Tickets are $1.50 and may be puchased at the door. ■ Seniors in all branches with dates will be admitted as will freshmen of combat branches with dates. Faculty and guests other than military personnel are to dress as immigrants. They should wear old clothes, especially old suits and black bow ties, said Carpenter. Military personnel will wear the same uniform as students. Decorating Begins Friday Decorating for the ball will be gin at 9 a. m. Friday. Students in combat branches are requested to come to Sbisa during off periods to help Carpenter added. Howitzers, mines, recoilless ri fles, machine guns and sidearms will be used in the decoration of “Fort Sbisa” to create a combat atmposhere for the affair. John O. (Dukey) Childs will give an impersonation at inter mission, Carpenter said. Combat seniors are planning a party after the ball. All seniors wishing to go should contact their battalion commanders or get in touch with Co-Chairmen Carpenter or Jack Reynolds. Judging by the success of last year’s combat ball, the affair Fri day night should be a tremendous success, Cai’penter said. Military Adds New A F Guest Maj. Gen. Norris B. Har- bold, director of training for the Air Force, was added to the list of distinguished visi tors for Military Day Satur day. Gen. Harbold will arrive by plane from Washington along with other guests from that area. Final plans were completed yes terday for the big weekend which spotlights A&M’s military str ength. Something new has been added to the program this year. A lunch eon will be given for the guests by Corps Commander Weldon Kruger. Scheduled in Sbisa Hall Banquet Room, the luncheon will be attended by division and regi mental commanders and a few cadets from the Corps Staff. Dates and wives of the students also will attend. A corps review is scheduled at 1:50 p. m. on the main parade ground. Tickets for the Military Ball, Saturday from 9-12 p. m., are be ing sold by unit and staff supply sergeant’s and at the office of Stu dent Activities in Goodwin Hall. The dance will be in Sbisa Hall and will feature the music of Ralph Flanagan and his orchestra. Tick ets are $2.50. A concert in Guion Hall will pre cede the Ball at 7:30 p. m. The Of fice of Student Activities has con cert tickets at 75 cents each. Council Answers Honor Questions If the Honor Code works, it will be because the students want it to work, said the Intercouncil Con- mittee recently in discussing the merits of the newly approved plan. The Intercouncil presented this point when answering the question “Might not the required reporting of the offense eventually lead to the reporting of the offender?” “We should not worry too much over unpleasant things that might happen in the future,” the commit tee said. “If this Honor Code does work, it will be because the Aggies want it to work and because it is to their oyera 11 adyantage -for it to work.” One can be assured, the com mittee continued, if anything is imposed upon the students con trary to their conception of fair play and sportsmanship, it will be observed more in the breach than in the performance. Other questions answered by the committee included: Q.: Will students in a class un der the Honor Code be required to sit in alternate seats and alternate rows ? A.: This is a subject the instruc tor may want to discuss with his class. Ordinary common sense in dicates that a man can do better mental work when he has room to work. Also when students sit in adjacent seats there is less like lihood of inadvertently looking on his neighbor’s paper and perhaps be accused of cheating every time he turned his head. It would seem that the matter of using alternate seats should be dis cussed between students and in structor so that common grounds for procedure could be established with a feeling of mutual confi dence. Q.: Would some students be re luctant to report the offense ? A.: Possibly they would. It has been suggested that some sections might want to elect a small “Honor Committee” of three or four stu dents to whom offenses would be reported. This committee would in turn be honor-bound to report to the instructor. Q.: If cheating is reported on a quiz, shall the instractor throw it out and give another ? A.: This would not seem to be realistic and would punch the man for the transgression of a few. The instructor should tell the class when cheating had been reported on a quiz so all might know that someone had taken unfair advant age of his classmates. Other questions and answers will be published in subsequent issues of The Battalion.

AUSTIN, March 26—UP)—An intensive, two-year, pro fessional study has been recommended to tell the next Legis lature whether Texas is getting full value for money spent by state colleges. The plan came from a committee appointed by Gov. Shivers to investigate the need for a coordinated system of state-supported colleges. A resolution by the Legislature had called on the com mittee to make the study, but the committee said an under taking of such magnitude could not be attempted in 30 days. Instead, it suggested the Legislature create a 41-mem ber commission to make a long-range survey like the one ■♦■that led to passage of the Gilmer Chevalier Engi ;ineers Hear Talk by Chevalier Col.

Harring ton was a member of the 16-man committee which made initial rec ommendations to the governor. The group was composed of sev en state college presidents and nine representatives from state college boards. The committee was disbanded re cently. This study would cover ways of coordinating the college to avoid duplication of work. Degrees and areas of specialization for each school would be outlined. The pi’oposed law calls attention to complaints that Texas’ system of higher education is uncoordinated and overlapping. Enrollment in the colleges is expected to increase one-third by 1960. Composed of Appointees The commission would be com posed of college board members, outstanding citizens appointed by the governor, legislators, college presidents, the state education commissioner, and one member from the state boaid of education.
