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.

More than 50 of Scotland’s

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.

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.

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.”

Aggie and I’m proud of it.
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.
As the ‘War Hymn” was being
played, many of our players who
were on the sidelines sat on their

There will be a traditioni

There will even be a conies
in tossing the caber, “if we ce:
find someone who can toss th

of the Scots of Austin. A cabe
is a beam or pole weighing aloe
200 pounds.
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.
