WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1955
Too Many Teeth
The Academic Council has now passed an
official college regulation prohibiting the
wearing of letters from other schools on the
A&M campus.
The thought behind this is laudable—of
course letters from other schools shouldn’t
be worn by A&M students, but a college reg
ulation is not the way to persuade students
not to w'ear them.
The group that proposed the regulation
said it would “put teeth” in their request
not to wear them. Some teeth — although
no specific punishment was included in the
regulation, it is within the bounds of possi
bility that a student could be suspended for
wearing a letter too many times.
What happened to appealing personally
to the slim minority who persist in wearing
the letters, on the basis of the Aggie spirit,
tradition, or just plain common courtesy?
CCTA Endorses
Insurance Plan
For Teachers
The policy committee of the
College Classroom Teachers
association has unanimously
endorsed old age and survi
vors’ insurance coverage for
teachers in state colleges.
At a meeting attended recently
by C. H. Bernard and Melvin
S. Brooks, president and vice-pres
ident of the A&M CCTA chapter,
j the committee endorsed the plan
I because “it is becoming increas-
l ingly apparent that colleges which
j are not included in the plan will be
1 at a serious disadvantage, com
pared with those which are, in re
cruiting good quality personnel.”
The policy committee, which is
the governing body of the state
CCTA organization, also decided
“large increases in appropriations
for salaries of college employees
are necessary in order to narrow
the gap between Texas colleges
and colleges and universities which
are nationally recognized as top
flight in quality.”
Plans were made to encourage
favorable legislative action on
these proposals and on the recom
mendations of the Texas Commis
sion on Higher Education.
