Techsans Want
To Be Texans
’67, Year of the . . . Name Change?
The idea of changing the name of College Station is
now history, but there is another movement out in West
Texas for another name change.
Students, faculty members and ex-students of Texas
Tech at Lubbock have launched what they hope will be a
successful campaign to change the name of that college
to Texas State University.
According to the Tech student newspaper, “The Uni
versity Daily,” a name-change committee has given support
to a proposed opinion survey which would be carried out
by the Tech board of directors.
“The survey plan,” says the paper, “originated by Stu
dent Association President Max Blakney and proposed by
the Association, would provide a basis for action by the
Board’s Name-Change Committee.”
In a separate move, the paper continues, the commit
tee kicked off a “Texas State in ’68” campaign in an effort
to “obtain agreement on the name change before the
1968 special session of the state legislature.
The committee, which claims to represent a majority
of Tech students and faculty and some 6,000 members of
the Ex-Students Association, supports the name Texas
State University. According to the “Daily”, the name
received a majority of votes from both students and faculty
in polls taken from both students and faculty in polls taken
this past spring and in the 1964-65 school year.

Texas A&M has had a repu
tation for being an all-male mili
tary institution. The “all-male”
part of the title is a thing of
the past. The “military” is not
as prominent as it used to be.
Everyone should at least give
the Corps of Cadets a chance
before deciding to be a civilian.
Corps life is not all peaches and
cream. For you incoming fresh
men, the fact is that you may
think a trip to the devil’s lair
would be a relief.

were probably true. But you’ll

you life. Corps fish will have
fish buddies in the same boat
they are in. In a few weeks, the
bond of friendship will be tied

“Purpose of the course is to

Good luck, fish Jones. Welcome
to Aggieland.
The “Texas State in ’68” campaign will be carried out
by the committee in cooperation with the Tech faculty,
student and ex-student groups.
Foreign Student Enrollment Drops To 334
The paper states that the purpose of the campaign
will be to convince the ex-student association that the name-
change issue must be faced. Only when they are so con
vinced are they likely to accept the survey proposal.”
With the College Station name change now dead, may
be those industrious persons who took their time to con
tribute a new name proposal for our own CS would like
to continue their service by helping out these Tech students
with their name change.
Possibly with a little outside backing their measure
will succeed. Besides, it would give the Aggies a chance
to put another t.u. on their football schedule. t.S.u. that
is. —W.G.
A&M Staff Aid Vocational Workshop
The four-man teaeher-training
staff of Texas A&M’s Engineer
ing Extension Service will assist
in a vocational industrial teach
ers state workshop next week in
Austin.
Basil M. Hackney said more
than 400 teachers will join in
evaluations of shop, curriculum
and library organization of voca
tional programs in public schools.
A&M delegates in addition to
Hackney include Louis R. Ma-
neely, Dewey Cowling Jr. and
Eugene C. Fisher.
A drop in second semester for
eign student enrollment at Texas
A&M was noted by foreign stu
dent advisor Bob Melcher.
Second term enrollment is 334,
down 76 from the initial semester.
First semester registration of
international students totaled 410
from 54 countries. Forty-seven
countries are represented this
term.
University enrollment is 4,378.
Melcher said 397 foreign stu
dents enrolled for the second
summer term in 1966.
India continues to lead with 46
students, two fewer than last
semester. Pakistan has 38, off
eight from last term. Other lead
ers include the Dominican Repub
lic with 31, China, 26, Mexico, 22,
Tunisia, 18, and the United Arab
Republic, 16.
Comprising the major part of
the enrollment are 219 graduate
students. Freshmen rank next
with 33, while sophomore, jun
ior and senior classes report 23
each. Thirteen persons are list
ed as special students.
The semester ends August 25.
“Local officials have responsi
bility in the event of an emer
gency. They should know howto
acquire state and federal assist
ance that is available,” he added
