Representatives for the “con” side have not yet been chosen, though Tom Upchurch and Bill Markley have appointed a committee to choose the team. Purpose of the debate, said Ross, a member of the Student Senate, is to provide the opportunity for each student to understand both “pro” and “con” views on the plan and to help each man reach his own de cision. In addition to the debate, a Corps freshman meeting is planned for 4 p.m. Tuesday to clear all as pects of the question to them. Three advantages and the same number of disadvantages are con nected with integration, according to Ross. The advantages he lists include: (1) It will help create closer understanding and unity among the Corps and Civilians; (2) integration at out-of-town games has worked without any difficul ties or ill effects in the past; (3) it would be easier for the Athletic Department to sell tickets since an other division of ducats would have to be made. Disadvantages of the plan ac cording to Ross are: (1) Unity of the Corps would be destroyed; (2) Civilian students would have to ed ucate themselves; (3) neither group as a ’whole, Civilian or Corps, thinks the other has fewer Aggie qualities; each group just wants to sit by themselves; At the same time the seating vote takes place, members of next year’s Student Publications Board will be elected. Two men Baxter E. (Pete) Hogue and Bill W. Libby, are Corps candidates, while John F. Avant and Van W. Redman Jr. are Civilian candidates.
