Seating job Good,
Bu t Work Rema ins
TiHE PROPOSED plan of seating as advanced by the Stu-
dent Senate Seating Committee is the best that has been
suggested in a long time and considering the short period
of time that they had to work in, is exceptionally good.
However, many of the non-military students feel that
they are being unfairly discriminated against even with
the proposed change. There is merit in their argument, unless
we want to do away with one of the finest traditions that
A&M has. That tradition is that once an Aggie, always an
Aggie and, the overlapping tradition that a man is an Aggie
regardless of whether he be rich or poor, whether he is
from the so called upper or lower stratums of society.
Even a strict interpretation of the above bears out the
fact that a 1 man is an Aggie regardless of whether he wears
a Corps uniform, sports clothes, or levis.
The plan, as it stands, could almost be construed, by an
outsider, to be an arrangement for the seating of two separ
ate student bodies. Why can’t the non-military students be
allowed to sit with their fellow Aggies who are in the Corps ?
If the non-military students are to be considered Aggies,
and how can they be considered anything else, then they
should have the right to sit with their friends and class
mates anywhere with their class’s section.
Since the Student Senate Seating Arrangement Com
mittee has emphasized that the proposed plan is anything
but permanent, then it behooves every Aggie to inform his
Student Senator as to his feelings on the matter so that at
the next Senate meeting the Senator can help send the prob
lem back into committee for further investigation and re
vision.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Non-Corps Seating
‘Seating Fair’ ‘Seating Unfair’
UN Birthday Quiet
YESTERDAY MARKED the sixth birthday of the United
Nations. With the exception of small gatherings through
out the world, there was little to indicate that this day was
any different from 364 other days.
In the six years of existence the United Nations has
accomplished tremendous things even though the short his
tory is also studded with failures.
Nearly all of us are acquainted with the failures but we
pass over lightly the accomplishments. There are such things
as the establishment of the United States of Indonesia and
the removal of Russian troops from northern Iran to cite
only two.
In many instances the UN has failed on questions it is
true but even with that we are making progress. Mistakes
will without a doubt be made again but with every mistake
a lesson is being learned and thereby lessening the chance
of the same mistake being made again.
It behooves every individual of the world regardless of
race, color, creed, or nationality to become intimately ac
quainted with the workings and proceedings of the UN for
as the UN goes so goes the peace of the world. What makes
it doubly important is the fact that the success or failure of
the UN will not only affect the peace of our time and gene
ration but the peace and happiness of our children and our
children’s children.
On this, the first day of the seventh year of the UN’s
existence, we should pledge ourselves to redouble our ef
forts toward making the UN into an organization that is
truly an organization of the peoples of the world with ob
jectives of peace, security, and the destruction of ignorance,
intolerance, and injustice.
Personally, we read with regret
about the unfortunate hunters shot
in the bushes by their careless
brethren in arms.

The Battalion, official newspaper of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of
Texes, is published by students five times a week during the regular school year.
During the summer terms, The Battalion is published four times a week, and during
examination and vacation periods, twice a week. Days of publication are Monday
through Friday for the regular school year, Tuesday through Friday during the summer
terms, and Tuesday and Thursday during vacation and examination periods. Subscrip
tion rates $6.00 per year or $.50 per month. Advertising rates furnished on request.
Editor, The Battalion:
It has been brought to my atten
tion that the seating arrangement
for the home games isn’t fair to
all, especially the non-corps jun
iors, sophomores, and freshmen.
Also there have been several grad
uate students by my room want
ing to know where they will
“stand.”
This seating arrangement wasn’t
anyone’s brain storm, but rather
a carefully thought out plan that
required approximately 6 hours
before it was presented to the stu
dent senate for approval. It was
passed unanimously by this body. I
was the non-corps representative
to this committee and when this
plan was voted on by the senate
body as a, whole, not a single non
corps vote was cast against it.
As for the graduate students,
they will be admitted thru ramp
Q to stand with the non-corp sen
iors.
There may be approximately 500
seats in the end .jZone for students
and their wives who prefer not to
stand. They will be admitted thru
ramp L.
Another thing you may bring
only one guest into the student
section and they must have a wife’s
ticket or a guest ticket.

