Journalism Which Succeeds Best —and Best Deserves Success— Fears God and Honors Man; Is Stoutly Independent, Unmoved by Pride of Opinion or Creed of Power . . . Waller Williams More Improvement The Class of ’60 took action Wednesday to correct the sham of a Yell Practice that has in recent years been called Midnight Yell Practice. The senior class has taken the initial step in returning f Midnight Yell Practice to its old role as an important pari of the Aggie 1 Spirit. Through the leadership and Spirit shown by the Class of ’60, Midnight Yell Practice can once again become an Aggie tradition of which to be justly proud—not something to go to for laughs. With the support of all the Men of Aggieland, the re vised Midnight Yell Practice will once again be a place to take our dates and other campus visitors to show them the real Aggie Spirit. Unity behind the move of the Class of ’60 will mean the end to fables and jokes. In their place will come talks to build Aggie Spirit. True, it is another change from the way things were, but like almost all the changes made this year, It’s a move in the direction of making Texas A&M a better place to be , . or to be from. Besides, the way things were wasn’t so good. Each day brings more proof that the new way of doing things is reaping more and more benefits for Texas A&M and Aggies. The success of the new Midnight Yell Practice, like all the improvements being made this year, depends upon how well the Men of Aggieland stand behind it. With the help of all, it will work and another tradition will regain the stature it on.ce held. Grad Students Conduct Studies Walter C. Biggs of Castle Hayne, N. C., and Walter V.
