National Fire Prevention Week
is being observed on campus this
week.
Pamphlets concerning facts about
fires and fire prevention are being
distributed on campus.
Gilbert B. Eimann, Fire Chief
and Fire Marshall, said Monday
the regular fire department was to
have held a practice fire drill Tues
day. Besides this drill and the
distribution of pamphlets, no other
observance of the yearly event has
been scheduled.
Eimann said he hoped next year
to have a more extensive program.
ACCORDING TO EIMANN,
A&M’s fire safety record is far
above the national average. Only
a small number of minor fires have
been reported this semester.
With the winter season near,
however, Eimann has warned local
residents about overloading elec
trical circuits and heating systems.
“Most of the fires at this time
of the year are due to people fail
ing to check heating systems be
fore turning them on after a period
of disuse,” Eimann noted.
NATIONAL FIRE Prevention
Week originated as the anniver
sary of the Great Chicago Fire of
1871.
It was originated in 1911 as
Fire Prevention Day by the Fire
Marshalls Association of North
America to encourage public in

mendation of a National Fire Pro
tection Association committee, it
was extended to a week in 1922.
Fire Preveniton Week is always

period in which falls Oct. 9, the
date of the Chicago disaster.

Editor Blasts
Senate Talk
On Vanity Fair
“I would like to point out that
Vanity Fair is not a function of
the Senior Class,” advised Chris
Schaefer, editor of The Aggieland.
“Nor is the selection a Senior
Class activity; nor is Vanity Fair
sponsored by the Senior Class,”
Schaefer went on to say recently
when asked about the Student
Senate discussion of the contest
last Thursday night.
“In other schools that have an
affair similar to Vanity Fair this
section of the school’s yearbook
generally consists of the girls the
editors of the yearbook consider to
be the most beautiful on campus,”
Schaefer said.
Students Oppose
Tech Name Change
LUBBOCK (iP) — The Toreador,
student newspaper at Texas Tech,
announced opposition Monday to
changing the name of the school
to Texas Technological University
since, it argues, the school no
longer is a technological institu
tion.
The faculty advisory committee
of Texas Tech agreed by unani
mous vote Monday to support the
student body in opposition to
changing the name.
The Toreador printed an extra
Saturday, giving details of the
announcement and opposing it
editorially.
“Since, until recently, there were
no girls at A&M, the nominations
were restricted to girls dating
Aggies. Nominations are cus
tomarily restricted to seniors as
an honor to the Senior Class,” he
said.
“In the past The Aggieland has
sponsored this event and has paid
for it out of Aggieland funds. This
affair costs The Aggieland around
$1,000 a year.”
From the girls nominated to
Vanity Fair, semi-finalists are cus
tomarily chosen by the editors of
The Aggieland or by a person or
a committee appointed by them.
The finalists are chosen at the
Student Publications Banquet by a
vote of those present at the dinner.
The results of the voting are not
announced until the following
Saturday night when the finalists
are presented at the Senior Ring
Dance by the editor of The Aggie
land and the Aggie sweetheart.
“If anyone has any further ques
tions about Vanity Fair or any
other aspect of The Aggieland they
are welcome to come and see me
in Dorm 5, Room 304,” Schaefer
added.
