Students Get More Say-So
In Selection Of Sweetheart
Student Senate adoption of a new selection procedure
for naming the Aggie Sweetheart should put A&M students
much more into the picture. As outlined Thursday night,
the new procedure will lessen faculty and staff control and
give more authority to students and their representatives.
Also removed from past procedure is the election of
semifinalists by the student body at Texas Woman’s Univer
sity. In the past, many have felt that this made the com
petition too much of a girls’ popularity contest.
The newly approved procedure includes:
1. Selection of 30 to 40 semifinalists by TWU dean of
women, previous Aggie sweetheart or a representative, TWU
president of Student Council of Social Activities, A&M Dean
of students or a representative, vice president of Student
Senate and a representative from the senate. (This step re
places the former TWU election).
2. Selection of 10 to 15 finalists by president of senior
class, president of junior class, president of sophomore class *<*
and a senate advisor or his representative. (This step re- >
places the screening of semifinalists by a group of A&M
faculty and staff members)
3. Selection of sweetheart by sweetheart selection com
mittee called for in Magna Carta. (This step remains as in
the past).
Doubtless some may still find fault with the selection
procedure, but The Battalion believes some improvement has
been made, especially in the second step where finalists are
named. Maybe even further improvement can be made in
the future, but at least we have started out in the right direc
tion.

Science Fiction Becomes Reality
The helicopter crew that hois
ted Scott Carpenter out of the
Atlantic after his orbital flight
last May reported that on the
way back to the carrier the astro
naut would at intervals grin, kick
his heels skyward and yell
“Wow!”
In reviewing scientific progress
over the last seventeen years,
perhaps we can best express our
reactions in Carpenter’s one-word
summation: Wow!
When World War II ended in
1945, there were predictions of
gloom in many areas. A depres
sion would set in. Unemploy
ment would be nationwide. Amer
ica would bog down in the post
war doldrums.
What happened was quite the
opposite. The United States
made as much progress in the 15
years from 1945 to 1960 as it
had in the 169 years of its exist
ence before 1945.
America’s population boomed
from 140 million to 182 million.
