Former Editors Of Publications Honor Strader

Ross Strader, dismissed as stu­dent publications advisor this spring by the A&M administration, Friday night was given a framed testimonial resolution and a check for $100 by the retiring editors of all six student publications.

The presentation was made at the annual Awards Banquet of the A&M Press Club at the Memorial Student Centei\

Signing the resolution were Roy B. Davis, editor of the Aggieland, '58; Joe W. Tindel, editor of The Battalion; Arvill G. Newby, editor of The Agriculturist; David Mc­Lain, editor of The Commentator; Geoi'ge Ragsdale, editor of The En­gineer; and William A. Hill, editor of The Southwestern Veterinarian.

In presenting the citation to Strader, Tindel praised the former director for assistance and guid­ance to student editors. Tindel said that the belief Strader held in campus publications’ freedom and the ability of student editors to decide for themselves what was right and true made him an in­spiration and a friend to all who were members of student publica­tions.

Awards of the night included gold watches to the retiring edi­tors and Jim Neighbors, editor of The Battalion during the summer of 1957. Strader presented the awards.

Juniors Get Warning Of Challenge in ’59

‘Keep Fish ’Policy Of Primary Value

Corps juniors were told Tuesday that they must re-evalu­ate the present methods of instruction and “other practices” in the Corps—including traditions—in order to meet the challenge they will be faced with next year.

Speaking to the Class of ’59 in a meeting in Guion Hall were Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant, Vice President Earl Rudder and Don Cloud, Corps Sergeant Major. All three emphasized the need to retain as many freshmen next year as possible and still give them the things they seek at A&M.

Rudder told the juniors that freshmen mortality this] year was as high as 87 per cent in some units while other units such as A Veterinary Medicine Co. had lost only 2 out of 57 “fish.” Overall loss4, of 4th classmen was about 50

A—

per cent, he said.Col. Davis pointed out that

there was no need for correc- tiou of freshmen out on the campus.

“If the upperclassmen can’t in­struct their own freshmen—and do it somewhere other than on the campus between classes—then wc will move some men into their unit that can. . .”, he said, a

Cloud outlined several proposed changes in policy next year, all sub­ject to final approval by the School of Military Sciences. He pointed out that they would have little ef­fect if adopted unless every mem­ber of jthe class actively worked to carry them out.

Some ‘ of the changes mentioned in the fleeting Tuesday were new ideas; others were simply a return to “Old-Army,” Cloud said.

The hew policies effective next year i|a»pproved are:• Slapidardization of priviliges—

A committee of juniors, headed by John Sqykett, has begun work on a revised “Cadence,” which will specify privileges, “cush questions” and in general be used as a “fish” bible.• Speaking and Meeting—4th

classmen will speak to eveiyone on the campus and meet everyone traveling in the same direction as they are walking. During class hours, freshmen will not change direction of travel to meet upper­classmen, nor will they be delayed by upperclassmen they meet.

Freshmen will not “brace” on the campus or in the dining hall but will carry themselves in a soldierly manner and stand at attention when addressed by upperclassmen. Correction on the campus will be limited to pointing out infractions of the Articles of the Cadet Corps.

• Class Formation—Freshmen will have a special class formation about 7:45 each morning to insure morning class attendance.• Bonfire—The Bonfire will be

built on a unit specialization basis, with each outfit doing a job simi­lar in nature to that of their par­ticular unit (Signal Corps handling communications, etc.).
