“Many questions have been raised
concerning- the recent ruling by the
Board of Directors that military
training will be required of enter
ing students beginning with the
fall of 1958,” President M. T. Har
rington said today.
“It seems quite clear that the
Board of Directors has established
this ruling so that futui-e students
of A&M College shall have both
strong military and strong aca
demic training.
"The ruling regarding required
military training applies only to
students entering with freshman
classification in September 1958
and thereafter. These students, ac
cording to the Board ruling, will
have military training as a part of
their required curriculum for two
years. (The Board has already
adopted the policy that military
training is synonymous with life
in the Corps of Cadets.)
“Therefore, only those students

MY CLOSEST SHAVE
by Pat Flaherty
1956 Indianapolis Speedway Winner
“My closest shave was at Indianapolis in 1953,” saysf
Bat Flaherty, 1956 Indianapolis winner. “The track
temperature that day hit 125° and the exhaust fumes
hung right down on the speedway. I was going into the
north turn at 130 mph when the fumes got me. I
blacked out, hit the outside concrete fence, and
skidded along for 120 feet. The car was demolished,
my helmet was torn off, my safety belt broke —but I
didn’t break a single bone 1”

30 semester hours of completed
credits as freshmen. Students hav
ing 30 or more semester hours of
completed credit are classified
sophomores or higher and thus
would be exempt from this require
ment.
“Another part of the ruling
states: Tn order to remain in the
Corps of Cadets a student must
remain a 1.0 grade point ratio on
his academic work through the
previous semester/ This seems
quite clear. This rule will also go
into effect September 1958. It will
apply to all students in the Corps
of Cadets.
“According to our interpretation,
the Commandant will be required
by this ruling to separate any stu
dent from the Corps regardless of
class or rank in the Corps if his
accumulative academic grade point
ratio drops below 1.0 at the end
of any semester. Readmission to the
Corps could only be granted after
the student has improved his aca
demic performance to the point
where his over-all academic ratio at
the end of a given semester is 1.0
or above and then only with the
approval of the Commandant.
“Students who are dropped from
the Corps because of academic
deficiencies will- be considered to
have fulfilled the military training
requirement and will not be held
for courses in military science.”

ARMY, WHAT IS AGGIELAND TO YOU?
Aggie!and means many different things to many
different people. To some it is the place they met their
lifetime friends and received their formal education,
to others it is the place they learned how to be a man
and to get along with their fellow man.
Although Aggieland may have a special meaning
for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that
Fightin’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The
Twelfth Man when we didn’t yell loud enough.
Army, when we go home after these finals let’s
throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud
to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the
heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with
Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us.

Recent legislation has affected

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Westport's “Mr. Telephone Company”
The Westport, Connecticut, office of
Southern New England Telephone Com
pany is managed by John F. Lehr, A.B.,
Yale, ’52. In Westport, John is “Mr.
Telephone Company.”
“This job has everything,” John says;
“responsibility, independence, a chance
to contribute to the community as well
as the company. I have 8600 accounts
in my office, and every one of those ac
counts is a person who has to be pleased
with our telephone service. I’m in close
contact with the town officials, and take
part in many civic activities. Needless
to say, it’s a very interesting assignment.
“How I happened to choose a career
with the telephone company tells you
something about the business. After a
dozen or so interviews with various
firms, I picked the telephone company
because it offered two things I was look
ing for—immediate opportunity, andj
long-range opportunity, too.
“You see, I was married in my senior
year at college, so I wanted a career
where I could start with a good salary,
and get the training I’d need to advance
in the shortest possible time. That’s what
I wanted immediately.
“The rapid expansion of the telephone
business assured me of the long-range
opportunities, because that expansion is
creating more and more management
positions to be filled. In fact, here I am,
Manager in Westport, after only five
years in the company. I don’t know of
another business where you can find
more opportunities to get ahead.”