quarters, Korea, Oct. 25—(/P)
A comparative lull fell over
Korean battle fields today as
truce negotiations reopened
in Panmunjom. But jet fights
raged for the fifth straight day.
In the day’s only major ground
action, Allied tanks and infantry
stormed high ground southwest of
Kumsong. They advanced nearly
a mile before turning back.
Only light patrol action was re
ported elsewhere.
In the air war, Allied and Gom-
munist jets tangled in two brief
skirmishes.
About 50 Russian-made MIG-15
jets jumped 31 American sabre jets
flying cover for fighter-bombers
in northwest Korea early this
morning. One MIG was damaged
in the 10-minute battle. There
were no reports of Allied losses.
About the same time, two pro-
pellor-driven Corsairs and marine
Tigercat jets were attacked by
about 20 MIGs. The U. S. Fifth
Air Force said no damage was in
flicted by either side.
Editor, The Battalion:
I read with interest the articles
explaining the new seating system
agreed upon by the Senate.
I agree with the method by
which they proposed to bring order
out of a mess, but I object to the
treatment accorded “the non-corps
students other than seniors” by the
corps seniors who composed the
committee.
The non-corps sophomores and
juniors rate below the Fish accord
ing to the plan. What is so wrong
with us that \^e can’t be given the
pleasure of sitting somewhere in
the near vicinity of our own class ?
Does the fact the we wore our
uniforms in the Army and Navy et.
al. and not in the Cadet Corps of
A&M deprive us of the privilege
of associating with our own class
mates ?
It looks as if we are to be class
ed along with the items to be toler
ated but kept out of sight.
How about it, Mr. President of
the Student Senate?

(Something may be done, as
the rumors flying around the
campus seem to be in your fav
or. We ourselves, can’t see why
a seating arrangement cannot
be formed whereby civilians and
corp members sit together, even
if classes are to be Separated.
But in defense of the committee
which did arrange the seating, it
did NOT include just Corps sen
iors but also non-corps represen
tatives. There were five corps
seniors but also non-corps rep
resentatives. There were five
corps members to two civilians
which seems to be proportionate.

Club Honors Cushion
This letter by members of the United Nations Club was read and
presented to Mason L. Cashion, secretary of the YMCA. They honored
the YMCA Head for his assistance in promoting better understanding
among the foreign students and American Students.
The Texas A&M United Nations Club was founded a
year ago. It has been, unfortunately to a limited extent, the
meeting ground for foreign and American students. We have
now 69 foreign students on the campus. It is on behalf of
these 69 foreign students that I express our thanks to Mr.
Cashion for inspiring the foundation of this UN Club.
The Texas A&M United Nations Club is and should be
the bridge over the gap originating from our different ethnic
background, different cultures and different stage of social,
economical and political evolution.
This club for the Americans is a local agency to sell
the universal principles of the American Proposition.
It is for the foreigners — like us — an opportunity to
find out how those universal principles of the American
Proposition have been and are observed in this country we
have the privilege to live in and have the responsibility of
being in furthering our education. As foreigners to whom
this chance is given we feel a challenge to . . . sometime . . .
. . . somehow . . . somewhere abroad make the universal
principles of the American Proposition a part of our national
way of life.
Again, Mr. Cashion, on behalf of the A&M foreign stu
dent body we thank you for such an opportunity you have
inspired and always stimulated.
Thank you, Mr. Cashion.

Notes From
Grad School
A graduate student’s advisory
committee is the group he looks to
for help and direction in planning
and carrying out a satisfactory
and constructive graduate pro
gram.
For Master’s degree candidate
this committee is composed of not
less than three nor more than five
members of the graduate faculty.
Each member of that committee
participates in guiding the stu
dent’s program. Obviously, the
chairman of the committee is most
frequently and directly in con
tact with the student. He has the
aid and advice of the rest of the
committee available for the more
important decisions.
As quickly as the committee
is officially appointed they are
called together by the chairman to
meet with the student to prepare
a course of study.
The committee thus have a
chance to become acquainted with
the student and to learn his pur
pose in taking graduate work and
the type of work he is trying to
prepare himself for. The student’s
file in the graduate office is avail
able for such committee meet
ings.
Since the student committee
forms should all be in in the near
future, the graduate office sug
gests that chairmen of committees
for Master’s degree candidates be
developing a plan for calling their
committee together, and setting
student’s graduate file and neces
sary forms for laying out his
program while here.
