Coliseum or Grove
Last night’s All-College Night was perhaps the most
well received in many years—at least the last three.
And after attending the impressive ceremony, one
wonders if it would not be an improved change to hold all
Yell Practices in G. Rollie White Coliseum (One exception:
Midnight Yell Practice. There’s only one place for that—The
Grove).
But turning to last night, there were many comments
that were favorable to the Coliseum Yell Practice. There was
|iore light; everyone could be seen; the Yell Leaders could
(e heard; the atmosphere, although warm, was avowedly
niNte comfortable than The Grove.
The paramount opposition to Yell Practices being in the
Coliseum rather than The Grove would probably be that it
would terminate, with the exception of Midnight Yell Practice,
an extended tradition.
Nonetheless, it’s worth thinking about.
A Mere Sum
A mere $4.75 is a small price to pay for this type of
protection ...
You Wonder
After spurning one summit meeting, Nikita Krushchev
has now declared he wants to have talks on disarmament
with President Eisenhower at the coming United Nations
General Assembly.
“Hopalong” Nikita and his Red posse roared into New
York yesterday amid cries that Eisenhower should attend
the General Assembly and thereby turn the meeting into a
world summit conference.
His actions after arrival in New York were not at all un
expected when the Soviet premier, only minutes after coming
j,shore, launched an attack on Secretary of State Christian
Herter.
Then add Fidel Castro and the Cuba crisis and Lumumba
and the Congo crisis to the situation.
The General Assembly could take an ample step toward
easing world tensions. Or it could heap more of the prover
bial coals on the fire.
With the prospects as they are—and as they have been—
you sometimes wonder why. Why have a United Nations?

II
For many years now, the Texas A&M students and com
panions have traveled long distances to football games and
other events away from the College. And for as many years,
there have been accidents which cost the students involved
substantial sums—and in some cases, lost time in school.
Again this year, the Student Senate is trying to alleviate
this situation by offering the Student Accident Insurance
Plan. This plan provides hospital and medical care allowances
at a price below any commercial rate.
|j
"J.
“ . . . why yes . . . maybe we can find room for one more man!”
The premium of $4.75 covers the student from the issuing
date until Sept. 1, 1961,‘also a 12-month period.
State College Problems
To Be Aired at Meeting'
The policy can be offered at this low price because the
college hospital acts as adjuster for claims, eliminating much
overhead. Most major colleges offer this policy, with some
of them making it mandatory for its students.
The policy has paid off in the past. In 1958, 1,658 stu
dents took out the policy, with $4,673 in claims being made.
In the 1959-60 school year, 1,927 students enrolled in the plan.
Thirty students made claims totaling $2,844. Four accidents
made up $1,000 of this total, but during this year, as in the
past, most of the payments were for minor injuries.
During this year, Corps trips to Dallas and Austin, the
Redbud Festival at Texas Woman’s University, Christmas
and New Years holidays, the spring break, and nearly every
weekend will see thousands of Texas A&M students taking to
the highways, with millions of miles driven. The best drivers
in the world can’t stop accidents over this many miles. And
this policy also covers other mishaps other than from driving.
Special to The Battalion
WACO — Problems common to
Texas state supported colleges
and universities will be discussed
in Austin Friday, Sept. 23, at a
joint meeting of the 90 members
of the ten governing boards of
the 19 institutions.
Also invited to the meeting are
Gov. Price Daniel, Lt. Gov. Ben
Ramsey, and the presidents of
the colleges and universities.
Discussion Opportunity
Coming as it does, after the
fall semester is well under way
in the colleges, the meeting will
be an opportunity for the board
members to discuss enrollment
trends, new ideas being tried out
—as well as the recurring prob
lems of money to finance higher
education.

boards.

WANT ADS
The speaker, J. Gordon Gay,
coordinator of religious life and
general secretary of the YMCA,
also told the freshmen that “it
will not come easily—you must
discipline yourselves to achieve
this to the fullest.”
Long-Time Existence
Cadet Robert M. Compton of
Elton, La., of the College’s YM
CA Cabinet, in an address to the
■ freshmen, pointed out that ‘re
ligion and religious values have
existed since the beginning of
man, it even precedes education,
Since the first kind of education
was religious education, we would
be doing nothing less than cheat
ing civilization to not put such a
strong emphasis on this subject.”
Very Important
Compton also pointed out that
“the place of religion at Aggie-
land is very important. Religion
is not housed in a building or
found between the covers of a
book—religion is lived, it is a set
of actions. The place of religion
at Aggieland is with your ac
tions.
“You need to intergrate your
formal course work with a more
mature Christian understanding
of the Bible,” Compton said.
Cadet Wesley Sanders of Hous
ton, student chaplain, 2nd Bri
gade, gave the invocation; the
benediction was given by Cadet
Joe Bindley of Plainview, student
chaplain, 4th Battle Group, 2nd
Brigade.
Ministers of the churches of
College Station were introduced
and following the meeting the
students met with their ministers
in their churches for a get-ac
quainted and social hour.
Gay also told the freshmen
that “people in this day and age
are challenged by the many com
plexities and tensions of life. As
you enter A&M you are breaking
with the past and starting out on
your own. Here you are greeted
not by your first name, but as
Fish Jones, Smith or Brown.
Becomes Neighborhood
“As you enter A&M,” Gay
said, ‘the world has become a
neighborhood and your life pur- '
pose must be reappraised in your
relationship as a world citizen.
“It is most important that you
have the proper motivation for
what you do. You must do the
right thing before you can really
achieve your goal.
“You must learn to do the
things that are necessary whether
you want to do them or not if
education is to open up doors and
interests for you.”
