Seniors Leave Behind
Many Accomplishments
Years come and go, but the departure of the Class of
’62 after graduation ceremonies Saturday will leave many
college officials realizing the passing of time more so than
ever before.
Registration of the Class of ’62 back in September of
1958 was the beginning of a very important experiment in
the history of A&M. No longer was the Corps of Cadets
non-compulsory for a student’s first two years, and gone
forever were the branch units of Army ROTC.
The changing of these traditions understandably brought
many complaints from students—but today the changes have
been accepted and the school and its students are moving
forward.
Present senior also arrived on the scene in the midst
of a campaign to decrease the number of freshmen dropping
out of school for various reasons. Once again, the class
lived up to all expectations as the Corps dropout number
went from 213 after the 1958-59 year to 154 the following
term.
Dropout figures among civilians 'were equally impres
sive, with the total hitting only 68 in 1959. The previous
year 91 civilian freshmen had resigned from school.
Academic standards at the college have also taken a
definite jump during the Class of ’62’s four-year tenure.
This is especially true in the Corps of Cadets, where for the
last two years grades have been higher than ever before.
Naturally no college year compares with the senior year
■—and during the past year the class has particularly shined.
Activities such as the Campus Chest, Blood Drive, 12th Man
Bowl and many others were greater successes than in recent
years.
Everyone’s time must come—and surely most graduates
are eagerly looking forward to new adventures in life—but
the remembrance of the Class of ’62 will linger long in the
annals of A&M history.
They arrived on campus in a time of doubt, and will
leave with the entire school anxiously anticipating a bright
future.

Reasons Listed
For Stock Slump
NEW YORK (A*)—Three rea
sons for the current downtrend
of a stock market were advanced
Wednesday by the head of an in
vestment advisory service—along
with arguments to dispute each
reason.
Roger E. Spear, president of
Spear and Staff, said powerful
psychological factors must be at
work to force a Irend counter to
general business.
For one, he said, many people
seem convinced that inflation has
stopped, taking the bloom off the
rose of stocks as anti-inflation
protection.
But, says Spear, “inflation has
only been temporarily slowed
down. Labor won’t be satisfied
with the government’s guidelines

the 2.5-3 per cent range of pro
ductivity rises, consumers have
plenty of money to spend and
large federal deficits loom
ahead.”
A second emotional factor, he
said, is fear of a recession next
year. But Spear contends “the
government is practically a 50-50
partner in business profits and
the administration, with its grow
ing budgetary demands, can be
depended upon to use every

The third factor, Spear said, is
a switch from the practice, wide
spread in the past, of looking at
the climbing stock prices rather
than at the dividend yields of the
stock. The new trend, helping
weaken the market, is to look
more at actual earnings, he said.
