at 7:30 a.m., June 15 for
Fort Worth, Wichita Falls and
Amarillo. On the 16th the tour
will continue through Clayton,
Raton and on through New Mex
ico along the old stage coach
trail route, through the famed
Jackson Hole country to Grand
Teton National Park, and on to
Moran, Wyoming.
On June 17, the tour will move
on to Yellow Stone Park and then
to Bozeman Montana. On the
18th the tour will pass through
Helena, Augusta, East Glacier
and St. Mary’s, Montana.
On the 20th the group will tour
Glacier National Park and from
there will proceed down the “Go-
ing-to-the-Sun” highway across
the Continental divide through
Logan pass.
The next day the group will
continue on to Lethbridge and
Banff National Park in Canada.
On the 22nd the group will take
the Grey Line tour to Maraine
Lake and spend the night at Lake
Louise.
On the 23rd the Grey Line
tour will continue to Columbia
Ice Field and will include a
ride above the clouds that will be
followed by a $2.00 trip by snow
mobile across a glacier. The
night will be spent again at Lake
Louise.
The next day the travelers will
continue to Spokane, Washing
ton. On the 25th the group will
cross the Bitterroot Range to
Missoula, located at the mount
of Hell Gate Canyon, to Hamil
ton and on to Salmon, a historic
mining town on the “River-of-no-
Return.”
On the 26th the group will
leave Salmon for Challis and
Pocatello, Idaho. From Pocatello
the group will proceed to Brig
ham City, Ogden, and Salt Lake
City in the Wasatach mountains
of Utah. On the 27th Salt Lake
City will be left behind and the
group will continue on to Grand
Junction, Colorado.
Leaving Grand Junction on the
28th the group will drive down
the southern slope of the Rock
ies on the “Million Dollar High
way” or go by America’s last
regularily scheduled narrow
gauge railway along the “Rio-
de-Los Animas” river to Du
rango.
On the 29th the group will
leave Durango for Pagosa Sp
rings Colorado, Santa F e,
Vaughn, Clovis, New Mexico,
and Lubbock.
The group will arrive in Bryan
on the 30th.
For reservations contact Mrs.
Jones, 1305 Antone St, Bryan.
