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.

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.
Other attractions at the carnival
will include games under supervi
sion of the Lions and Kiwanis
Clubs, palm reading, a photography
booth operated by Dr. Charles La-
Motte, an art show and a spook
walk.
A “Country Store” will be oper
ated by Mrs. Stanley Avera, Mrs.
J. Skrivanek and Mrs. Walter Vgr-
vel, movies will be shown by Dr.
and Mrs. W. N. Williamson.
