Editor:
If what Misters Jones, Abel,
Curtis, and Barber stated in
their letter of April 8 is correct,
then we feel that many Texans
are unfortunately set in their
ways. ‘Yankee’ Aggies are not
Texas taxpayers but, we are
sure there are many Texans in
‘Yankee’ state schools who get
a good education at the expense
of ‘Yankee’ taxpayers.
Their statement about fewer
‘Yankees’ and more Texans has,
we feel, as much intellectual
logic as the infamous “Highway
6 runs both ways.”
We believe that a student’s
race, creed, or resident status has

get the board to review the case
if the AAUP would take A&M
off the censured list. President
Rudder was also opposed to pay
ing some $7,000 or $8,000 that
Gibbs said the university owed
him in salary, Davenport added.
Davenport said he replied that
the AAUP probably would not
consider the Gibbs case any fur
ther until the university’s govern
ing board had reviewed the case
and settled with Gibbs’ money
claims.
Dr. Richard Ballinger, English
professor, urged the chapter rec

R. Luedecke that he ask the
board of directors to review the
case.
no bearing upon whether he (or
she) should or should not be per
mitted to express his opinions at
this university. If these were the
deciding factors as to his rights,
then A&M would be losing some
great talent and violating the
First Amendment of the Con
stitution. Last time we heard,
Texas was still a part of the
United States.

Hopkins said he planned to talk
to General Luedecke concerning
the matter.
Professor William Saitta of
Business Analysis reported that
his Committee S on students
plans to arrange a meeting with
student leaders to discuss stu
dent problems.
Dr. Krise, chairman of Commit
tee A on academic freedom and
tenure, said that his panel was
investigating possible “discre
tionary” action the university
may have taken against AAUP
members. He said that he would
be examining salary and budget
records from the last five years
to determine if such a practice
exists.
The A&M AAUP chapter has
177 active members, the largest
it has ever been, according to
membership chairman Bruno J.
Zwolinski, a research director in
the Chemistry Department.
More than 777,000 veterans,
servicemen, wives, widows and
children will receive increased
educational allowances under a
bill signed recently by the Pres
ident.
All trainees under the G.I. Bill
and other VA educational pro
grams were assured by Donald E.
Johnson, Administrator of Vet
erans Affairs, that they will re
ceive the increases automatically
and retroactive to Feb. 1. He
stressed that it is not necessary
to contact the VA to receive them.
Johnson said most of those
studying under the G.I. Bill in in
stitutions of higher learning will
receive one check about May 10,
which will reflect the new regular
monthly rate, and include retro
active increases from February
through April.
The bill increases from $130
to $175 a month the rate for sin
gle G.I. Bill veterans studying in
an institutional full-time pro
gram.
A veteran with one dependent
will receive $205 a month, two de
pendents $230, and $13 for each
additional dependent. Rates are
scaled downward for less then
full-time students.
Single G.I. Bill students going
three-quarter time will receive
$128 a month, $152 with one de
pendent, $177 with two depen
dents, and $10 a month for each
additional dependent.
Half-time G.I. students! will re
ceive $81 if they have no depen
dents, $100 with one dependent,
$114 with two dependents and
$7 for each additional dependent.

lems, he advised engaged couples
to see a marriage counselor. It
will greatly lessen the chances of
unconquerable differences arising
in the marirage, he said.
“Divorce is not wrong,” Ham
ilton said, “especially when it is
needed. But a little help before
marriage will greatly lessen the
chances of it ever happening.”
“One of the best things you
can do before marriage,” he said,
“is take a good long second look.
You might be surprised at what
you see.”
