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

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-

The remaining copies of the
Aggieland will be issued only
from 1-5 p.m. each Friday.
Students who have not already
picked up their yearbooks must

The Aggielands will be avail

The superintendent of the Build

the course consists of three one-

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.
Students who completed the
course last year need only to apply
for jobs this year.
Directing the training course

The first few minutes of the
Wednesday afternoon session will
be devoted to completion of job

of the Caribbean. 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.
