Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, September 15, 1955 New Student Rights Respected, Morgan Says Every student has rights which are to be respected. Dr. David H. Morgan, president of the college, tpld the class of ’59 at the annual Welcome address Monday night in The Grove. No officer or student shall vio late those rights, he told more than 1,700 students gathered for the occasion. “All development does not come from classrooms,” he said, “but extra-curricula activities develop a student into a well rounded indi vidual.” Morgan said this group is par ticularly important — “A&M stu dent life is dependent on this class; as you go through, look for changes which will help A&M.” Morgan gave a brief discussion of the college and its departments. A&M is one of seven military col leges and is “outstanding,” he said. “We hope you will go through this week and decide you are here because you want to be here and not because an uncle or cousin wanted you here,” said Morgan. “If there is a feeling of resent ment, its not our fault.” About 91.4 per cent of the fresh men enrolled have signed up for ROTC, Morgan said. Morgan then read parts of the basic policy of the college. One quote is that a student has the privilege of the best use of his time toward an education. C. H. Ransdell, acting dean of the Basic Division, served as mas ter of ceremonies. Engineer Dean Takes Over New Position A&M’s new Dean of Engi neering, Dr. John C.
