THE BATTALION Thursday, September 14, 19G1 College Station, Texas Page ?, Cadets Recognized For Achievement Voice Of The Students Heard Loud In Senate The central governing body of students at A&M is the Student Senate. The Senate is set up to deter mine and conduct matters of gen eral student concern. Objectives of the Senate are to act as the official voice of the student body, to promote student general wel fare and to provide a liaison be tween the administration of the college and the students. The Senate also provides an opportun ity to train students in the respon sibilities and mechanics of demo cratic government and citizenship. The officers of the Senate are elected by the student body in a general election held at the end of each school year. A senor, junior and sophomore representative is elected from each major school at the time that the -officers are elected. Four fresh man representatives will be elected immediately following the Novem ber mid-semester grade reports and they will take office at that time. The Senate is divided into four standing committees. The Student Life Committee strives to develop healthy student attitudes on such campus prob lems as an honor system and the purposes of a college education. They also attempt to. develop bet ter staff-student relationships. The Student Welfare Committee will recommend policies or changes concerning the College Hospital, Dining Halls, dormitories and land scaping. They also regulate all student welfare fund drives. The Issues Committee will pro pose to the Senate resolutions on state, national and international issues which affect and interest college students. They will also voice opinions on current ques tions of importance, such as con tinued foreign aid and academic freedom. The main purpose of this committee is to demonstrate that students, as future leaders, can and should think seriously about the society of which they are a part. The Public Relations Committee will serve to improve relationships with other student bodies and other outside groups through publicity, welcoming and other activities. An annual Campus Chest Drive is sponsored by the Senate. Money Holiday Plaza Motel WELCOMES YOU TO AGGIELAND Swimming Pool Complete Hotel Service collected from this drive goes to various welfare organizations. Also a substantial portion of the money remains on the campus for aid to Aggies who have need for financial assistance. James P. Hanni^an . . . dean of students Military Man Mannigan Right For Job Dean of Students James P. Han- nigan has the dubious distinction of being the man who has the final say on discipline within the stu dent body. Coordinating tbe actions of Commandant Col. Joe Davis (for the Corps of Cadets) and Director of Student Personnel Services (for the civilian student body), Hannigan is the final authority when a question of discipline or other matters peidaining to student life comes up. But former Brig. Gen. Hanni gan is well trained for his job, and tries to handle each case per sonally with tact and sincerity. Hannigan, who came to A&M in August of 1959, graduated from West Point. He also holds a di ploma in French civilization from the University of Paris (Sor- bonne), attended the British Im perial Defense College in London and studied international strategy at the National War College in Washington, D.C. The dean, who was an instructor in the Department of Languages at West Point, speaks French flu ently and has a moderate under standing of Spanish and German. Hannigon came to A&M from Fort Chaffee, Ark., where he was Department Commanding General of the Army Artillery Training Center. Scholastic improvement, sought after by every student, meant $50 each to 14 Cadet Corps freshmen and sophomores last May. A scholastic achievement com mittee, formed under the direction of Dean of Students James P. Han nigan, recommended that a $50 award and a medal be given to each of the 14 freshmen and soph omores in the Corps who showed the most improvement in grades and study habits from the fall mid semester grade report in Novem ber through the spring mid-semes ter report in March. The committee also recommend ed that the outstanding scholastic officer and sergeant in each bri gade and wing be awarded a medal. A letter sent to each of the 14 scholastic improvement award winners from Lt. Col. Edward L. Scott, chairman of the scholastic awards committee, said, in part, “After careful consideration of all candidates, you have been selected for an award for progressive scholastic improvement. The com mittee congratulates you for your determination and for the improve ment you have shown. Through your improvement, you have im proved your unit and the Corps of Cadets.” Scott’s letter to the top scholas tic officers and sergeants com mended them for the jobs they had done. “After an evaluation of the scholastic record of your unit which reflects your effort, you have proven that you deserve spe cial recognition.

Books Galore At Cushing Library Cushing Memorial Library, lo cated directly east of the Aca demic Building, should be one of the most used buildings on the campus, but many students strug gle through four years of college without taking advantage of its services.
