Attention Senators
Student Senate President Larry Piper has urged all stu
dent senators to attend tonight’s Senate meeting.
According to Piper, tonight’s meeting will be one of the
more important ones of the year.
A new plan for distribution of football tickets among
students will be discussed as will a general plan on campus
beautification which includes the problem of keeping foot
paths off the drill field.
On the topic of football tickets, Joe Ross will tell of how
other schools have drawings among the student body for re
serve seats. A progress report on the student insurance
plan will be given too.
Since the stadium seating during football season has
always been a problem, Ross’s report may bring some new
ideas.
Some Senators will not be able to attend because of the
new flight training program which will keep them busy most
of the evening.
But the need for attendance definitely exists for all
those who can possibly get to the meeting.
It isn’t too late in the year for plans to be made and put
into execution. Enough time remains for all of the dreams
and goals of the Senators to be functioning when classes be
gin in September.
A weak attendance record is a poor way for the Senate
to end the year especially after they have shown so much
interest and zeal up until recently.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
by Dick Bibler
HISTORY DOCTOR
(Continued from Page 1)
Kinney, Hill’s boyhood hometown.
He finished the high school there
at an early age and went off to
Austin College in Sherman, Tex.
Austin College, Presbyterian spon
sored, was just getting started as
a coed institution after being an
all boys school for many years.
“There wei’e only four or five
girls there when I was there, and
often when they would walk about
the campus the boys would whistle.
Boys are just about the same now
as they were then,” he says re
calling the “roaring twenties.”
Hill was graduated from Austin
College with a B. A. degree and
took his first job teaching at
Marshall Junior College.
“I’d teach a while and then go
back to college some more, just like
most teachers did,” he explains.
Through this in-and-out method,
he got A. B. and M. A. degrees
from the University of Texas and
finally his Ph. D. from the Uni
versity of California.
He was instructor and associate
professor at the University of
Texas and came to A&M in 1946.
Here he has been assistant to the
Dean of Arts and Sciences and has
done a lot of woik with students.
Having just about as much
humor as his medium-height frame
will hold, chuckling, he tells why
Aggies beat TU in football last
fall:
“Well, I’ve got a bilingual
parakeet. And long about midway
of the half this parakeet chirped
‘Beat Texas’.
Among his hobbies is writing for
scholarly journals, on the sub
ject in which he is an expert,
medieval history.
But it would require almost a
book to tell of all my hobbies, he
says. “That’s because I’m a jack-
of-all-trades and good at none,” he
laughingly drawls.
“There’s one thing you can’t
claim,” jokes Dr. Ralph Steen, head
of the History Department. “The
Battalion has already said that
I’m the best lecturer in the de
partment, so that takes away that
possibility.”

Clark Says Law of Force
Is Hope of a Free World
The one common denomin
ator to lasting peace is force
of law, not law of force, Asso
ciate Justice Tom Clark of the
U.S. Supreme Court, said last
night at the Great Issues program.
Speaking to a crowded house in
the Memorial Student Center Ball
room he went on to say, “It has
been the touchstone of civilization
through the ages. It is common
language from Runnymeade in 1215
to Mechlenberg in 1775 and on to
Philadelphia in 1787—the clarion
call of justice that all peoples —
kings or serfs—are under God and
law,” he declared.
“None of us can escape the con
sequences of world actions today.
The satellite—‘vanguard’—our first
outer space rocket, will be cata
pulted next year. At an altitude
of 300 miles it will circle the world
every 90 minutes. A jet plane car
