Through the combined efforts of
students and Campus Security for
ces, A&M has a .safe campus, ac
cording to Fred Hackman, chief of
Campus Security.
“Students are welcome to bring
their cars to the ciampus but cer
tain procedures hav*e to be observed
and certain regulations abided
by,” Hickman added.
Under college regulations stu
dents must register their vehicles
(including motor scooters and mo
torcycles) at the Campus Secui'ity
Office in the basement of the
YMCA within 48 hours after their

will be issued a parking permit
decal to be placed in the lower left
hand corner of his windshield.
Parking Permits
This decal will have a particular
number, depending in which dormi
tory area a student lives. This
number will indicate the parking
lot in which the student may park
his car.
During business hours campus
streets are adequate only for
handling of traffic necessary to
college business.
These hours are from 8 a.m. un
til 5 p.m. Students’ cars must
be parked in their proper parking
area by 2 a.m. Thus, between 5
p.m. and 2 a.m., Monday through
Saturday mornings, students can
park their cars in areas usually re
served for business. Twelve noon
Saturday until 2 a.m. Monday are
also free parking periods. Students
cannot drive cars to classes. They
may use them for off-campus trips
during classroom ‘ hours provided
no stops are made on the campus.
State Laws Rule
Texas laws governing traffic
are effective on the campus. Speed
limits are 20 and 30 mph, and are
posted. Pedestrians shall at all
times have the right of way, and
at intervals between classes, ve
hicular traffic is expected to stop
for a sufficient period of time to
allow pedestrians to cross drives
and streets.
With the discussion of basic traf
fic regulations, next comes a dis
cussion of what happens when a
regulation is violated.
Under an authorization granted
by the A&M Board of Directors,
a fee may be levied for regaining
college driving rights taken from
violators of college traffic laws.
The maximum fee authorized was
$2 for parking violations, $3 for
moving car violations and $5 for
violations of driving cars on cam
pus after the permit has been
withdrawn.
Under new regulations any stu
dent receiving five violation notices
in one semester will have his park
ing privileges restricted for three
months while in school. A thirty
day period will be added for each
unpaid notice.
Each violator has 72 hours to
redeem the driving privileges with
out an additional fine being added.
At the bottom of every ticket is
sued will be instructions on how a
violator may go about getting his
car reinstated and the procedure
and place to go. If the driver
thinks the ticket is unwarranted,
he should report to the Office of
Campus Security where notice of
appeal may be prepared.
In addition to regular tickets
Campus Security patrolmen will
issue some courtesy notices for the
purpose of notifying and warning
the driver of the vehicle. This
notice is used because the patrol
man believes that the driver will
drive and park properly in the fu
ture.
A record of all notices will be
maintained.
If a student chooses not to pay
the reinstatement fee, he may file
notice to the Campus Security Of
fice and give up his driving and
parking privileges for 30 days.
Violation of this offense is sub
ject to heavy fine or suspension
from the college.
In World War I and World War
II more than 20,000 of the nation’s
armed services officers came from
A&M.

Student Publications Include
Newspaper, Four Magazines
By DEAN HORD
Battalion Staff Writer
As a first semester freshman
your daily life will be one of many
different activities, but for those
who enjoy working on newspapers,
magazines or your school annual
you will be interested to know that
A&M has five student publications.
Included among the student
‘epistles” The Battalion, the paper
serving both the campus and the
city of College Station, is a good
source of news as well as part-
time jobs. The Aggieland is our
annual and four magazines are
published which include The Agri

Engineer and The Southwestern
Veterinarian.
The Battalion is published four
times a week during the fall and
spring semesters and once a week
during the summer sessions. It has
a circulation of 7,500 during the
long semesters and its staff is
made up entirely of students who
work on the paper of their own
Clothing, Laundry
No Problem Here
Entering freshmen will be in
terested to know that the clothing
and laundry problem at A&M is a
relatively simple one.
The student in the Corps of Ca
dets will have most of his cloth
ing issued to him. However, it is
usually necessary that he buys an
other pair of shoes, some socks
and a pair of serge trousers.
During fish week, the entering
freshman must go to the college
laundry, where he will be assigned
a laundry mark and told when and
where he will deposit his soiled
laundry.
All students are allowed to have
twenty three pieces of clothing
laundered each week for 75 cents.
free will. You do not have to be
a journalism major to work on the
“Batt” or any of the other stu
dent publications. If you want to
work on any of the student publi
cations all you need do is let it be

student editors.
The student publications offices
are located in the basement of the
YMCA Building.
The Battalion is a member of
the Associated Press and the Tex
as Press Association. In addition
to the regular editions each week,

“safety” edition is published and
it has yet to fail winning a place
in the national safety editions con
test.
In addition to national news,
campus, local and state coverage
is given and the regular cartoon
strip is “Peanuts.” “Cadet Slouch”
by Jim Earle of the class of ’54
is also a regular cartoon in The
Battalion.
The Aggieland is published once
per school year and is delivered
soon after the fall semester be
gins. This year’s edition will be
delivered sometime in September.
Work on the annual begins in the
fall and continues until school is
out in June.
Each school of the college spon
