M-y^i . . . by James Earle I-1 Casting Stones A&M’s rush toward building a great ath letic empire was slowed down Saturday. Whether the action taken by the South west conference faculty committee was too severe or not, the entire proceedings were kept too much in the dark. As much as the former students and oth ers concerned might be to blame for the charge of illegal recruiting, the faculty com mittee is even more to blame for the star chamber procedures used in the case. If A&M is to be accused of wrong and penalized for this wrong, those of us who are vitally interested in A&M’s future should know who is accusing us and what specific sins we are charged with. As the great books says, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” A Good Job Civilian students at A&M not only saved their prestige, but they raised it with the healthy support given the Civilian weekend. The Civilian Council had taken a chance on this, the first of a planned annual event, feeling sure that the civilian students would support the weekend. And the council was right, as the specta tors watching the tug-o-war, the contestants in the beard growing and ugly man contest, and the good crowd at the dance proved. A job well done by the persons planning it, and an event well supported by the per sons for whom it was planned.

The win over Southern Methodist univer sity yesterday was a bright ray over the gloomy clouds brought by the penalty im posed upon athletics at A&M by the Confer ence faculty committee. The whole school will be backing the Ag gies as they take on the University of Ari zona team in the division playoffs for a berth in NCAA competition. Council Sets Study Of Insect Control THRU WEDNESDAY No Airplanes, Either Group Requests New Underpass The Accident Prevention com mittee, in closing up its activities for the year, has recommended a study of the possibility of an un derpass at the railroad crossing on the road to the veterinary hospital and the airport. An underpass at this crossing has been considered before, and the committee felt that increased traffic there because of the mov ing of all the veterinary facilities across the tracks made an under pass even more necessary. The committee, which is headed by Bennie Zinn and represents all phases of campus life, also rec ommended that “the college not allow any type of aircraft to land on the campus, except in an emer gency.” On fwo different occasions this year the committee’s report said, (See GROUP, Page 3) WAS $39.59 . . .

Party Honors CHS Graduates Two senior graduates of A&M Consolidated high school were hon ored at an afternoon party last week. Miss Jan Whiting and Miss Jean Adams were guests of honor at the party, which was given by Mrs. D. O. Anderson and her daughter, Margaret. The guest list was made up of close friends of the two girls. Mrs. I. G. Adams and Mrs. R. L. Whit ing assisted the hostesses. College Station Mayor Ernest Langford last night appointed a three-man committee consisting of Joe Sorrels, chairman; J. . C. Gaines, head of the entomology department; and L. E. Winder, city sanitation inspector, to study the city's present mosquito-spraying program and decide if the pro gram is worth continuing. The city now rents a spraying machine and an operator from Bryan. The council passed the new itin erate merchant ordinance which will require all merchants who are not residents of the city to post a $1,000 bond, secure a $50 license and give a 10-day notice before coming into the city. The ordinance will not recognize A&M students as residents, but it will not affect selling in the dor mitories, as these are under the control of the state. The ordinance does, however, re fer to the selling of merchandise at the North Gate street corners, and requires these people, includ ing students, to go through the licensing procedure. In other action, the council re zoned lots on Jersey street south west from Highland street to old highway 6, turning them into bus iness plots. The council also adop ted the proposal that the State of Texas would accept the costs of constructing the actual pavement, cui’bs, sewers, and sidewalks in front of the College, for widening highway 6, if College Station would pay for the remaining im provements.
