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.

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.

However, I do not wish to press
charges against the two students
unless absolutely necessary. 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.
