THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, November 30, 1962 | Looking Back . . . 1 At This Week I Directors Approve Room Rent Hike An increase in dormitory room rent to $20 per month was an nounced this week by the A&M System Board of Directors. The directors, meeting in Aus tin, approved the increase to be come effective June 1, 1963. Main reason for the decision to hike room rent was the fact that dormitory fiscal operations have been in the red for three of the past four years. * In addition, several improve ments and other construction projects are on tap. Among them are improved lighting in the halls, new roofs on 16 dormitor ies, interior renovations in Dorm JL3 and new furniture in several of the present dormitories. ‘Wlio’s Who’ Selects 37 nouncement of each candidate’s approval came from the election commission. A run-off is scheduled Dec. 14 to complete balloting for fresh man offices. ( Library Changes Journal Locations A major change in the place ment of scientific and technical journals was announced during the week by Cushing Library Di rector Robert A. Houze. All current scientific and tech nical journals, plus unbound is sues of every scientific and tech nical journal, are now being placed in special periodical read ing rooms. The change provides an open stack arrangement for current periodical files and constitutes the beginning of major improve ments within the Library, Houze said. Thirty-seven A g g i e s were named during the week to “Who’s Who Among Students in Amer ican Colleges and Universities.” The announcement was made Tuesday by Dean of Students James P. Hannigan. Students chosen for the honor were nominated by students and faculty-staff members. A staff- student selection committee se lected the winners, who were then approved by the national Who’s Who headquarters. Factors considered in the se lection were scholastic standing, leadership, contributions to the school and extracurricular activ ities. 85 Freshmen In Election Eighty-five freshmen were ap proved during the week for posi tions on next Wednesday’s fresh man election ballot.

Editor, The Battalion: With the split between the Corps and civilians apparently widening again (witnessed-by re cent letters to The Battalion), it would seem to us that many Ag gies have forgotten that A&M was founded as an institution of higher learning. Yet after read ing what Chris Schaefer would erroneously claim to be a piece of masterful prose, we cannot help but wonder how we civilian students have put up with this sort of venom for so long. For the fact is that A&M is run by the Corps, for the Coi'ps, in spite of the fact that civilians are in the majority. If the Corps were so good and bene ficial as its supporters claim it to be, there would obviously be no reason for the Corps to al ways be on the defensive. Everything wrong with A&M is blamed on the civilians. Civil ians are “two percenters” because few of them attend yell prac tices, only upholding the tradi tion of the 12th Man by stand ing throughout football games and “talking it up.” Non-regs are criticized for not whipping out and speaking, when the tra ditional handshake has become cold and impersonal, and a me chanical “Howdy!” better left un- HI FI COMPONENTS & ACCESSORIES STEREO AND L.

A Corps Aggie has even said that he would like to see the ci vilians isolated in some part of “leper colony,” only allowed the concession of attending classes here. We will vigorously defend the traditions of Aggieland still worth defending, but those tradi tions are becoming increasingly fewer. The tradition of Aggie we sing The Spirit of Aggieland, The War Hymn or The Twelfth Man. It has been suggested that non- regs might leave this “ram shackle place,” but we never run from a fight. And that fight, as we see it, is Texas A&M’s fight for life as a great institu tion. Until we as Aggies settle our petty differences, A&M will never rate the title “university.” Job Calls ogy and health and phyiiti! cation. rr ■riBadhaririBinil rilfii b livniiii The following firms will inter view graduating seniors in the Placement Office of the YMCA Building: Monday E.

The possibility that a non-reg could be even remotely “gung-ho” and have the Spirit that once prevaded A&M is a frace to many members of the Corps.
