■ Seniors in all branches with

Faculty and guests other than

fles, machine guns and sidearms

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.

bold, director of training for
the Air Force, was added to

Final plans were completed yes
terday for the big weekend which

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

1:50 p. m. on the main parade
ground.
Tickets for the Military Ball,
Saturday from 9-12 p. m., are be

dent Activities in Goodwin Hall.

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
