Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Teras Friday, April 5, 1963 -—^ - r ' : \ III | Looking Back . . . At This Week Board To Consider Dining Changes The Board of Directors will consider expanding civilian din ing operations at their next sche duled meeting- at the end of the month, Tom D. Cherry, director of the Office of Business Affairs, announced Tuesday. The propos ed change, if accepted, will allow civilian students to eat either family-style as they do now, or dine cafeteria-style in the base ment of Sbisa Dining Hall. In a poll taken of civilian stu dents, The Battalion found con siderable interest in favor of a cafeteria-style operation, with students feeling they could save money by buying meals individ ually, rather than purchasing- meal tickets for family-style din ing. The bill was presented by Rep. David Haines of College Station. President Earl Rudder, Chancel lor M. T. Harrington, L. F. Peter son, R. L. Hunt Jr. and Joe Eas ley spoke to the committee in favor of the bill for Haines. Harrington, Rudder and Hunt listed these reasons for the name change: 1. To increase the school’s pres tige. 2. To aid in securing grants. 3. To help recruit top-flight educators. Name-Change Bill Sent To Subcommittee Lawmakers referred the bill to change A&M’s name to Texas A&M University to a House sub committee for further discussion Wednesday. Student Commission Postpones Election The Student Election Commis sion voted to postpone the gen eral student election from April 4 to April 24. The commission also nullified all previous re gistration of candidates and de clared new registration would be gin Monday. Reason for the postponement was that several candidates lost their eligibility due to scholastic reasons, and filing for the posi tions was the lightest in years.

WASHINGTON GP> — Presi dent Kennedy may find food for thought, if not comfort, in the results of a questionnaire Rep. Olin Teague of Bryan, circulated in his congressional district. Teague has virtually completed the tabulation — and finds that the responses are about 3 to 1 against various proposals back ed by the administration. On one question, which asks: “In general, do you agree with the programs of the Kennedy Ad ministration?” the response was: yes — 689; no — 2,239; no ans wer — 150. Briefly, here is a sampling of the questions asked: 1. Immediate tax cuts are ne cessary for both individuals and corporations to promote national economic growth: Yes — 916; no — 2,046; no answer — 116. 2. Do you favor federal aid to education for construction of schools, paying teachers’ salaries and expanding scientific training: Yes — 527; no — 2,489; no answer — 62. 3. The foreign aid program should be continued: Yes — 931; no — 2,019; no answer — 128. 4. Congress should enact a com pulsory federal program of medi- Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: I do not care whether you print this letter but I do feel you should print some of the many letters from TWU that you will recieve concerning the recent letter from Miss Armstrong condemning A&M and all Aggies. I want to let you know that the defamatory statements of Miss Armstrong are not agreed with on this campus. I am not a Texan but have grown to praise A&M in every way. When I left Florida in September I had the impression that A&M was only a small dis tance from TWU and I was ra ther disgusted when I found out bow far away it was. I also con demned A&M until some of my friends here told me the tra ditions and spirit Aggies hold for their school and other Aggies. Through a friend I began writ ing an Aggie, and I attended a Corps trip. On this occasion I truly learned what it means for a boy to attend A&M. Since this time I have been on your campus twice and I love the campus where there is an education to be sought and is not a complete party school. I have not found the attitudes disrespectful as we might be led to believe by some people. I think the atmosphere at A&M gives a boy an opportunity of becoming a man while receiving an education that is beyond com pare. Phyllis Mullenax ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: Letters are still arriving from Aggies expressing their “unfavor able” sentiments over the let ters from one of our students which ran last week in The Bat talion, but The Daily Lass-0 is signing off publication of them, in an effort to close the regret table incident. I understand you may be having 1 the same trouble with letters coming from this campus. I apologize for them. I hope that most Aggies realize that the majority of our students do hold their brother school and the men there in high esteem and are concerned about the brother- sister relationship. Many of us prefer that our actions through this year, and past years, speak our sentiments — rather than the letters of one or two of our students.
