ATTENTION—Ballard receives his first taste of military life on his first day in College
Station. He is a member of D Infantry, commanded by Ken Kuykendall. Freshmen have
been working hard trying to learn the Aggie way of life before upperclassmen invade the
campus Saturday. Besides attending lectures, taking tests and learning Aggie customs
and traditions, the new students have been drilling before each meal formation.
Constructions tarts
On Sewage System
The Texala construction Co. of
Houston began excavations for the
new $350,000 City of College Sta
tion Sewer system, Monday, and
R. B. Butler Inc. of Bryan began
construction of the accompanying
sewage disposal plant Wednesday.
When completed, the new system
will alow the city residents to by
pass septic tanks and to connect
house sewers directly to the mains.
Before now sewage has been dump
ed into several local creeks, some
of them within the city limits.
Both of the contracts call for
completion of the project in 200
calendar days from Monday, Sept.
12.
Two main lines will be construct
ed with branches connecting to the
present system. Line “A” will ex
tend northwest from the plant,
which is located three and one-
half miles east of the city ceme
tery, making a right angle turn to
intersect Highway 6, and from
there extending to its end behind
Consolidated High School.
Line “B” will cross Highway 6 at
the city cemetery and extend to
College Park and West College
Park.
Ran Boswell, city manager of
College Station, stressed that the
north part of the town will not be
affected by the measure, as the
city has a contract with the city of
Bryan for sewage disposal in that
section of the city. A&M College
is also unaffected by the measure,
as the college has had its own
sewage disposal system for many
years.

WHAT IS IT?—That’s what the photographer thought
when he crawled down into a 15-foot deep sewer line
trench to take this picture. This is part of the city’s new
sewer line, which will be finished in about 200 days. One
word of advice, don’t ever try to get a picture of a sewer
line when there’s a trench digging machine around.
Costs $30,000
Changes in Buildings, Landscape
Returning students to A&M Col
lege will find quite a few changes
in the old appearance of some of
the landscaping and buildings.
About $30,000 has been spent
during the summer months as part
of the sidewalking and landscaping
plans which began two years ago
in the Academic Building area.
The aim of this plan is to carry
out a long range campus beautifi
cation program, to include side
walks, parking areas, landscaping,
trees and shrubs for the entire
campus.
The sidewalks and entrance
areas of Guion Hall have been re
surfaced and a 10-foot walk has
been placed on the east side of the
drill field. Sidewalks have been
laid on the east side of the M'SC,
where walking traffic prevents a
planting program.
Four parking lots are being pre
pared south of White Coliseum and
larger parking areas will be open
ed to football crowds.
Sbisa Hall will be ready for use
soon, following its face lifting plan
started two years ago.
Last year, a new red tile floor
was added and di’aperies were
hung. This year, principal changes
include installation of a new lower
acoustical ceiling with recessed
lights; aluminum doors; new vent
ilation system which produces a
complete change of air in the main
dining room every two minutes;
and a new multiple speaker public
address system with microphone
connections spaced around the hall
for use of banquet speakers and
dance bands.

Students holding Advanced ROTC con
tracts who desire to satisfy only the mini
mum requirement for graduation in their
respective curricula are reminded that the
deans of the degree-granting schools have
authority to substitute an equivalent air or
military science course for a course pre
scribed for a degree in the several curricula
of their schools except as a course is pre
scribed by legislative action. Such stu
dents are advised to consult the dean of
their school since no substitution can be
made official without notice to the Reg
istrar’s Office by the dean..

AMERICAN HISTORY REQUIREMENT
The attention of the faculty and stu
dents Is called to Senate Bill 254, 54th
Legislature, which reads as follows:
Section 1. No person after July 1,
1956, shall be granted a baccalaur
eate degree of any kind from any in
stitution of higher learning supported
or maintained by the State of Texas,
or from any Junior college receiving
state aid. except that he or she has
taken and passed six semester hours In
American History provided that any
student shall have the option, at his
or her request, to substitute three sem
ester hours of Texas History for three
of the six semester hours in American
History required by the terms of this
Act.
Section 2. The provisions of this
Act are in addition to existing laws re
quiring the teaching of state and fed
eral Constitutions in state supported
colleges and universities In Texas.
Section 3. The fact that recent sur
veys have disclosed a disturbing lack
of knowledge and appreciation of the
facts and significance of American
history, with its bearings on the pres
ent and Implications for the future,
creates an emergency and an impera
tive public necessity that the Constitu
tional Rule requiring bills to be read
on three several days In each House be
suspnded; and such Rule is hereby sus
pended, and this Act shall be in force
and effect from and after its passage,
and it is so enacted.
By action of the Executive Committee of
the Academic Council, all curricula which
do not include this requirement, or only
partially include it, are herewith amended
to include it for all students who are to
receive their degrees after July 1, 1956.
In these curricula the additional hours need
ed to satisfy the requirement will replace
an equivalent number of elective hours.
The total number of semester hours re
quired for the degree remains unchanged.
Two sequences of courses offered by this
Institution meet the requirement of the law
—(1) History 105 and 106 (History of the
United States), and (2) History 325
(Trends in American History) and History
326 (History of Texas), this last to be
offered beginning with the spring semester
of 1956. Students who have completed
three or more semesters of college work
before registering for courses in American
History are advised to schedule History
325 and 326.

have eig-ht-chair tables with coral
red formica tops and non-tilting
laminated natural wood chairs. The
window archwork has been rebuilt
and the window length fiber drap
ing added. Oak plywood wainscot
ing applied with an electronic
woodwelder has been installed and
new men’s and women’s lounges
have been built.
The painting of dormitories has
continued during the summer
months with the painting of Dor
mitories 14-17. The college plans
to carry out the painting of these
dorms each summer as long as stu
dents take care of them during win
ter months.
Numerous trees and shrubs have
been planted over the campus and
grass has been seeded on the main
drill field in front of the MSG. It
is hoped the Senior Class will make
sure everyone stays off the grass
to give it time to catch hold and
become another of A&M’s success
ful improvements.
liam L. McGill, State coordinator,
and Miss Mattie Treadwell, region
al deputy administrator are two of
the speakers slated for the con
vention.
Workshops will be conducted on
welfare services, health, emergen
cy mass care, the school’s role in
civil defense, youth participation
and registration, information and
communications.
An evacuation center will be set
up in Hensel Park Thursday for a
mock rescue. Demonstrations in
mass feeding, medical care, com
munications, first-aid, rescue, ra
diological monitoring, and other
aspects of emergency relief are
planned.
