The Committee was in agreement that in case the Cotton Pageant and Ball failed to show a return sufficient to support the Cotton Tour, that the Society pre sent a budget application for aid, in accordance with the policies set up by the Student Life Committee for aid to club programs. Chairman Rollins brought up the question for the Committees’ consideration of allowing holders of “T” Cards the special privilege of attendance at All College Dan ces by payment of tax. Following discussion this motion was made: Inasmuch as the first purpose of the All College Dance is entertain ment, and the second purpose is to support worthwhile programs of clubs and organizations on the campus through dance proceeds, no pass list for All College Dances shall be made. The passing of this motion completed the committee business. Westminster Fellowship To Meet Sunday Evening The Westminster Student Fel lowship of the A.&M.

Describing “maid service” at the request of Rep. Storey, Jones ran into difficulty over Aggie slang, and had to explain that freshman, fish, and maid were three words for the same individual. Jones tes tified that before “maid service” was abolished, he assisted 100 fish with their studies, doing the work of an unpaid tutor, as an obliga tion of an upper classman in return for the room cleaning. Because of the high student-to- teacher ratio, which makes it im possible for teachers to help indiv iduals as much as they should, it is necessary for upper-classmen to tutor freshmen, Jones stated. Pos sibly due to the war, many stu dents are being graduated from high schools who are not adequate ly prepared for college work. “Some of them still spell can’t ‘caint’,” Jones remarked. When these students flunk out, they of ten give hazing as the reason. Newton later praised that part of Jones’ testimony, saying, “I think Jones made a fine statement in regard to deficiency of students coming from high schools not up to standard. Furthermore, not every graduate of a high school is necessarily qualified to take up space and the taxpayers' money in an institution of higher learning.” Official Notices GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS Graduate Fellowships, one each in Me chanical Engineering and Civil Engineer ing, will be available under a plan estab lished by the Humble Oil and Refining Company.
