At the last meeting of the Student Welfare Committee it was
proposed that non-military students be moved to a separate hall. That
is, students not taking military science because of physical deficiency
and juniors and seniors not having contracts would be requested to
leave their organizations and move to a separate dormitory.
There are many viewpoints to take in considering this question
honestly. In the first place, the disciplining of these cadets removed
from the ordered organizations would be a problem. Should they re-
main in their respective organizations, they would willingly submit to
the will of their captains. The new dormitory would in all probability
require a house master, whose job would be no pleasant one. The men
“ousted” would react in a natural way. They would consider them-
selves “outsiders,” and resort to the practice of causing disturbances
as an underhanded means of demonstrating a feeling of resentment
that will perforce be present. Of course there is no definite assurance
that such will be the case, but the conjecture is a reasonably safe one.
Cadets will gladly follow the leadership of their captains. A house mas-
ter will be an added expense to drain our already insufficient funds.
There is the personal aspect. A boy who comes up to A and M
and makes his friends for the space of two years—friends he has come
to enjoy being near—then is placed in another hall with boys he knows
little or nothing of is naturally going to feel that he has been cheated
of something, and in truth he will have been. It is the right of every
boy attending A and M to receive equal consideration in housing fa-
cilities. When selections must be made, the only proper way to do it is
on the basis of scholastic standing. If he fails one two-hours course he
is not apt to be relegated to the band of “foreign legionaires” in the
non-military hall. Yet that is exactly what would happen should the
college install this system. A failure in military science would mean no
contract and perforce isolation. The deciding factor would therefore be
one course, and an unjust factor it would be. When one fails freshman
English he is not banished from his organization. When one has a lame
leg and can not take physical education he is not tossed out. Why,
then, should he be forced to leave his friends when he either fails
military science or can not take it because of physical defects? There
is no tangible reason.
The other side of the question. The “sword of Damocles” of isolation
would hang over every man’s head as he took his military courses and
attended to his military matters, therefore producing a greater effi-
ciency in those matters because of more time put in on them. It would
aid the militarization of the college. But. At the cost of something else.
Your history professor can not walk into your personal life and threaten
your right of dwelling in the dormitory with your friends if you do not
" pass his couse. Then why should any other have this high handed
power ? Send any reasons to THE BATTALION and they will be given
space under Student Forum.

Your doctor can hear your heart beat more clearly today than ever before —
with Western Electric’s new Electrical Stethoscope.
Not much bigger than the doctor’s “little black bag,” this amazing instrument
amplifies heart sounds up to 100 times the intensity obtained with an ordinary
stethoscope. It also isolates and accentuates hard-to-hear murmurs —makes
diagnosis easier.
The Electrical Stethoscope is closely related to your telephone — Western
Electric’s best known product. It was developed by Bell Telephone Laboratories
as a scientific contribution to the medical world, which welcomed it warmly.
