Civilian Council Discusses
Punishment for Honor Code
Punishment for violating an
adaptation of the Corps Honor Code
applying to Civilian students was
one of the major topics discussed
last night at a meeting of the Ci
vilian Student Council in the Me
morial Student Center.
A majority of the councilmen
Wei’e against the final punishment
set by the Corps Honor Code which
states that “the only punishment
is dismissal from A&M College.”
Dick Steadman, representative
from Law Hall, presented ex
amples of different degrees of
honor, some more severe than oth
ers, and Tommy Beckett, vice
president, suggested probation
rather than dismissal fi’om college
in cases of lesser degree of honor.
Further discussion of the honor
code, which is still new and in
complete, was brought fourth by
Bill McKown, president of the
council.
“If the honor council shows any
favoritisms or if the administra
tion doesn’t back the code, we
might as well throw the code out
the window,” McKown said.
The- council also discussed the
duties and requirements of mem
bers of the 14-man honor council.
One of the questions brought be
fore the council was whether or
not members be restricted to jun
ior and senior classification only.
McKown was against the re
striction. “I don’t think we can*
and if we do, I don’t believe we’ll
get the code passed,” he said. As
it stands the plan provides that
members of the honor council-be
of sophomore or above classifica
tion when elected. Also they will
have to live under the code for one
year.
A report on the Civilian football
seating plan was brought before
the council by secretary Sammy
Ray. He brought “bad news” he
said, reporting that the seating
plan had been frowned upon by
Barlow (Bones) Irvin of the Ath
letic Department. Ray said that
Irvin wanted a seating plan that
would work for all students, and
that Irvin felt the council’s plan
did not do this.
Following the seating plan re
port, the election of Civilian rep
resentatives May G and the senior
barbeque May 8, were discussed.

Gen. Jerry Lee
Urges Seniors
Accept Task
Brig. Gen William L. (Jer
ry) Lee yesterday urged Air
Force seniors to accept the
challenge of the difficult and
seek better leadership quali
ties.
The Air Force general headed
the inspection team which surveyed
Air Force ROTC units during the
annual federal inspection.
Gen. Lee, ’27, said leadership
qualities have been sadly lacking
in officers who have graduated
from A&M since the end of World
War II.
“A&M has had more men in the
service in World Wars I and II
than any other school. I have
been proud of the school and the
men it has produced,” he said.
However, Gen. Lee expressed
displeasure with many officers
graduating from A&M since the
end of World War II.
He said he felt the cause of
their inability to perform many
tasks as officers was that many
A&M men in recent years have
been selecting the easiest possible
courses in school instead of the
ones which will bring out the best
in them.
“One thing I’ve learned in the
service is that if you are asked to
do a certain job you know nothing
about, it’s a challenge to get the
job done,” the general said.
He said officers today need to be
instilled with a sense of leadership
and that A&M must do its part
in making the leaders for the fu
ture.

Points Out Tax Cut Army Nurse
M ust he Righ t Kind
NEW YORK, GP)—Vice President Nixon said last night
that if further government action is needed to stimulate
recovery, he still believes a tax cut “is the fastest, the best,
and surest method to accomplish this result.”
He did not advocate tax reduction at this time or say
how President Eisenhower felt on this issue. But he did say
Eisenhower told him “very bluntly” last week the recession
“should not be used for adopting massive new spending pro
grams” of types that would “give little stimulation to the
economy at this time.”
Nixon discussed the question in an address prepared for
delivery at the annual dinner of the American Newspaper
♦Publishers Assn.’s Bureau of
Teague’s Estimate ,AdveitlMn8 -
Knocked by Doctor
DALLAS OR)—Dr. W. H. Buck-
holts, manager of the Veterans
Administration Hospital at Mc-
kinney, Tex., Thursday said a Tex
as congressman’s claim about uni-
used beds at the hospital was in
accurate.
Rep. Olin E. Teague, College
Station, chairman of the Veterans
Affairs Committee, had asked
President Eisenhower if he knew
the Budget Bureau has forced the
VA to withhold 4,974 beds from
use.
Teague said that of that number
557 were not being used at the Mc
Kinney hospital.
Buckholts said that 447 beds are
available at the hospital. Of that
number, he said, about 400 are in
actual use.
in saying ne preferred tax
cutting to “a spending binge”
that coiild only lead “to a
hangover of debt and inflation,”
he declared: “However, a tax cut
will not do the job unless it is the
right kind. It must be designed to
put money in the hands of investors
and job creators, as well as con
sumers.”
“If the economy can come
through “the present downturn
without additional massive govern
mental intervention on either the
tax front or the spending front,”
he said, “that would be desirable
because of the ' inevitable deficit
that either of such actions would
bring.”
Whatever steps are necessary,
Nixon said, the administration will
take.
“We can state this one conclu
sion categorically,” he said.
“There will be no depression in
the United States.
