High school sen iors from all over Texas will begin arriving on the campus tomorrow afternoon to take a look around. Many of these high school boys have been dreaming for months of the day when they might don the Aggie uniform and become a part of the famous Twelfth Man. We remember High School Career Day in 1958. It was our first time to see the A&M Campus—Shangri-La! Th6re were six of us who made the trip. We were impressed. We must have been, for all six of us enrolled at A&M that fall; two of us are left. The school had a program outlined for us, not the elab orate tours and talks planned for this year’s Career Day, but a program nevertheless. But a couple of Aggie fish from our hometown high school had a program of their own planned for us. The first night we slept in a real Aggie Corps dorm, and next morning had the thrill of marching to chow in the mess hall. We started off on the right foot; by cutting the college’s welcome lecture that morning. Instead our “fish buddies” and we went swimming at the Clay Pits, joked with upper classmen (much to our surprise) and were told by our hosts repeatedly: “If you REALLY want to find out what A&M is like, come down some weekend when nothing is planned. You just see the nice side on Career Day.” We took their advice and came down unannounced one weekend later in the year, all set to see the REAL A&M. It was the weekend of the Fish Ball. We enrolled next fall. Job Calls .. . Smile . . .

Hall Made ‘Serious Error’ Editor, The Battalion: We, the undersigned, feel that Malcolm Hall, our student body president, and our student senate have made a serious error in then' blanket condemnation of the Southwest Conference Student Association. To back this, we present the following arguments: 1. Their main thesis was that A&M should not enter the asso ciation because “our problems are not similar to those of other schools.” Perhaps this is true, but in light of our failure to attract a high percentage of top- grade students, maybe a few ideas from outside would be advan tageous to the college. 2. Another excuse given for not becoming a member of the Conference was that the prelimi nary meeting concerned itself with the integration problem. This is an issue common to all Southwest Conference schools, and A&M is certainly no excep tion. We are a public school, and our current discriminatory racial policies are in direct conflict with the United States’ Constitution. 3. Mr. Hall has also asserted that the association would be harmful to A&M because it or ganized solely for the benefit of Maurice Olian, the president of the student body at Texas Uni versity. We feel that this per sonal assault is totally un grounded, in that Hall is the only person related to the Conference who has made such a charge. The other student body presi dents have had nothing but praise for the organization. It seems strange that Hall would ever make such a statement, for earlier this year at the Cotton Bowl meeting he not only openly approved of the conference, but also volunteered his aid in the writing of its Constitution. 4. The only other school which has rejected membership in the association is Rice. They chose, instead, to enter the National Students Association, a national student group. The Rice student president did, however, praise the SWCSA highly, saying that the only reason they did not enter was that the Rice students felt that the controversial NSA would be more challenging.
