Carps looks to future

Staff Writer
This interview is the final in
stallment of a four-part history
of the Corps. The Batt has at
tempted to outline Corps tradi
tions and purposes as a prelude
to Military Weekend.—Ed
In reporting the history of the
TAMU Corps of Cadets, a re-oc
curring complaint is heard from
all cadets through all ages; that
the Corps will soon be gone.
That was the prediction when
undergraduate girls were admit
ted to the school in 1963 and the
Corps was made completely non-
compulsory in 1965. The size of
the Corps has continually declin
ed since then but it remains a
unique institution and a potent
influence on campus.
Col. Thomas R. Parsons, com
mandant of the Corps, was a jun
ior at the time the freshmen were
moved to the old Bryan airfield
in 1947. “I remember distinctly,”
said Parsons, “our reaction was
that the Corps was finished . . .
ruined forever. Sure enough, we
became stronger because of it. It

“She walked right up to stu
dents, introduced herself and
started talking. She caught them
in the MSC snack bar, the bowling
alleys and under trees,” said
Evans.
“The students responded like
they were aware fo her presence
around campus and were very
willing to answer her,” said
Evans. “Many times she carried
conversations and searched
out the information that she
wanted to know, professionally
yet making the student feel at
ease.”

SATURDAY
was a traumatic period for the
Corps, but we were seeing change
even then and that is what our
cadets are seeing now.”
Parsons continued, “You have
to have change. What must be
done is to change those things
which are bad and build on those
things which are good. I don’t
think everything in the corps is
good—nor do they.”
Parsons spoke of the different
organizations within the Corps.
“I think the continued support of
the various activities in the Corps
program by the members of the
Corps itself have been important
because again that helps to devel
op people for whatever future
pursuit they have,” said Parsons,
“I speak here of organizations
like the Ross Volunteers, the Fish
Drill Team, rifle teams, and the
Cavalry platoon—things of this
nature. It gives everyone that
‘something extra’ we keep talk
ing about in coming to A&M.”
“The things that the Corps does
are a little difficult to measure,
but I still believe myself that the
Corps adds a ‘flavor’ to Texas
A&M that makes it what we know
it as. In other words,” said Par
sons, “a school with high stan
dards of not only academics, but
of conduct of the student body as
a whole in terms of love of coun
try, state and flag. I think they
add this stability to the univer
sity.”
Parsons then set his sights on
the future. “I hope I can forsee
an enrollment increase which is
certainly what we think we an
ticipate for next year,” Parsons
said. “Also with the inclusion of
young ladies in the program, we
will have problems there to work
out jointly, but they will be in
