Colonel II. L. Boatner will begin his second year as PMS&T and
commandant this fall.
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!!!

t r i c a 1 Engineering Depart
ment, according to M. C.
Hughes, head of the depart
ment.

I structions here during the second

l ing. Denison received his BS from

Texas A&M.
David H. DeSutter, from Ham-
burg, Arkansas, is another of the
new instructors in electrical engi
neering. He received his BS from

Roy Hagood Weds
Fort Worth Girl
Miss Marian Emily Shepherd be
came the bride of Roy O. 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.

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.
