Hawkins Named
New IE Associate
Dr. Leslie V. HawJdns has been
named an associate professor in
the industrial education depart
ment.
He comes to A&M from the
Panhandle A&M college of Good-
well, Okla., where he taught in
dustrial arts education for eight
years.
Graduate School
Enrollment Is Up
The enrollment of A&M’s Grad
uate School is up 9.4 per cent over
the same period last year.
The enrollment to date is 351
and last year at this time it was
331, Dr. Ide P. Trotter, dean of
the Graduate School, announced to
day.
Registration will continue the
rest of this week.
In their last encounter with the
Cowboys in 1952, A&M scored in
the last minutes to win 14-7.
Kachtik’s line plunging sparked
the Cadets in that one.
In practice this week, Bryant’s
crew has shown signs of getting
over the fumblitis that hurt so
badly in the Tech opener. The
Aggies’ lack of a passing game let
Tech use a nine-man line, and
that, too, may be changed this
Saturday.

Why Not
Blame The
Weather?
The weathei* gets blamed
for a lot of things, so you
might as well blame it for all
those little bugs that have
been crawling around your
room this week.
According to the entomology
department, they are leaf
hoopers, and they spend all
their life in grass.
All of their life, that is,
except when they are bothered
by something.
The entomology department
figures the colder weather we
have been having at night
recently forced the bugs to
seek cover.
“They have a pretty good
barometer,” the department
said.

After Campaign
CHS Wears New Uniforms
A&M Consolidated high school’s
band, majorettes and cheer-leaders
will all wear brand new uniforms
this year, after months of fund
raising activities on the part of
the band and the Band Boosters
club.
Maroon and Gray
The new band uniforms are wool
serge. The-coat is a maroon, double
breasted uniform jacket with gray
trim; the gray trousers have two
maroon stripes down each side.
Topping off the uniform is an air
force-style hat with gray sides,
maroon top, and white trim.
This year 'the girls as well as
the boys will wear trousers. Last
year the girls had uniforms of a
different style with skirts.
The old uniforms featured ma
roon Eisenhower jackets and ma
roon and white army-style hats.
Carnival, Dance
A band carnival, a dance spon
sored by the Band Boosters club,
and private donations all helped to
pay for the new uniforms, which
cost about $3,200.
The majorettes’ new costumes
are different from the ones worn
last year, which were white satin
with maroon trimmings.
This year the girls will wear
white wool serge unifonns with
maroon braid and silver buttons.
Barbara Arlt, drum major, and
Carol Butler, Sally Puddy, Mildred
Dew and Betty Williams, major
ettes, sponsored a paper drive to
raise money for their uniforms.
The cheerleaders will wear the
same satin blouses this year as
last, but the rest of the costume
has changed considerably.
Instead of the corduroy skirts
and weskits worn last year, they
will have outfits of crease-resistant
maroon gabardine. These feature
a fitted, “middy” outline and a
flared skirt with white inverted
pleats.
Donations by the cheerleaders’
parent’s paid for their costumes.
ALL DRESSED UP—Proudly showing off their new uniforms are Junius Clark of the
A&M Consolidated band, Majorette Mildred Dew and Yell Leader Ann Fleming.
Corps, Non-Regs Bicker;
Problem To Be Studied
Dissension over the annual question as to where civilian
students should sit at football games sparked a short but
lively debate in the Student Senate last night before the
matter was referred to a committee.
Recommendations, ranging from putting the two groups
together to an all-college drawing for seats in the student
section of the stadium, were presented at the meeting.
However, the senate made no definite recommendations
to the committee.
Last year, the non-military students sat above the cadet
corps.
The first item about the
seating arrangement that
brought argument was the
composition of the committee.
Senate President Jerry Ramsey
first suggested the committee be
composed of four corps members
and three non-regs. This, however,
drew sharp criticism from civilian
Senator Jerry Schnepp who wanted
three members of each faction on
the committee.
“We should get out of the idea
that one group—the corps—is the
ruling faction here,” Schnepp said.
After John Benefield pointed out
that last year’s committee was
made up of four corps men and
three civilian students, Wallace
Eversburg said it was of little
importance which group had the
most members on the committee.
“Surely,” he said, “some people
will have enough sense to vote
for the best interests of A&M and
not for some clique.”.
Ramsey asked the senators “not
to get off on petty differences”
and instead work for a “greater
A&M.”
Four-Three Approved
The motion finally approved by
the senate called for four corps
members and three non-corps men.
It was passed unanimously.
However, after the initial argu
ments over who should be on the
committee were finished and the
motion passed, several senators of
fered suggestions to the committee.
Tony Specia first proposed that
the civilian students be allowed to
sit with the cadets. But this im
mediately drew fire from corps
senators who pointed out that there
was little way of telling the civil
ian classes apart except in the case
of seniors wearing rings.
A system of having each civilian
student wear a different colored
car-d to represent his class was
suggested by Benefield. The plan
was tried last year, and the civilian
house masters distributed the cards
in their dormitories. However',
the plan was used only once.
Interjected between the argu
ments over what to do with the
civilian students was a comment
by civilian Senator George Allen.
He said, “I hate to see any dis-
sention between the corps and the
non-oorpsi students.”
One other proposal, also present
ed by Benefield, was to have a
drawing for seats in the student
section. The main objection to the
plan was how students would take
dates to the games if there were
only one seat to a student.
After the debate over the mat
ter ended, the senate appointed
members to the seating committee,
but the entire composition of the
group was not named since several
civilian senators remain to be elect
ed. Appointed were Allen, Bene
field, Bob Alcock, Gus Mijalis and
Jim Rowland. No chairman was
named.
In other action by the seriate,
Ronnie Miller, Gene Stubblefield,
Buddy Vance and Dave Parnell
were appointed to the college’3
traffic committee.
A budget committee composed
of Treasurer Eversburg, Jerry
Johnson and Specia was named to
study the allotment of the senate’s
$760 budget, approved by the Stu
dent Life committee last spring.
No date for the election of the
civilian senators was set, but Ram
sey said the executive committee
of the senate would pick a date
