On Monthly Basis
A sui-voy is being- made in the
non-military dorms by their stu-

paying board by the month and
having college served meals, Bob
Murray, dormitory council for civ

College View, said.
The. meals, if served, will be'
cafeteria style. The reason for
not sex-ving family style, he said,
is because this system was tried
back in 1946 and 1947 and the re
sults proved unsatisfactory.
Jay Peniston, college mess hall

as many as 200 students would

Auto Hits Horse,
No One Injured
Bei-nai-d Swindler Jr-., ’53, struck
a mare while dxiving on Farm
Highway 59, about 9:45 p. m.
Sunday.
Swindler was i-etuming fi-om
Austin in a ’51 station wagon when
the mare started on to the x-oad.
He attempted to miss the animal
but struck it anyway. He lost
control of the car after hitting
• the mai'e and the car turned over
two or thi’ee times.
The top of the station wagon
was ei-ushed level with the top of
the seats but Swindler escaped
without a scratch. The mai-e was
killed.

amount, he said, because the col
lege would be losing money below
that figure.
In event a cafeteria should open
on this basis, the px*esent system
of itemized cost pex - meal would
be done away with and the cost
per month would be the same as
the corps is charged. In case any
one wished to eat in the cafeteria
but did not want to pay by the
month, they would be required to
pay for their meal on a guest
basis, the amount varying with
the meal, rather than a fixed price
for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
The chief worry of the mess
personnel at the present is the
transfer-ring of meal tickets. In
case of such a possibility, they an
nounced, anyone found handing out
their tickets will be prohibited
from eating in the cafeter-ia for
the rest of the semester.
How soon these changes take
place depends upon the number of
students interested and how soon
the mechanics of the matter can
be worked out.
All students interested in paying
their board by the month should
sign up with the senator of their
dorm.

Ink Spots
In Guion
The Ink Spots and Cootie Wil
liams are the feature attraction
in Guion tonight, with their unique
rhythm and instrumental stylings
in jazz and blues.
The two groups are currently
appearing at leading theatres,
night clubs and ballrooms through
out the country.
Composed at present of Charlie
Fuqua, Ivory (Deck) Watson, Jim
my Holmes, and Harold Jackson.
Fuqua’s baritone voice and gui
tar have been with the Ink Spots
ever since their start years ago
in Indianapolis. The lightning like
strumming of his guitar has been
a mainstay to the quartet since
its debut on a Cincinnati radio
station many years ago.
Watson is also one of the ori
ginal members, of the group. His
strutting, prancing and singing is
nationally and internationally
known.
Holmes a native of Philadelphia*,
sang as soloist with the Blue
Jacket Choir of the US Navy and
the American Male Chorus. He
sings tenor lead when the unit
sings sweet ballads.
Jackson, bass and bass fiddle
player for the quartet, is a per
fect blend to the well-rounded
group.
The Ink Spots are famous for
their arrangements of “If I Did
n’t Care,” “Do I Worry,” “May
be,” “Java Jive,” and others.
The other half of this “big”
show is “Cootie” Williams and his
nationally famous band.
Williams, known as the “Growl”
trumpet king, and his band have
made a name for themselves with
the distinctive style used in such
songs as “Shot Gun Boogie,”
“Sliding and Gliding,” “You Got-
to Pay Them Dues,” “Cherry Red
Blues,” and “Harlem Echoes.”

Commanders Want Action
On Discipline Problems
B Armor
Dissolved
For Hazing
B Company Armor, one of
two Armor units in the cadet
corps, was dissolved Friday as
disciplinary action after evi
dence had been found by col
lege authorities that hazing had
been carried on in that unit.
Junior’s and senioi-s in the com
pany were dispersed to other-
ground force branches in the corps.
They will wear the insignia of the
company they live with, but will
continue to take Armor military
science.
Sophomores in the company,
other than five found guilty of
being hazed, were allowed to move
into A Armor.
The B Company commander, Vic
Gillet of Corpus Christi, was re
lieved of his command and moved
to a non-corps dormitory. No ac
tion had been taken against his
advanced contract at press time
today.
Five sophomores were found
guilty of having submitted to haz
ing, which is against college regu
lations. The men would not dis
close the name or names of men
who had hazer them and further
refused to answer direct questions
from an investigating military
panel.
The panel took action on their
case by barring them from the ca
det corps, but allowed them to re
main in school as non-corps stu
dents. Their deferments were can
celled.
Other sophomores in the unit
were at first ordered by college of
ficials to be dispersed to other-
companies, but a committee head
ed by Corps Commander Weldon
Kruger and First Division com
mander Joe Wallace appealed the
case to President M. T. Harrington
on grounds that the sophomores
were being punished for something
over which they had no control.
After- due consideration, Presi
dent Harrington agreed to allow
the sophomores to move into A
Armor.
Jack Willingham, commander of
A Armor, assured college authori
ties that no hazing would be car
ried on in his unit. “I’ll stake my
entire college career on that,” said
Willingham.

