A&M received two “boosts” through
out the state yesterday. One was an indi
cation of the college’? .ability to undertake
U difficult job and get good results. The
other was recognitiion of that ability. ’
. The Texas Agriculture Federation yes
terday turned to A&M in recommending
1 a substitute proposal to rjeplace the Bran-
nan. Plan. Included among several, sug
gestions offered' in the substitute plan
was a recommendation for expansion of
A&M’s domestic and foreign trade train
ing. Since the stdry moved on the wire
A late last night we haven’t had an oppor-
j: tuhity to fully investigate the extent of
that sort of training offered at the col
lege. However, the spontaneous inclina
tion of this farm and raiich group to turn
tb A&M for help in solving its problems
is encouraging. It indicates tliat we are
continually strengthening our
ahlong the people of the state.
Another example of this growing de
pendence on A&M also came in on yes
terday’s AP wire). Fred Weick, director'
of light plane research for the college, de
scribed the latest) product of his agency
to 400 persons Attending the National

Agricultural
hand-built, low Wing plane developed es
pecially for the r ation’s farmers. A story
oh Weick’s repor; is on today’s front page.
Less recent t ut just hs important ex
amples of this trend toward recognition
of A&M include the Deti. 10 editorial in
the Dallas Momiag News. The News com
plimented the Agricultural Experiment
Station and Extension Service for their
work in improving the liht yield of cotton
grown in Texas.

A feature story on A&M’s a -chitect-
mayor, Ernest Langford, was als< carried
in the News, giving the people of the state
a good picture of the type of citiz ens who
teach at A&M. ! 1 |

All these things are good for the col-
i lege. They help jbuild a better ard better
reputation for A&M throughout t legate.
-However, the best reporting in tl lejBP’ld
cannot ceate good news. Construe tfvilfro-
grams, far-sighted research, and pr
sive experimentation must first t e under
taken. Such things are done at Ai! ikf. And,

doesn’t do a bad job. Some sample de

milk them both, use all the milk you need

A Freshman Editorial
4‘First’for the Class of’53? . . .
Members of the class of ’53 have an opportunity to set
: a real class record this week.
Yesterday, all eyes were focused on early reports from
the Student Senate’s first annual Campus Chest drive which
got underway Monday with a goal of $4,000 to be collected
by tomorrow night;
Reports in yesterday’s Battalion show that A Trans
portation Corps now holds the record with a contribution of
$1 each from its 43 members. The Campus Chest goal is
$1 per man which gives A Transportation a 100% record.
I Each man at the Annex will be contacted personally be
tween now and tomorrow night and be given an opportunity
to help the class of '53 set a record in Campus Chest contri
butions, . n 1 ■ r ■
In addition, a film will be shown at the Rlvoli tomor
row night with all proceeds going to the Chest fund. Here
again is an opportunity for a “first” from the Class of *53,
CT Q. will be suspended for the showing. '
That goal again is $1 per man. One hundred per cent
participation from the class of ’53 will set a record that will
be almost impossible for future organizations to top.

THE CORPS DISSOLVED
Editor, The Battalion:
U Being very ill at ease with the
rumors which have been going
around concerning the dissolving
of the A&M Corps of Cadets, we,
would like to express our view
points on this situation.
We sincerely believe that if the
A&M Corps of Cadets were dis
solved, the very principles upon
which A&M College was founded
would be dissolved with it. We
are almost positive that nine out
of every- ten boys choose A&M
College as their college only be
cause of the Cadet Corps.
Every cadet is proud of the
Corps—the only one in its class
this side of the Mississippi River.
What else would constitute the
vivid color in A&M’s history if not
the Cadet Corps ? What else makes
A&M' better than other colleges
if not the Cadet Corps.
We all believe, therefore, that
the question of whether or not the
Corps should be dissolved is ab
surd and should be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Glenn Pennington ’53
G.ene Sparks 'SB '
Jose A. Olivares *53
James E. Richardson ’53
Lewis W. Patrick ’53 ,
(Editor’s Note—We questioned
several members of the admin
istration about the rumor you
reported. They gave us the as
surance that no proposal for
dissolving the cadet corps is be
ing considered, nor has such a
•< motion ever been entertained.
(We agreed with you that
such a measure would do much
to lower the esteem in which
ARM is now held by so many
people and we sincerely hope
that dissolution of the corps will
never be considered.)
T-LEAVES
Editor. The Battalion:
I would like to call your atten
tion to the article “T-Leaves”, that
appeared in the March 3rd edi
tion of the Daily Texan.
As far as any of ns are con
cerned, wc h?ve yet to read an
article in the Battalian to ridicule
any other school to this extent.
As in our case, other boys had
similar articles sent to them by
their girls up at TU and the
girls expressj their feeling by sayr
ing they didn’t like the article
either. j . t:l
One line,
iiat opened our eyey
the Aggies,
tb the jeolousy that TU has fof
is as quoted below:
Bible Verse
Let us hear the conclusion of
the whole matter: Fear God, and
keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man.
