ALREADY HAS REPUTATION
Student Senate Formally
Opposes Name-Change
The Student Senate last night
officially went on record, by a
vote of 12-8, as being opposed to
any name-change for A&M. There
were two abstentions.
The Senate decision came on the
heels of nearly two hours of heat
ed discussion on the proposed
-hange, which is now being stud-
\ by the College Name-Change
/mmittee.
President Earl Rudder had asked
^tudent Senate President Roland
/Dommert to probe the Senate for
j views of the student body, with
the result being last night’s de
cision.
The group also chose to draw up
both majority and minority re
ports on the discussion for Dom-
tnert’s use on the committee.
Dun In January
These reports are due to be fin
ished by the first week of Jan
uary, when the next meeting of
the Name-Change Committee is
scheduled.
Bob Bower, Frank McFarland
and Mike Schneider will write the
majority report, while John Ab
bott, Brantley Laycock and Clay
ton LaGrone will work on the mi
nority report.
President Earl Rudder has also
asked for opinion reports from
Cadet Col. of the Corps Syd Hea
ton and Civilian Student Council
President Mike Carlo. These
opinions, like the Student Senate
decision, are due at the January
meeting of the Name-Change
Committee.
Arguments raged hot and heavy
for both sides of the question, with
emphasis showing at least 75 per
cent of the Corps of Cadets seemed
to favor leaving the name as it is.
Good Reputation
Probably the most frequent ar
gument used state A&M already
has a good reputation in the south
and southwest and a change in the
name will have no real signifi
cance.
The main argument for a change
in the name of the school was
based on the fact the college is no
longer a college and the words
“Agricultural and Mechanical” are
no longer appropriate.
It was also proposed that no
name could perfectly depict the
school, but something could do a
better job than Texas A&M.
By far the most popular com
promise listed involved the pres
ent name system used at Harvard.
There the graduate school is a
university and the under-graduate
school is a college.
Those in favor of this system
proposed the name of the A&M
System include the word univer
sity and the name of the college
remain the same.
The Senate members were also
unanimously against the
“Texas State University.”

Campus Chest
Drive Success
Appears Dim
Prospects looked exceptionally
dim late yesterday afternoon for
the success of the College Campus
Chest drive, with less than half
the campus units submitting re
ports to drive headquarters.
Drive Chairman Clayton La
Grone said at 4 p.m. the total sub
mitted to him was only $293.16.
This _ total was submitted a day
after the official deadline.
Another discouraging aspect,
LaGrone added, was the fact 25
Cadet Corps units still had not re
ported at all. He added less than
half the civilian reports had also
been submitted.
The goal for the two-day drive,
conducted Tuesday and Wednes
day nights in college dormitories
and all week through receptacles
on campus, was $3,000.
LaGrone even said officials are
considering holding another drive
sometime during the second se
mester. The chairman admitted
the date for this year’s drive was
poor.
