Battalion Editorials Page 2 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1954 Something Hidden Somebody’s trying to hide something here. The Academic council met yesterday, and “there is no news release on the meeting.” And the college officials aren’t answering any direct questions, either. It is probable that the proposed general curriculum plan, in which A&M army ROTC students are vitally con cerned, was discussed, yet the college doesn’t want to say whether the plan was accepted or rejected. Even if this plan wasn’t discussed, the fact that the ad ministration doesn’t want to talk indicates that something is goin on, and going on in secrecy. The college has played fair with the students in most instances this year. It’s a shame they have to start con cealing things now. li , We have a complete assortment of Arrow Spread collars in I stock right now.

New Fire Hydrant Planned for CHS Contract for a new fire hydrant at A&M Consolidated high school has been let to Andrews and Par ker construction company, said Ran Boswell, city manager.

S, Creswell, prin cipal. The school is exhibiting 550 books of a grammar school level to the students. The purpose of the exhibit is to allow students to select the books they would like to read in order that the school may order them. A list of the books is turned in by the students after examining them. A survey will be taken and the ones which show the greatest reader interest will be bought. The students are allowed during their reading and English periods to browse through the books and make their selections. The reaction by the students to the books has been very favorable. The boys seem to enjoy adventure stories, such as “The Silver Trap” and “Cochise”. The girls have been picking the romantic type, such as “Bonnie, Island Girl.” The exhibit has been shown in 20 states and has received favor able comments from educators around the country. College Sta tion is one of 17 comnftmities in Texas that is holding the exhibit this year. ill ABNER IT'S A MAD IDEA, LOVERBOVNIK— BUT IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET TINY IN THE SADIE HAWKINS DAY RACE.
