Giro Lampassas Circulation Staff Battalion Editorials Page 2 WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1955 The Proper Spirit Without doubt, every student at A&M appreciated the school administration’s gesture in turning out classes at 11 yesterday morning so that every one could attend the ball game. The spirit the holiday was given in should not be for gotten by students, however. The baseball team had just won the conference championship, and the administration, sensing the need of students to really “let their hair down,” wisely made an entirely agreeable decision. But, this holiday provides no prerogative for students to take just any circumstance as an excuse for a holiday. The semester is almost over, and now is the time for all to settle down and work. How students will behave now that the holiday is over probably will influence any future administrative action under similar circumstances.
