3-TO-ROOM ESTIMATES REDUCED
Day Student Restrictions
Will Be Eased In September
TV ‘College BowT
Applicants Slated
To Hear Briefing
Restrictions on the distribution
of day student permits will be eased
for junior, senior and graduate
students who desire to live off
campus during the fall semester,
according to Dean of Students
James P. Hannigan.
Hannigan relieved worries of
crowded dormitory conditions for
both corps and civilian students, in
a report made to The Battalion Fri
day.
IN CONTRAST to predictions
made in early May, Hannigan
speculated that only a very few
students in the Corps of Cadets
would be living three to a room in
the fall semester.
The previous estimates were con
cluded after outfit dormitory as
signments were released two weeks
ago by the Office of the Com
mandant. At that time it ap
peared that as many as 1,500 corps
students might be living triple-
stacked.
About 150 rooms will be set up
to handle three students each in
the civilian dormitories, Hannigan
stated.
He went on to say that this con
dition would probably be alleviated
later in the semester as drop-outs
enabled adjustments to be made.

Dean Frank W. R. Hubert will
brief the students on program
preparation and outline plans for
team selections. The four-man
team will be named in mid-October.
Fifty-nine students have been
nominated by department heads or
have personally expressed an in
terest in the program. Other in
terested students are invited to the
meeting Wednesday.
“Although only four students can
be chosen for the final team, all
will benefit from participation in
the program planned,” the dean
said.
“A good turn-out at the Wednes
day meeting will assure A&M of
the best possible representation in
November,” he added.
The team can win up to five
$1,500 scholarships for A&M plus
national recognition for themselves,
Hubert pointed out.
CONTRACTORS are scheduled
to begin air conditioning Dorms
14-17, in addition to undertaking
other remodeling work which will
increase their capacity, on Feb. 1
next year. The work is scheduled
to be completed by Sept. 1, 1964.
A new dormitory complex slat-1 ed by Sept. 1 of next year and
ed to house approximately 1,000 finished by the second semester of
students will be partially complet- | the 1964-65 school year.
Basement Of Sbisa Hall Set
For Conversion To Cafeteria
The basement of Sbisa Dining Committee is an effort to go along
Hall will be renovated over the
summer for use as a cafeteria start
ing in the fall semester. Dean of
Students James P. Hannigan told
The Battalion Friday.
The decision to convert a por
tion of the dining facilities to cafe
teria operations was made by the
Executive Committee early last
week.
RENOVATION WILL include
dropping the ceiling, putting in a
new floor and installing air con
ditioning, Hannigan said. Cafe
teria equipment normally used dur
ing the summer sessions will be
moved to the basement area.
Civilian students attending school
in the fall will have the option
of either buying a meal ticket for
a definite period of time or eat
ing in the cafeteria on a pay-as-
you-go basis.
NO REFUNDS on meal cards
will be given to students with meal
cards who decide to use the cafe
teria facilities instead, Hannigan
stated.
The legal rebate will still be
given to those students who are
absent for special reasons such as
approved college trips and prac
tice teaching, he added.

Fund Utilization
To Be Problem
H. B. ZachrjL former chairman of the A&M Board of
Directors, has been appointed by Gov. John Connally to head
a 25-member committee which will study the problems facing-
Texas’ state-supported colleges and universities.
Connally said he plans to call an Austin meeting in early
June of the group which he hopes will find a cure for the
problems.
Zachry said better utilization of available funds will be
one of the difficulties faced by the committee. He added
that money alone will not establish standards of excellence
for the institutions of higher education in the state.
Included in Zachry’s personal ideas for better utilization
is the elimination or sormro--*
tion of the Agricultural
MAJ. GEN. E. B. CASSADY
Extension Service which he
said is draining A&M of more
than $4 million annually.
He stated that the Extension
Service takes more money from
education than is spent on opera
tion of A&M’s educational plant.
The organization, which gives
agricultural advice and service to
rural areas, is outdated, Zachry
said.
ZACHRY said the Extension
Seiwice could be replaced as an
information service to farmers. He
suggested that the farmer inter
ested in the latest agricultural
developments could attend the
many short courses conducted by
experts here.
John E. Hutchison, director of
the Agricultural Extension Serv-'
ice, said, “We were very much sur
prised and vex-y much disappointed
at his statements.” He declined
any further comment on Zachx-y’s
statements until he could study
the circumstances prompting the
former board member’s remarks.
Included in the education panel
are Eaid Rudder, president of
A&M, and Harold Dunn, former
member of the Board of Directors.
Dunn is from Amai’illo and is
chairman of Shamrock Oil and Gas
Corp.
Zachry also said that some
teachers ax-e qualified to handle 40
students and should not be limited
to 20. He claimed that many teach
ers at the college level in Texas
ax-e not pi-opei’ly trained for their
jobs.
THE COMMITTEE has been al
lotted $50,000 for its study. Con
nally asked the legislature for an
other $150,000 to finance its work
until it x-eports by Aug. 31, 1964.
The survey by Zachry’s group
will include private schools as well
as public institutions, Zachx-y said.
He expects the group to repox’t
within 12 months.
Connally said he considered
soxxxe 300 outstanding citizens fox-
committee posts before making his
selections which include 19 lay
members and six educators.
BULLETIN
AUSTIN — The Texas Legis
lature’s Conference Committee
on Appropriations released its
report for the fiscal years of
1964 and 1965 at 8 a.m. Tues
day morning. The report shows

A&M University for 1964 and a
total of $9,190,326 for 1965.

the Texas Maritime Academy

1964 to TMA and $104,128 for

Rep. David Haines explained
that the decrease in appropria
tions from 1964 to 1965 is due
to the fact that the 1964 figure
has an additional $60,000 tacked
on for a new home for the presi
dent.
