Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1955 Needs Discussion An interesting point was brought up at last night’s meeting of the Civilian Student Council. This was the idea, or is it a dream, of setting up the main drill field as strictly a “Parade Grounds.” Whether it is possible for another place to be found for the Thursday afternoon drill periods will, of course, play an important part in determining what happens to the idea of “A&M’s Parade Grounds.” And another important role will be played by the Student Senate, to whom the letter of recommendation is being sent to the Civilian Student Council. The main reason given by Council members for wanting to see the drill sessions removed from the drill field is for the sake of consistency. Civilian students are asked not to walk across the grass, yet each Thursday they see the mili tary exercises being held there. Under such circumstances, it is hard not to say, “Well, I can do it if they can.” A Parade Grounds, set aside for just that purpose, would be a valuable asset to A&M. It would also be the only possible hope of building enough respect in students for the area to keep them from trailing across it instead of using the new sidewalk. Many problems are presented by the action taken by the civilian group—but the problems will be worth the trouble if something can be done about keeping students off the grass. The biggest problem, and probably the only reason that the drill Held is not reserved already only for reviews, is that of where will the Thursday sessions be held. The solution of this is going to require about the same action as that which will have to be taken to solve the prob lem of parking at A&M. We’re going to have to encroach on a few more areas presently set aside for other uses. It is to be hoped that when the letter from the Civilian Council is brought before the Senate it will be carefully con sidered. And when, or if, the matter is brought to the attention of the Military Department, we hope that it will be received as an honest attempt to rectify a bad situation—not an at tempt by civilian students to rationalize themselves out of walking a few extra yards.

Band Boosters Sponsor CHS Carnival Oct. 29 Tigers Play Bobcais Tonighi Home In Toss-Up- Game By MAURICE OLIAN CHS Sports Correspondent A&M Consolidated’s Tigers will be out to snap a three game losing streak tonight against the tough Cypress- Fairbanks at 8 p.m. on Tiger Field. • The game is rated a toss-up, with both teams owning rather un impressive season records. Con solidated goes into the contest with a 1-4 won-lost mark for the year, while the Bobcats sport a 1-3-1 record. Consolidated lost to the Magno lia Bulldogs, 21-6, last week} and Cypress-Fairbanks tied Tomball 7-7 in a defensive battle. Tom ball is in CHS’s distract. At least three of the Tigers top players will miss the Bobcat battle because of injuries and illness. Lar ry Leighton, Alton Arnold and Bobby Witcher make up CHS’s growing disabled list. Halfback Bill Hall, one of the Tiger regulars, may not be ready for action against Cypress-Fair banks. Starters for Consolidated tonight include left end Don Vaughn, left tackle Dick Hickman, left guard Garland Andrews, center Steadman Davis, right guard Jack McNeely, rights tackle Ed Linton and right end Manuel Garcia in the forward wall. Freshman quarterback Edgar Feldman directs the Tiger’s T-for- mation. Wayne Thompson starts at left halfback, and Hall at right half. Bill Kavanaugh, 165-pound sophomore line blaster, holds down the fullback post. Defensive changes for the Tigers find Bob Johnson going in for Feldman, and A1 Linton or John Beaty taking over for Andrews. Bill Hite and Norman Floeck will also see plenty of defensive action. Job Calls A&M Consolidated High School Band Carnival will open with “fun and frolic” on the CHS campus Oct. 29 at 6 p.m., according to Dr. Luther Jones, president of the Band Boosters Club. Everyone is invited to attend the gala occasion which is sponsored annually by the Band Boosters to help pay for uniforms and other equipment used by the Consolidated Tiger Band. The carnival will feature a mid way with games, sideshows and rides for the youngsters. Supper will be served. Two feature attractions of the carnival will be a puppet show, presented by Miss Doris Jones and a show by Magician Dean Duncan. Co-chairmen for the event are Civilians (Continued from Page 1) self), Parham said the civilian stu dents would get more room, and that the seating rules would be more strictly enforced. He said that an attempt would be made to keep non-students, except student wives and dates holding- date tick ets, out of. the reserved areas. Walking across the drill field by civilian and Corps students came in for heated discussion among Council members. After several minutes of lively discussion, the Council voted to send a letter to the Student Senate asking them to inquire with the Military Science Department about the possibility of having Thursday drill moved. This move was recommended be- cause the council felt that civilian students would be more likely to respect the drill field as a “parade grounds” than they do now when they see the Corps students using it for practice drills. The last item brought up at the meeting was the reading of a let ter from Bennie Zinn, head of stu dent affairs, recommending that the Council members both encour age and act themselves in helping maintain order and preventing trouble during the Corps Trip this weekend. Mrs. J. B. Baty and Mrs. J. H. Quisenberry. The two women term ed the carnival as a project fropi which the entire community will benefit.
