An Inspection
On Saturday, March 17, Texas A&M will underg-o its
most rigorous and exacting inspection of the year.
The inspection will not be by military officers or scholas
tic rating experts. It will be by 1,500 to 2,000 Texas high
school students.
These students have been invited to judge A&M in the
contest so vitally important. The contest of what school to
attend.
Under the general sponsorship of the Inter-Council of
A&M, High School Career Day is really a composite of efforts.
Transportation problems are being solved by former students’
groups and A&M Mothers’ Club. Each academic school of
the college as well as the individual departments will feature
“open houses” with special programs and tours of facilities.
And that’s not all. This only covers part of the prospec
tive college students future. His contact with Aggies and his
stay in the dorms provides a look at another side.
Perhaps the most important phase of any college stu
dent’s life is that away from classrooms.
This is the life in which he really learns. It is the life in
which he investigates leads and clues revealed in lectures and
texts.
A students quest for knowledge must be fulfilled outside
of the classroom and here is where A&M must shine.
Previously High School Career Day has been met with
glee on campus. Aggies, truly trying to help convince high
schoolers to come here, have sometimes gone overboard.
The emphasis has been on “what a good time we have
here” instead of “how we study here.” So actually, this mis
guided spirit may have discouraged prospective Ags.
Instead of pointing out how close Uncle Ed’s is to campus
or the proximity of Sam Houston State, Texas U., Baylor,
U. of H. or Snook, point to the modern, up-to-date research
labs on campus. Call attention to the graduate school, one of
the most selective and respected in the state. And don’t for
get the data processing center or the nuclear research installa,
tions west of the campus.
A&M has a lot to be proud of and a lot to show off.
Our campus boasts progress as well as stability by its own
appearance.
So the Aggies will have a white-glove inspection March
17. It’ll be the toughest one of the year.

Sends Thanks
Editor,
The Battalion:
May I express my apprecia
tion for the fine coverage which
The Battalion gave Religious
Emphasis Week, and especially
to my speeches at Guion Hall.
I believe you have a very fine
fully on other campuses. These
do involve the participation of
world religious leaders or lay
men of many planes of life be
side the clergy, and I hope would
be the kind of thing suggested
in the students’ letter.
Again, my thanks for your
hospitality and for your fine
paper.

I wish you and all the students
at A&M a blessed future, as
Texans and as Americans.
I was most impressed by the
hospitality and warm, yet re
served, welcome given to a
stranger. The discipline on the
campus was most impressive, not
only among the corpsmen but
also among the civilians. For
this you are to be congratulated.
During the week a suggestion
was made in one of the letters
to the editor (“Sound Off,” Feb.

Religious Emphasis Week. I
have submitted to Mr. Rudder
and to Mr. Gay several plans
which have been used success-
