By The Associated Press Texas Republicans, spurred to a

national ticket, turned their state convention Tuesday into a folly to kick off campaigning for Hie November elections.

Miller’s charge that the John­sons inserted an anti-Negro clause in a deed, to Austin land elicited cries of happy surprise and a standing ovation led by a Negro delegate.

an unspectacular state convention Tuesday, pausing occasionally for brief bursts of applause for Presi­dent Johnson and other Democratic nominees.

The major tasks of adopting a party platform and selecting party officers were accomplished with­out a test vote of the 5,669 dele­gates or a voice raised in argu­ment from the convention floor.

Many delegates and most spec­tators deserted the hall during the final droning minutes.

The convention lasted three hours

Placement Service Slates Orientation

Job prospects and the operation of the placement service for grad­uating students will be outlined at meetings next week, announced W. R. Horsley, placement officer.

Seniors and graduate students are invited to attend one of the meetings at 4 p.m. on Sept. 22, 23 and 24 in the Memorial Student Center Assembly Room.

“The first on-campus interviews for graduating students are sched­uled here by prospective employers for the week of Oct. 12,” Horsley said.

Students unable to attend have been urged to contact Horsley’s office on the third floor of the YMCA Building.

“This is the type of convention I like,” Connally said later, with a grin.

Sen. Ralph Yarborough, whose supporters challenged Connally un­successfully at the first state con­vention in June, was not present. He was in Dallas Monday night for a big campaign fund dinner but returned to Washington Tuesday for a Senate vote.

When the Corps of Cadets be­gan their operations for the 1964- 65 school year, they did so under a completely revised set of rules. “The Cadence,” “Aggie Code of Honor,” “Social Customs,” “Cadet Code of Conduct” and ‘Articles of the Cadet Corps” have all been in­corporated in “The Standard.”

This new Corps guidebook is divided into two sections, “Cad­ence” and “Articles of the Cadet Corps.”

The “Cadence” section gives a brief history of the university and presents the tradition of the institution and the Cadet Corps. It also lists, in its code of conduct, the high ideals expected of every cadet. In both the “Cadence” and the “Articles,” high moral stand­ards and integrity are held before cadets as the Aggie way of life.

See editorial on Page 2.

Some changes have been made in the “Articles,” and the overall effect is considered a great im­provement over the previous stand­ards. As in any change some of the new regulations will be ex­tremely unpopular among the ca­dets.

One long-time source of trouble in the Corps has been the incon-

Information Staff Adds Britt Martin

Britt Martin, a 29-year-old news­man with a collection of top writ­ing honors, has joined the A&M University information staff, di­rector Jim Lindsey has announced.

Martin moved here this week from The Dallas Times Herald where he was assistant county edi­tor. He was formerly city editor and columnist for the Bryan Daily Eagle.

Martin has several journalism awards to his credit. He won first place in headline writing in the Associated Press Managing Editors Contest in 1962 and honor­able memtion in 1963 in spot news coverage while with the Eagle.

While at Paris, Martin was a member of a news team which received special national recogni­tion from the Associated Press for coverage of a school bus wreck near Cooper in which a number of students from Mount Vernon died. He won several APME awards for sports news and column writing while with the Paris News. He was chairman of the selection committee for high school baseball coach of the year in 1962, and served on several all-state commit­tees in football, baseball and has-

sistancy among the outfits of various “outfit policies.” Article 9-10, if followed, should go far in limiting this condition. It says, in part, “No cadet commander or any other cadet will publish “pol­icies’ . . . that are in any way in conflict or supplementary to these Articles without prior ap­proval of the Commandant.”

Another change in the “Articles” involves the role of sophomores in the training and disciplining of freshmen. Article 9-11 states that “. . . Third classmen . . . will

not give orders, instruct or dis­cipline privates of the class jun­ior to them, except to cadets of their own respective units . . . and then only when specified by their unit commander and when acting as a squad leader or assistant squad leader.

Another condition which has been emphasized is the enforce­ment of soliciting in the dorms during call to quarters. This prac­tice is expressly prohibited in Article 12.

