Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, March 29, 1967 MSC Council To Be Revised Coordinator Addresses Lions Club Tonight CADET SLOUCH A by Jim Earle A reorganization on the Mem- oral Student Center Council and Directorate becomes effective April 20 at the Spring Awards Banquet. Approved by the MSC Council, the new plan will relieve the president and vice-president of many time-consuming chores and leave them more time for creative work. “The new structure facilitates a great deal more activity for public relations committees and a more intimate relationship be tween the executive and operating committees,” Roberts said. The new organization provides for the grouping of all the com mittees into two categories, oper ations and programs, with an executive vice-president at the head of each. “Because of the expansion of Freshmen Tour Beaumont Area Seven Texas A&M freshmen have received a broad view of agri-business in a tour of Beau mont industries and businesses. Goodbye to the Aggies’ Best Friend ‘Pinkie 9 Leaves Many Memories The Dominican Republic first year students toured Bethlehem Steel shipyards, the Rice Pasture Research and Extension Center, a Beaumont bank, M and M Air Service (a rice seeding and fer tilizing firm), and Port of Beau mont and Beaumont High FFA chapter farm and projects. The four-day tour was ar ranged by J. Earl Brickhouse, manager of trade development and civic affairs of the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce. The chamber’s hospitality committee, Beaumont A&M and Mother’s Clubs arranged sleeping quarters and luncheons. “In addition to becoming better acquainted with agri-business, they received first hand cultural training and got a close look at democracy in action.” The A&M students ate Easter dinner in the home of Gus Minges Jr., president of the Beaumont A&M Club. Mrs. W. T. Ricks, A&M Mothers Club president, helped arrange the meal. The contingent visited the San Jacinto Battleground on the return trip Sunday. the MSC programs over the years, it was necessary to modify the executive structure of the council,” Roberts explained. “The original structure was adopted in 1949,” Roberts con tinued, “when there were three committees in the program. To day over 560 students participate in 15 directorate committees, with a composite budget in excess of $100,000. “With the quality of personnel staffing the new positions, we are looking forward to our best program in history,” Robert said. Ronald Zipp will be executive vice-president of operations and Benjamin Sims will be his assist ant. The head of programs will be David Gay and James Will- banks will be his second. All of the committees are re sponsible through their main divi sions directly to the president, as opposed to when they went through the vice-president, Wayne Prescott. This leaves Prescott free for executive func tions. “More juniors will be trained to step into leadership positions their senior year,” Roberts said, pointing out an additional feature of the new plan. Mrs. Lorene Roby of Texas A&M will be the featured speak er tonight at the College Station Evening Lions Club. The Lions are honoring the city’s school teachers. Mrs. Roby, public relations co ordinator and a doctoral student in A&M’s Education and Psychol ogy Department, wrote an article appearing in a recent issue of “TESA Talks.” The Texas Edu cational Secretaries Association \ publication article advocating personal public relations is titled “Time Enough.” Bulletin Board More than six months ago, P. L. Downs made a visit to The Battalion office to welcome officially members of this staff into their new positions. He said he only wanted to take a minute to chat with us about A&M, but his “minute became five, then 25, and soon an hour had passed before we realized it. Being new on the campus myself, I was told many interesting things about Aggieland, things which can’t be found in any freshman handbook. His association with A&M since 1902 had brought him many memories, both good and bad, of the thousands of students he has seen pass through its doors. “Pinkie” told us of how he and his wife had encouraged many discouraged students to remain here in school and to meet their problems head on, not dodge them. He told of the delight he got from bringing a bus load of patients from Temple’s VA Hospital to A&M for a home football game each year, and gathering fruit for those veterans each Christmas. Many students don’t realize that Pinkie was the origin ator of the thumbs-up “Gig ’Em, Aggies” admonition, nor do they know the interesting story behind it. “Pinkie” praised A&M’s leaders, both student and faculty, saying that they are some of the “finest people you’ll ever know.” He deminded us to visit him if we ever needed “a friend,” and that his door was “always open” to “any Aggie — at any time.” Pinkie urged Aggies to “never forget” to read their Bibles and “go to church regularly.” Pinkie was very active himself in the Methodist Church. Pinkie concluded his “little chat” by saying that he could “go on and on,” singing the praises of A&M. It came natural to him. “If anyone loved A&M more than me,” he said, “he’d have to eat it.”—W.G. Making the tour were Gus Berges, Juan Ceballos, Juan Cuel- lo, Gus Nunez, Carlos Pellerano, Julio Polanco, Manuel Bautista, and international training assist ant David Sandefer of A&M’s International Programs Office. “The tour gave these Domini can students a broader look into U. S. agriculture than they get through their degree work on campus,” explained William E. Beach, campus coordinator of Dominican Republic Programs.
