Life at A&M
An Aggie Wife’s Viewpoint
By MRS. M. C. GRENWELGE
Ed. Note: Mrs. Grenwelge is
the wife of Max Grenwelge,
class of ’57, and wrote this story
originally as a Letter to the Edi
tor. The thoughts she expresses,
and the experiences that we feel
must be very similar to those of
other Aggie wives, made us de
cide to give her story better play.
She and other wives play a big
part in getting their husbands
through college, and deserve rec
ognition for their fine job.
A plaque has been presented to

I’ve read every paper that A&M
has published and I think that they
are wonderful. In this way my
husband and I learn what the stu
dent body likes and dislikes.
So here is an Aggie wife’s view
point of life at Texas A&M Col-
lege: ,
When we came to this school we
were out to “rake a degi’ee under
our hat.” Little did we know about
saving, cutting corners and when
to slow down, but I can tell you
now. I know when to stop, look—
NEW KIWANIS PRESIDENT—Charles LaMotte receives

and keep the baby quiet—’cause
hubby has to study.
When a couple gets married and
comes to college, the best wedding
present she could receive would be
a cook book—“1,001 Ways to Cook
Hamburger.” Oh, but it is fun not
to plan a meal—as long as you
know how many packages of ham
burger meat ara left. On Sundays
we usually have roast, but by then
we’re so tised to hamburger meat
that we really like it.
College is wonderful, for it
teaches you to save, to cut down
on grocery bills; and how to go to
a movie and really enjoy it. I re
member when we used to go to see
a movie just because we had noth
ing else to do. Now it is a rteat
to go.
Some Aggies (single) feel that
they couldn’t make out being mar
ried at college. Well, look around,
friends, and . you’ll find about 430
couples in the same boat. I know
there are times when I think that
“if we could just get a good job, or
if we had some money. . .” Really,
though, we don’t need anymore
than we have now; all of the Ag
gies’ wives will agree. You can
suffer it out together; and, just
think—someday when that degree
is handed to you, you can leave
here, knowing how to live on about
$160 per month. Just look what
you can save.

WASHINGTON — Eisenhower
administration leaders agreed yes
terday to push for quick congres
sional action on the farm problem.
They talked also of the need to
get started on a big highway con
struction effort. Democrats, who
control Congress have also shown
a desire to get going with farm
legislation. Chairman Ellender
(D-La) called his Senate Agricul
ture Committee to meet wi#i Sec
retary Benson Thursday morning
and with representatives of farm
org-anizations Thursday afternoon.
The House Agriculture Commikitee
went to work in a preliminary
meeting yesterday.
Twelve A&M .students have been suspended, effective
at the end of the current semester, and 24 more given an
official reprimand for violating college regulations on physi
cal hazing. All of the 36 students fhvolved in the incident
were members of Squadron 10.
The 3 2 students were reduced to the rank of private,
suspended as of Dec. 15, 1955, removed from Squadron 10 and
Dormitory 6 was placed off limits to them. The suspension
was suspended, pending good behavior, to allow the students
to finish this semester’s work. They will not be allowed to
return in the 1956 spring semester. The students ranked
from corporal to first sergeant.
♦ The violation occurred on
Dec. 15, when students g’ot to
g-ether for some “Christmas
spirit licks” with a broom be
fore leaving - for the holidays
two days later. Twenty freshmen
involved in the incident were given
an official reprimand by the com
mandant, having in the eyes of the
Military Panel been given no choice
in the matter. Seven sophomores
also i*eceived an official reprimand.
All of the students involved
faced Military Panel yesterday.
Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant,
concurred with the Panel’s recom
mendations after discussing it with
the students.
“I am extremely disappointed
that these men would do such a
thing to the Corps of Cadats,” Col.
Davis said.

of pre-school children.
During the intermission, J. T.

ing the dance.
Of the 12 students suspended,
seven were juniors. Twelve soph-
omers in the unit had a broom used
on them and five swung it the
other seven had “no desire” to
swing the broom. No seniors were
involved or knew anything about
the matter, Col. Davis said.
Squadron 10 was investigated
earlier in the year after reports
that personal service existed in the
unit. The new squadron command
er is Richai-d Gentry, senior phy
sics major from Dallas.
This is the first such incident
disco vei-ed during the current
school year.
