ical engineering from A&M in
1922. He became dean of Tarle
ton in 1945 and was named presi
dent there in 1948. He will re

Pre-Med Society
Schedules Banquet
The Premedical-Predental So
ciety will hold its annual spring
banquet at 7 p.m. Saturday in
the Holiday Inn.
Speaker will be Col. William P.
Fife, Assistant Chief, Aerospace
Medical Research Division, USAF
School of Aerospace Medicine, at
Brooks Air Force Base. He will
speak on the various aspects of
research in Aerospace Medicine.
Professors at Texas A&M take
care of students’ minds; Dan
Ruiz of the Memorial Student
Center looks after their stom
achs.
The MSC assistant food mana
ger has served gastronomic de
lights for 15 years, specializing
in banquets, luncheons, coffees
and catering to events at White
Coliseum and the president’s
home.
Ruiz arranges two to three
meals on an average day. Groups
of 16 to 300 persons consume
them. He orders food for spe
cified menus and writes them
for Lion and Kiwanis Club meet
ings.
With five fulltime helpers and
20 students waiting part-time,
Ruiz has made culinary arrange
ments for as many as four ban
quets a day. He’s had gripes
from customers and helpers, but
except for year-end study de
mands, Dan loses few of either.
“I try to get along with my
people and the customer,” Ruiz
confided. “If a customer says
something is wrong, we correct
it.”
An Aggie once registered com
plaints about his beef. Ruiz
picked up the ticket for the stu
dent’s meal and told a waiter:
“We want the customer to be
satisfied.”
Except for a food serving
school at Houston’s Shamrock-
Hilton Hotel, he has had no
formal training.
“When I started, I tried to
keep my eyes open and see what
was going on,” the Bryan native
remarked. From a waiter in
the coffee shop, where the late
Charles Burton of the Dallas
News gave him a clipping about
Aggie baseball coach Tom
Chandler, the intense food spe
cialist worked his way up to
assistant to MSC Food Service
Manager John Ingram.
“I haven’t got time for any
thing but work,” is Ruiz’ motto.
Beef is the most sought menu
item, he notes. MSC kitchens
are most famous for smorgas
bord s.
“I couldn’t count how many
Swedish smorgasbords we’ve
had,” the 40-year-old assistant
manager remarked. “We have
Hawaiian smorgasbords occas
ionally and a new one—a German
smorgasbord —■ coming up.”
Prolonged contact with Aggies
has made one of Ruiz.
“I like the way they introduce
themselves,” he said, “and their
friendliness.” The father of
three said an Aggie stopped to
offer help on the highway once
because of an Aggie sticker on
his car. Dan says he tries to
do the same.
Ruiz began working at A&M
in 1942 at Duncan Dining Hall
and the Aggieland Inn. After
two years in the Army, he re
turned to A&M to work at Sbisa
Hall. Following a layoff, he
worked at government construc
tion at old Bryan Air Force Base
(now A&M’s research annex). He
started in the MSC in 1951 as
a waiter and about the same
time met his wife, Juana, in
Monterrey.
She’s the best cook in the
family, Dan hurriedly points out.
He doesn’t even broil steaks for
a backyard cook-out.
Fishery Students
Due To Restock
Easterwood Lake
Fish Lake, near Easterwood
Airport, is about to lose its fish.
Fishery students plan to re
move the present stock next week
and restock with bass and sun-
fish. Better fishing is the aim of
the project.
Total kill and restocking were
planned by junior and senior
wildlife science students in a
fishery biology course, with as
sistance from Texas Game
Warden trainees.
“Fish Lake fishing has been
poor for several years,” explained
Instructor Van Conner. “One
reason for this is evercrowding.
Unfortunately, the only remedy
is removal of fish by draining or
poisoning.”
Students will apply Derris
powder or rotenone, provided by
the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department.
Hybrid sunfish with lower re
productive capacity will be used
in restocking.