“We’ll appeal our case to the board of directors.”
This was the sentiment of many corps unit commanders
yesterday as they hammered out complaints about the corps
of cadets in a session which dragged for three hours and saw
little accomplished.
The meeting was called by the commandant to clarify
certain points of college authority which pertain to a student
New Officers
Picked to Head
A and S Council
Ralph Wallingford, senior
accounting major, was elected
president of the Arts and Sci
ences Council at its first meet
ing of the year last night in
the MSG Senate Chamber.
Bert Weller, senior English
major, was named vice president
and Jim Tillotson senior physics
major was elected secretar-y-treas-
urer.
A motion was passed to select
both a junior and senior represen
tative for the Inter-Council Com
mission. E. P. Rodregues, mathe
matics major, was elected senior-
representative and John Samuels,
economics major, was elected jun
ior representative.
A motion was passed to allow
the Business Products Marketing
Club full membership in the A & S
Council.
Reports were made concerning
the financial condition of The Com
mentator, magazine of the School
of Arts and Sciences. No national
advertising has been acquired so
far this year with prospective ad
vertising totaling only $275, said
Dr. J. P. Abbott, dean of the
School of Arts and Sciences.. The
Commentator lost $1472 last year
he said.
Subscriptions to the magazine
now total 503, according to Arvis

ing.
The commanders expressed a definite amount of dissat
isfaction with the way they had been allowed to “run” their
units and asked the possibilities of bringing in the Presdent
or Board of Directors to hear their complaints. No definite
answer was given to this request. . '
Instead, a committee headed by First Division Com
mander Joe Wallace, was appointed by Corps Commander
Weldon Kruger to accept all complaints from commanders,
submitting himself to physical inspection as a check on haz- 1 This committee was charged with the responsibility of de-
-termining what grievances now ex
ist in the corps and with the added
responsibility of presenting these
grievances to the military depart
ment to find a solution, if possible.
Commandant Col. Joe Davis as
sured the commanders that all
points would be considered by the
military department. Members of
the committee are Joe Wallace,
chairman; Gene Steed, Sam Har
per, Davis Bottom, Pat Richmond,
Lyle Wolfskill, Lee Phillips, Dan
ny Howell, and Dick Birdwell.
Col. Davis opened the meet
ing by explaining certain authority
the college enjoys as far as re
quiring physical inspections to de
termine if hazing exists in a unit.
“It has been proven through
courts that the A&M System Boar d
of Directors, through the Presi
dent, has the authority to estab
lish rules and regulations it feels
necessary for the oper-ation of this
college,” said Col. Davis. “The
college is granted the authority to
take whatever steps it deems nec
essary to enforce these rules,” he
added.
Read Administrative Order
Col. Davis read an adminis
trative order issued yesterday by
President M. T. Harrington con
cerning physical inspections o f
students. The order read as fol
lows-: ■■ • - • ’ ' .
“Upon my appointment as Pres
ident of this college, I was charged
by the Board of Directors with the
responsibility of eliminating haz
ing in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas. The cadet of
ficers have been most cooperative,
and we feel that they have helped
to make a great deal of progress
in eliminating this practice.
“In order to be sure that the
“board” will not be used, there
will be frequent and unannounced
physical inspections of students
by designated staff members and
cadet officers. It is the responsi
bility of the Commandant and the
Dean of Men to see that this or
der is carried out.”
The commandant pointed out
students come here on their own
volition and are therefore subject
to the rules and regulations of the
college.
“T h e s e regulations supersede
civil rights in many cases,” Davis
explained.
College Can Make Laws
“The college has the authority
to inspect personal belonging^
without a search warrant; this haS
been upheld by court action, “Da
vis explained.
“The college can set its own traf
fic laws and other laws which are
necessary; it is a separate and dis
tinct organization.”
“We can handle certain cases
without referring to civil courts.
We inflict less punishment than
civil courts would in many cases,
