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-

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.

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.
