dent of the College will, under
these Rules and Regulations,
prescribe the duties of the
Director of Athletics, in addi

group relieved Coach Norton of
his present assignment as Ath

NORTON’S STATEMENT
Norton said to the Batta
lion last night:
“For the past thirteen years
I have enjoyed my work at
Texas A & M. I have enjoyed
working for and with the ad
ministration, board, student
body, athletes, and by far the
majority of the former stu
dents. So long as I am coach
ing here the uppermost thing
in my mind will be to keep
our football team in the nation
al spotlight.
“I would like to thank the
press and all those concerned
who have contributed to our
success in the past. Would
also like to thank the many
former students and my
friends who have written, wir
ed and telephoned expressing
confidence. My aims will be
another championship for
A. & M.”
now carried in his contract.
This action on the part of the
Board was the result of the re
commendation made by the Athle
tic Council on February 1 in which
the Council stated that after long
and careful deliberation and ex
tended conferences with Coach
Homer Norton that it had “agreed
that it is to the best interests of
Mr. Norton and the A. & M. College
of Texas that his services as Head
Coach and Athletic Director be
terminated at the earliest practi
cable date.” The Council further
stated that under his contract Mr.
Norton was due some compensation
and it was recommended that the
Board of Directors attempt to
reach a financial settlement with
him.
Attorney General Says “No”

the Board of Directors discussed

this matter with Mr. Norton and
with the Athletic Council and in
structed the President of the Col
lege to ascertain from the Attorn
ey General whether it could legally
make a settlement with Mr. Nor
ton on his contract. The Attorney
General ruled that the Board of
Directors “cannot settle its con
tract with Mr. Norton by paying
him any sum of money in addition
to that which he has earned there
under.”
After this ruling from the Attor
ney General, the Athletic Council
recommended through the Presi
dent of the College to the Board
that an Athletic Director for in
tercollegiate athletics be appoint
ed and that Mr. Norton be relieved
of his duties as Athletic Director
and be assigned as Head Football
Coach. This recommendation ne
cessitated the amendment to the
Rules and Regulations of the Col
lege given above.

dent of the Board of Directors,
stated that this action in regard
to the athletic situation at the
A. & M. College of Texas was
reached after complete and friendly
discussion on the part of the

of the College, Mr. Norton, and
the Athletic Council, and that the

Civil Service Rules, Effective May 1,
Broaden Policies for Adminstration
The Regional Office of the Civil
Service Commission in Dallas an
nounced today that the President
has signed an executive order
which completely revises the Civil
Service rules. The rules will be
come effective May 1, and will
supersede the temporary Civil Ser
vice Regulations.
Commission under authority of the
rules, each group numbered and
titled to correspond with the re
gulation to which it relates.
The regulations state that a per
son selected for other than tem
porary appointment shall be given
a probationary appointment; the
first year of service under this
appointment shall be a probation
ary period; the agency shall termi
nate the appointee’s services dur
ing this period if he fails to de
monstrate fully his qualifications
for continued Federal employment
Applicants may be denied exam
ination, and eligibles may be de
nied appointment, for any one of
certain reasons which are set forth
m the regulations.
The new rules consist of broad
policies for the administration of
the Civil Service Act and the Vet
erans’ Preference Act. They dele
gate to the Commission authority
to issue regulations to carry out
those policies.
The main features of the Execu
tive are:
(1) It defines the responsibili
ties of the Civil Service Commis
sion, the agencies, and the Federal
Personnel Council.
(2) Existing rules, regulations,
and executive orders have been re
organized and consolidated. Fifty-
four executive orders, some dated
as early as 1904, have been revoked
either because they aer obsolete or
because they have been incorporat
ed into the rules and regulations.
(3) The best and most success
ful policies developed during the
war period have been continued.
For example, the policy of delegat
ing authority to act in individual
personnel matters to the agencies,
subject to post-audit and inspection
by the commission, has been con
tinued.
(4) The sixteen separate rules
that existed before the war have
been consolidated into six.
Detailed regulations supplement
the six rules. These regulations
are issued by the Civil Service
