THE BATTALION
Fish Camp Counselor Choice
Will End At 5 p.m. Today
How long does it take a “fish”
to become an Aggie?
No one really knows for sure,
but the YMCA likes to think the
freshmen students—are well on
their way by the time Fish camp
is over, one day ahead of orienta
tion and counseling on campus.
YMCA cabinet officers, com
posed of civilian and cadet stu
dents, were shaping plans for
this year’s camp Sept. 6-9 at the
Methodist Lakeview Assembly
Grounds near Palestine.
Selection of nearly 100 upper
classmen as counselors ends at
5 p.m. today, announced Logan
Weston, YMCA general secre
tary and religious life coordina
tor. Letters of invitation to en
tering freshmen will be mailed

during summer vacation, starting

THE DEVELOPMENT
of Christian leadership charac
teristics will be one of several
overall goals of the estimated 400
freshmen — one-fifth of incom
ing freshmen — who will attend
this year’s camp, Weston said.
Throughout the camp, he con
tinued, “we will stress the com
plete development of spirit, mind
and body.” The three represent
the YMCA triangle, purpose of
its existence.
“I’m hoping that we can em
phasize the necessity of the boys
being on guard in defense of their
religious beliefs,” said Weston,
who will be directing his first
A&M camp since becoming gen
eral secretary last fall. He at
tended last year’s camp as an
observer.
“STUDENTS WILL no longer
be tied to their mother’s apron
strings,” Weston pointed out,
noting students should be made
aware of the “temptations and
opportunities” which will be
“paramount” upon entering col
lege life.
“We think this is important at
this stage of the boy’s develop
ment as he starts out in his life
away from home and its protec
tion,” he said, “and emerges into
a college environment where in
fluences are stronger and divides
his attention and is more de
manding of his time.”
Weston observed students
often find freshmen years are
those times when, “for the first
time in life, they must analyze
and evaluate their personal con
victions.’”
FISH CAMP affords students
an opportunity to meet and talk
with the university’s leading
faculty and staff members in in
formal sessions, and participate
in programs highlighting college
education, aims, importance of
grades, moral standards and val
ues, and how to get along with
others.
Students also take advantage
of boating, softball, fishing and
swimming opportunities during
camp.
Weston said the camp also af
fords students opportunity to
meet other entering freshmen,
learn about the university and
ask questions of the upperclass
men who have had an opportunity
to gain first-hand information
about life here.
The elite camp, opened only to
a select number of entering
freshmen, is growing increasing
ly popular with “students who
have had a well-rounded educa
tion in high school,” Weston
said. The camp seeks students
who have leadership responsibil
ity in their class, sports or com
munity activities.

“If the demands are not so
much as considered by adminis
trative officials, then as chair
man of the Committee on Black
Student Affairs, I will resign my
position and take steps toward
the dissolution of the Committee,”
Lewallen said in the statement.
Dean of Students James P.
Hannigan was contacted Monday
night as to the possibility of dis
ciplinary action against the
group, which included two mem
bers of the Corpa of Cadets.
“THEY HAVE not followed
the proper procedures for a stu
dent or group of students who
have a problem,” he commented.
Dean Hannigan declined to
comment as to possible punish
ment for the black students if
they are charged with violation
of university regulations.
A check of the University Reg
ulations reveal that failure to
render identification upon re
quest of university officials is
subject to suspension from the
university. The 15 students re
fused to identify themselves when
they presented the demands last
Friday.
Suspension for not less than
one full semester is the punish
ment for “Membership in any
group or organization that might
bring discredit to the University.”
The regulations further state that
the Dean of Students shall deter
mine which organizations are in
that category.
The regulations also add that
“every student has the right of
petition and privilege of sugges
tion and constructive criticism.
This does not sanction rebellious
protests against constituted au
thority incompatible with good
order.”

Determining why one deep water well prolifically produced desperately needed drinking
water, while the others pooped, was really no challenge to Welex. They had the years of
know-how in acoustic, radioactive, and temperature logging that quickly isolated the
problem and lead to a life-saving solution.
As a member of Halliburton’s “get up and go” family, Welex is continuously turning
knowledge gained in the petroleum field into valuable techniques for other industries —
all over the world.
The Halliburton group is where the action is. Be a part of it!
