. . then the pink card is turned, the white card with your name on it is given to the
clerk and he will give you a green card with your schedule, which you give to the Dean
and he will give you three blue cards. At this point you may begin registration if you’re
still serious about college.”
battalion editorials To Baton Rouge:
The Best Ever..? It’s 332 Miles
This year bears all the aspects of one of the best ever for
Texas A&M. Or it could fall disappointingly short of oppor
tunistic expectations.
Last year, the College underwent virtually wholesale re
visions. And these changes are now proven not only feasible,
but desireable.
However, the principal prerequisite to insure these
changes—and others to come—will add to the purpose of
Texas A&M is a sincere effort on the part of the administra
tion, faculty and students.
Take a look at some of the changes:
Reorganization of the Corps of Cadets, methods of han
dling freshmen and civilian appearal priviledges at night, to
name the major ones.
Yet Texas A&M perhaps resembles a roulette table. Just
picture the different factions of the College—students, facul
ty and administration—sitting around a table casting lots
on the various issues on campus. This isn’t a time for hap
hazard attitudes.
That isn’t the credo of an outstanding institution.
It shouldn’t be here either.

Late registering A&M stu
dents may find themselves
pressed for time in attempting
to make the grid opener with
Louisiana State University in
Baton Rouge.
About the shortest route that
can be taken is not too short. In
fact the whole journey will cover
332 miles.
The trip will carry the jour
neying Cadets out the eastern
eyd of the Lone Star State into
the swamps of the Cajun coun
try. However, travelers are
blessed with one of the best
highways in Louisiana.
A check with the Texas High
way Department shows perhaps
the best route to take is U. S.
190. If this route is to be taken
it would be prudent to plan on
at least six hours of driving.
The Highway Department also
disclosed that U. S. 190 is clear
of construction from Bryan to
the Louisiana line.
U. S. 190 goes through both
Bryan and Baton Rouge.
In Texas, the highway goes
from Bryan to North Zulch, to
Madisonville, to Huntsville, to
Pointblank, to Livingston, to
Woodville, to Jasper, to Newton
and to Bon Weir before entering
Louisiana.
In Louisiana, the route follows
to Merryville, to DeRidder, to
Reeves, to Kinder, to Elton, to
Eunice, to Opelousas, to Krotz
Springs, to Liviona and on into
Baton Rouge.
However, somewhat of a short
cut may be taken in Louisiana
by leaving U. S. 190 and taking
Louisiana State Highway 26
from DeRidder to Elton.
There the state highway inter
sects with U. S. 190.
Rifle Club
Registrations
You—Tomorrow and the Twin
City Junior Rifle Club are ac
cepting registration papers from
boys and girls, age 10 to 19, for
the nineteenth school of instruc
tion in marksmanship and gun
safety. Presently enrolled are:
May Amyx, Neil Anderson, Step
hen Henry, Barrl Knowles, Don
McCrory, Paul Madeley, Kenny

Plans are now under way, and
fund drives are being conducted
for the sixth annual Student
Conference on National Affairs.
The conference will be held in
the Memorial Student Center in
December. During the four-day
meeting, students from campus
es all over the United States,
Mexico and Canada will hear
speakers who are experts in
national affairs.
Money for the conference is
solicited solely by students from
business firms, foundations and
individuals throughout Texas
and Mexico. The latest tour
was made by five of the confer
ence officers through Mexico
soliciting funds and inviting
Mexican delegates to the con
ference.
Making the trip were Tom
Reid, chairman of SCONA VIj
Danny Deupree, vice-chairman;
John McMullen, co-chairman;
Clyde Whitwell, conference man
ager; and Charles Moore, finance
committee member.
While in Monterrey, the Ag
gies called on American and
Mexican businessmen, asking
their ’support for the conference.
They received approximately
$3000 which will be used to
bring Mexican delegates to the
conference.
Two students from the Mon
terrey Institute of Technology
and two from the University of
Nuevo Leon will attend SCONA.
The Aggies were also honored
guests at a luncheon meeting of
the Monterrey Rotary Club.
“Commodore” Carroll, public re
lations head of the Monterrey
Institute of Technology, told the
Rotarians the benefits of the
SCONA meetings and how they
helped relations between the two
countries.
SCONA V, held last year in
the MSC, saw delegates from 62
colleges and universities come to
hear speakers from many phases
of international relations. R. S.
S. Gunewardene, Ceylon’s am
bassador to the United States;
Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris, then
chief of Redstone Arsenal; How
ard Bowen, president of Grinnell
College; and William H. Law
rence, of the New York Times
Washington Bureau were among
last year’s speakers.
The. visiting students were al
lowed time to air their views on
national and international mat
ters in round tables held after
each talk.
Whitwell said most of" it had al
ready been promised or received
by the Finance Committee.
