On Tuesday, Jan. 6, while re
turning from the MSC to my
dorm room in Hughes Hall, I
observed a large group of Aggies
playing rugby on the drill field.
The day before had been a rainy
one and the soft ground where
they’d been heaving back and
forth in “scrums” was badly torn
up.
I didn’t say anything at the
time and maybe it’s not any of
my business to do so now, but I
wish that in the future they
would play only on the many
fields set aside for such purposes
unless the ground is dry.
After all, many really impor
tant people, such as visiting MSC
speakers, prospective athletic re
cruits, and parents — besides re
viewing generals, have little more
to judge A&M by than its ap
pearance.
And a big, muddy, grassless
hole right in the middle of one
of our university’s most tradi
tional areas just doesn’t appear
so nice.

A&M to Give Police Course
A&M’s Police Training Divi
sion will conduct a one-week
teacher training course next week
for%instructors from police and
sheriff’s departments.
Chief instructor Ira E. Scott
expects 20 law enforcement in
structors for the course, to be
taught by Robert W. Wagner of
the Texas Engineering Extension
Service’s Vocational Industrial
Teacher Education Division.
Scott pointed out the “meth
ods” course shows people with
out professional teaching expe
rience how to plan lessons and
present them in the best way.
The law officers will be re
quired to plan at least one lesson
and teach it during the 40-hour
course at the A&M Research An
nex.
Enrollment is limited to 20
with 16 reservations already re
ceived from throughout the state.
Four Bryan Police Department
officers have enrolled, Scott add
ed.
AUSTIN (A*) — University of
Texas students taking part in a
special referendum said Wednes
day they think Regents Chair
man Frank Erwin has interfered
with the school administration
and should resign. Results of the
opinion poll were:
That Erwin should resign —
6, 266 to 966.
That Erwin has interefered
with the administration—6,358 to
817.
A total of 7,325 of the 36,000
students took part in the re
ferendum which was held in con
nection with voting on several
changes in the student associa
tion government organization.
Election officials called the
turnout “moderate”. Another re
ferendum earlier this year drew
12,000 votes.
The results are not binding on
anyone. University regents are
appointed by the governor and
confirmed by the state Senate.
The chairman of the board is
elected by the board itself.
Erwin has been at odds with
some student groups following
several demonstration and in
cidents on the campus, the most
recent being the bulldozing of
a number of large trees on the
campus to allow expansion of
Memorial Stadium.

Ode to a Graduating Senior
Tis the week before finals
And throughout Aggieland,
The late lights are burning
And coffee’s in demand.
With head held up high,
He turns toward his class.
The fourth time around,
But this time he’ll pass.
Later the two councils of the
University of Texas system
adopted a resolution expressing
“confidence and respect” for Er
win and crediting him with guid
ing the university to “significant
progress in academic standing
and financial support.” The two
groups were the academic and
medical affairs councils of the
university system.
Tonight on KBTX
To some mean’s graduation;
Squeeze four into five
Years of long labor,
’Til spring to survive.
He sits in his chair
And grins at the class.
He smiles at his prof,
For this time he’ll pass.
And then comes a tap
And a rap on the door.
“Get lost!” says that Aggie
“What’s sixteen times four?’
’Tis the day after his
It’s over and done.
For some it is over,
The battle is won.

“Enough,” says the voice,
“For the price of two beers.
Let’s hit on the town
And drown out our tears,”
For others it’s sorrow
And loud, mournful cries.
The tears on the floor
Are gathering flies.
“I’ll not,” says the Aggie.
“I’ll pass math this time.”
He bends to his books.
“What’s fourteen times nine?’
To some mean’s graduation,
But not to our Ag
He lights his cigar
And takes a long drag.
A shuffle is heard;
The voice, it is gone.
The Ag studies hard
Til the first rays of dawn.
His head bent in sorrow
And pain on his face,
He cries out in anguish,
“I HATE THIS DAMN PLACE!’
His nerves are like butter,
But he knows in his heart
The formulas engrained
Til death do them part.
