Extremely Disappointed
Yesterday’s punishment given 12 students for swinging
a broom was well commented upon by the commandant: “I
am extremely disappointed that these men would do such a
tiling to the Corps of Cadets.”
It is a mark against the entire Corps brought by a small
group of men who let themselves be carried away by the spir
it of the recent holidays. The Corps’ primary function is to
provide leaders—and for a man to be a leader he must be
aware of far more than just the immediate. He must look
to the far-reaching effects of every action he takes.
This breaking of the rules, another matter of concern
to leaders, shows none of the former idea of a punishment; it
was apparently done in a more jocular mood. But it still was
just as wrong. And the wrongness exists both in the break
ing of the rules and in the indignity, both to those who swung
and those who received, of such a barbaric custom as using
a board on grown men.
Cry out that it used to be a “tradition,” that “Old Army’s
gone to hell,” that “it’s the only way to keep freshmen and
sophomores in line”—any excuse one wishes to use. It’s
just no good ; the board, and the broom, are ruled out. And at
a school that is evolving with the modern world, it’s ruled out
for good.
Some may not like it this way, but the obligation is
there. It takes a real leader to fully assume his responsi
bilities.

A&M Selected To Red *ive
Radar Storm Detector It Set
A&M College has been selected
by the Air Force Air Research and
Development Command as the fii’st
college campus to be assigned a
production model of a new $200,000
radar set designed specifically foi
detection of storms. The arrival of
the new set was announced by Dr.
Myron G. H. Ligda, head of the
radar meteorology section of the
Department of Oceanography and
Meteorology.
The now radar has been loaned
by the ARDC to the A&M Research
Foundation to assist in the conduct
of research. The object is to in
crease the accuracy of weathei
forecasting by the use of radar
storm observations.
Embodying many of the newest
improvements in radar design, the
powerful set is similar to that cur
rently being installed at various
Air Force Air Weathei' Service
Stations both in the United States
and abroad.
Tentative plans call for installa
tion' of the observing console in
Goodwin Hall, which is now occu
pied by meteorologists of the De
partment of Oceanogra phX 6 , y and will
house the entire dcpartnuv -^nt in the
near future. At this loiJ-jgcation it
will be used both for reseat t rch work
and instruction of meteorof ogy stu
dents. The site of the 75 fa >ot tow
er on which the antenna vill be
mounted has not yet been j deter
mined.
