Colonel Andy gets his talent from the 100 hoys who fill every locker in the Aggie dressing room year after year.

An event winner received a full scholarship the following year, with a second-place finisher get ting four-fifths, and so on. “I didn’t believe in going out and recruiting high school stars and giving them a four-year ticket through A&M when I had boys on my squad who had developed to where their times were as good as the high school performers,” Anderson has made v clear to ob servers many times. “It’would have split my team wide open if I used my scholar ships to bring in high school boys while men on my traveling squad (See COL ANDY, Page 5) The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas* Friday, May 24, 1957 PAGE 3 Letters to the Editor (Continued from Page 2) on our past glory or shall we try to progress towards a better edu cational institution?

Driskell Editor, The Battalion It seems that in the past few days there has been quite an issue raised on the question of compul sory or non-compulsory Corps. It is not the intent of my letter to voice an opinion on this con troversial question but to express a feeling that has long been in my mind and I am sure, one that has been in the minds of other Aggies and profs. I hereby cast my vote for a co-educatiqnal A&M College, for the betterment of this school and the furthering of education at this college.
