THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1955
Cadet Slouch — by Earle
Tradition anil Legend,
In a school overburdened with pusedo-
traditions, the annual Muster is a refreshing
bright spot.
Here is a tradition that has lasted
through the years without coercion; one that
has lasted because it really means something
to the people who participate.
Even the.current crop of college students
of any given year, who generally like to con
sider themselves a cynical, hardened lot,
can’t help but feel a little sad and a little
proud when someone’s friend answers “here”
for him at his last A&M roll call.
All through his four-year career here,
the student is told that A&M men “really
once an
stick together” after they leave-
Aggie, always an Aggie.”
This is vague propaganda, of the sort to
be heard at any school, until you see it prov
en. The Muster here, and the stories of
Musters all over the world, are proof enough.
Out of the Muster history has grown a
Muster legend—the Corregidor story—that
is right up with the best of Texas history
for courage and loyalty, the main attributes
of heroes.
The men of the Alamo and San Jacinto
must consider themselves brothers of the
men of the Corregidor Muster, and of the
men of all the Musters.
Inevita bility
The Student Life committee’s recommen
dation for student representation in the
group should take care of both the military
and civilian partisans.
It’s a fair method, and it gives almost
equal representation. The only dishearten
ing factor was found in the discussion of the
proposal at the group’s meeting.
Some of the military and civilian students
sounded like they considered a wide-open
split between the military and civilian stu
dents inevitable, and wanted to prepare for
it.
If both the military and civilian students
get it into their heads that there is going
to be a break along the uniform line, then
there most certainly will be.
And if everything is approached in a spir
it of cooperation, there most certainly will
not be.
THAT TIME OF THE YEAR—With the coming of spring, all Aggies began thinking of
women, the outdoors, women, beaches, and women. These six girls pack most of the
Aggies’ thoughts into one picture as they show off new swim fashions. They are, left to
right, Linda Link, Weslaco; Pat Workman, McAllen; Judy Russy, Brownsville; Mary
Kirby, Harlingen; Kay Joyce, La Feria; and Daisey Varnam, Port Isabel.

Texas Senate Approves
New Education Bill
Based on AP Reports
The Texas senate has approved
a compromise version of a bill to
set up a Texas commission of high
er education to coordinate the ac
tivities of the state’s nine senior
colleges and universities, including
A&M.
Sen. A. M. Aiken and Sen. Ottis
Lock had introduced conflicting
bills, but they told the senate they
ag'reed on the compromise.
The bill was approved 24-3.
The bill, which now goes to the
house, calls for a 15-member com
mission to be appointed by the gov
ernor for six-year terms.
Members would be from differ
ent parts of the state, and could
not be professional educators.
Among the commission’s duties
would be a continuing study of the
state’s higher education needs, re
view of the budget requests of the
nine schools, development of for
mulas for equal distribution of
state education funds, and approv
ing the starting and discontinuing
of courses after Sept. 1, 1956.
A full-time office staff is pro
vided for in the bill.
The bill is a recommendation of
the temporary Texas commission
on higher education, set up by the
last legislature to investigate the
state’s higher education system and
methods of improving it.
