The School of Military Science and Tactics extends a warm and genuine welcome to the class of ’53. We hope to play our part in trying to make it the best class ever to graduate from A.M.C. We believe our predecessors in the Military Department of this College have exerted a great influence in making the traditional A&M Cadet a man of force, character, integrity, initiative and perseverance. We intend within our respon sibilities to exert ourselves to the utmost in maintaining that same mold for casting you into a successful graduate. We believe in the well balanced cadet—spiritually, men tally and physically. That requires a balanced effort on your part academically, athletically and militarily, and ap propriate participation in campus activities. It requires constant effort on your part. You are “the door”, “the learner”. We are the teacher, the counselor and keep the record you make. Your freshman year here will not be easy. Being a freshman requires many adjustments by the average High School graduate. Here, a freshman must combine the ad justments of both an academic freshman and cadet, a new type of life away from your home environment. It requires development and emphasis on individual desirable traits of character. It will not be easy, and we all know it for we have all been through it ourselves. We will watch your efforts with interest, confidence and sympathetic understanding. All members of the Military Department will be very happy to help any one of you individually with your problems and difficulties anywhere, any time. Come to us soon enough so we can be of help. . Pull together with your classmates and the College in your efforts to make yours the best class in A.M.C. history. Best of luck!!! H. L.

OOO The Launderette South Gate College Station “Conveniently Located” Regular Corps Drill Planned; Sophs To Get Branch Training Sweeping revisions of military science class schedules were announced today by the Military Department. Subject matter, specialization, hours of presentation and drill periods are included in a newly revamped program of cadet study.

Hagood in Fort Worth last Saturday. Hagood is a senior Dairy Man agement major and lived in Dorm 16 last semester. He and his bride will live at 414 Coulter in Bryan until Hagood completes his degree here in Jan uary. Willy F. Bohlmann, Jr. has been named colonel in command of the sixth regiment for 1949- 1950. Bohlmann is majoring in civil engineering. Bohlmann was first sergeant of B Veteran Company last year. Difficult to Give Facial Description FORT WORTH, Tex., <#>—The police identification bureau re ceived a letter from the Twin Falls, Idaho police department in which it was asked if the depart ment here held a record on a wo man suspected of passing bogus checks. The woman’s description as to age, weight and height, was given, and then the letter abruptly stat ed: “She wore a low-cut dress with a short skirt, making it very hard to gain a description of her facial features.” Most startling change is a re duction in the number of military science theory classes. Instead of meeting for theory classes three times a week, cadets will meet only twice a week. This will eliminate many of the Saturday and Wed nesday morning theory classes. The one hour thus gained as a result of dropping the theory class will be devoted to a special drill period in which the entire corps will participate every Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. This hour will be spent in drill ing by five of the six corps regi ments. The remaining regiment will use the hour for a regimental review. Sophomores Specialize . Together with the announcement of class schedule changes camp word that sophomores will begin taking specialized branch training during their second year instead of waiting until their junior years. This departure from the proced ure followed in recent years is a result of a decision reached by ther Army and Air Force Depart ments. Freshmen will also feel the re sult of changes in military science schedules. Three Annex Battalions Three battalions of freshmen cadets will be formed this year. One will drill on Tuesday after noon from 4 to 5, another will drill during the same hours on Wednesday. The remaining bat talion will drill on Thursday after noon from 4 to 5. For cadets on the campus the innauguration of the regular drill period will eliminate conflicts which, in the past, have occured with intramural games and other campus activities. Cooperation with the military department by other departments on the college has resulted in an agreement that no classes will be scheduled to con flict with the new 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday drill hour. the famous Model T The Collegiate Shoppe Bryan
