NASA is not making grant of fers, but inspected the school with an eye toward future proposals from the university, a spokes man for the inspectors said. The group especially studied Baylor’s physics, chemistry and biolog'y facilities. ★ ★ ★ Baylor students were asked last week to buy bricks in support of the campus library fund. Buy-a-Brick were placed in the dormitories, student union and constitution hall during the four- day campaign. All 5,000 stu dents were urged to buy bricks, being sold at 50 cents per student. A brick for every student en rolled at the university is plan ned in the final library, now un der construction. TCU Grid Stars Make Fraternity Special provisions were neces sary last week to admit TCU football stars Sonny Gibbs and Jerry Jack Terrell to Sigma Chi fraternity. Special action by the Inter fraternity Council and the Com mittee on Student Organizations lifted a probationary ban enough for the fraternity to pledge the two gridders. The fraternity’s appeal was considered on the grounds that Gibbs and Terrell are seniors. Texas Plans New Entrance Planning is underway for a new entrance to the University of Texas. The proposal is a $350,000 East Mall project that will cut through campus from San Jacinto Blvd. to Speedway Ave. Work is due to begin this sp ring under the supervision of campus police.

The Rev. E. George Becker, Lu theran campus instructor, will speak on “Teachings and Prac tices of Lutherism.” Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: After reading the numerous re cent letters in The Battalion deal ing with the subjects of “spirit,” Corps vs. civilian, hazing of freshmen and other such points of great concern, I find myself in great disgust of the thinking this institution is instilling in its students. As I understand, this is supposed to be an academic college institution. Why are we diverting our time, New Houston Biography Due Off Presses Soon WASHINGTON (A 5 ) — A new biography of Sam Houston is scheduled for publication in mid- December, the work of a 73-year- old historian and journalist who lives in nearby Alexandria, Va. The author of this latest of the many volumes which have been written about Houston since his death 100 years ago next July is M. K. Wisehart. En titled “Sam Houston: American Giant,” the book, containing 744 pages, will sell for $10. The publisher’s promotion hails the book as one of the most scholarly and objective biograph ies ever written about Houston — representing research by the au thor off and on over the past 20 years and full-time application to the project since 1957. Wisehart, after experience as a Washington staffer for the old New York Evening Sun pri or to World War I, became a rov ing correspondent for various na tional magazines during and after that conflict. He specialized in in terviewing the famous, including Albert Einstein, Marconi and George Bernard Shaw. “So, it was natural that I be gan to ask questions of great men of the past, when I read a- bout them,” said Wisehart. “That is the way I turned to historical writing, to biographies in parti cular.” HI FI COMPONENTS & ACCESSORIES STEREO AND L.

Adrian Adair Assistant Sport Editors Dale Baugh Photographer effort, energy and brains discuss ing matters of such trivial nature rather than debating matters of a more academic attitude ? What is it about this institution that causes us to dwell upon such matters? Something here is driv ing into us, or causing the con tinuation of, a child’s bend of mind. I even saw a letter in The Batt alion proposing a change in the Town Hall program to present acts that the students would like to hear. Gentlemen, for what you wish to hear, Brenham is not that far away. I feel that greater discretion should be used in se lecting the acts so as to include presentations of a more classical air. After all, the purpose of an “educational institution” is to educate and train toward re sponsibility and maturity. But, why do the concerns and attitudes existing here prevail ? My analysis comes 'down to the presence of the Corps of Cadets here. Militarism necessarily in stills complacency, and in college, where new and original thought and individual thought need to be the goal, the military mass mind of complacency is only a detriment. In addition, the personnel in the Corps look upon their training and their uniform as a big game through which they have glee fully perverted back to their childhood in order to make them selves great leaders and heroes. CORRECTED SCHEDULE Outfit picture for the Aggieland will be made according to the schedule below. Uniform will be class A winter. Outfit C. O.s will wear sabers; seniors will wear boots. Ike jackets may be worn if all sen iors in the outfit can obtain them. Guidons and Award flags will be carried. All personnel in the outfit will wear the billed service cap issued by the col lege. The type of cap worn by underclassmen to and from the picture taking area is left to the discretion of the outfit C. O. Outfits should be in front of the Administration Building by 1230 hrs. on the appointed day. Arrangements should be made by the first sergeant with mess hall supervisors to allow the outfit to be admitted to the mess hall early. 27 Nov. Sqd. 7, Sqd. 8 28 Nov. Sqd. 9, Sqd. 10 29 Nov.

Strange that these men don’t rea lize their military training is for the single purpose of being able to kill more proficiently. So, I generally concur with Mr. Riquelmy’s letter published in The Battalion of Nov. 8 in that \Ve should dispense with the Corps, the 12th Man and the bon fire, and I think it would be a good turn of events to put a dome over Kyle Field converting it into a lecture and concert hall, make Henderson Hall into an art gallery, President Rudder’s home into a drama club and the Tri- gon into a fraternity house and do away With most of the inbred faculty and staff. Maybe this could be a start toward “academic excellence.” Reed S. Armstrong, ’62 GARZA’S Restaurant GENUINE MEXICAN & AMEBIC FOODS 803 S.
