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.

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.”

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

has been ruled 'out.

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

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.
