Corps - Civilian Melee
Criticized By Dean
Dean of Students James P.
Hannigan sharply criticized par
ticipants in Monday’s student dis
turbance in the north dorm area
and called for both Corps and
civilian leaders to help prevent
a recurrence.
An estimated 500 students took
part in the outbreak, apparently
touched off by an incident early
Saturday morning that damaged

manders in the Corps of
Cadets for 1966-67, was de
livered to The Battalion office
Monday, a short time before
last night’s disturbance in the
north dorm area. The incident
refers to a water fight between
Corps and civilian students last
month.
Editor,
The Battalion:
It is the voiced opinion of many
civilian students that cadet com
manders have given their approv
al, secret or otherwise, to the
destructive activities that have
arisen from the Corps-civilian
watertight.
This is definitely not true!
Cadet leaders are disgusted
with Corps members that have
taken the water splashing beyond
limits of Aggie “good bull.”
However, various members of
the Corps are not the only guilty
culprits. Watertight incidents in
the Sbisa area this year have been
provoked by both civilian and
cadet AGGIES.
As the cliche goes, “there are a
few rotten apples in every lot.”

“I’ve seen kindergarten kids
behave better than some of those
tonight,” Hannigan said late
Monday. “It was awfully childish
and it certainly doesn’t improve
the Aggie spirit.”

This can easily be applied to all
individuals guilty of damaging
pranks in this so-called Corps-
civilian feud.
Commanders of cadet units are
doing everything possible to cur
tail any such future activity by
students under their command. It
is the expressed desire of the
undersigned that civilian dorm
leaders do likewise.
According to present housing
plans, next year’s Corps-civilian
members in the Sbisa dorm area
will be about the same as those
under present conditions. It is
our primary desire to have one
of the best possible relationships
between civilians and cadets.
We (all Aggies) are known for
our spirit. Let us use this spirit
to build the Aggie reputation, not
destroy it. Let us control those
few individuals that give both the
Corps and civilian student body
a bad name with their prankish
actions.
We would also request that the
class of 1966 continue in their
role as leaders and assist the
class of 1967 in an attempt to
maintain and restore order among
the student body.
Respectfully,
1966-67 Unit Commanders
ministration officials had been
summoned.
Hannigan, Col. D. L. Baker,
Commandant of the Corps, and
Director of Student Affairs Ben
nie Zinn all pleaded with the
crowd to disperse but were greet
ed with various jeers and obsceni
ties.
The incident broke out about
6:30 p.m. Monday when Corps
units assembled to observe re
treat formation. Witnesses re
ported that civilian students be
gan throwing eggs at members
of the Corps while the flag was
being lowered.
After the evening meal one
fistfight reportedly broke out be
tween a civilian and Corps stu
dent, and several hundred stu
dents assembled in the dorm
quadrangle.
Corps students were pelted
with rotten eggs, fruit and water.
The newly-appointed Corps Com
mander, Eddie Joe Davis, was
doused with water when he ap
proached civilians to appeal for
order.
A civilian student attempted to
douse Maj. Robert B. Moore, duty
officer for the Commandant’s Of
fice, but missed the officer.
“I’m pleased with the way
commanders handled themselves,”
Baker said. “If they hadn’t got
their units in the dorms it could
have been a lot worse.”
The civilian outburst was ap
parently initiated by civilians in
reprisal for water damage in
Dorms 20 and 21 early Saturday
morning. Unknown culprits cut
off all water and electricity in
the dorms, removed heads from
toilets and then flooded the
dorms.

Commanders Deplore Strife
Aggies Stay Alive,
Drop Texas, 9-5
Showdown Battle
May Decide Title
In the seventh, two Aggie
errors, one by Hillhouse, brought
in reliever Billy Johnson, who
settled Texas on one hit the rest
of the way.
Johnson came in with two men
on and no outs. The first batter
to face him sacrificed, but John
son fanned the dangerous Gid
eon and retired Darrell Johnson
on a short fly to center.
The Aggies added an insurance
run in the seventh on Billy
Crain’s solo homer to right. In
the ninth, after singles by Thomp
son and Cobb and a walk to
Koonce, Joe Staples walked to
force in the final run.
Hillhouse heceived credit for
his seventh win of the year while
Robert Wells took the loss, even
though he alowed but three hits
in five innings.

AUSTIN—For 20 of the last 40 years, including six
of the last seven, the final two-game series between Texas
and Texas A&M has decided the Southwest Conference base
ball title.
This year is no exception, and for the first time there
are a few niore elements included.
The Aggies and Texas tangled here Monday and A&M,
having to win to stay alive and keep the Longhorns from
winning their 19th title in the last 25 years, trounced Texas,
9-5.
Now the stage is set for
the important second game
of the series, scheduled at
3 p. m. today.
But with a strange combination
of events, which includes three
other games, the race could finish
in an unprecedented four-way tie.
That multiple deadlock could
come about if these things hap
pen:
—A&M beats Texas today.
—TCU beats A&M in their
possible (A&M will have to play
TCU if they beat Texas today)
Saturday makeup game at Fort
Worth.
—Baylor sweeps Tuesday’s
makeup doubleheader at Waco
with SMU.
Those results would leave
A&M, Texas, TCU and Baylor
tied for the top with 9-6 records
and would snarl the SWC worse
than it ever has been snarled.
Never has there been more than
a two-team tie in the baseball
race.
In Monday’s game, A&M, be
hind the hitting, not the pitching,
of Steve Hillhouse, pushed across
five runs in the second inning,
but Texas nibbled and scratched
for single tallies in the second
and fourth, sandwiched around a
three-run homerun by Joe Gideon
in the third to tie the count.
Hillhouse, who is considered
the “Texas Killer” because of his
5-1 career record against the
Longhorns, delivered an opposite
field, three-run double to high
light the second inning five-run
spurt.
The Aggies scored what proved
to be the winning tally in the fifth
on walks to Lou Camilli, Neil
Thompson and Lance Cobb and
Alan Koonce’s fielder’s choice.
A&M added another run in the
inning on Richard Schwartz’s sin
gle behind second to make the
score 7-5.
Meanwhile, Hillhouse was hav
ing his problems. The lefty had
been in constant trouble from the
beginning and two disputed plays
co^t him four runs.
“I scored it A&M 9, Texas 3 and th’ umpires 2!”
