REVIEWING STAND Directors Issue Statement On College Affairs STATEMENT The Board of Directors of the Former Students’ Association of the A. & M. College of Texas in meeting at College Station, Texas on April 1 and 2 issues the following statement in connection with ad- ministrative affairs of the College. This statement is unanimously approved by the thirty-one Directors present at this meeting from all sections of the state. “Endorsement was given to the letter addressed by the Executive Committee of the Association to the Board of Directors of the College on August 31, 1943 which said: “There is deep and widespread concern among A. & M. men over recent developments at the College. Taking cognizance of the situation, the Executive Committee of the Association of Former Students has met, with all members present, and fully considered this matter. The Committee feels it is its duty to address this communication Our concern is not with the to you. individuals involved, that responsibility being yours, but with the manner in which these developments came about. In our opinion the College has been needlessly harmed. You are now faced with the responsibility of electing a new president. The future possibilities of the College in the light of the present and post-war conditions make your selection at this time the most important task rectors of the College. ever to face any Board of Di- ‘We urge the Board to proceed most carefully and deliberately in its selection of a President. We suggest that the entire field of possibilities in the United States be surveyed and considered. Perhaps a general outline of the type, the training, and the background of the man you seek should be established and the man best matching that outline be selected. ! It is suggested that the people of Texas be advised of your general approach to this problem, that you reiterate your stated policy that this job is seeking the man, and that you emphasize the fact that you seek the very best man in the United States for this most important position. We urge that you proceed in such manner that no suspicion of personal favoritism, of political or other pressure, can exist. Barring an arbitrary, prolonged difference of opinion, we believe the: Board’s selection should be the unanimous choice of your members. We have no candidate for the position. We oppose no man for the position. The support of our new president and the plans and policies you lay down for the College, however, must depend to a con- siderable degree upon the Ex-students and friends of the institution. We believe that such a program of selection as we have suggested, if followed, would best achieve that whole- hearted support.” Subsequent developments have emphasized and corroborated that statement. Serious confusion exists in college affairs because of the lack of a clear-cut well-defined administrative policy and its con- sistent application. There is no clear understanding of the proper fields of authority and responsibility between college officers and the college board. Such conditions are not conducive to the best interests and welfare of the A. & M. College of Texas. We recognize the limitations of this Ex-students’ Board and its officers both as to authority and means in suggesting remedial measures or reforms for the improvement or corrections of these con- ditions. Yet, we believe it to be our duty and in the best interests of the College to insist that such suggestions be made b and unprejudiced authority. The Senate Educational Investigating Committee of the State Senate of Texas, and a duly appointed, non-partisan, fact-finding and recommending agency is now studying these matters. We urge this committee to continue with a full and thorough investigation of administrative affairs of the A. & M. College. We hope that from its investigation and study the Committee can and will make definite recommendations for the solution of the present problems and the prevention of their recurrence in the future.” The following Directors were present: A. F. Mitchell, ’09, Corsicana; Richard Carey, ’11, Beaumont; H. K. Deason, ’16, Port Arthur; Roy D. Golston, ’03, Tyler; John P. McCullough, 24, McKinney; Austin C. Bray, ’29, Dallas; James W.

