City Editor { Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1955 Too Many Teeth The Academic Council has now passed an official college regulation prohibiting the wearing of letters from other schools on the A&M campus. The thought behind this is laudable—of course letters from other schools shouldn’t be worn by A&M students, but a college reg ulation is not the way to persuade students not to w'ear them. The group that proposed the regulation said it would “put teeth” in their request not to wear them. Some teeth — although no specific punishment was included in the regulation, it is within the bounds of possi bility that a student could be suspended for wearing a letter too many times. What happened to appealing personally to the slim minority who persist in wearing the letters, on the basis of the Aggie spirit, tradition, or just plain common courtesy? CCTA Endorses Insurance Plan For Teachers The policy committee of the College Classroom Teachers association has unanimously endorsed old age and survi vors’ insurance coverage for teachers in state colleges. At a meeting attended recently by C. H. Bernard and Melvin S. Brooks, president and vice-pres ident of the A&M CCTA chapter, j the committee endorsed the plan I because “it is becoming increas- l ingly apparent that colleges which j are not included in the plan will be 1 at a serious disadvantage, com pared with those which are, in re cruiting good quality personnel.” The policy committee, which is the governing body of the state CCTA organization, also decided “large increases in appropriations for salaries of college employees are necessary in order to narrow the gap between Texas colleges and colleges and universities which are nationally recognized as top flight in quality.” Plans were made to encourage favorable legislative action on these proposals and on the recom mendations of the Texas Commis sion on Higher Education.
