the first motion of the meeting
which was approved. It asked that
the function not be included on the
Senior Banquet, or Senior Ring
Dance tickets and that the func
tion not be sponsored from class
funds.
Throughout the meeting differ
ent views were presented. Oppo
sition of one ticket including the
price for beer and food was based
on the “moral” points of the ques
tion. Those favoring the beer
merely chanted: “We want a beer
bust.”
Class Gifts Sought
Bob Andrews of Terral, Okla.,
head of the class gift committee,
presented a suggestion for the gift
which was disapproved. The sug
gestion, given to the gift commit
tee by A. H. Winder ’52 and L. E.
Winder ’50, both of College Sta
tion, asked that the class buy a
$100,000 single premium 20-year
endowment insurance policy.
Andrews then named other gifts
on the list which he said would
be discussed in detail later when
more persons could be consulted.
The seniors adopted the estab
lishment of a class committee of
45 members which will aid the
class agent and his assistant in
handling the class affairs after
graduation. Presented by Haskell
Simon of Bay City, the proposal
was approved unanimously, after
little discussion.

v Chancellor Gibb Gilchrist of the A&M System denounced
today Sen. Moore’s latest resolution as a personal attack and
voiced his opposition to the abolishment of the chancellor’s
position.
He attributed Moore’s resolution, which calls for direc
ting' the A&M Board of Directors to abolish the office of
chancellor, to the senator’s “lack of knowledge of the system’s
'organization and when, why, and by whom it was created.”
President of the College M. T. Harrington supported
Gilchrist’s views. The president said, “Anyone who is famil
iar at all with the operation of the A&M System recognizes
the value and importance of the office of the chancellor.”
Harrington said that the efficient and economical opera
tion of the system under this organization has proven so
sound and logical that it has been copied by other large edu
cational institutions.
Moore’s resolution on the chan
cellorship recited that with en
rollment dropping at A&M, the
job is no longer needed and it
would save the state money to
abolish it.
The chancellor said, “Moore’s
resolution seems to stem fi*om the
same motives that caused him to
introduce the ill-advised and short
lived resolution on the matter of
coeducation for A&M.”
Gilchrist expressed no desire “to
answer what appears to be a per
sonal attack, but I am opnosed to
arv such attempt to destrov the
efficient administrative system
which the hoard of directors has
worked ont for the A&M College
System, just as I am staunchly
opposed to any attempt to make
A&M coeducational. These are
matters of principle affecting the
interests as well as the pocketbooks
of the people of Texas.”
A Legislature committee on
June 6, 1947, first proposed the
creation of the chancellor as chief
administrative officer for the sys
tem. Months later, after much
discussion and careful study, th'?
board of directors in 1948 created
the system Organization.

said, “is operating under the sys

ter. They have been sponsored na
tionally by the United Student

; Sponsoring the conference with

dist, Christian, Episcopalian, Luth
eran and YMCA student programs.
Gilchrist added that the system
organization has resulted in great
er economy of operation, increased
efficiency and better service for

attempt to tear down this carefully
worked out organization to satisfy
a whim or a personal prejudice,”
he added.
