Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1951 A. New Grass Campaign By, For All Students /\NCE UPON a time a senior class worried about something besides whether you should say beat the hell, heck, or hades out of something. They stopped and looked around and saw that A&M was in truth a cow school with cowpaths run ning across the lawns like lines in a painting by Dali. They placed signs on the grass asking the students not to walk in the grass but to use sidewalks instead. The campaign met with a degree of success but the cowpaths are again ap pearing. Why doesn’t the STUDENT BODY do something about inaugurating another campaign to really make the grounds of the campus look beautiful ? If the student body, in popular election, through the Student Senate, or what have you would vote to make it a fineable offense to walk on the grass in un authorized areas, then perhaps the cowpaths would begin to disappear and be replaced by attractive lawns that one could be proud of. A Why wasn’t the campaign successful before? For one, it wasn’t a representative action of the students. The civil students thought it was the smart thing to do to show those Corps men that they couldn’t tell them what to do, and by a deft bit of pseudological reasoning, convinced themselves that the few minutes saved by cutting across the grass couldn’t hurt anything since there were so few of them walk ing across. Some of the seniors evidently walked on the grass to show that they were above the laws that govern ordinary mortals. For the underclassmen it became a sort of vicarious thrill to walk across the lawns and get away with it. None of the asinine reasons cited would hold up if the campaign became a concerted movement of the student body and not just some whim of some class, the Corps, or the civil ian students. With this concerted action on the part of the students, to do something for the school that they profess to have some deep feeling for, A&M could show the state and the country a truly beautiful campus. A Means For Bettering Student-Faculty Relations TI/IUCH HAS been said about bettering student-faculty re- lations but little has been done. A step in the right di rection has been made by the House Committee of the MSC but this has only been a step. Both factions are going to have to be desirous of better ing the relations for any plan to work. How can the faculty be interested in the students as individuals when they oftimes aren’t encouraged to feel as if they are a part of the school? Not only are they not encouraged to feel a part of A&M but there almost seems to be plans to discourage them from nurturing any such ambitious plans in their breasts. A good example of this is on the football tickets. Mem bers of the faculty are shown little if any preference over people not connected Adth the college in any way. Almost anyone in the Bryan-College Station area has just as good a chance of getting football tickets as a faculty member. When a person is treated as an otusider then how else can he feel? Following the same line of thought, if the fac ulty member feels that he is an outsider then any effort on the student’s part to improve the relationships has much less chance of being successful and even oftimes prove abor tive. If the faculty takes an interest in the students and there by "finds that they are individuals and not just a class card, then the student has a very good chance, in the process, of finding that the prof is also an individual and worth knowing. As it was said, the coffees of the House Committee are a step, and a nice one, in the right direction but they can’t do the job alone. To really do the job it will take a little under standing and a lot of effort on the part of both the students and the faculty.

Rambling Robert is the least ex pendable article on the team when the Cadets start running into really tough opposition. The tough er the opposition gets, the tougher Smith will get. Aggie trainer Bill Dayton said the entire Aggie squad would be ready to go when the two teams square off on Kyle Field. Billy Tidwell, injured in the UCLA game and held out of the Texas Tech tilt, tvill be at full power. He has been working out like a frisky colt this week and said he was “raring to go.” Coach Bud Wilkinson will send his “Big Red” line to face the Aggie forward wall. All-American tackle and Co-captain of the Soon- ers Jim Weatherall will be the bulwark of OU’s line with his 230 pounds and 6’ 4” frame. The other captain along with Weatherall is Bert Clark, a senior from Wichita Falls. He’s one of the most versatile men on the team, and a good blocker. Sooner backmen will be led by their tricky right half, Billy Ves sels, who scored two touchdowns against A&M last year with sprints of 26 and 32 yards. Vessels will again be Coach Wilkinson’s big gun in the attack. Pre-game ceremonies will be highlighed by a welcome greet ing given by Eric Carlson, Cadet Colonel of the Corps, to approx imately 100 cadets from nearby Bryan Air Force Base who will be guests of Texas A&M for the Ag- gie-Oklahoma contest. The Allied Nations from Nor way, Belgium and The Netherlands are in advanced single engine train ing. They comprise the first class in training at Bryan AFB. Prior to the night-time battle, the cadets will march on the field, accompanied by their tactical of ficer, and will be introduced to the crowd. The last time the Aggie de feated Oklahoma was in 1945 when they tripped them 19-14 for one of their four wins in the 11 game ser ies which began back in 1903. Un less the Sooners are rescheduled for 1954 or soon thereafter this will be the last game in the ser ies. The game, from all indications, will be a sellout with temporary boxes upping the seating capacity to 40,000. James Ferguson, and Bill Green.
