Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1955 The Choice Is Ours Tomorrow is a big day around here. We’ve got generals coming to the campus. We’ve got Congressmen coming. We’ve got other military dignitaries coming here. And we’ve got a lot of football fans coming, too. * With a large crowd such as this comes the ordinary problems associated with such a body of people. This in cludes parking, eating, courtesy and a myriad of other inci dentals that are always blown up to larger than life size on such a weekend. And on this particular weekend we want to make a par ticularly good impression on some particularly important people. The administration of the .college is still hoping to get a special grant, which should be accorded to a military col lege, relative to uniform and subsistence allowances. And here for the Fall Military Day activities is the head of all ROTC units in the nation. We’re proud of how we act and look every‘day. But to morrow is going to be harder to act and look as we do on other days. Many factors—the huge crowd expected, the natural slight tenseness of an important affair, the excite ment of football, and others—could cause a little difficulty if we, as students and faculty members, let them. The impression we leave this weekend with all of our many visitors is going to depend upon each individual. It’s easy to think, “Well, my one little action is not going to hurt anything.” Alone, it might not. But a bad taste about A&M will be left in the mouths of our visitors when they talk about this weekend later—if everyone commits “that one little harmless action.” It’s like voting: You’re vote may not look like much in the midst of millions. But it’s the sum of all the single votes that elect our government officials. And in this case, it’s going to be the sum of all the in dividual courtesies or discourtesies that will leave the overall impression about our school. That impression—good or bad —is up to us. marks the beginning of a bright career*’* • • • * ••• • • • • • SEE YOUR PLACEMENT OFFICER w for INTERVIEW with BABCOCK & WILCOX ON NOVEMBER 10, 1955 DEGREES BOILER DIVISION TUBULAR PRODUCTS DIVISION REFRACTORIES DIVISION ATOMIC ENERGY DIVISION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Mechanical Engineering X X X X X Ceramics Engineering X X Chemical Engineering X X X X Civil Engineering X X Electrical Engineering X X Engineering Physicists X X Physicists X X Fuel Technologists X X Industrial Engineering X X X Metallurgical Engineering X X X X Metallurgists X X X X Business Administration and Engineering X X Chemists X X Nuclear Engineering X X All you need to start is background in one of the fields listed in the left-hand column above and a pen cil to check the activities you want to talk about when the B&W representative appears on your campus.
