As asked of Andrews: Q. Based on experience both before and after the war, did you ever experience on the campus a spirit of pride and friendliness? A. Before the war, yes, and we carried it right into the army. Q. Is there a spirit of dissatis faction on the campus now? A. The greatest I have ever known. Ed Hughes, another Aggie-ex committeeman, asked: Q. If the six questions were ans wered satisfactorily, would you want to keep the administration? A. We would not be satisfied to keep the present administration under any circumstances. Queried on Housing Sen. George A. Moffett asked Andrews: Q. Isn’t it natural for large numbers of troops to be always grousing about something? A. Morale in the army isn’t so bad as at A. & M. Q. Don’t you think more and better housing would create a much better spirit on the campus? A. No sir, I do not. Q. I have the impression that the veterans are principally dis satisfied with the administration. Is that your principal gripe? A. Our principal target is to get rid of the president. Gestapo In a long, carefully prepared speech, Andrews stated the dissat isfaction of the veterans, without mentioning the six questions What’s Cooking THURSDAY, April 10 7:30 p.m.—Communication and electronic personnel of Naval Re serve meets on second floor Pfeuf- fer Hall. 7:30 p.m.—Laredo A.&M.

He charged that during the pres ent administration, the Blue Star has been lost by the corps, the Chemical Engineering course has been removed from the “recogniz ed schools” list; the Veterinary Medicine school is skidding in rat ing, and the faculty has resigned itself to the ‘present unfortunat situation.” He charged the school was crea ting a system of “gestapo” spies, squealers and stooges, as a result of which fear and distrust has been bred on the campus. The Dean of Men’s office has been told to find out everything the boys say in the dormitories, Andrews stated.
