To Underclassmen
Sophomores and freshmen beware!
Rumblings over the campus indicate a growing intoler
ance for respect of seniority, and upperclassmen’s complaints l iH I
of failure to speak and “whip out” are increasing daily. These |
are two of the oldest traditions A&M has, and disregarding t /
them could mean their eventual death.
Advocates of this obliteration of tradition will experience
numerous repremands in the future, first, so to save your
selves undue embassassment on campus, it might be wise to
start heeding the traditions again. Speaking and whipping
out to members of the Cadet Corps and civilian students alike, | ? f ^
never hurt anyone.
Cold Spell
The first cold front of the season brought field jackets
and rain coats to the campus Monday.
Weathermen tell us it will get warmer this week, but
there is no doubt about it, Winter is on its way.
We sure hate to see the passing of shower shoes and ^
short sleeve shirts. But April is only six months away.

Texas University has authorized

Association, according to a story

Guest Editorial
One of this state’s truly great institutions is Texas A&M
College.
Celebrating its 85th birthday this year, our Aggie friends
not only are looking back on its proud record of past years,
they are looking even more intently to the future.
At College Station, college leaders officially have asked
themselves this searching question:
What will it take to make Texas A&M College the kind
of an institution it ough to be by the time it is 100 years
old, 15 years from now?
An A&M “Century Council” has been created to answer
that question and do the necessaries about it. We like that
15-year approach. It’s practical. It is not so long it could
get lost in a visionary attitude. It is not so short it puts
pressure on the Council to act in any way hastily.
That’s the kind of constructive thought, action and
example Texas expects—and needs—from its senior state
college whose wartime service to its nation even surpasses
that of West Point.
The recent registration at A&M totaled 7,649 students,
a seven per cent gain over last year and the highest enroll
ment since 1949. The measure of greatness is on A&M at
every angle. This new and well-conceived support program
is certain to keep A&M where it rightfully belongs—a leader
in the Texas parade.

Editor,

After three years in the Corps
I am still sitting in the end zone
at the football games. Why do
we seniors have to do this—and
I do mean “we” because I saw
more than a few there. This is
the question I ask after spending
the first half of Saturday’s game
in the sardine senior section and
the second half in the end zone.
I would guess that Kyle Field
had no more than 25,000 spec
tators and yet my date and I
could not find a place to stand
in the senior section. I wonder
if the juniors, sophomores and
freshmen found the same thing
in their sections.

I would like to see the Student
