TCU Wants NS A Referendum The student congress at TCU| will be asked to conduct a refer-j endum on the school’s possiblel participation in the controversial! National Student Association. This developed last week after! a petition demanding the refer-! endum was handed the congress.! In addition, the congress will be asked to conduct an opinion poll the question, and to vote in the form of a recommendation to the student body. The NSA question has caused controversy at TCU since the be ginning of the school year. The questioned group is organized nationally to provide for better communications and relations be tween schools. A&M is a former member, but has not renewed membership in over three years. Skirt Question Puzzles Tech Texas Tech women students have voiced disapproval of a col lege ruling barring- culottes from classroom wear. The short skirts, much similar to riding pants, have been classified casual wear —which is outlawed for class room wear. The general provision for fe male casual wear, in “Tech Tips,” provides that women do not wear blue jeans, toreador pants or ber- muda shorts in the residence hall formal lounge or lobby, union building or in any academic building, including the library. Most controversy centered around the classification of cu lottes. The assistant dean of wo men clinched the decision. Tech’s paper, The Toreador, added its approval by saying, “Coeds must remember that there are members of the opposite sex in their classrooms, and what boy can concentrate with a young lady’s bare leg dangling in front of him?” ★ ★ ★ A Tech faculty self-study has outlined organizational frame work for a four or five thousand student college of a more special ized nature. The two-year study is a re quirement for accreditation by the Southern Association of Col leges and Schools. . Consensus of the committee study was that the organization of the college needs to be exam ined with an apparent need for more unity of command within the administration. Both graduate and undergrad uate programs were generally praised, but stress was given to raising the level of graduate work. The group also felt that the Board of Directors needs to de fine the major purpose and goals of the school. Crisis Provokes Texas Picketing The only Southwest Conference school to report demonstrations i result of the Cuban crisis was the University of Texas. Thirteen students quietly pick eted in front of the state capitol last weekend for a peadeful set tlement of the turmoil. tricks or treats!” Sound Off- Editor, The Battalion: The purpose of this letter is to report to you a flagrant viola tion by a cadet sophomore of a number of rules of the official College Regulations, 1962. The regulations involved are in Sec tion II, “Student Life Regula tions,” specifically Section 43 (Subsection 2 and 3) and Section 46 (Subsection 2a). At 10:55 a.m. on Oct. 23, on the walk leading from the Aca demic Building to Nagle Hall, a sophomore used very loud and profane language to threaten physical violence to a cadet freshman, who he required to walk rigidly and at attention during the encounter. Moreover, the sophomore con tinued to berate the freshman de spite two distinct, disapproving glances on my part (the sopho more has freely admitted that he saw me and recognized my dis approval). There were many wit- episode and both confirmed my im- nesses to the students have pressions. By subjecting the freshman to public indignity and humiliation, the sophomore has clearly viol ated generally accepted rules of good conduct and specific college regulations; by threatening the freshman with physical violence, he has not only broken college reg-ulations but has probably im plicated himself under the “law of assault.” Considering that there are strangers on the college campus attending a convention, these violations, had they been noticed by our visitors, would hardly have created a favorable impression of the institution.

I am much more concerned with publicizing both the violations and the regulations sufficiently enough 'to emphasize to all stu dents that there are regulations and laws designed to protect their rights as students and citizens. Let me emphasize that I am not interested in “token acknowl edgment” of these regulations; I should like to see them aggres sively asserted once and for all. Harry P.
