Short letters stand a better chance for publication since space is at a premium. Unsigned letters will not be published. .. conducive to top scholastic achievement. Credit for most of these changes must go to the sane atti tude adopted by the Class of ’60 and ’61-—that purposes for dis clipinary training must be eval uated, revised and made to bal ance with the student’s goal of an education. But, at the same time, seeing to it that the advan tages of A&M’s unique military training are not sacrificed. The adage that “I did it last year, so you have to do it now” is reasoning of the most infantile proportions. And the leaders of the Corps recognize it and are endeavoring to institute fair play and sensible discipline throughout the cadets’ lives by means of standard operating procedures. Upperclassmen who wish to gain the respect and obedience of classes below them should adhere to these standard procedures, for how can a man logically command respect for authority when he has none himself? A man’s sub ordinates tend to reflect him—a prime reason for setting a good example. With all pulling together, we can make A&M an even greater school than it is today. Name Withheld by Request Editor, The Battalion: As a Corps sophomore, I should like to express my overwhelming personal support of the trends taking place in the Corps of Ca dets this year. The freshman who feels despondent because “Ole’ Army” is no more should realize that he is getting some thing the classes for at least a few years before him were never allowed to experience—a more reasonable, brotherly and civilized atmosphere. And, thus, one more Singing Cadets Make Recording A recording session recently by the Singing Cadets was for the cutting of a record of “Texas Our Texas,” the official Texas song since 1929. Sponsored by the Texas State Song Assn., the Singing Cadets’ version will be distributed throughout Texas and the United States for use on radio and tele vision broadcasts. The TSSA has as its prime ob jective of promoting the recog nition and observance of the State song.

He came to Texas and A&M in 1950 as an assistant professor of dairy science. He was made associate professor in 1952. Peters attended secondary schools in both Russia and Can ada before receiving his bach elor’s degree from the Univer sity of Manitoba in Canada. He received his master’s degree from Michigan State University and his doctor’s degree from Iowa State University. Since the completion of his formal education, Peters has written 25 articles on original research with milk and milk prod ucts. He is presently concerned with a research project involving the manufacture of cheese from homogenized milk. Peters first came to the United States in 1942 and, except for a year in Canada in 1944, has been here since. During the war, he servqd as a postal censor. Peters is a member of the Men- nonite Church and the College Station Kiwanis Club. He married the former Maurine Grace Champlin in 1948. The couple now has three children, Marion Catherine, Manley Cham plin and Patricia Jean, and lives at 308 Park Place, College Sta tion.
