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.

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.
The hydrant will take the place
of an old one located outside the
chain link fence which circles the
school. It was reported to be im
possible to get a fire truck inside
the fence in case of a fire.
CHS is paying half of the $2,415
while the city is paying the other
half. The six inch water main will
serve the school with another plug,
easier and faster to reach in case
of fire.

Thru Friday
The A&M Consolidated el
ementary school has books by
25 authors in their “Books on
Exhibit” display, according
to Mrs. H. 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.

Don't you be
the Millionth Man
(or the one who kills him )
America's millionth traffic fatality will
occur this December, the National Safety
Council says.
Is it possible to postpone that mil
lionth death? Are there any steps yon can
take to avoid being the victim—or the
unwilling killer?
Yes/ Remember these simple safety
rules. Put them into practice . . . all
the time.
Obey speed laws! Speeding drivers are
involved in 1 out of 3 fatal traffic acci
dents. If you like to speed, better slow
down—before it costs you your life.
Watch out for children! Last year>
120,POO children were involved in acci
dents. Be extra cautious when driving
near schools, playgrounds, or in resi
dential areas.
Safety-check your car! Bad brakes, tires
or lights can put you and your family in
the hospital, or in the cemetery. Keep
your car in perfect running condition.
Be doubly cslert at night! Over half of all
traffic fatalities occur at night. Walking
or driving, you need a double order of
caution to make up for reduced visibility.
Four simple rules. Follow them.
