Texas Changes
Summer Schedule
A 12-week, two-semester sum- jrt
mer schedule of classes was rein- •• |
stated at Texas University last si-
week. Since 1959, the university
has operated on a nine-week, one-
semester summer schedule.
Two basic reasons were given f
for the change by University
President Dr. Joseph R. Smiley. |
They were: t
1. “Increasing necessity of all
colleges and universities to oper
ate as nearly as possible on a
year-round basis.”
2. “Increase appropriations
from the Texas Commission on
Higher Education, which consid
ers only the total semester hours
compiled by the student body dur
ing the year.”
Powell’s Expenses Eyed
WASHINGTON (A 3 ) _ Rep.
Omar Burleson, D-Tex., who
keeps tabs on the costs of all
congressional junkets, is one of
the least traveled members in
the House.
Burleson is in the spotlight
now because of his inquiries into
the recent highly publicized Eu
ropean tour of Rep. Adam C.
Powell, New York Negro demo
crat.
Many House members concern
ed that the meanderings of Pow
ell and two attractive women
aides around Parisian night spots
would adversely affect public op
inion regarding all congressional
Sound Off-
Editor,
The Battalion:
... “I understand that everybody got a date application
today! Who is this Aggie named Slouch?”
Does anyone other than us feel
that the friendliest campus in the
world has now come to possess
the chilling atmosphere common
ly associated with a morgue ? Ob
viously, not much thought one
way or the other is being given
to the deterioration of one of
A&M’s longest-standing tradi
tions.
How much does it cost to say
“Howdy” when approaching a
fellow-Aggie ? How much incon
venience is it to offer the hand
of friendship when passing an
other Aggie on campus ?
It is very disconcerting to us to
pass someone, say “Howdy,” and
then consider ourselves lucky to
get a nod, grunt or smile in re
turn. When it becomes accept
able for a freshman to speak and
whip-out to non-regs at his own
discretion, and when corps and
non-corps students make a game
out of seeing who will break down
and speak first, then, and immedi
ately, something must be done!
Company E-3 fish are instruct
ed to speak and whip-out to
everyone, without exception. If
they fail to. do so, they can ex
pect to suffer the consequences.
Is this any more strict than it
should be ? And if freshmen must
do this, then why not everyone
else, including corps seniors and
non-regs ?
Let us all make an honest ef
fort to restore the “Spirit of
Aggieland” to the campus, itself.
How else can we convince the
rest of the world that such a
spirit even exists.

Two approaches to the
“man's deodorant" problem
If a man doesn’t mind shaving under his arms, he will probably
find a woman’s roll-on satisfactory. Most men, however, find it
simpler and surer to use Mennen Spray Deodorant. Mennen Spray
was made to get through to the skin, where perspiration starts.
And made to work all day. More men use Mennen Spray than any
other deodorant. How about you? 640 and $1.00 plus tax
