Through the combined efforts of
students and Campus Security for
ces, A&M has a safe campus, ac
cording to Fred Hickman, chief of
Campus Security.
“Students are welcome to bring
their cars to the campus but cer
tain procedures have to be observ
ed and certain regulations abided
by,” Hickman added.
Under college regulations stu
dents must register their vehicles
.(including motor scooters and mo-
DECITRIG®
and
JET-LOG®
Slide
Rviles
torcycles) at the Campus Security
Office in the basement of the
YMCA within 48 hours after their
arrival on the campus.
This regulation applies only to
cars that a student plans to keep
on the campus.
After payment of a registration
fee for $3 per semester, a student
will be issued a parking permit
decal to be placed in the lower left
hand corner of his windshield.
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
canot 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 m.p.h. and
are posted. Pedestrians shall at
all times have the right of way,
and at intervals between classes,
vehicular traffic is expected to
stop for a sufficient period of time
to allow pedestrains 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 col
lege driving rights taken from vio
lators 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withdrawn.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 no
tices in one semester will have his
parking privileges restricted for
three months while in school. A
thirty day period will be added for
each unpaid notice.
Each violater has 72 hours to re
deem 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.

Guion Hall
. . site of New Student Week meetings
Films Shown on Weekends
Guion Fills Varied Role:
Auditorium and Theater
New students will find Guion
Hall to be not only a place where
meetings are held during New
Student Week, but also a main
source of enjoyment and relaxa
tion here on the campus.
It has the distinction not only
of being the largest, but also one
of the few theaters located on a
college campus.
Located between the Memorial
Student Center and the Military
Science Building, the theater, with
a seating capacity of 1,925, is
open Friday, Saturday and Sun
day for the convenience of the stu
dents. A ticket costs only 40 cents
as the theater is not set up to op
erate for a profit.
The films shown there are the
newest available and of the variety
desired most by the students. The
only drawback is that the films
may not he shown here for at least
30 days after they have been in
Bryan and College Station thea
ters.
Built in 1917 and put into use
in 1919, Guion Hall was originally
used only for meetings, speeches
and plays. Not until 1941 was it
converted into a theater for the
students.
Previous to World War II, pic
tures were shown on Wednesday
and Saturday nights in the old
Assembly Hall. This was located
on the site now occupied by the
All-Faiths Chapel. In 1941 all of
the equipment and facilities were
moved to Guion and started opera
tion daily.
Services Include Grove
Remodeling has been done re
cently which included the repair
ing and sand-blasting of the out
side of the building and the re
modeling and complete addition of
a new men’s rest room.
Wide screen viewing, stereo
phonic sound and the use of new
projectors make inside the show
very pleasant and modern. Also
included for the students’ conven
ience are soft drinks, popcorn and
confections which are sold at the
concession stand.
Any profit from the operation
of the theater will go into new
equipment, improving the present
facilities and back to the student
in the form of entertainment.
Many important speeches and
presentations have taken place in
Guion Hall. One of the many,
which may be woi’thy of mention,
was the presentation of an Hon*
orary Doctor of Law degree to
President Eisenhower. This was in
April, 1946, on the Saturday be
fore Easter Sunday.
Corps Adjusts
To Meet Demands
The Cadet Corps at Aggieland
has taken on a new look.
The School of Military Science
has made changes and progress
is being made in the training of
students to prepare them for the
atomic and “jetomic” age.
The military training prepares
the cadet for the future and pro
vides him with a foundation for
solving the complexities of life aft
er graduation. The objective of
the Corps of Cadets is fourfold:
a. To produce officers who have
the qualities and attributes essen
tial to their progressive and con
tinued development as officers in
a component of the Armed Forces
of the United States of America.
b. To lay the foundation of in
telligent citizenship for the cadet
through a training program de
signed to he of benefit to him, to
the State of Texas and to the na
tion whether in military or civilian
life.
c. To provide strong training in
basic principles of leadership in
cluding promptness, honesty, fair
ness, intelligence and common
sense.
d. To develop a deep sense of
responsibility, honor and integrity
and to cultivate habits of cheerful
obedience and precision' in the
maintenance of high standards of
performance whatever the task.
The Army (ROTC) is teaching-
new pentomic army organization,
operations and tactics. The latest
developments in equipment that is
not classified are used; new con
cepts in logistic support to fast
moving tactical units, made pos
sible by automatic data processing
systems, developed under the su
pervision of the Army Signal
Corps, nqw trainfire techniques, a
method of improving marksman
ship quicker and mo-e effectively
or realist’c'l’y me ee'ng taught
The Department of Air Science
is ded cit 'd to training young men
for the “jetomic” age. AFROTC
w.dets ere g'ven the latest up-to-
d 'te material, constant research is
conducted by Headquarters, Air
Force, located at Maxwell Air
Force Base, Ala., and the various
college detachments. Cadets (fresh
man) are offered a comprehensive
picture of the total American air
power and the places of military
forces as instruments of national
security: cadets (sophomore) be
come familiar with the elements
of aerial warfare; cadets (junior)
are given a comprehensive picture
of the Air Force Base, its organi
zation and distribution of responsi
bilities; during the senior year the
preparation of a young man is con
cluded in a study of the principles
of warfare and how they have
evolved; his four years in the
AFROTC program prepare him for
a future career as an Air Force
officer.
