Extra Day Added
To Graduates Stay
By DAVE McREYNOLDS
For the information of the stu
dents who fail to read the “Offi
cial Notice” column in the classi
fied section you may be surprised
to learn that graduation ceremon
ies will be held on Saturday, May
25, this year instead of Friday,
May 24, as originally planned.
There are many reasons for the
Academic Council to recommend
this move and according to Carl
Tishler, chairman of the convoca
tions committee, the committee felt
the largest single reason was to
get all the ceremonies into one
day.
i'#“We have had numerous auto
mobile accidents following gradu
ations exercises in the past when
held Friday night,” he said.
“Thinking about the parents and
graduates we felt that it was an
undue strain on them, both on ac
count of the hot weather and the
expense of staying overnight for
the two-day ceremonies was un
just,” he said.
Graduating seniors sometimes
were required to sit through a bac
calaureate service Friday morn
ing, graduation Friday night and
then Saturday commissioning cere
monies and Final Review.
“Now we have what we think
is a better system,” Tishler said.
The baccalaureate and graduation
ceremonies will be held Saturday
morning at 9 a.m. This will be

followed by Commissioning exer

view at 3:30.
“This way families can make
the trip down on Saturday morn
ing, spend the day, then make the
trip home without having to make
arrangements for lodging over
night,” he said.
“The next move will be to set
up a system whereby the degrees
will be presented en masse, by
schools rather than have each in
dividual walk across the stage and
pick up his respective degrees,
Tishler said.
COUNCIL
(Continued from page 1.)
cil. He asked councilmen to urge
their consitituents to vote in every
student election.
“It is possible for a civilian stu
dent to hold every office on the
campus except the Corps represen
tative to the Student Publications
Board,” he said.
However he emphasized that he
was not trying to get either all
civilian or all Corps officers. He
said he mainly wanted to encourage
all students to vote.
John La Croix reported that the
Traditions Committee is ready to
start work on a civilian freshmen
program. He showed an outline
given him by Ray Hahn, Hart Hall
representative, which two students
in that dormitory had drawn up. La
Croix said he welcomed any and
all suggestions.
Charles Wilson, chairman of a
special committee working on a
dormitory constitution presented
the council with a document which
his committee had drawn up. Mem
bers were asked to look it over and
make recommendations at the next
meeting.
The Council set the date for its
annual banquet for May 3.

Letters to the Editor
Editor,
The Battalion;
For the past few weeks, there
has been a never-ceasing run of
letters condemning the ‘ Corps one
day and the Civilians the next. I
think that it is time for all this
nonsense to stop. It seems that
everyone is losing one of the main
objectives of Aggieland, and that
is to learn how to get along with,
and woi*k with, each other.
I came to A&M as a fi’eshman in
the Coxps in 1953 stayed in the
Corps thi’ough my sophomox*e year.
At this time I found it necessai*y to
di’op out of school for financial
x-easons.
I came back for the Spring se
mester last year and lived one se
mester as a non-reg in Walton
Hall. This year I am hack in the
Corps as a junior, in the Jocks.
I have seen both non-reg life and
Coi’ps life and will not attempt to
say that one is better than the
other. They ai*e both good and the
one reason that a man is in the
Cox'ps or out of the Coi*ps is by
choice or necessity. Many men
find it impossible to continue with
their Cox-ps life due to their cux*-
riculum.
The one point that I hope to

vancement of Science, Texas
Academy of Science, and many

make in this letter is that it is
past time to stop these deogatoxy
letters back and forth from the
non-regs and the Cox-ps. It is time
to do something about it.
I think that anyone can be per
suaded to follow eei*tain rules or
customs, if he knows why it exists,
and it is not crammed down his
thi'oat. Evex-y man has a right
to make his own decisions as long
as they don’t intex*fere with the
lights of others. We here at A&M
have a huge potential if we will
work together, and this can be
done only when there is no more
use for the terms non-reg and
Cox-ps when referring to two dif
ferent bodies.
We are all Aggies and if we
can get this thxough our thick
skulls, then we will have accom
plished something. I do not pre
tend to be an authority on A&M,
or on anything, for that mattex*,
but it does not take a genius to
see what makes the student body
a totally uncoordinated mess.
If The Battalion sees fit to
publish this, make what changes
you see fit, but I am not supposed
to be a journalist, that’s your job.
