present policy was upheld, that the
proceeds of the Cotton Ball be
shared equally between the Student
Activities Office and the Agronomy
Society. 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.

in the military department has suf
fered.
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.”
