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.

Congratulations are due the A&M base
ball team for their brilliant showing in the
conference race this year.
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.

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,

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.
