Cadets not present for the above meet ing who’ll not be permitted to participate In commissioning exercises at 1300 hours. Request above notice be published for a period of three days beginning Monday 21 May 1951. John F. Burris Major, USAF Adjutant Some Things Considered (Continued from Page 1) Each and every student will be an individual with hopes and dreams, capabilities and potential ities, and he will be treated as such. Every man will not be fed the same “dose,” as if what is offered here is a cure-for-all. He will get what he needs, tempered with what he wants. If he is an engineer, he will be able to take History 999 or English 777 as electives with ap proval and encouragement of his department and dean. Every student will be an individual, learning to live, not a human vacuum machine sucking up facts. And in this same era will come abolition of the true-false and matching-question quiz. Exams will be designed to stimulate thinking, not drag from the student a series of supposedly important facts which he painfully memorized. Profs will not be too lazy to grade such quizzes, and students will not fear or hate to take them. Peace may be with us then. Military will be secondary and scholarship and citizenship will be first and foremost. These things may all seem far away from “proper” closing re marks on my Battalion experiences, but they are the things which have been most in my mind, as reporter and editor. I believe in all sincerity that these things will one day be reality at A&M. I hope that I shall not discontinue to fight for them, wherever I may go from here. Looking back over The Bat talion these four years, I see a tremendous amount of building, a great amount of progress. Thanks is due to many for the strength and prestige of our present structure. The contributions can hardly be measured of all those students who have given faithfully of their time and energy to build The Battalion to what it is today. Neither can the tremendous contribution of Ro land Bing, manager of student pub lications, and silent hut guiding hand of all its progress these past several years. Others have contributed freely, willingly, understanding!^ Profs have been more than considerate, on more than one occasion. Un derstanding our problems, our de sire to do the best possible job, and knowing too well the inevitable conflict of trying to do two jobs at once, they have seen fit to be lenient. I wish to express my appre ciation, independently, and that of The Battalion staff, for the help and guidance we have re ceived. We hope our work— our contribution—has justified their faith and tolerance. Of course, it goes without saying that the major accomplishments of The Battalion, for Which Dave and I have received virtually all the credit, could not have been done without those faithful staff mem bers who have supported us. Many of them know and under stand our sincere feeling of appre ciation. Some do not. But I hope that most of them can feel as I do that none of our work has been in vain, however wasted it may have appeared from time to time. This year we added much to The Battalion, all by way of building on the foundation con structed by those who preceded us. We have managed to remain dai ly by shifting some of our emphasis to community coverage, thereby holding on to precious local adver tising. This has given the student reader a little less for his money each day, but he gets more than he would in a two-or-three-times-a- week paper. Publishing the largest paper in Battalion history in celebration of our 75th Anniversary year is a record we will hold at least until our successors attempt to beat it next year. Improvement of Battalion en graving facilities to the point that pictures of events may be publish ed the day following their happen ing, we do not hold as one of the least of our accomplishments. Nor do we look with shame on office and management improve- menis we have been successful in establishing. Keeping up with, or besting, larger and wealthier rivals in the college newspaper field has brought A&M recognition which we feel is valuable. Those are a few of the things we have done. I am proud of them and I know I echo the feel ings of others on the staff. We all hope that these improvements have benefitted you, our readers, wheth er you were conscious of them or not. I could go on reminiscing to you at great length, but I feel that these few reflections are enough to give you some indication that I leave my office with sincere grati tude for the opportunity to report the news for you, to submit my thinking to you through editorials, and more imoprtant, to grow and learn as I worked.
