The “T” will not be formed again this year, according to Paul Holladay, head yell leader. Due to the practice reviews scheduled for this week, the Corps would not have time to practice for the form ing of the “T”, he said. This is the third straight year that the “T” has not been formed by the student body. Hearing Held On Charges For Space in Aggieland Conflicting opinions, held sway at yesterday’s meeting of the Student Publications Board as a three-man delegation from the Corps met with the Board members to protest the new space rate charges for the Aggieland. The furor revolved around a move by the Publications Board during the summer which provided for space charges for all campus organizations which have dues, charge admis sions or have an appropriate other source of income. The new ruling especially affects ROTC units, civilian dorms and intercollegiate sports. The action was taken following the' completion of a 100-school survey on the procedure followed by other schools in charging for space in yearbooks. Survey returns from 26 schools comparable in size to A&M showed that 13 charge civilian dorms, 13 charge Corps units, and seven charge athletics. At yesterday’s discussion between the Board and the Corps delegation, headed by Corps Commander Lar ry Kennedy, William Holloway and Harold Sellers, the issue revolved around the justification of such a charge for Corps units. Kennedy presented two notes, one signed by Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant, and the other signed by himself and several of his top staff men, expressing the feeling that the charge was unjustified and ex pressing their disapproval of the charge. At the opening of the meeting Ross Strader, director of Student Publications, presented, in mimeo graphed form with an oral explana tion, some facts about the Aggie land and about the new charging system. Because in the past only 99 clubs and organizations were paying for space, the Board, to make the charges more consistent, installed the new rule by a unanimous deci sion. At the same time the old rates were reduced from $55 to $50 per page and from $35 to $30 per half page. To avoid putting an unfair share of the • cost on the Athletic Department, Strader said, a multiple page rate was provided. This rate is $50 each for the first two pages, $45 each for the next four pages, and $30 each for each additional page. KENNEDY QUESTIONED the Board as to why the Corps of Ca dets could not get this “package deal,” which would allow some re duction in cost. Strader answered that the Athletic Department, if they go along with the new charges, will get their section as (See AGGIELAND, Page 2) 12th Man Bowl Decision Split On Who Plays The 12th Man Bowl Com mittee handed a split decision to the Student Life Commit tee yesterday on the issue of who will play in this year’s 12th Man Bowl Game. The committee met in the office of C. G. (Spike) White, of the Stu dent Activities Department, to de cide the handling of this year’s battle and immediately ran into a snag. Two motions were passed with little debate but when the problem of deciding whether or not the Army would play the Air Force, as in previous years, or whether the Corps would play the Civilians the meeting was dead locked. After a heated debate between civilian and the Corps students, a vote of 4-4 was taken. The Com mittee voted to place the recom mendation before the SLC as it stood. The date and time and length of the quarters was decided and the game will be played on Kyle Field Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. Quarters will be eight minutes. The meeting was presided over by Glenn Buell, chairman, and the following committeemen were pres ent: Lt. Col.

Not quite a year ago, Vic Eh- lers was hired by Brazos County for a unique experiment. His title was to be Brazos County Youth Counselor and Probation Officer. The experiment was to prove if a program combining the two ser vices was practical. Today Ehlers and his depart ment can point with pride to the past six month’s work. On Feb. 1, 1955, the Brazos County Youth Development Committee became a formal organization. In.the last six months, 47 chil dren have received direct or indi rect help, 14 direct counseling cases, nine consultations and 24 probation cases. Most of the coun seling cases were directed to the Committee by schools, but several came of their own accord. Most of the probation cases were referred by law enforcement offi cers since most of them were burg laries. The Committee retains the ser vices of a practicing psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist one day out of each month for needed con sultations. The Committee was unable to get their request for funds to the city council in time to have it included in the College Station budget for this year, so they asked the Chest for the entire $600 needed from College Station. The Chest alloted them $300 and recommended that they apply to the City Council for the remaining $300 to be included in the next budget.
