Steering Group Lists "Fish Area 9 Proposals The following list contains the advantages which the steex’ing committee for 1953-54 corps policy be lieves a consolidation of the Corps of Cadets would have over the present system of freshman segrega tion. This list was presented to President M. T. Har rington last night. He agreed to consider the pro posals. The advantages pertain to academic, military, ixxorale, and student activity improvement. Academic 1. More rigidly enforced C.Q. would encourage better study habits. 2. Fx-eshmen would be encoux-aged to study dur ing free hours as well as during C.Q. 3. Freshmen could make a wisex - selection of field of study by being ip cdntact with those further advanced. 4. Fx’eshmen could discuss theix 1 work with those who have taken it pi’eviously and who understand their problems. They would have access to com plete qxxiz files. 5. The fi'eshmen woxxld develop a competitive acadexnic spirit due to coixxpetition within and be tween outfits. 4. A&M is loser without spirit. Men could be taught the feeling of being an Aggie in yell prac tice as well as out. 5. Good traditions which make an Aggie would be in constant usage. Traditions are a sort of a “moving Spirit” and could be constantly taught by example by the uppex’classmen. Examples: Corps trip traditions and the Aggie line. 6. Examples would be set by all upperclassmen instead of a few. With the constant reminder that spirit really exists at A&M, more upperclassmen will be setting the example and living the life of a true Aggie. 7. The feeling of one family—a freshman’s duties with and for his upperclassmen would deepen the life-blood of A&M now. By living under a good officer, freshmen will be “good fish” and will be ambitious. 8. Meix have and feel friendship of a united group. 9. Since men will return to the same outfit next year, each man will do his best to make a good record, thus improving personal as well a outfit standax'ds. Thex-e would be less laxity in duties. Student Activities 6. A freshman would be more interested in his basic courses since he would see how they ai'e necessary for his future wox'k. Military CE Staff Schedules Party Saturday Night Staff members of the civil engi neering department will play cards and be served i*efreshments at their monthly party Saturday^ night. The social gathering will begin at 7 p. nx. in the MSC Social Room. Aggielam Published The Aggit published by Delaney, co-s yearbook. “We’ll br goes alright," o 29 1. There would be two and one-half upper classmen to each fish. 2. More responsibility woxxld be given to the sophomores. 3. It would x’elieve x’eadjustment fox’ fish coxxxing to the ixew area. 4. It would eliminate the “two-yeax* fish.” Morale Roland Bahlmaixri 1. A&M is built on spirit. 2. The spirit is divided now. It is charactex*- ized by a “go to hell” attitude among the upper- classmen, and an “on the ball” enthusiasxn among the fish. The new spirit would be a shot in the arm to the oldex - Aggies. 3. Correction within the outfit would lessexx the obvious hazing during public yell practice. 1. Mox-e freshman participation in intramurals will eliminate the tendency to hold back and will create more interest in the outfit — the feeling of working for and with your group. 2. Freshmen will be better informed as to the wide variety of clubs (home town, honor societies, I student publications, etc.) on the campus and will better realize the advantages of participation in these organizations. % 3. Reluctance to associate with upperclassmen in club work would be greatly reduced due to as sociation within the outfit. 4. Freshmen could more easily be brought to realize the advaxxtages of taking part in student elections. 5. Fx’eshmen would become better known and their opinions would be given more consideration in | all places—the school, the outfit, instructors, and college officials. 6. By personal observation and on the basis of participation in intramurals, clubs, and student elec tions, cadet officers will be better able to determine which men will hold rank.
