3,000
Expected
In Corps
Enrollment at Texas A&M has
already reached a new high pas
sing the old mark of 8,651 set
in 1946.
“There will be 1,000 more stu
dents than last year,” President
Earl Rudder predicted during
the All-University night pro
gram Monday night.
Rudder also said that Col.
Baker, commandant of the Corps,
had informed him that there
were more cadets in the Corps
than last year. Corps enroll
ment is expected to pass the
3,000 point before registration
ends Saturday.
Coed enrollment is also up.
This year 373 coeds registered
as compared to 254 last year.
Freshmen numbered 1,854,
compared with 1,534 in 1964,
according to Registrar H. L.
Heaton.
Of these new students 77 per
cent joined the Corps of Cadets.
This gave the Corps 1,416 new
Fish, as compared to 1,499 last
year which was 95 per cent of
the Freshman class.
This large increase in the stu
dent body was not experienced
last year. In 1964 8,221 stu
dents registered, an increase of
only 101 over t/he previous year.
During spring enrollment only
7,390 returned. The only item
that increased was the number
of coeds. In the spring of ’65,
278 coeds registered.
The Corps has been so
swamped this fall that they have
created a holding company and
squadron to handle the over
flow.

Head Coach Gene Stallings in
structed the Corps of Cadets
Monday night to refrain from
yelling while opposing football
teams have the ball because
“that’s just not the way Aggies
are supposed to do things.”
The new Aggie coach, in his
first general confrontation with
the student body over conduct at
football games, told an All-Uni
versity Night audience in G. Rol
lie White Coliseum he is more
interested in winning games
through team ability instead of
crowd antics.
“I want to win because we stop
the opponents,” Stallings said,
“not because they’re stopped by
the yelling of students.
“I want to win because our
team is properly prepared, or
because we play a little harder
in crucial situations or because we
rise to the occasion when the
situation demands,” he continued.
The 1956 A&M graduate said he
was embarrassed last year while
an assistant at the University of
Alabama over the image project
ed by Aggies at some games, not
ably the University of Arkansas
contest.
“One thing we have here is
pride,” he stressed, “and no A&M
student with pride should conduct
himself that way at ball games.”
Last season’s Arkansas game
was delayed several minutes when
the Aggie student body kept up
such a steady stream of noise the
Razorbacks were unable to run
offensive plays.
That action resulted in unfavor
able press reaction throughout
the Southwest which later attract
ed national interest.
“The game is supposed to be
won or lost in the arena,” Stall
ings pointed out, “and my foot
ball players feel the same way.”
Stallings said late Monday
night his request was in the
best interests of the university.
“I’m against a lot of things,”
he said, “but I’m not against any
thing that’s best for A&M.
“I know this is best for A&M.
‘The students shouldn’t conduct
themselves a certain way be
cause I or President Rudder want
them to;” he added — “but be
cause the way they have been
acting just isn’t right.
“The players don’t want that
and the students should respect
the players,” he continued.
Stallings touched briefly on
the team’s opening game loss to
LSU and Saturday’s encounter
with Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
“If we don’t do better against
Georgia Tech than we did last
week I’ll be disappointed,” he
said.
“Besides, if we have to lose one,
I’d rather lose that first one than
the last one,” he contended, refer
ring to the season finale against
archival University of Texas on
Thanksgiving Day.
The new coach’s no-holds-barred
address highlighted the All-Uni
versity Night program, which in
cluded talks by President Earl
Rudder, Dean of Students James
P. Hannigan, Acting Athletic Di
rector Barlow (Bones) Irvin and
P. L. (Pinkie) Downs Jr., mem
ber of the class of ’06.
Max Lerner, syndicated column
ist, international affairs expert
and will have as a lecture sub
ject “The American Political
Scene;” Dr. Henry A. Kissinger,
consultant to the U. S. Arms
Control and Disarmament
Agency, former consultant to the
National Security Council and will
have as a lecture subject “Amer
ica and Europe; A New Relation
ship;”
Vance Packard, author of The
SCONA XI speakers will be
announced at a later date after
the proposed speakers have ac
cepted an invitation to speak at
the conference. The Far East:
Focus On Southeast Asia (The
Challenges of a Dynamic Region)
is the topic selected for SCONA
XL
In the budget approval session,
the Council passed the following
sums to these standing commit
tees: Bridge, $71; Public Re
College Station United Fund
Schedules $20,000 Goal
Directors of the College Station
United Chest have set a $20,000
goal for the annual campaign
expected to open in October.
The board raised the figure
$1,000 over last year’s $19,000
in a meeting Monday afternoon
with drive leaders. Seventeen
agencies will receive assistance
from the Chest.
Dr. Paul C. Crawford, budget
committee chairman, reviewed
requests from the agencies earlier
this month and reported Monday
at the board meeting on campus.
Clark C. Munroe, campaign di
rector, discussed organizational
plans. A kickoff breakfast in
the Memorial Student Center
will open the community drive.
Last year College Station con
ducted its Chest campaign at the
same time as Bryan, reaching the
goal in 10 days. Directors Mon
day talked the possibility of the
same plan this year but delayed
setting the College Station dates
pending conferences with Bryan
United Fund leaders.
Dr. Chris H. Groneman, United
Chest president, praised Craw
ford, Munroe and others for prog
ress shown in campaign prepara
tions.
“This high interest will spread
from the board over the commun
ity,” he predicted, “and I am
confident that the community will
meet the Chest requirements in
a minimum of time. The agencies
need and deserve our support.”
Robert L. Smith Jr., director
of A&M’s Data Processing Center,
will head the campus phase of the
drive. The off-campus direction
falls to Dennis Goehring.
