.i : 'i E The Battalion ...... College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Thursday, October 4, 1956 So Far, So Good The annual Corps evaluation has been completed and judging by the reaction of college officials, the findings are encouraging. ^ Designed and administered with complete objectivity, the survey showed definite signs of growing maturity in the Corps. Unit commanders were frank m telling ot violations in their units and were just as quick in giving their action taken to correct the situation. . ,, , , On the whole, their decisions showed serious thought was being given and their responsibility was not taken lightly. So it looks as if the Corps is off to a good start this year. If the attitude thus far maintained is continued, this year should be the most success! ul yet. But, if suddenly relieved to find we are doing a good job, we relax to the point of becoming lazy and neglectful, we not only lose what we have so tar, but slip back v hei e it will take even longer to reach the level we are on now. For the past two years, definite steps have been made to further the progress toward a more successful Corps. Now we seem closer than ever in reaching that goal. In order to continue this progress, we must continue to educate and set better and better examples for those who are to follow. One of the primary duties of a leader is that he leaves a man not only as good, but preferably better than he, to take his place.
