NASA Team
Inspects Baylor
A three-member team of sci
entists has inspected Baylor Uni
versity for possible future grants
from the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration.
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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.”
