Selecting the Winners of Who’s Who Awards
Thirty-one men were named to Who’s
Who at A&M Wednesday. Their selec-1
tion was the climax of several weeks in-
vfstigation, study, and comparison by the
Student Life Committee which every year
is charged with the responsibility of
choosing Who’s Who. ‘ 1
' Each man considered for the award—
and there were almost a hundred — was
jddged on his scholarship, leadership, par
ticipation in extra-curricular activities,
and popularity. '
Suggested candidates for Who’s Who
came to members of the Student Life
Committee from many sources. The ma
jority were subniitted by students, many
were from department heads and teach
ers, and quite a few came Jrom members
of the/college staff other than teachers.
Every man submitted, was considered.
Two special sub-committees handled
•all the Who’s Who nominee records until
they Were presented to Student Life. One
was composed of all non-military mem
bers of the Student Life Committee, arid
the other was made up of all the cadets on
* the committee.
Corps members of the sub-committee
Were the colonel of the corps, president of
f the Senior Class, president of the Junior
Class, a cadet student senator, and the
