BULLETIN
James Bui'nis Koyms, freshman
geology major from Pasadena, died
at the swimming pool this morning.
He was pulled from the pool still
breathing about 11:30. Efforts to
revive him failed. Further details
were not immediately available.
The “T” will not be formed
again this year, according to Paul
Holladay, head yell leader. Due to
the practice reviews scheduled for

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

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:

affairs; Charley Richey, coaches;
Doug Von Gonten, operations; Cy
Johnston, military tickets; Hugh

cilities; and Ralph Cole, publicity.

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.

ities of the Boy Scouts.)
