1 THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, October 3, 1963 CADET SLOUCH BATTALION EDITORIALS Connally Encourages Cooperation, Publicity Texas educators must strive for closer cooperation with industrialists and legislators if adequate financing for higher education is obtained, Gov. John Connally said this week. However, he also reminded educators that while they seek to cooperate, they should also concentrate on publicizing their own accomplishments. He encouraged all educators to make known to the public what is being accomplished by their institutions and faculty and staff members. At the same time Connally called on university officials to “take a good hard look at yourselves” to see if every thing offered by the institutions is necessary. We would have been greatly pleased had the Governor added that institutions should also take a look at all their degree programs to be sure that everything that is necessary is being offered. We feel that the number one step in answering the call for cooperation would be for all our educational institu tions to consult industrial and professional people in all fields when deciding what courses will be required within a given degree plan. What good will a well balanced educa tion be if it doesn’t fulfill the needs of what a future em ployer expects of a university graduate. Once the institution has satisfied itself that it is offering an education that adequately trains a student to take his place in industry, it should then spend endless hours letting the public know that top-notch personnel is being produced at the institution. by Jim Earle ]f a gplp es Be Played In Austin City Park Nov. H B l AUSTIN <A>> — The pipes will be piping Nov. 10 among the pecans and oaks of an Austin city park as an expected 1,000 Texas Scots gather to celebrate their heritage. More than 50 of Scotland’s many clans will be represented. “This is the first all-Texas, pure-Scottish, unsponsored ga thering of Scots from all clans yet held in Texas,” said R. E. McDonald of Leander, Texas’ chieftan of clan. “It is in the Scottish tradition and I feel sure there will be a great day in store Bulletin Board “Up here! sign!” think I’ve found th’ guy who stole our outfit The job of publicizing Texas A&M University should not be left to a few people in the University Information Office, but should be taken up by everyone who has an interest in the school. Faculty members, students and former students should consider as part of their everyday responsi bility to A&M University the job of letting the citizens of Texas and the U. S. know that the demands of industry are being met at A&M. Sound Off University Of Tennessee Revises Admission Policy KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (IP) — A new admissions policy affecting high school graduates with less than a “C” average will be ini tiated by the University of Ten nessee beginning with the pre sent academic year. The Uni versity will allow students in this grade category to enter pro visionally as freshmen for sum mer, winter and spring quarters, provided they are strongly moti vated to extraordinary work, but they will not be admitted to the busy fall quarter, according to - Div Herman E. Spivey, academic ■ vice president. By prohibiting enrollment in the fall quarter, the University is moving to counteract statis tics which show that this session has the highest enrollment, the greatest number of extra-curri cular activities and by far the highest total of drop out of the four quarters. With the statistical histories of previous “C” average students predicting little success in col lege for them, such applicants will find motivation and hard work the keys to their continued study. Their entrance to the University Editor, The Battalion: As usual on Monday nights at this time, I have just returned from Yell Practice. Only this one was different. Tonight I have a sort of sick feeling in my stomach. I am sure that I can count myself in the majority that our yell leaders had reference to when they said that the majority of us have the Spirit, but a minority does not. I have been an Aggie here on campus for going on three years now, but being an Aggie goes back farther than that for me. My Dad is out of the Class of ’38, and one of my two uncles is of the Class of ’50. In my Father’s engineering busi ness there are three more Aggies in responsible positions. The day I was born there was an an nouncement in the Dow Chemical you-know-whats during the entire “War Hymn.” But when the “Spirit” was played and not even one of them stopped on their way to the dressing room, it was a little to much to take. This is the team that I’m going to have to watch as I stand be side my Dad in Ft. Worth at his 25th Class Reunion and say, “We sure are proud of them, they give their all for our school.” Jim Griffin ‘65 THURSDAY The Texas A&M Handball Club will meet on the main floor of Deware Field House at 7:30 p.m. The Abilene Club will meet in Room 208 of the Academic Build ing at 7:30 p.m. The Amarillo Hometown Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the YMCA Building.

My gripe is this: Granted that the sent-off the team got when they left for Baton Rouge wasn’t much, but at 10:30 a.m. most of us are in class. But last Fri day, there were at least 12 out fits over at Henderson to give the team a send-off to Ohio, the team didn’t even have the courte sy to come out on the porch and acknowledge our presence. But tonights Yell Practice us the topper to it all.

Gov. John Connally made th date official by declaring No: 10 as “Scots of Texas Day.” “A big percentage of settlec migrating from the East in th 1820s were Scots or early Ameri cans of Scottish descent,” sai: Gordon. “The imprint of these pioneering Scotsmen has been lei: throughout the state.” An interesting sidelight t| Texas history is the fact that il stone cutters from Aberdeen, Scotland, were brought to Texas in the 1880s to prepare the piii granite blocks from Marble Falls that make up the state Capitol.
