Welcome, FFA
Tomorrow A&M will have the privilege of acting as
host for 1,100 Future Farmers of America from all over the
state. The boys will be competing for outstanding judging
teams in Texas.
This opportunity is one of many afforded these young
men who have aspirations to feed the country’s millions in
future years. No amount of work and planning should be
overlooked in training .them to be the kind of farmers our
nation needs.
Someone has said that no organization for young men
besides the Boy Scouts does a better job of building better
citizens than the FFA.
Whether or not this is true depends largely on efforts
such as are being made tomorrow and similar efforts being
made throughout the FFA program.
Welcome to Aggieland, Future Farmers! We’re proud
to aid in your training and progress in the field of agricul
ture.
Learn the Issues
Wednesday has been set as the date for voting on wheth
er or not Corps and Civilian students will be seated together
in reserved seats at Kyle Field.
Student senators have planned what seems to be a good
method of getting over to students just what the issues are
in the plan, yet probably few students will appear at the
debate scheduled in G. Rollie White Cloiseum, Tuesday at
5 p.m. to find out what they’ll be voting for.
If such debates as this and publication of the issues
don’t increase student interest in campus issues and activi
ties, what will?
It’s time to end an apparent feeling of indifference on the
part of many students. An individual who doesn’t attend
this debate or find out in some way what the issues are will
be the one who is absent from the polls. When the votes
are counted and he doesn’t like the outcome, his cries will be
loud and long.
The only way to avoid such happenings and actually
“pitch in” with interest is for every Aggie to make a spe
cial effort to learn the issues and in turn vote his convictions.

“We will need at least 2,250 stu
dents buying the policy to make
it go over,’ said Joe David Ross,
chairman of the Insurance Com
mittee. “But I believe many more
than that will take advantage of
the plan.”
Exact benefits of the policy in
clude $1,000 for accidental death,
$1,000 dismemberment (100% bene
fits including permanent total dis
ablement) and $500 or $1,000 med
ical reimbursement. The fee of
$3.15 includes all taxes and may
be paid before, or at registration
for the fall semester.
Debate and election plans for in
tegration and reserved seating for
football games next fall was also
discussed at length by Senate mem
bers. A debate is to held next
Tuesday at 5 p.m. in G. Rollie

Three A&S Awards
Planned Monday
Three faculty members of the
School of Arts and Sciences will
re c e i v e Faculty Appreciation
Awards at the Monday meeting of
the Arts and Sciences Council, ac
cording to W. H. Delaplane, dean.
The names of the three men will
not be announced until the Monday
meeting of the council, he said.
Presentation of keys to each of
the council members will also take
place at the meeting. Further Op
en House Plans will be discussed if
the council members deem it neces
sary.

ogy. i •«
senting both the “pro” and “con”
sides of the integration question
will debate to give students a
chance to know what they are vot
ing for.
According to Joe David Ross, a
member of the “pro” integration
team, two questions will be dis
cussed in the debate. The first
question is whether or not seats
should be reserved for students and
the second is, if the seats are re
served, should the seating arrange
ment be integrated to include both
Corps and Civilian students.
Ross stressed that just because
a student voted for reserved seat
ing, It did not mean the seating
would be integrated. The reserved
seating plan and integration plans
are two separate questions.
John Specht and Ross will lead
the cause for reserved seating and
integration in the debate. Both
are senior Senators. The leaders
to oppose them have not been ap
pointed as yet.
After a discussion on whether
a student who is not a member of
the senate should be allowed to
debate on each team, senators voted
against it, 13-11.
Piper invited all students to
hear the debate. He said he felt
is was better that the debate par
ticipation was confined to Senate
members.
“We are interested in showing
the students what we have tried to
do and how we feel about the mat
ter, and I think they should see the
senators they selected argue the
case,” Piper said.
The student election next Wed
nesday in the Memorial Student
Center will determine the seating
and integration question. The de
bate is to give students a better
idea of just what they are voting
for and the good and bad points
of each side of the question.

Agriculture, contrary to common
belief, is not just farming and
ranching, reported student mem
bers of the Agricultural Council
here. They say agriculture is a
science, a business, a profession
and an industry which needs 15,000
new college graduates each year
in the eight major fields of agri
culture.
These fields include agricultural
research, industry, business, educa
tion, communications, conservation
services and farming and ranch
ing.

Pointing out that a college grad
uate earns $72,00 more in his life
time than the average high school
graduate, the council said that be
cause of the huge number of work
ers needed in agriculture, the field
was one of the best in which to
seek ones’ fortune.
“We feel a student, upon com
pletion of a major field of study
in agriculture, is capable of under
standing and solving the ever ris
ing problems in an ever expanding
field of agriculture,” said the coun
cil.
lege by high school students is that
all their time is spent in classrooms
and theory. This is not true, es
pecially for students in the Animal
Husbandry Department at A&M.
AH students take an active part
in actual work in all of the rrfany
phases of breeding, feeding, man
agement and marketing through
facilities of the AH Department.
They become thoroughly acquain
ted with all classes and types of
livestock.
Some’ of these-phases of • study
in the depai'tment are slaughter
ing and cutting carcasses, repro
duction with complete training in
artificial, insemination, marketing
and handling facilities, livestock,
meat and wool judging and man
agement—production practices.
: Teaching is done by outstanding
leaders in agriculture using up-to-
date facilities. Classes and prac
tice work is done in the Animal In
dustries Building which is equipped
with a Meats Laboratory, and at
the different animal centers on the
college farm.
All of the work is not actual
schoolwork. There are many acti
vities in the A H Department such
as the Saddle and Sirloin Club. The
Saddle and Sirloin Club is the
organization on the college cam
pus. It sponsors many activities
including the All Aggie Rodeo, bar
becues, the Cattleman’s • Ball, the
Little Southwestern Livestock
Show and Ham Sale, . and meats
and wool judging’ teams. It also
'exhibits livestock at major shows
throughout the State.
Many of the Saddle and Sirloin
members are hired to'assist super
visors of the big livestock shows
each year. This and the Little
Southwestern Livestock Show give
AH students an opportunity to be
come qualified livestock show man
agers.
The various judging teams which
are made up of club members trav
el more than 15,000 miles each
year to compete in national con
tests with expenses paid by the
club. Places the teams enter in
clude Denver, Chicago, Kansas
City, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth
and on other college campuses.
Outstanding ranches across the
country are visited while students
are on these trips.
Students and professors of the
Animal Husbandry Department
wish to welcome you to the cam
pus and will be most happy to show
you the facilities and answer any
of your questions.
A&M’s Collegiate FFA Chapter

quet last night in the Maggie
