' The Red Sox and the Orioles

Tommy Bramble of the Red Sox
holds a slim edge in the individual

Mark Luther. Bramble and Luther
have pulled well ahead of the rest
of the pack, as they are clouting at
percentages of .453 and .446, re
spectively.
Resting in third place is Don
ald Thomas of the Orioles, with a
mark of .364. Rounding out the
top five are the Red Sox’ Fred
Wright, ,333, and Ervin Todd of
the White Sox, .316.
Luther, Bramble, and Thomas,
in that order, are the top trio in
hits. Bramble also is the league
leader in runs scored, having op
ened up a sizable margin over his
closest' rivals in this department,
Danny Feldman of the White Sox
and Miller of the Orioles.

the Senator’s Jim Fowler and
Wright.
Feldman has a sparkling 0.86
earned run average to lead that
department. Miller and Luther

line marks of 1.03 and 1.38, re

“Every Boy Scout needs a work
ing knowledge of geology since it
helpjs him understand and appre
ciate the physical phenomena he
sees all around him,” Shirley
Lynch, head of the geology depart
ment, said.
“He collects and learns to rec
ognize minerals, rocks and fossils
and he sees the vanous types of
soils as they are developed from
the rock formations. He also ob
serves both proper and improper
management of our soil, forests,
water and wild life resources,” he
said.
“Realizing the interest of boys
in nature, the members of the
Geology club are responding to the
request from the New York City
headquarters that men trained in
earth sciences work with both the
Boy Scouts and their leaders,”
Lynch says,
A number of other projects to
aid Scouts have been planned by
the club. Lynch is a member of
the American Association of Pe
troleum Geologists committee on
Boy Scouts.

training.”
J. Harold Dunn, member of the
board of directors and former pres
ident of the Former Students as
sociation, contacted by telephone
at his home in Amarillo, had few
comments to make.
When asked how he thought the
former students would react to the
change, he said, “We’ll have to
wait and see.”
He also said the board had dis
cussed coeducation, but he would
not comment further on the dis
cussion.
This year’s incoming freshmen
will receive a notice by mail of
the option open to them. The
change also applys to students al
ready enrolled; that is, if any stu
dents who were freshmen last year
wish to drop military training they
may. Juniors and seniors under
advanced contract will be bound by
the terms of their contracts.
In the past, all incoming stu
dents had to take military training
for the first two years, unless they
were .veterans or physically dis
qualified.
Transfer students who entered
as sophomores or higher did have
to take military training.
Under the provisions of the
Merrell act, under which land
grant colleges, such as A&M, are
authorized, military training must
be offered for the first two years.
The board met in Austin Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. Coih-
mittee meetings were held Thurs
day. The board met in closed ses
sion from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and
from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday. The
open meeting was held from 4:40
p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, and a joint
session with the University of Tex
as board of regents was held Sat
urday morning.
All members of the board of
directors were present for the
meeting.
