THE BATTALION
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1977
Bike storage available
to students over break
Wind, rain and thieves can abuse
a bicycle left outside during the
holiday, but a method, short of
stashing it in a bedroom, is available
for bike care.
The Texas A&M University Stu
dent Government is offering to store
bikes in the pistol range under Kyle
Field for 25 cents. The bikes will be
under lock, key and the watchful
eyes of University Police.
Student Government workers
will store bikes 5-7 p.m. Dec. 14
and 15 at the range. Bikes may be
picked up Jan. 16. the first day of

If you are being
commissioned
You may want to join
the Bank of A&M’s
World-Wide program.
When you go on active duty, your banking
requirements will change dramatically.
You’re going to move around the world.
Your need for credit and for cash will be
quite different from your classmates who
return to their hometown to work and live.
And the penalties for record keeping er
rors are more severe for military officers
than most (if not all) other professions.
The World-Wide Department of the Bank of A&M was conceived to meet the needs of A&M
officers on active duty. The department is staffed by Aggies with first hand experience of TDY,
overseas movement, car financing in a foreign city, check-cashing problems at a military
installation, allotments, telephone transfers, etc.
The World-Wide program includes all the features of the so-called “military banks”: direct
paycheck deposit, telephone loan service, write your own loan program, overseas car financ
ing, automatic transfers from checking to savings (and visa versa), credit cards, overdraft
protection . . . plus personal service by senior bank officers with career military experience
and Aggie know-how.
Visit the Bank of A&M today (or some day of convenience) before your commissioning date to
learn how the Bank of A&M’s World-Wide Department can be of service to you.
