I\o More Misunderstanding
The Academic Council decision to require Graduate
Record Examinations of all graduating - seniors probably
accomplished a number of things, but from the student view
point possibly the biggest accomplishment was a clarifica
tion of what is really going on.
Since the first exams were given last year, students have
had anything but a clear understanding of the testing pro
gram. Initially students were in doubt as to the expense of
the tests, which now will be borne by the college. Also there
were questions as to whether the tests were required.
In fact, the initial status of the tests was that “all seniors
must take them, but they will not be a requirement for
graduation.” Needless to say, there were complications and
misunderstandings.
Now, however, we all know. As of next year, the exams
will be required for graduation.
As a result of this requirement decision, the administra
tion got what it wanted in being able to use the tests as a
norm to compare local instruction with accomplishments at
other schools.
And students weren’t really “punished.” The only re
quirement is that the tests be taken, not that a certain
minimum grade must be attained. And the college is footing
the bill.

We were far from surprised to see the Student .Senate
last Thursday vote to disqualify Miro Pavelka from the elec
tion race for freshman class secretary-treasurer. The re
sult seemed inevitable—we only hope the senate and the
election commission will now follow up on a pledge to revise
the College Regulations concerning campaigning for campus
elections.
Pavelka, who tied his opponent in the election, was
found guilty of campaigning in the Memorial Student Cen
ter—a regulation that is fiot included in the Colleg-e Regula
tions. The freshman thus became the second victim within
a year to lose out in a campus election because of misunder
standing of the campaign regulations.
The only bright spot in the disqualification procedure
was the formation of a committee to revise the College Regu
lations campaign rules. This effort deserves hearty back
ing—there definitely is need for improvement and the need
less disqualification of candidates need not continue.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I would personally like to know
what is the matter with Eick
Graham (letter of Jan. 8) and
all so-called Aggies like him.
Are they still smarting over the
University of Texas’ win over
the Aggies on Thanksgiving
Day ? If so, it’s about time they
grew up and became men.
Sports are wonderful if one
doesn’t become blind to their
purpose. They are designed to
give moral, spiritual and physi
cal conditioning to the players in
volved, and to give as much plus
some excellent entertainment to
the spectators.
Concerning the Cotton Bowl
game, I am sure that both teams
played as hard and as sportsman
like as they could with regard to
the school, student body and pres
sure placed on them. The Ag
gies had their chance to beat
TU, but they didn’t. If the
Aggies “outclassed the children
in orange,” but still lost the
game, I bet the U. of T. stu
dents feel they were outclassed
by a bunch of infants.
The main point that I’m try
ing to make is that it’s high
time Aggies grew up and looked
to the future instead of always
looking to the past.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to say a few words
about the letter from Eick Gra
ham concerning Texas Univer
sity’s defeat in the Cotton Bowl.
Although I have nothing good
to say about TU, it does seem
to me that the dignity of our
school is lowered by such a let
ter.
There is no reason to run down
the Longhorns simply because
they met a team that could beat
them. As for the Texas band,
it is one of the few school spirit
ed organizations on the Texas
campus, even though it has a
long way to go to beat our band.
In conclusion, I would like to
say that I think we Aggies have
enough good things to say a-
bout our school without having
to lower ourselves to criticizing
others.

(Special to The Battalion)
WASHINGTON — Total vol
untary support of state colleges
and universities rose to $122,-
614,000 in 1960-61, according to
figures just released by the Coun
cil for Financial Aid to Educa
tion.
This marked a substantial in
crease of 43.4 per cent over the
$85,505,882 contributed in vol
untary gifts during the 1958-59
period. At the same time, these
institutions’ share of all volun
tary support of higher education
rose from 13.6 per cent in 1958-
59 to 15.3 per cent in 1960-61.
The CFAE report covered 164
state colleges and universities
General welfare foundations
contributed more than any other
source in 1960-61, with a total
of $37,443,701, or 30.6 per cent.
Business corporations formed the.
second largest group of contri
butors, giving a total of $33,177,-
185, or 27.0 per cent of the total.
This was a juxtaposition from the
1958 - 59 apportionment, when
business corporations gave 15.2
per cent of total voluntary gifts
and general welfare foundations
ranked below with 12.6 per cent.
Business corporations, however,
accounted for a slightly smaller
percentage of total support of all
colleges and universities in 1960-
61 than they did in the earlier
period. Half of the total contri

Of the total amount contri
