Lesser Sports Seek College Sanction, Aid

A Student Committee for the Over 900 students participate in Recognition of Minor Sports was I the lesser sports, leaving less than organized Monday evening in a, $1 per student in club aid. Ex­meeting called by Russel K. Wei- der, wrestling and fencing coach.

Each of the nine lesser sports, including wrestling, weight lifting, soccer, pistol team, rifle team, gymnastics, 'fencing, bowling and badminton were represented, and from the group a chairman, assist­ant chairman and secretary were elected to the Committee.

Chairman is Nicky McDonald, vice-chairman is Butch Alcorn, and secretary is Johnny Herrin.

PurposeThe purpose of the Committee

is to get the college to aid and sanction the lesser sports, or if not aid, just sanction them that they might participate in national meets.

Other advantages would be ob­taining a regular sports sweater instead of a club letter. Present club aid is obtained from the Me­morial Student Center, and amounts to $500, according to Her­ring, secretary of the Committee.

penses like gas, trips and other expenses could be much easier met with college aid, according to Her­rin.

To SucceedA series of steps to get the col­

lege to sanction the lesser sports organization will be taken, begin­ning with a joint meeting with the Athletic Council.

The Committee also wants to get the support of the Former Stu­dents Assn.

Officers elected will be the spokesmen for the club; they will meet with the nine representatives from the lesser sports clubs, and obtain requests from the individ­ual clubs.

This information will be organ­ized and taken to the Athletic Council or elsewhere.

The Lesser Clubs organization will meet every Monday at 5 p.m. in Room 202, the visual aids room, in G. Rollie White Coliseum.

BORDEN AWARD

Exchange Student Wins YM AwardMd. Abdus Salam Mia, an intercollege exchange student

from East Pakistan, has been presented the Borden Award in Veterinary Medicine. Dr. A. A. Price, Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, presented the award to Mia at the regular meeting of the Student-*--------------------------- —------------Chapter of the AVMA Tuesday.

Under the original plan of train­ing Mia was to have taken two yearg of specialized training here under the intercollege exchange program with the University of Dacca. His work was so outstand­ing that his program was • extend­ed to allow him to complete study for the Doctor of Veterinary Med­icine degree. He will receive the DVM degree in May.

The Borden Award is made available by the Borden Founda­

tion and is awarded to the senior student in veterinary medicine who has attained the highest average grade during the preceding three years in the professional curricu­lum in veterinary medicine.

Upon his return to East Paki­stan, Mia will become a faculty member of the East Pakistan Vet­erinary College at Mymensingh.

mon operating procedures and ar­range regular drill periods when the hams’ personal stations will be mobilized under simulated emer­gency conditions. His duties also include liaison planning with the local chapter of the American Red Cross and other relief agencies, as suggested in the working under­standing the ARRL Emergency Corps has with the national head­quarters of the American Red Cross and other agencies. Liaison will be established also with local protective services, such as fire and police departments and ciyil defense communications will re­ceive much attention.

In announcing the appointment,

Handy pointed out that radio ama­teurs have traditionally had the responsibility of being in constant readiness to offer assistance in time of need with ham-acquired skill, emergency-powered trans­mitters and a wealth of commun­ity spirit. “When sleet storms dis­rupt telephone and telegraph serv­ice, or floods isolate whole com­munities,” the League’s Communi­cations Manager said, “it is ama­teur radio that comes to the res­cue with operators and self-pow­ered equipment, often as the sole agency able to transmit messages calling on the outside world for aid for the stricken community.

SALOON GIRLS?

Costumes Causing Major ProblemsHow would anyone ever possibly guess that saloon girls

could cause a modern day brawl. Just two weeks ago when Mrs. Ermine Worrell, director of the A&M Consolidated Speech Department, announced the cast for the upcomingplay, “Aaron Slick from Punkin-*-------------------------------------------Crick,” two of the cast helpers,

Aaron Slick’s Barroom Belles... In Consolidated Play

Wallace Ann Chamblee and Mary Ann Franklin, had no earthly idea where they might find some 1850- 1800 saloon costumes.

Endless hours were spent tele­phoning local residents and rum­maging through musty trunks for a lead, but alas, no costumes were to- be found. One of the boys at Consolidated even volunteered his grandmother, an ex-saloon dancer, to help the girls on dress matter. However, after writing her, she replied that the saloon gowns were now the property of her home town museum.

One week to the deadline and the girls were beginning to think about getting last summer’s bi­kini’s and sewing feathers on them. Calling C. K. Esten for a suggestion, he quickly replied— when asked if he knew where any

saloon girls’ costimes could be lo­cated—“I don’t know any saloon girls. If I did I might be able to steal their costumes.”

Last week out of a muddy hori­zon, Barbara Cook and Lila Wells, Bryanites, were contacted and vol­unteered their costumes that they they used last summer for the pro­duction of Oklahoma.

You can well imagine the sur­prise Mary Anne and Wallace Ann felt when they could barely squeeze into their costumes. But with the help of miracle reducing pills, several thousand push-ups and meals of dried raisins—vic­tory.

The play will be held in the school cafeteria tomorrow and Fri­day at 8 p.m. Tickets sold in ad­vance will go for 50 cents, while ducats at the door will sell for 75 cents.
