Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 12, 1966 Miss Your Batt? On Other Campuses Miss your copy of The Bat talion yesterday ? If so, perhaps it was in one of the bundles of papers deposit ed in front of our office. Wished we had the space here to fill you in on all the news cov ered in that issue. Included were more than 30 items. Surely, some of them would have been of in terest to you. If not, we missed a lot of good sleep — until about 4 a.m. You might be interested to know that more students than ever before contributed to yester day’s issue. It included several stories by sophomore journalism majors who had never before had the opportunity to see their work in print — or have it read by their fellow students. They de served a better break that what they got. What’s done is done. This is another day and another issue— and we think it is better than yesterday’s and are confident to morrow’s will be still better. We’re new. We’re trying to get off to a good start. We need your support. ARLINGTON STATE COLLEGE Fall enrollment figures at Ar lington State College have been reported at 11,501 students, a drop of 348 from last fall’s fig ure. Registrar Elwood Preiss at tributes the decrease to the draft and to the presence of the new Dallas Juinor College. The University of Texas Board of Regents has approved pre liminary funds for a new $2.4 million administrative building for the college, which was added to the University system several months ago. Bolte and a graduate of TCU, explains that “What is good for TCU is good for us personally, because it is good for Fort Worth and because it enhances the value of our individual degrees.” CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS Chancellor Harry Ramson has appointed Raymond Vo well, vice- chancellor for public affairs at Texas, as chairman of the “or ange committee.” The committee was formed at last week’s Board of Regents meeting, after presentation of a petition from alumni suggesting that the university adopt a con sistent hue of orange in all uni forms and emblems. A report is expected in time for the board to receive recommendations early in 1967. The committee will stu dy whether the official color of the university should be the same as the hue of orange used in the original seal. BAYLOR UNIVERSITY Baylor observed its first West ern Day Thursday in conjunction with Baylor Day at the Heart O’ Texas Fair and Rodeo. Coeds were granted “pants permission” for classes and to attend the fair and rodeo, and all students were encouraged to wear western-type attire or risk being thrown in jail and fined 10 cents, according to Phil Durren of the Baylor Rodeo Club. TWU Texas Women’s University will operate a 10-by-20-foot booth in the Women’s building at the State Fair of Texas during its run, according to the Daily Lass- O at TWU.

(Neither is medicine, law or social work.) But you can get a lot of the same kind of satisfaction from a job with General Electric. Because we, too, are trying to make life on earth more livable. That can mean a job designing a new satellite to forecast weather. Or supplying nuclear reactors to gen erate electricity more cheaply than ever before. Or controlling smog in ourcities and pollution in our streams. It can mean better lighting to cut down crime, it can mean new rapid- transit systems to unclog traffic. All it takes is brains, imagination, drive and a fairly rugged constitu tion. These qualities can get you a job with General Electric — or with the Peace Corps. If you choose the Peace Corps, we’ll understand. But when the day comes that you leave the Corps, re member us. You’ll still be young, and at General Electric, the young men are important men. 7h)gress /s Our Most Important Product GENERAL A ELECTRIC PEANUTS By Charles M.
