Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1954 No Change Yet The change from specific branch instruc tion to branch general would be a big one for Texas A&M, but it isn’t here yet. Many students will dislike the change, because it will mean the end of the tradition al branch spirit here. But the change is just being considered; nothing concrete has been done about it. It seems that the army favors the change, and that they have good reason for favoring it. Each student must evaluate the change calmly, and consider the relative merits and demerits before forming an opinion. In any case, the students should think before taking any action. A Lack of Confidence A group has just finished looking into health facilities for A&M students, and they undoubtedly decided that there is something lacking. The investigating committee was charged with examining the present facilities and seeing how they could be expanded into a more complete, all-around health service. One point should not be overlooked here. Whatever is decided, something should be done to build up more confidence in the col lege. hospital. Most of the students here don’t trust the hospital, and it does no good to have a health program if students are reluctant to s take ad vantage of it. At Other Schools THE ANSWER IS 20,000 FILTERS IN EVERY VICEROY TIP Inside every Viceroy tip is a vast network of 20,000 individual filters to filter your smoke over and over again. You get only the full, rich taste of Viceroy's choice to baccos . . . and Viceroys draw so freely. Yes, you get Viceroy’s remarkable new tip . . . with 20,000 individual filters . . . plus king-size length for only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters. Colleges Enjoy Varied Activities By JON KINSLOW Battalion Managing Editor Activities on the campuses of Texas colleges were varied this week, and for once football took a back seat. One thing of interest was reported by some of the student newspapers —it rains on other colleges, too. Military But the girls at Denton have their fun, too. The school’s ju niors were all excited about a hay- ride that had been planned. Al though probably not resembling hayrides we have been on, it did have cider, donuts and roasted marshmallows. It definitely could not be compared to an A&M class function. WORLD’S LARGEST-SELLING FILTER TIP CIGARETTE New King-Size FilterTip ICEROY fgfRov T SCW Take for instance Texas State College for Women. A story in the Daily Lasso says an essential part of every Tessie wardrobe is a complete set of rainwear. This gives A&M something in common with our so-called Sister School since rainwear is about the most important thing you can have here in the Brazos valley. North Texas A student official at North Texas State college an nounced that there was apparently a decline in the number of failures because of class absences. This decline, inciden tally, has been since a system of voluntary class attendance which was inaugurated in 1949. The system says simply that a student “has the right of attending or not attending class.” We think that’s a good system. The Campus Chat, NT’s newspaper, also explains that although the school has Saturday classes, some students manage to arrange their schedules so they can leave the campus on Friday. This may be quite an expose for them, but we suspected it all the time.

About half the nation’s ROTC schools are now using the general curriculum plan. Morgan said the newly-formed Council of Military Colleges agreed that the general curriculum plan was better “under the present world conditions” at their meeting last week. If the plan goes into effect next September, Morgan said, it would not affect this year’s graduating seniors, or this year’s juniors who have advanced contracts in a spe cific branch. The contracts given this year’s sophomore class would be for gen eral military science, and they would be the first class to gradu ate under the program.
