Library Announces
Hours for Next Week
The University Library users
will have fewer hours to research
and check materials during the
period between fall and spring
semesters.
Library hours will be curtailed
Jan. 25-31, when most A&M stu
dents will be off campus, an
nounced John B. Smith, acting
director.
The library will be closed Sun
day. Regular services will be
available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Jan 26-30 and 8 a.m. to 12 noon
on Saturday Jan. 31.
The regular time schedule will
be resumed Feb. 1.
Room Clearance
Deadline Saturday
Civilian students who do not
plan to register for the spring
semester must vacate rooms and
turn in a room clearance form at
the Housing Office before 6 p.m.
Saturday.
Housing director Allan Madeley
noted proper clearance is required
in order for students to get re
funds on property and room de
posits and to avoid a $5 penalty
for failure to check out properly.
“All required signatures should
be obtained before the clearance
form is turned in,” Madeley said.
Resident advisers will check
rooms to be vacated. The housing
manager noted that long distance
service agreements with the tele
phone company are the students’
responsibility.
Changes affecting the student
number should be reported to
General Telephone so calls placed
from the number after a student
departs are not billed to him.

Editor:
I was disappointed by the
Aggies who traveled to Austin
for the T-Sip basketball game
the 13th. When I was a student
at A&M we showed better sports
manship than was exhibited Tues
day night. There was widespread
singing of “I’ve Been Working On
The Railroad” during t.u.’s alma
mater and some “Poor T-Sips”
toward the end of the Fish game.
This was not just Fish and
civilians who might not know any
better. There were seniors and
juniors in uniform providing a
bad example of sportsmanship as
well. These people should know
better than that.
I’m not saying that the Sips
were any better because they
weren’t and should we have been
outscored we most certainly would
have been serenaded by “Poor
Aggies.” I hate t.u. as much as
any of us—perhaps more since I
live here in the middle of T-Sip
country—but does our poor sports
manship make us better than
them, or does it pull us down to
their level?

Dear Mr. Schwei:
I did not “condemn” the Rugby
Club, nor can I understand how
you got the idea that such was
even my intention.
All I want is for you to remove
your practice sessions from the
drill field when it is wet. Prefer
ably, you will move them to the
“grassy” area by Davis-Gary or
some other appropriate area.
By the way, I enjoyed the game
with Dallas—your guys really
“beat hell out of them!”
