stipulation that at two of those
meals the men have to be back in
class in less than an hour and it
seems like an almost impossible
task.
But the job is old stuff to the
staff of Sbisa Dining Hall at A&M.
And at the same time, across the
campus, another staff is preparing
to accomodate up to 3,000 more
hungry Aggies.
Duncan Dining Hall is newer, and
its modern facilities are among the
best.
Sbisa Hall, built in 1912, also
serves as a place where many im
portant social events are held, in
cluding all the class dances, the
Military Ball and the Combat Ball.
ABOUT 200 full-time employes
and about 200 student waiters pre
pare and serve the meals. Even
with this cost of labor, food and
equipment, it is among the least
expensive boards of any university
in the United States today, accord
ing to dining hall officials.
A student is charged $1.50 per
day for three meals. This is usually
paid at registration time for each
semester. The money buys the food,
pays the labor, and covers other
expenses of the dining halls.
Aside from the student board fee,
the dining halls receive no federal
or state aid, and are self-support
ing.
During the regular semesters,
meals are served family-style with
the tables already set and waiting
when the students arrive for meals.
Waiters fill the food containers
until the hungry Aggies at each
table have their fill.
VISITORS TO the campus will
find a hot meal waiting them too,
and usually for less than a dollar.
During the summer, with fewer
students on the campus, the meals
are served cafeteria-style in Sbisa,
and have prices set on each food
item.
The basement of Sbisa was ren
ovated last summer for use as a
cafeteria. The work includes drop
ping the ceiling, putting in a new
floor and installing air condition
ing. The cafeteria equipment nor
mally used during the summer was
moved to the basement area.
Dean of Students James P. Han-
nigan said the new facility was
provided mainly for civilian stu
dents, at the suggestion of campus
student groups.
Students eating in both dining
halls are treated to turkey dinners
three times each year. On Thanks
giving, Christmas and Easter tur
key, yams, gravy, peas, rolls, cran
berries and other dishes garnish
the table.
Many visitors and members of
the faculty and staff attend the
holiday meals.
Ags Get Mail At Two Points
The incoming freshman at A&M
will soon find that one of the things
he’ll think about most often is mail
from home, sweethearts or friends.
Mail for students is delivered at
two places on the campus. One
is the main College Station Post
Office.
;THE MAIN post office is loca
ted at the corner of Houston and
F.M. Highway No. 60, across from
the North Gate shopping area.
The other post office is in the
east end of the Memorial Student
Center.
Regular small shipments come in
three times a day. One arrives
around 8 p.m. During the day a
shipment arrives at 11:15 and an
other around 4:20.
During the day mail leaves Col
lege Station at 11:15 a.m., 4:15
p.m., 6 p.m. and all hours of the
night. Any letter deposited by 5
p.m. will be delivered in almost all
of Texas the following day.
The university does have a spe
cial delivery service; therefore, it
is important that the student give
his correct room number when fil
ling out the application for a box.
Immediate delivery is made in the
special delivery department.
Aggies Find Financial Help
In Jobs, Loans, Scholarships
THE FRIENDLY LOAN MAN
tries to give help where help is needed.
Financial aid may be obtained
in several ways by students at
A&M University.
One such way is part-time cam
pus employment which allows in
dustrious students to earn a part
of their college expenses.
About 1,000 student jobs are
offered each year. Work ranges
from clerical and drafting assign
ments to yard work, livestock hand
ling, serving in dining halls and
assistance in departmental labora
tories.
Also, student loans are available
from funds administered by the
Office of Student Aid.
Thirty-day loans of $20 or less
are granted to all students in good
standing. Larger loans may be se
cured by students with satisfactory
scholastic records. No minimum or

a student moves to a new area or
has the sticker destroyed, a new

security for 50 cents.
This decal will have a particular
number, depending in which dorm
itory area the student lives. This
number will indicate the parking
lot in which the student may park
his car.
During business hours, campus
streets are adequate only for hand
ling of traffic necessary to college
business. These hours are from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Students cannot drive cars to
classes. They may use them for
off-campus trips during classroom
hours provided no stops are made
on the campus.
Speed limits are 20 m.p.h. and
are posted. Pedestrians have the
right of way at all times.
Under an authorization granted
by the A&M Board of Directors, a
fee may be levied for regaining
college driving rights taken from
violators of college traffic laws.
When violations of the rules and
regulations are made, a notice will
be placed on the vehicle and the
offender will take the notice to the
Cashier in the Fiscal Office and
pay the reinstatement fee.