ANNUAL MEETING— NO REUNIONS The Annual meeting of the As- sociation will be held at College on May 26, which is Commence- ment Day. Following last year’s policy and in line with National policies, Class Reunions have been deferred for the duration and the annual meeting will be strictly a business affair. It is hoped, how- ever, to have present a representa- tive number of Association mem- bers for the election of new Di- rectors and officers and for the transaction of other business of the Association. The Board also stated further, in connection with class reunions, that its policy was not an effort to dictate to the separate classes and the Secre- tary was instructed to assist any Class if that class wished to attempt a reunion this year. This was not considered likely in view of present travel difficulties. OTHER BUSINESS In addition to the long discus- sions preceding the above state- ment, the Board of Directors of the Association transacted many items of routine business of the organi- zation. Financial reports were presented and approved, as were other plans and routine organiza- tion matters. Reports of the several special committess were made by their respective chairmen, and approved. These included com- mittees working on Post War Em- ployment, Military Affairs, and Special Gifts to the College. The Military Affairs Committee and its program will be featured in the next issue of the AGGIE. The Muster Chairmen Make It Go Basis of the whole tradition of the annual Muster of A. & M. men on April 21, of course, is the deep loyalty and fine spirit of the fam- ily of A. & M. men. Helpful is the very interesting origin of the tradition, and the tremendous in- spiration added to that tradition by the famous Muster on Corre- gidor on April 21, 1942. But ma- chinery, and organization, and work and willingness on the part of hundreds of individual men is re- quired to make the event the great success it has become. Most of that work is done by Muster chair- men. To them we all owe a vote of thanks and a debt of gratitude. Without their good work the tra- dition would be only an idea, never translated into the meaningful event it has become. Give them a big hand ;those hundreds of A. & M. men who really make the An- nual Muster an inspiring, a plea- sant and helpful event. OHIO Cincinnati, J. P, J. Peutet ’17, 1227 Her- schel Woods Lane.

The most complete and far-flung Annual Muster of A. & M. men will be held on April 21st, as the 1940 Muster daily grows in living up to its slogan, THE 1940 MUSTER FOL- LOWS THE SUN. A check of the final muster announce- ments herein shows their wide distribution and number. Be- fore the date rolls around scores of additional gatherings will have been arranged and announced. Last year’s record-break- ing Muster has already been eclipsed, both in number of separate musters and in their wide range. : Latest Muster announcements have arrived from The Minneapolis, Minn., Henry Fowler, ’20, George Anderson, if the Sun doesn’t even reach this far.” One of the best over- seas meetings is being planned in Northhampton, England, though for security its chairmen will not be mentioned. Those in the area will no doubt recognize and identify through its APO number. Similar announcements are con- tinueing to roll in as the AGGIE goes to press. Plans for an international radio broadcast, sought by officers of the Association, have fallen through and no radio program will be devoted to this year’s program.’ 4 Palm Beach-Pahokee, V. C. Denton i . re - H. Parsons Jr., ’30, APO 702, will gather together, “Even it 58 STANDARD PROGRAM b, With the encouragement and ap- proval of last year’s Muster Chair- man,another standard muster pro- gram will be mailed each Chair- man for use at this year’s gather- ings. Due to mailing difficulties and slowness it cannot be sent to the scores of Musters that will be held over-seas. The standard pro- gram will require approximately K thirty minutes, leaving ample time for local features at each Muster. It is hoped to gradually perfect g and establish this common pro- = gram, to be followed by every Muster and™to become as tradition- al as the event and day itself. . A principal reason for the tre- mendous success of the Muster is the fine work and willingless of appointed and volunteer chairmen to take charge and make arrange- : ments. Ample time still remains = for volunteer chairmen and you 2 are urged to check the roll-call of = Musters herein. If none is an- nounced in your vicinity please volunteer and send a report of your meeting to the AGGIE. Scores of volunteer chairmen have already done so, particularly from over-seas points. Two or more Aggies are all that is required to hold a Muster, and the standard program outline will be gladly sent the chairman of every mus- ter that is known. RG. Columns could be written about the various features and types of meetings to be held this’ year. They range all the way from the National Capital Club’s dinner in Washington to an old-time barbe- cue on the banks of the river at San Marcos. Officers Clubs in many military posts will be the scene of Musters, one of the larg- est being planned at the Polo Club at Ft. Sill. Check the Muster an- nouncements and if definite details = are not included for your area give the Muster Chairman a call and he will advise. i THE 1944 MUSTER FOLLOWS THE SUN: Pa TAY i NEBRASKA Nid Lincoln, W.
