Texas A&M is moving - forward at a tremendous pace.
i
It is a tough pace set by a determined world running full
speed ahead in a race for survival. Anyone can enter the
race, but only those who have prepared themselves well will
finish.
Seeing that Texas A&M remains a front runner in the
race is, in essence, the job of the Century Council.
The 100 Texans appointed to the Century Council in
August are meeting on the campus today and Friday to begin
a study which will plot the course and determine the pace
of the College for the next 15 years.
Texas A&M has been in the race for 85 years. From a
slow start in 1876, when only a half-dozen students showed
up for, the first classes, the “cow college” on the banks of the
Brazos River has moved to the front; growing into a mam
moth university system, encompassing four full-size colleges
and five agricultural and engineering agencies.
During the course of its 85-year history, Texas A&M
has moved steadily forward, passing many other runners
and watching a few drop out of the race altogether.
Already ahead of the pack, and setting a hard-to-meet ...
pace, the College, through the Century Study, has begun to «
prepare to move 1 even further out in front.
First meeting of the Chess
Committee will be held Friday at
7:30 p.m. in Room 2-C of the Me
morial Student Center. Anyone
interested in playing chess or in
learning to play is welcome. 11
possible, bring chess set and
board.
THEATRjpf/
The 100 men and women on the council are all recognized
in their respective, fields. Among them are bank presidents,
ediicators, ranchers, leaders in industry and science and
newspaper and magazine publishers.
From their reports and ideas, the future course of Tex
as A&M will be plotted.
It is systematic study and planning ? such as the Century
Study, that will move Texas A&M to the front.
First Impressions
One-hundred outstanding Texas men and women are
on the campus today, their one purpose being to help build
a better Texas A&M by serving on the Century Council.
Sortie have been here before. Some are former students.
Others are seeing the campus for the first time.
Most have come long distances; all are giving of their
own time to help Texas A&M.
It behooves each of us, faculty and student alike, to
welcome these visitors and show them what Aggie friend
liness means.
First impressions are lasting ones.
Tough Life
>!
The U. S. Naval Academy has warned its midshipmen
that it is a violation of regulations to play slot machines
while in uniform even though the machines are legal at
Annapolis.
“It’s not considered proper for the men to gamble,” says
the Academy.
The ruling does not apply to times when midshipmen
are not in uniform, but their are only a few special circum
stance when they are not. It’s life the Navy leads.

WASHINGTON <A>)_Most big
government agencies permit some
kind of telephone monitoring, a
House subcommittee reported
Wednesday.
Officials in most cases “ration
alized it as an aid to efficiency,”
the report said, adding: “No mat
ter what the excuse, there is
something mean and unprincipled
in a government official’s ar
ranging for a secretary—or a
transcribing machine—to eaves
drop on telephone calls.”
The report was issued by the
government information subcom
mittee headed by Rep. John E.

It said 33 of 37 federal agen
cies surveyed permit some kind
of monitoring. In many cases
this consists of having a secre
tary listen in on calls to take
notes.
In other cases various elec
tronic aids are used, and the sub
committee said “many thousands
of dollars a year are spent on
the listening-in devices.”
The report said 17 agencies do
not always require that the other
party be told that the conversa
tion is being recorded.

“When you stop to think what percent of our total waking
hours is spent bread-winning, you realize how tragic it is
for any man to work at an occupation he doesn’t enjoy.
Besides frittering away life, it reduces chances of success
to just about zero. I know . .. because it almost happened
to me!
After college, I did what I thought was expected of me
and joined a solid, Manhattan-based insurance firm. I
soon found office routine wasn’t for me. I lived only for

interest in my work improved immediate
After World War II, I started my own yacht brokerage
firm and yacht insurance agency in Miami, combining my
marine insurance background with an even closer rela
tionship with boats.
My only problem ever since has been a feeling of guilt
that my work was too easy. I love boats and boating
people. That affection has paid me rewards way beyond
the financial security it has also provided.
The moral’s obvious. You have on odds-on chance for
success and happiness working at what you enjoy most —
what comes naturally! And if it’s not just frivolous, your
life’s work could well be what you now consider just a
pastime. It’s certainly worth thinking about, anyway!”
