CADET SLOUCH

Letters To The Editor
The Battalion welcomes letters to the editor hut reserves the right to edit letters
for brevity, clearness and accuracy. Short letters stand a better chance for

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

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.
KEEPING THEM COMPANY
CUSHING (AP) When Ulysses

Probably no faculty member at
A&M has a more interesting-
background that Isaac I. Peters,
an associate professor of dairy
science, a native of Russia.
Peters was born in Russia 49
years ago and has since lived in
Canada, Michigan, Iowa and Tex
as. 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.
Indonesia, which has 83 million
peopl e scattered through more
than 3,000 islands, is a nation
where at least 40 languages are
spoken .
