SMITH NOT CLEAR ’
Editor, The Battaliop:
I have just finished reading your
article about not having a midnight
yell practice in Houston. It has
left me confused, and I am writing
this in hope of obtaining more
knowledge about it. . i
While I am sure Mr. George
Smith has the best interests of
A&M at heart, I do not unde
■•ft
stand this part of his letter,
•is believed that such a meeting
Would only serve to arouse possible
acts of violence by persorfSt not con
nected with either institution (Rice
or A&M).”
If neither persons from Rice
nor A&M are going to commit acts
of violence, why are we held re
sponsible for such acts? Does the
mere fact that the Aggies are in
town mean we are responsible
for any acts of violence that may
be committed. I don’t understand
this.
Again Mr,* Smith indicated,
“ . i. that Houston officials wi
refuse to grant any permi
the corps to conduct i > mid:
yell practice anywhere in the <ji
Again I do not undersiand
from the fact that our qoftstitutiion
says tho freedom of assembly ah
not be abridged, I do not un‘
stand why it would b« all r_
to have yell practice irt the day.
The only reason I can see is, for
some odd reason, there will be no
acts of violence in the daytinie so
naturally we won’t be rt 8 I )on 9rt>le
for them.
I n
Your article said the letter was
read to a “representative group.”
I looked up a member of this
group and he said they Were asked
to vote' on whether or not they
wanted to accept Mr. 3mith’s lat
ter. Your article failed to | men
tion this.
! l I 1 !
If Houston is not going to give
us permission to have a midnight
yell practice, where is there any-
question as to whether Dr not we
want to have one? If there is a
question, why can’t the student
body vote on it? They are the
most representative group I know
J ■ 11 (
Bill Stephenson ’48
(Editor’s Note—The main Argu
ment voiced by Smith op midnight
yell practice is not that we or
Rice be the victims oF violence.
Both schools have reasonable con
trol of the students in any'situa
tion which might develop. However,
it is very difficult to control the
actions of non-students who might
“jump” students after a yell prac
tice. -I
(The question put before , the
group which met in Dean Penber-
thy's office, as ,we remember it,
was this: “Do you believe the stu
dents would prefer a Saturday
morning yell practice to no yell
practice at all?" That is the ques
tion we voted on anyway.
(In view of the copstern*tion
which the meeting caused we agreed
that it would have been a good
idea to put before the student body
the question, “Do yoi^ want no
yell practice before the Rice game''
PAST REMEMBERED
I i ’ . ■
litor, ; The Battalion;
I have always enjoyed midnight
II practice preceding a confer
ee game, but one being held in
quston the night before the game
iculd be forbidden.
In 1939 or 1940 a similar yell
ractice was held at the Rice Hotel,
y sortie sheer, fate out of nowhere
fracas developed resulting in sev-
1 Aggies being injured. The
ouston police department had to
p in and use tear gas both on
>ystanders and Aggies alike.
So any unannounced “clustering
'bunches" would surely have the
^ime outcome at that hour.
Houston like any other over-
i frown i “country toAm” has its un
desirables which have to be dealt
rtth accordingly. Lets ikeep on
»p” that Aggie spontaneous en-
husiasm till we get out to Rice
Stadium Saturday afternoon.

city council and Mayor Oscar Hol
combe.
Penborthy Willing to Help j
Penberthy said he would be glad
to do that, and asked that one or
all of; the group come to his office
this morning to talk by phone
with Smltlt i >
“I reserve the right,’’ Penberthy
said, "to express my personal
opinion concerning midnight yell
practice if the Houston officials
wantj to hear It.”
He said that he would also con
tact President Bolton so that he
could assure himself that his ob
jections to midnight yell practice
were! in line with college policy.
Penberthy continued by saying 1
he hoped that “we can get rid of
the attitude that if a yell practice
is not authorized that we’ll have
one anyway.”
“To me,” he concluded, “to go
down! there and hold an unauthor
ized yell practice is much the same
as going into somebody’s home as
a guest and doing the very things
the host has asked not be done."
Byington said that he and the
comrtiittee wanted to go to Hous
ton to talk with the city council
to find out if there was any way
possible whereby a midnight yell
practice could be arranged.

Wildlife Dept Asks
For Game Species
Local hunters are asked to turn
in game specimen parts and other
hunting information ,to the Texas
Cooperative Wildlife, Unit located
on the campus, said Dr. George A.
Petrides, unit leader.
Dr. Petrides asks hunters to turn
in to his office one wing from
each quail and dove killed and the
outer six or eight inches of the
first feather on the right wing of
wild turkey.
He said that he is also interested
in obtaining the left front leg of
female squirrels and the right
front leg of male squirrels.
Each specimen should be labeled
to show the date and county where
it was killed, the number killed,
and how many times each species
was hunted, Dr. Petridge said. ' >
According to Dr. Petrides, from
these parts the age and sex of
spfeciments can be determined.
This information is used to de
termine the relative value of young
birds to the hunter, the months of
important nesting, and the extent
of carry over of adults from last
year.