Changes Noted For Phones

A new alteration has been added to the proposed all-campus tele­phone system that has a timetable for 1966, Dr. Clark C. Munroe, di­rector of the Personnel Office, commented Tuesday.

“It was first proposed that all university dormitory rooms would have a telephone, but the plan now reads that only a part of the university dorms will have tele­phones installed,” Munroe con­tinued.

This plan was resolved to help students who did not desire phones in their rooms and for those who would be unable to pay for the telephone service charge. Present estimate indicate the room tele­phone service will cost between $3 and $3.75 a month, but the exact cost has not yet been determined.

The timetable hinges on the new proposed library which will be built soon. Because the Centrex Telephone System will be installed in the library, the telephone serv­ice will have to follow the course set by library completion.

The Centrex Telephone System is the complex operating device which will handle the campus calls plus all local and out of town connections.

This system was first designed to be installed in the Academic Building, but the cost of re-build-

A Dallas electronics executive will be the spotlighted speaker for the opening luncheon of the 14th annual Texas Industrial Develop­ment conference Thursday at the Ramada Inn.

Robert McCulloch, chairman of the executive committee of Ling- Temco-Vaught Inc., of Dallas, will address an estimated 250-300 in­dustrial developers.

Registration will begin at 8 a.m. Thursday for the conference. A&M University President Earl Rud­der will welcome the group and Arthur A. Smith, vice president and economist of First National of Dallas, will open the conference at 9:20 a.m. with a discussion of past, present and future econo­mic trends.

Other top executives scheduled to speak during the two-day con­ference include Paul R. Thompson, a General Electric Co. official; John B. Turner Jr., Humble Oil and Refining Co.; L. C. AuBuchon,

regional buyer for Sears Roe­buck & Co., Dallas, and Harry W. Clark, executive director of the Texas Industrial Commission, Aus­tin.

ing would exceed the proposed plan estimate. The Academic Building was also picked because the system is designed for the most centrally located spot, but even with the added material to be used in the library system, the cost would still be less than the re-building apd repairing of the Academic Building, Munroe noted.

The Centrex system will be placed in the library basement where no student activity will be held.

Munroe added, “For those who want telephones, they will be avail­able and telephones will be a great help to everybody—students and administration.”

“This is a new trend. Michigan State and Texas have a similar system and more will be going into it in the future,” he added.

sidered “good bull,” but Article 27 states in its entirity “Any degree of drunkeness or disorderly con­duct resulting therefrom is a Cate­gory I offense.” This type of of­fense is punishable by action of the Commandant or higher univer­sity authority. The article on drunkenness makes no mention of time, place or circumstances.

For perhaps the first time in the history of the Corps, all auth­orized unit details are outlined in the “Articles.” This artcile, along with the one concerning outfit policies, should insure uniform operations throughout the Corps, cadets have said.

Also detailed in the “Articles” are all the authorized privileges of each class. Seniors are, by Article 59-6 authorized to wear “Bull Peaks,” a privilege long taken, but never printed.

Most of the other changes have been the removal of certain other traditions and privileges. One of extreme unpopularity according to some upperclassmen is the regula­tion concerning the green shirt and pants for juniors.

The green pants are unauthor­ized and 10 demerits are awarded to any cadet who violates this di­rective. The green shirt is op­tional for first and second class- men. It is, according to Article 59-2a, an optional Class B uni­form. Article 59-6i states, how­ever, that whenever the green shirt is worn, it will be worn with the khaki tie.

“The Standard” is a virtually complete outline of Corps proce­dures, privileges and punishments.

Bryan High School Holds Adult Classes

The fall session of the Adult Education Program at Stephen F. Austin High School has been an­nounced by John Lucas, director of the program.

Registration begins Wednesday at Stephen F. Austin High School and classes start Sept. 28. Classes will meet each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m.

The evening school of the Adult Education Division of the Bryan Public Schools was organized to offer all adults in the surrounding communities the same educational opportunities available to those who attend the Bryan high schools.
