CADET SLOUCH
‘Well—I guess somebody had to be first!”
BATTALION EDITORIALS
Welcome News
News that the House of Representatives have passed
H. R. 9124, a bill to vitalize the nationwide Reserve Officers
Training Corps, is indeed welcomed at A&M. For apart from
the needed incentive to the members of the Corps of Cadets
it is an endorsement of the tradition of military preparedness,
a tradition that has paid off manyfold in the past. It must
be remembered however that the bill still has to pass the
Senate. Yet remembering that H. R. 9124 finally got out
of committee, after being returned there many times, is an
encouraging sign that the legislators realize the responsibility
of encouraging, and supporting such a program. It should
be clear to all reasonable people that this university has a
rich military tradition that should be cherished. Part of
the responsibility of an educational institution such as A&M
today is to continue as a source of officer manpower. This
proposed legislation can help fulfill that responsibility by
encouraging scholarship and by helping those desirous of a
military career to qualify for a commission.

Grads Sought
To Counsel
Texas Youth
James H. Berry, Office Manager
of the Bryan office of the Texas
Employment Commission, urges
college graduates of both sexes
with the ability to work con
structively with youth to apply
at the TEC office for one of the
250 counselor positions to be filled
as part of a massive state-federal
effort scheduled to begin in Sept
ember to improve the work skills
and employability of thousands of
un-employed Texas youth.
“Tests will be given on June 27
and trainee selections will be made
before an intensive 8 to 10 week
training session begins in mid-July,
so there is no time to lose,” Berry
said.
Starting salary for these coun
selor positions will be slightly
over $5,000. During the training
period trainees will be paid sub
sistence and transportation costs.
The degree requirement can be
met by a degree in any field, and
no experience is required.
“There are no doubt many re
cent college graduates, including
some in technical and scientific
fields, who will find in this pro
gram the same kind of challenge
that young Americans have found
in the Peace Corps,” Berry stated,
adding that pilot projects have
shown that counselors in their
early and middle twenties often do
a superior job in working with
disadvantaged youth.
Youth counselors will give in
tensive personal attention to all
employment related needs of youth,
with emphasis upon motivation
toward becoming skilled, produc
tive, and responsible citizens. Close
cooperation will be maintained
with schools, community agencies,
governmental groups, and employ
ers to achieve the best possible
utilization of community resources.
“For those seeking a challenging
opportunity to serve their state
and nation, working in this pro
gram as a youth counselor can be
an exciting and rewarding ex
perience,” Berry declared.
Interested persons should con-
their TEC office at 409 North Col
lege Ave. Bryan, for full informa
tion and application blanks.
Commission
Takes Steps
For Safety
The Texas Highway Commis
sion today took another gaint step
in its continuing attack on traffic
accidents by appropriating $1-1%
million for installation of safety
devices on the Texas highway sys
tem during the 1964-1965 fiscal
year.
The money appropriated by the
Texas Highway Commission will
cover the cost of the installation
of traffic control signal lights,
special signing and delineation, il
lumination of high accident loca
tions, control of access with bar
rier on selected highway sections
and other traffic safety improve
ments.
The action was another move
marking awareness of the Texas
Highway Commission to the na
tion’s increasing traffic toll.
“The Highway Department con
stantly is on the alert to mini
mize accident dangers and to im
prove our safety factor,” accord
ing to Herbert C. Petry, Jr., Com
mission Chairman.

Dad, you never had it so good . . . for so little. Mustang
looks and performs like a European road car—but look
at its price! Ford’s totally new total performer carries
four in roomy comfort and has a generous 8H-cu.
ft. trunk!
Mustang comes with standard features that are often
extra-cost options on other cars. Bucket seats, sporty
3-speed floor shift, all-vinyl interior, wall-to-wall carpet
ing, padded instrument panel, front seat belts and
heater are a few examples. There’s lots more for every
body, including sports car buffs.
