Metcalf Awarded Color Television EDITORS NOTE: Shelby Metcalf was presented with a color TV set this summer on behalf of the entire student body in apprecia tion of his leading the Aggie cagers to the Southwest Conference Basketball Championship. The following is an appreciation letter from Coach Metcalf. I am deeply appreciative of the beautiful color TV set given me through the combined efforts of The Battalion and the Texas A&M University student body. I sincerely believe that The Battalion’s drive to raise funds for this present should be classified as something beyond the call of duty. I wish it were possible for me to personally thank each person who contributed to this fund. But, since such is im possible, I hope you will allow me space in The Battalion to express a blanket “thank you” to all concerned. Too, on behalf of myself and the 1964 Texas Aggie varsity basketball squad, I want to convey appreciation for the splendid support we received from you and your sports staff of The Battalion and the entire student body. No team in the United States was supported by more spirited or loyal fans. Sincerely, Shelby Metcalf Head Basketball Coach Registration Set For Night Courses The Sam Houston State Teachers College extension courses and the late afternoon and night classes at A&M University will again be offered this semester.

Headlines Feature Gladys As Dora 9 Ethel Take Gas By The Associated Press MIAMI, Fla. — Tropical storm Gladys grew to hurricane force Monday as her older sisters, Ethel and Dora, appeared headed for their graves in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. Gladys, the season’s fourth hur ricane, was frothing the tropical waters about 850 miles east of San Juan, P.R., with highest winds of 85 miles an hour. Her gales embraced an area 250 miles in diameter, but the Weather Bureau said the storm would pass a safe distance north of the Lee- Student Custodians To Begin Training Course Wednesday A three-hour training course for students desiring jobs as dormi tory custodians will begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the University Fire Annuals Available Only On Fridays The remaining copies of the Aggieland will be issued only from 1-5 p.m. each Friday.

The superintendent of the Build ings and Utilities Department said the course consists of three one- hour sessions to be held Wednes day, Thursday and Friday at 5 p.m. “The student custodian program provides job opportunities for a large number of students, but only students who complete the train ing course will be eligible for these jobs,” Parsons said.

She posed no immediate threat to land. Gladys was moving westnorth- west at 18 miles an hour. She was expected to increase slightly in size and intensity and turn to a more northwesterly course by Tuesday, the Weather Bureau said. Ethel swirled into the North At lantic after brushing the resort island of Bermuda with fringe winds that gusted to 100 miles an hour. There were no reports of injur ies from Ethel on the British crown colony, but trees were blown down, power lines cut, boats sunk and roads flooded. Dora picked up speed and swept northeastward away from the northeast coast of the United States, but gale warnings were dis played from Block Island, R.I., to Newburyport, Mass. The once-mighty Dora, down graded to a tropical storm, no long er posed a threat to any land and was expected to diminish in inten sity, if not In size, the Weather Bureau said. Behind her, Dora left at least seven persons dead and property damage reckoned in excess of $200 million, most of it where she slammed ashore as a hurricane in northeast Florida last Wednesday. Power To Be Off During Hook-Up Electric power will be turned off in 38 campus buildings Saturday, as the Physical Plants System connects the new electrical power distribution system with the existing cir cuits. Installation of a new 12,000 volt generator and related equipment has reached the stage where the connection is necessary, according to W. H. Badgett, Physical Plant director. Badgett added that the connection does not signify com- pletetion of the electrical pro-+i: ject, but is one more step in # Internal Revenue Has Extra Funds that direction. Power will be extinguished at 8 a. m. in the 38 buildings and will be restored by 5 p.m. Buildings to be affected Saturday include Academic, Agriculture, Agriculture Analytical Service, Agricultural Information, Animal Husbandry Pavilion, Animal In dustries, Architecture, Biological Sciences. Also, Bizzell, Bolton, Chemistry, Creamery-Sales, Data Processing Center, Doherty Petroleum, Dorms 1-12, Duncan Dining Hall, Fermier, Francis, Golf Course Club House, Goodwin, Herman F. Keep, Mili tary Science, Nagle, Physics, Plant Sciences, Soil and Crop Sciences and System Administration. The project had been set for Aug. 24, but late delivery of nec- esary equipment caused its re scheduling, Badgett said. The absence of electrical power will also prevent the operation of any air conditioning or refrigera tion equipment in the affected buildings. Telephone systems de pending on power from rectifiers will also be inoperative, Badgett noted. This project is part of the campus improvement program which includes the construction of new dormitories. An increase in campus electrical output has been deemed necesary largely because of the addition of air conditioning to several buildings.
