Men’s Clothing Since 1896 BRYAN, TEXAS Fish Meeting (Continued from Page 1) then? Some of the non-reg students are not speaking back when we speak to them. • When is the freshman class going to elect officer's? Most of the freshmen agreed that many of their problems within their area could be worked out if they had an organization of some kind. Explains Purpose In opening the meeting, Joe Wal lace, Corps Staff junior from San Antonio, said its pui-pose was to bring up any problems any class had concerning the corps. “These meetings are to help the various classes, and if any class needs help, it’s the freshmen who are new at/ A&M,” Wallace said. Colonel of the Corps Eric Carl son explained the position of the cadets. “We’re trying to make a better corps, to make better lead ers,” he said. “To do this, we need the cooperation of everybody. We’re all on the same team, and we want the coi-ps to be as solid as a rock.” Commandant Col. Joe E. Davis said, “Every cadet has certain ob ligations. Unless these obligations are accepted, we can’t have the military school we desire.” Col. Shelley Meyers, PMS&T, explained contract procedures and answered questions. Col. E. W. Napier, PAS&T, was also on hand to answer questions. Queries brought up at the meet ing will be referred to the proper authorities and will be answered at the next meeting, which will be in about one month, the. Fish were told.

Continental 611 Company A&M (Continued from Page 1) participants. “Judge Streit called attention to the number of athletic scholar ships offered at several Southwest Conference schools. At the A&M College of Texas we have almost twice as many scholarships held by students who have no connection with any athletic team as scholar ships held by boys participating in all athletic sports.” And in Chicago, Hugh Willett, president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, said a sub stantial majority of the organiza tion’s 320 members supported a 12- point program for tighter controls on college athletics. But a committee of seven col lege presidents, meeting in Wash ington, agreed “something must be done” to remove whatever evils are in the intercollegiate athletic pro gram. University of Oklahoma athletes are required to maintain proper scholastic standards, University President Dr. George L. Cross said in answering Judge Streit’s state ment that one Oklahoma football player was taking introduction to geography and loaded his program with theories of basketball, swim ming games and volley ball in his senior yea]-. “We are interested in having all our athletes make steady prog ress toward graduation,” Dr. Cross said. N The reaction of Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma football coach, was to go into the records and announce that football lettermen have been grad uated at a 92 per cent pace since he became coach of the Sooners. “If Judge Streit will give us the name of the Oklahoma football player ho was referring to, we will be glad to make the player’s schol astic record public.” The judge did not name the player in his lengthy statement. The judge’s statement that Southern Methodist awards 154 athletic scholarships annually brought from Athletic Director Matty Bell a question as to what was wrong with his school grant ing such scholarships. “Well,, it isn’t any of the judge’s business in the first place and in the second place these scholar ships cover all sports, not just football. . . . These are given to Beanmont-Port Arthur Clubs Invite Wives The Beaumont-Port A r t h u r home-town clubs will put into ef fect a new means of boosting at tendance at bi-weekly meetings to night, by inviting wives of married students to attend their meeting. In addition to discussing plans for a joint Christmas Dance at the Port Arthur Pleasure Pier, the club will view the showing of A&M’s football game with Georgia in the Presidential Cup Bowl last year. Aggie quarterback Dick Gar- demal will describe the film. Also included on the big program will be Cowboy songs by H. L. “Hank” McAdams and refresh ments consisting of coffee and doughnuts. boys, who, in the main, would be unable to attend college without the assistance. ... 1 wish this judge would meet some of the fine boys we have in athletics. Our athletes are among the finest young men in the country and it is that way at most of the colleges.” Dana X. Bible, University of Texas Athletic Director, conceded the collegiate football program “may have gotten off-side a little bit” sometimes but declared the good in football far out-weighs the bad. “It’s just another indication of the need for a committee like this,” said Dr. John A. Hannah, Presi dent of Michigan State and head of a special committee set up by the American Council on Education to look into sports. That was the only comment on the judge’s blast from the commit tee of seven college presidents but before the jurist made his statement, Hannah told reporters: “We realize we must be respon sible for the total operation of the university. We have a real con cern in the protection of the in tegrity in higher education. “We start with the assumption that there is much good in college sports. We want to preserve what’s good and take the evil out.” Tennessee’s Rebuttal Tennessee’s rebuttal came from President C. E. Brehm who said in a statement: “We don’t think the athletic de partment has over-emphasized ath letic activities to the detriment of our academic program. We are maintaining high academic stan dards and the boys who play on the football team have to conform to those standards if they continue in school.” Maryland’s answer to Judge Streit’s statement that 60 of Mary land’s 97 players are from other states was given by Geary Eppley, Dean of Men and Chairman of th# Athletic Council. “We have always had quite a few from out of the state,” he said. “Probably not so many as we now have but the bulk of our students from outside of Maryland and the District of Columbia come from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.” Dr. Turk Speaks At Lions Meeting Dr. R. D. Turk, head of the Vet erinary Parasitology Department, was guest speaker at the College Station Lions Club Monday in the MSC.

In a description of student life and the campus itself, Perry trys to ans wer questions that a boy planning to come to A&M would ask. Beginning the book with a de scription of the inauguration of President M. T. Harrington last year, Perry continues the story with a second chapter entitled, “Some Aggies I Have Known.” Also in the biography, the auth or deals with the differences in student life at A&M with that of other schools. He continues with chapters on traditions, military, student publications, the Aggie Band and other musical organiza tions. Separate chapters of the book are devoted to a description of each of the college’s schools. In the final chapters, Perry takes a look at the future A&M, with the far- reaching plans of the college dis-* cussed in detail.
