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.

have monopolized the Aggie ball
carrying.
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.
The second section bareback rid
ing entrants will be Roy Sngland,
Marian Daugherty, Jib Davenport,
Tom Winters, Charley Williams,

ber of contestants is the Double

in several inter-collegiate rodeos.
