Time For Loyalty Tonight, literally thousands of “newcomers” to A&M will witness an event they have never before seen or imag ined: Midnight Yell Practice. Whether it be new freshmen just on campus two weeks, Aggies dates who are here to attend a Kyle Field game foi* the first time, or curious onlookers from other schools, to; night s yell practice will leave a lasting impression with them. Will it be the same - one left with the young woman last year, who was literally mauled and trampled by mobs of students crowding in behind the Band? Or will it seem an event that ultimately symbolizes the spirit of our student body, its loyalty and backing? That actually shames persons from other schools? The latter is the most possible and probable if the men who hold the responsibility of being upperclassmen, will work toward keeping Midnight Yell Practice an orderly occasion Freshmen aren’t going to cause commotion unless led into it. Kyle Field has been selected as a place more conducive to orderly conduct during the yell practice; yet if this is clearly demonstrated by those attending, the tradition of The Grove might return before the season is out. But whether held in Kyle P'feld or The Grove, Midnight Yell Practice is a time to show loyalty and spirit, yet also courtesy for others attending. being intoxicated, throwing rolls of toilet paper, shouting loud profanities, and other such unpleasant acts have never been considered courteous in anyone’s book. The upperclassmen of A&M can prevent these acts, and turn Midnight Yell Practice into the occasion it is meant to be. In 15 Years Editor of the Tulsa Tribune, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, painted a hard-to-believe picture of the Texas A&M science and en gineering student of 1976 in an address to the opening ses sion of the Century Study Forecast Conference Thursday night. •n J n short years, a sophomore chemistry student will have to know as much as the graduate chemistry student of 50 years ago, he said. ,.niors majoring in engineering must know as much as the M.I.T. masters graduate of 1925. And college seniors will have to understand as much quantum physics as Albert Einstein. All this by 1976. In addition, this Class of ’76 scientist or engineer must know more humanities, history, modern language and English than most liberal arts students know now. Why this rush for super-knowledge in such a short time? We are in a battle to the death with the forces of in ternational communism for the minds of men. To win the battle we must be more than technically and scientifically superior. We must also be oriented in the philosophies that made our society free—or we won’t be able to keep it free. So what is the answer? How can we hope to retain this vast store of knowledge in the short time we have? Jones plan is simple. He advocates, admitting to college study only those stu dents who really are capable and willing to learn. Then giv ing those students the best possible education, using the most modern teaching methods. In simple terms, he advocates turning universities into universities and not vocational training schools. His plan is simple, and it might work. We have 15 years to see. Good Example ,, A meeting between student leaders of Texas A&M and the University of Houston will be held (over a fried chicken dinner) Saturday prior to the grid battle between the two schools. ^ Purpose of the meeting will be to promote sportsmanship tnrough a better understanding of each school’s traditions. Cougar cheerleaders will meet with our yell leaders to co ordinate actions on the field. , In everything they do, the yell leaders, elected by the student body, are acting for the student body. The best sportmanship policy is to follow their example.

BDITOPv “It’S th’ least we can do for U of H to cheer them up after the game!” (Continued from Page 1) Your seniors will have to under stand all the quantum physics of Planck and Einstein and Teller,” he said. Jones said present methods of instruction, however modern they may be considered today, will be insufficient for the task. He concluded with a warning that “the compression of learning ... is your basic challenge. “It will require tireless research and bold application. But the" stakes are high. They may even be vital to the preservation of free society.” Today the Council members heard Abraham Hyatt, director of program planning and evaluation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, speak on “The Space. Exploration Program and Its Impact on Science and Technology,” and Dr. Richard Buhmann Johnson, chairman of the Department of Economics at Southern Methodist University, speak on “The Economic Develop ment of the Southwest by 1976.” The Fortcast Conference ad journed at 10:45 a.m. and the Council broke up into four “Task Force” kroups to draft a “plan of action” for the two-year Century Study. ' Authorities Set Inquest Church l\e 6 ( ^( St. Mary Sunday Catholic 0i 30, NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia— ( ^ >, —-Rhodesian authorities will hold a public inquest into the deaths of Dag Hammarskjold and 14 others who died with him in Monday’s air crash, officials an nounced Thursday night. I he inquest will be held only after a detailed post-mortem ex amination is complete. A gov ernment spokesman said this is unlikely to be achieved before Sunday. Northern Rhodesia, a British protectorate, fo^ows the English pl system in which a coroner holds th a full court of inquiry to estab lish the cause of all cases of violent death. In cases of this kind, the coro ner usually calls for evidence of identification, medical evidence on the victims’ injuries, and tech nical evidence on reasons for the crash. The official investigation into the cause of the crash is not complete but informed sources suggestion of sabotage has been ruled 'out. 11:00 a.m. Weekday- Monday, Wednesday Saturday. 8:20 p.m. Thursday Confess lions-—Satu 7:80 p.m. and befor R o s a i r v and ] Wednesdu iy, 7:20 p.n Though i iRriculture ly undevel oped in K vince, some r cotton coi grown retch in tl said any or attacl Sound Off- Editor, The Battalion: I do believe the “Men of Aggie- land” have lost what was com monly called chivalry at one time. Nobody should have to hear, “Your manners are showing,” un less it’s due you. I guess I’ll have to tell you. I am an Aggie wife with a large 13 month old baby. I was in a cleaning establishment this week. I struggled out of the door and into the car with at least six healthy looking fish and sophomores watching me. I hope they enjoyed it. I couldn’t help remembering how I try to make life a little more like home to those I know. And then, I thought Bulletin Board Professional Clubs Institute of Aerospace Sciences, Student Branch, will holds its first meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 26, in Room 231 of the Chemistry Building. After a welcome by A. E. Cronk, head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, the members will tour the Aeronaut ical Engineering facilities includ ing the large wind tunnel at. Easterwood Airport. The Aero nautical Engineering Wives Club will serve refreshments. The AAUP will hold a meeting Monday night, Sept. 25, starting at 7:30 in the Assembly Room of the Memorial Student Center.

I have but one thing more to say and I say it to those who need it: “Your manners are show ing.” Make your parents proud you’re an Aggie. Jeannine Anderson 501-A Milam College Station Plans were to be presented at a luncheon at 12:10 p.m. in the MSC. Both days of the meeting, mem bers of the A&M Student Senate escorted members of the Council on tours of the campus. Thursday the Council had dinner with the Corps of Cadets in Duncan Dining Hall. The selection of the bald eagle's likeness for the Great Seal Of the United States was deemed appro priate because of the bird’s wide American range and the fact that eagles symbolized power and cour age.
