* h-. Recording; the ‘Spirit’ and the ‘War l Satur^^iy night we sat in Guion Hall and heard one of the most enjoyable con- c'erts presented on the campus this year. The Aggleland Orchestra and the Singing Cadets put on a one-hour-plus perform ance that drew enthusiastic applause and words Of praise from more than 1,000 persons who were in the audience. We wish everyone could have heard the concert, particularly the last two num- bersi As usual, Bill Turner and his musi- •cal groups closed, the fijhow with songs of Saturday those songs were “The Spirit of Aggieland” and the “Aggie War Hymn.” However, this time the orches tra and the Singing Cadets presented for the first time a new arrangement of each song.

One pf these trends, the deans report- 'ed, was that students registered in small -departments enjoy more satisfactory pro- , fessor-student relationships than students . .attending classes in large departments. •The personal factor enters the scene, and -v ’ it, is only good logic to realise that the Smaller the classes and the more classes "Sftended under one professor, the better acquainted students will beehme with ’ these jtrofessors, A closer nmn«to*man S i^ishlp is built up and the ituiwit fnes more than a name I in the grade to the professor of a small depart* . fprut, and (hr* professor becomes more than miothugYstumbling block to gradua* trag t*i .tnlrltudlnii' 1 : ; Working together with iiersonal in* ! tere«t in hairnlng and teaching is the foum dution stone for these reported good rela- tlonships enjoyed by students and profes- ' sora In all departments.

TU officials had requested a cavalry troop and had been turned down. They then turned their efforts- toward ob taining a field artillery outfit. Student opinion at forty acres was against ROTC. A two column headline in The Daily Texas said, “Student Disapproval Mounts Against Idea of Artillery Unit.” Austin YMCA and YWCA lead ers and several University church es also joined the student cam paign to discourage adoption of any ROTC units. A far-sighted' Battalion editor ialist in 1935 commented on ef forts of the National Student Peace Mobilisation organization to per suade American youth to refuse to participate In any form of mili tary training, While approving all effoitk to preserve peace among, nations of the world, the IDilly editor cautioned, ‘’Don't dissuade the young man of American from learning to carry • rifle or order a company, Willmut a defense we as a nation are lout, and the yottlh jnf America will have to i|o the iMfeuding if the time eomes," Official Notice rhUmMsy, AeriI ski. in lit* rt»»ilioi* for SaytnHiil nt (h* fund imealutiinii nf ivwi h»r Letters (All letten to the editor which are signed by a student or employee of the college and which do not contain ob- scene or libelous material will be pub lished.
