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

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.

First District Game
Tigers Meet Katy Tonight
By MAURICE OLIAN
Consolidated Sports Correspondent
Katy will bring their undefeated
eleven to College Station tonight
to meet the A&M Consolidated Ti
gers, in CHS’ first district game.
Game time is 8 p.m. in Tiger sta
dium.
Katy, backed by a 3-0-1 record,
has scored 92 points this season
without having a point scored
against them.
The lone tie was a 0-0 draw with
Hempstead, which gives CHS fans
a ray of hope: the Tigers beat
Hempstead 14-0 earlier in the sea
son.
Consolidated has a record of
three wins and two losses.
Coach Jim Bevans probable start
ing line-up for the game will have
Dick Hickman and Jerry Oden at
ends, Henry Phillips and Edwai'd
Linton or George Linton at tackles,
Manuel Garcia and Jack McNeely
at guards, and Norman Floeck at
center.
In the backfield will be J. B.
Carroll, quarterback; Tommy Bark
er, and Travis Engelbrecht at half
backs; and Bobby Joe Wade at
fullback.
The only changes for CHS are
Majure Atterbury and Bobby John
son, both of whom will start on
defense.
Comparison of the statistics
show Consolidated trailing Katy in
everything but punting. Carroll,
who has done all the Tiger punt
ing, has an average of 34.3 yards
per kick, and Katy’s punters have
a 32.6 average.
But CHS’ 198.8 rushing yards
per game are behind Katy’s 214.2
average, and the Tigers trail in
passing, with 37 yards per game
against 59.8 yards for Katy.
The Tigers have averaged 11
first downs per game, and Katy
has averaged 12.4.
Engelbrecht leads the Consoli
dated rushers with a net gain of
365 yards and a 6.6 yard average.
Barker is right behind his 6.1
yards per carry and net gain of
324 yards.
Wade has picked up 267 yards
and a 5.8 yard average.
Carroll has got 176 yards
