Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1954 It’s A Start - - But The Civilian Student Council, which held its first meeting last night, appears to be an organization definitely interested in getting the civilian student all the rights to which he is entitled. The group, took definite ac tion on problems affecting .the civilian stu dents, and tlm councilmen worked toward improving the position of the civilian at A&M. However, if the procedure of last night’s meeting was any indication of .future council meetings, the group has a long way to go be- 'S fore it gains the prestige the council should have. More than half of the two-hour-long meeting was lost in parliamentary rules and bickering over petty problems. Also, some of the councilmen were basing their arguments on the assumption that the civilian students is being unjustly treated, and in some cases this is untrue. The council will go much farther toward achieving its goals when the councilmen forget any prej udices they now have about the treatment of More Cars ■ The football weekend will bring hundreds of additional cars to A&M’s already-crowded streets. Drive and walk carefully. The “big- weekend” isn’t worth your life. the civilian students. Once the council gets a better view of its powers and problems, then the civilian stu dents can have a governing body of which they can be proud. Mistake Corrected The air force has corrected one of its mis takes of last year. After about three months of persuasion from the local air science detachment, air ROTC headquarters has decided to throw out the results of the Stanine test given to last year’s AS freshmen—the one that freshmen were told “wouldn’t count”. A few days after the freshmen took the test, they were told that it would count—that it would be used as a basis for awarding advanced con tracts. But air ROTC headquarters has some what rectified this mistake. A little late perhaps; the boys who made below passing- grades on the test had already dropped out of air science. Maybe the air force is sj: last beginning to realize its unfair and inconsiderate treat ment of air science students is causing a ser ious morale problem. ,T PEUi-OW SEM6.TOK.sf \1 1~K Pallc AT LAST we WAVE TU* PEE.PECT I JOJJ V^clIlS ^SEATIWC ARBLAKlCeWVeMTf -A y— AT TUB GAbAEL TU(5> l&TU SOPUOMOBE SECTION v (\wmo wie ' / Tnut> m ! nso) S PLAviM 1 AGGIES . . . .
