A reel Aggie is one who conducts himself as a gentleman under all conditions and In all places. The people of the State of Texas expect more of Aggies than of the students of other institutions of the State. The studenU who attended the game in San Antonio conducted themselves as Would be expected of students wearing the A. k M. uniform.

I ^ On July 11, “The Battalion” previewed the proposed Great Issues course to be of fered at Dartmouth College this fall. For the benefit of thoee not in school at the time, here is a brief summary of that plan: Great Issues Is a three-hour course which is simply an analysis of contemporary na tional and international problem*. The first - hour is devoted to briefing the class in the problem of the week by a faculty member. A prominent guest of the college will lecture on that subject the next hour. Finally, the president of the college will lead the students in a “SOcratic dialogue" the last hour. Each student will have an opportunity to debate, ■diacuaa, and digest the thoughts presented in the preceding Jwo houre during the final MML IVxtbooks are to be copies of the New « ork "Herald Tribune" and “The New York Irm*”. Supplementary reading will be ob tained through the use of "Harper s ’, "The Atlantic Monthjv”, ^Foreign Affairs", and "Thd Aeturday Review of Literatim." Dr. John Mlnan Dickey, president of Dirtmouth College, feels that three objec tives will be fulfilled in a study of this ty|ie. Helf-lesrnlng is evident us s primary aim; lublic-mindedncaa. which ties in with the former, Is presented aa a second objective. The last serves to the students of Dartmouth College the curricula of departments other than their own- -to allow a liberal arts stu dent an inaight on the engineering student, • And vice-versa. ^ One of the outstanding points in favot of the course Ik its. place on the curricula of Bergman Fears Joan of Arc May Be Jinx MOt R» MON THOM AN J.YWriOD, The Nation Today _ A® Buses Take Over Streets Sert tnarkl Bergman. » trhlevlni her life'* As MacKenzie Sees It.... each student. The course "Great Issues” is to be required of ALL Dartmouth senior stu dents. Thus knowledge will at least be pre sented. If not absorbed, by all students at the college. At the time of writing, The BatUlion ad vocated that such a course be offered at A. & M College to all seniors, regardless of what their courses of study might be. It took the position that the days of the hermit have passed . a citizen of the United States is today a citizen of the world. There is no excuse for ignorance of national or in ternational affairs. No letters were received concerning the editorial . There was no audible discussion of the Great Issues course outside the Batt office. . Evidently a little learning can be a dangerous thing. tHowaver, members of The Battalion staff were encouraged this weekend by the action of one of the members of the board of directors, John W. Newton of Beaumont. During the |M»rtion of the board meeting devoted to genera) business, Mr. Newton in quired about our equivalent of the Great la- Nile* i-mtrse. When it was discovered that no aludy waa devoted to those important aub- jeon, he requested Dean of the College K, C, Holton to Investigate the |MHMlbillty of add ing auch a course to the curricula. Thun, wc can exjiect to see some action concerning a matter which Is of vital Interest to $11 of us, whsther we be engineers, agri culture students, or liberal arts students.
