and therefore they leave A&M for
more liberal colleges.
Objective examinations offer lit
tle chance for a student to express
himself, the report said, so more
subjective type examinations
should be given by A&M professors
when suitable. The report added
that more emphasis should be plac
ed on correct spelling.
After voting to reject the por
tion of the committee’s report ask
ing that exemptions from final ex-
aminatioiis' be done away willq'the
council rephrased the report to ask
that the Academic council by all
means retain the exemption system
as it is at present.
Councilors felt the system was
good for A&M because it provides
the necessary incentive to Study
and allows more time to be devoted
to other final examinations.
Also, the council recommendation
asked that as much time as pos
sible be reserved by instructors the
week before finals for review.
Extra-Curricular Activities
The evaluation group praised the
work of the Memorial Student Cen
ter directorate and the student life
committee for the work those two
groups have done to further stu
dent-faculty relations and recom
mended that the council, support the
lecture series planned by the MSC
forum committee.
Bait Discussed
(Continued from Page I )
Persons here have been accusing
The Battalion of “hurting A&M”

persons who visited White. He
said he wanted Holder and Bennett
removed from office because he
believed they were hurting' the col
lege. The cadet colonel said lie
also wanted the qa , aliWutkK(i'S' / -flS!r

co-editors.
Mitchell moved that Phillips’ mo
tion be amended to also include
studying the qualifications for edi
tor. His motion died when no one
would second it.
White said that the Student Life
constitution was drawn up without
committees for yell leaders and
Student Publications. Student En

The Student Life committee also
voted to give all profits from the
Twelfth Man Bowl to the Student
Aid committee. Student Life mem
bers also passed a motion by Mitch
ell to set up a committee to study
the Who’s Who selection method.
This action followed a complaint
by Fields. Hr didn’t believe that
students who failed to get elected
to Who’s Who should be allowed
to try for the award again if they
Were still in school another year.
Fields said some students were get
ting two chances and others only
one.

Letters
Editors, The Battalion:
John Clark left our school more
than a month ago. Eacli day I
read in The Battalion of someone
writing either to praise or condemn
him. Why not forget Clark and
all his ideas and devote our efforts
to a better Texas A. and M. ?
Cy Johnston, ’56
Editors, The Battalion:
I don’t know who took it upon
themselves to edit my Letter to ,the
Editors which appeared Wednes
day, December 9.
In that letter I spoke of a fellow
named Arlington, about the class
of ’52, Who also wrote a letter de
nouncing the Seniors as “unauthor
ized persons” and all that hogwash.
It is Mr. Arrington, not Mr. Har
rington, in whom I am disappoint
ed.
Someone was correct. A&M is
not known for its Editors.
