THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, February 11, 1960
Worth Mentioning
By Johnny Johnson
Unlike most semesters, this one has started off with
several important events that may have large effects upon
the future of many semesters to come.
The two changes in Corps of Cadets policy announced
Monday by Dean of Students James P. Hannigan, 85th Dis
trict Court’s Judge W. T. McDonald’s ruling against the ad
mission of female students to Texas A&M and the announce
ment of a decline in the number of first semester losses and
an increase in the number of students for this semester over
the enrollment last spring all were events of importance
this week.
If the semester continues at the pace set by the first
part of the first week, then' , '
indeed the Spring Semester

of 1960 will be a monu
mental one for Texas A&M.
★ ★ ★
The reduction in the num-‘
ber of students transferring at
the end of January and the in
crease in enrollment for this se
mester show that several changes
instituted over the last two years
are beginning to bear fruit.
As we have mentioned earlier
the cooperation between students,
student leaders and college ad
ministration people and faculty
members is bearing fruit for
Texas A&M.
If this same spirit of coopera

Plants W. H. Badgett were
checking damage done to barri
cades on Spence Street by van

shots on the golf course driving

went down the course to retrieve
his ball. After a frantic search
for the ball, he finally discovered
it—in the storm sewer whose
cover had been taken off by the

CHANGE IN COMMAND
FT. HUACHUCA, Ariz. <A>) —An
Arizona National Guardsman was

changing commanding officers.”
