‘Honor’ Graduates
Valedictorian This
Replace
Spring
A number of academically out
standing graduating seniors in
stead of a single valedictorian will
be honored beginning with the
May, 1962, commencement under
a newly. adopted college regula
tion. The change, recommended
by the Executive Committee, was
approved this week by the Aca
demic Council.
Academically outstanding grad
uating seniors may qualify for
graduation with either “High Hon
ors” or “Honors.”
The new regulation, which re
places the existing Paragraph 38
of College Regulations, also is
notable for lessening the require
ment as to how much of the aca
demic work must be done on this
campus to qualify for scholastic
honors.
The new provision states that
all candidates for Baccalaureate
or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
degrees are eligible for graduation
with academic honors. This se
lection “shall be based upon the
average of all grades made by a
student on the courses taken at
this college. Those students who
complete less than seventy-five
semester hours of credit at A&M
College must show a grade point
ratio on all academic work equal
to that required at A&M for the

‘Mode Of
By Local
Conduct’
Motel Men
Bryan and College Station mo
tel owners said Wednesday they
would not require female guests
of A&M students to be accompani
ed by chaperones, provided the stu
dents agree to “maintain common
courtesy toward other guests.”
The owners reversed a previous
decision to bar unchaperoned fe
male guests at a meeting Thurs
day between Student Body Presi
dent Malcolm Hall and the Bryan-
College Station Motel Council.
At the meeting, held at the
Sands Motel and attended by most
Bryan - College Station motel own
ers, a “Mode of Conduct for A&M
Student - Motel Relationship” was
formulated, and motel owners ex
plained their earlier action.
Hall said the motel managers
told him all they wanted to do was
to “provide a motel where they
can keep their guests comfort
able.” He said they realized only a
small part of the A&M students
“gave them any trouble.”
“These students usually don’t
even rent motel rooms — they
are just ‘motel hoppers,’ “Hall
quoted one of the group as saying.
Hall said the recent Military
Weekend (March 9-11) brought a-
bout the action in which several
motel owners canceled all reser
vations held by A&M students. One
mote) owner said over $1,000 in
damage was done in his place a-
lone that weekend.
Damage was as varied as it was
extensive, the motel men told Hall.
Glasses were broken in swimming
pools, making it necessary to drain
the pool; light fixtures were brok
en; lamp shades were used as
hats and damaged; all the lawn
furniture at one motel was bent
beyond repair; a baby bed was torn
up and thrown in the swimming
pool at one motel, and a chase
lounge wound up in the pool of
another motel; walls were stained
with drinks, and at a one motel,
a hole was cut between two rooms.
(The motel owners said the
much-talked about “Toga Party.”
which was held March 10 at the
Holiday Plaza Motel, was one “one
of the better parties in respect to
property damage,” but hastened
to add they could not permit so
much disturbance again.)
The “Mode of Conduct,” agreed
upon by the Motel Council and ap
proved by Dean of Student James
J. Hannigan provides that:
1. Female guests of the Bryan-
College Station motels who are
guests of A&M students shall not
be required to have an adult
chaperon.
2. The motels shall employ tac
tical officers from A&M to main
tain order among student guests.
The officers, however, shall be
careful not to invade the privacy
of orderly student guests.
(Hall said the function of the
tactical officer would be to keep
“motel hopping” by stag students
at a minimum. He would also noti
fy the desk clerk if a party got
too loud or if he received a com
plaint from other guests of the
motel.)
3. The motel manager shall hold
the student guest who registers
for a room responsible for any da
mage done. If there is any damage,
the name of student to whom the
room is registered shall be given
to the office of the dean of stu
dents.
4. The motel managers shall co
operate with any guests, as long
as they maintain common cour
tesy toward other guests of the
motel.
The motel owners also suggest
ed that larger parties be held at
places such as the American Le
gion Hall, the Bryan Country Club
“Rec” Hall and the Knights of
Columbus Hall. They requested
that pai’ties in motel rooms be re
stricted to less than eight persons.
Hall said the meeting Thursday
arose out of a suggestion made at
a meeting of A&M student lead
ers Tuesday night at President
Earl Rudder’s home.
