THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1955
A Good Year
The Academic council hit the right note
yesterday in commending all the people re
sponsible for student life here this year.
By and large it’s been a good year, in
spite of the difficulties of both the civilians
and the cadets operating under new organiza
tions, and each learning to live with the
other.
The student life program here is not per
fect yet; there are rough spots to be cleared
up, like the relations between the assorted
student councils and committees, but these
are somewhat minor problems.
There have been some bad features, such
as the growing unrest between the civilian
students and the cadet corps, but both of
them couldn’t have worked at developing
new and enlarged programs without conflict
ing on some points.
Everybody should have their feet on the
ground, with all the little things cleared out
of the way, by next year, and the path will be
open for an even better student life program.
And it’s going to have to be pretty good
to live up to the Academic council’s glowing
praise.
Just the Thing
A car dealer in Dallas advertises that he
is selling, “as a special bonus,” new cars
painted in “Southwest conference school col
ors.” Just the thing to give prospective ath
letes and brand-new graduates.
A maroon-and-white car might not be too
bad, but think of the poor University of Tex
as students—a bright orange car with white
trim.
