LOUNGE REACTION
Home Comfort
Can Be Found
By LARRY JERDEN
Special Writer
Everyone in the new and reno
vated dorms and almost everyone
Connected with A&M is aware of
the beautiful lounges built in the
Sbisa Hall area.
These modem structures, sym
bolic of the forward strides taken
by the university in the last few
years, contain practically “all the
comforts of home.” There are tele
phones, three to a lounge; a tele
vision, capable of getting a clear
picture of Channel 3 with ease;
drink and “cush” machines for
starved studiers; card tables for
those tired of studying, and mod
em furniture resting on deep
carpeting. Final touches are added
by the “fireplace” and paintings on
the wall.
It isn’t very hard to hear ex
tremely favorable comments about
the lounges, and in typical Aggie
tradition, gripes are heard, too. In
the lounges serving civilian stu
dents, a crowd of 30 to 50 may be
found any evening, some watching
television, others playing cards
and/or engaged in a multi-lingual
“discussion,” and a poor soul or
two on the phones pleading for
quiet while he tries to make a date
with his girl attending Tokyo Uni
versity via a $12-for-three-minutes
call. It is really a happy bunch
in there, and you can just see all
the grade points being chalked up
by these hard-working Ags.
There have been some adverse
comments, some of them blamed
on the students, others innate in
the design of the dorms. The most
often heard is one that is a carry
over from the old lounges: the
refreshment machines don’t work.

One civilian student admitted, how
ever, that all the machines in his
lounge were working at the same
time one night, so there is hope.
The phones are not separated
from each other by anything but
a board, and the whole area has
not a trace of sound-proofing, so
phone calls usually end up as yell
ing contests: the callers trying to
outyell each other, the television
and the crowd.
In the less-used Corps lounges
the noise problem isn’t as bad, but
then the phones in the Dorm 18
lounge still aren’t connected. An
interesting complaint from the
Corps lounges arose when the
seniors in Dorm 17 locked the doors
connecting that dorm with its
lounge, and some in Dorm 18 put
a sign declaring the door con
necting it with the new relaxation
center off-limits to all except
themselves in the evening hours.
The fish and sophomores are
sitting call-to-quarters nights, so
conditions aren’t quite as crowded
in their lounges.
The big weekends offer chances
for Aggies to show off their new
possessions, and from visitors, the
lounges draw their highest praise.
One cadet’s date paid the lounges
perhaps their greatest compliment
when she said, “Why, it doesn’t
even seem like A&M anymore!”
Rebel Students
Get Victory
At Berkeley
BERKELEY, Calif. <A>) —Jubi
lant rebel students at the Univer
sity of California held a noon rally
Wednesday to celebrate “victory”
in obtaining faculty backing of
their sit-in battle against restric
tions on political activity.
“Magnificent,” said Mario Savio,
leader of the Free Speech Move
ment, after the faculty Academic
Senate adopted 824-115 a resolu
tion recommending that the stu
dents be given most of what they
have been demanding through four
massive sit-in demonstrations.
Savio, choking at times with
emotion, told his rally audience of
2,500, “We have arrived at a point
where we have to be responsible.”
Many of the coeds were sobbing as
Savio added, “I am confident that
the students and faculty will exer
cise their freedom with the same
responsibility they’ve shown in
winning their freedom.”
University President Clark Kerr
declined comment on the Academic
Senate proposal.
The university’s Board of Re
gents will meet Dec. 18 in Los An
geles to consider the 1,200-member
faculty group’s proposal which in
cludes
— Freedom to advocate on the
campus any off - campus cause
whether it is legal or not.
— Freedom from campus disci
pline for off-campus political ac
tivity.
A delegation of students planned
to ask Gov. Edmund G. Brown for
dismissal of criminal charges
against 814 arrested in a round-
the-clock sit-in at Sproul Hall last
week.
Dairyman Course
Set Dec. 17-18
The 20th annual Dairyman’s
Short Course will be held Dec. 17-
18 in the Ballroom of the Memorial
Student Center. More than 150
dairymen are expected to attend,
said Dr. R. C. Leighton, professor
of dairy science.
The course is designed to serve
the needs of all dairymen, milk
plant fieldmen, commercial feed
company fieldmen and others di
rectly or indirectly interested in
the future of the dairy industry
in Texas, Leighton said.
Each year’s program is planned
to bring those in attendance up-
to-date on the problems of dairy
cattle feeding, breeding and man
agement as well as the marketing
of milk and milk products.
Dr. R. D. Plowman, leader of
genetics and management investi
gations, from the Dairy Cattle
Research Branch, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Beltsville,
Maryland, will speak.
His topic is “Selection of Sires
for Herd Improvement.” W. L.
O’Brien, supervisor of Milk Section
from the City of Houston Health
Department, Houston, will explain
“Proper Cleaning of Dairy Equip
ment.”
Other speakers will include Jan
C. Bonsma, a visiting professor in
Animal Husbandry from South
Africa, and Dr. R. V. Jessup, from
Jessup Farms, Glendale, Calif.
