A Guest Editorial
Aggie Armistice Attempt
Over a period of the few past years, student relations be-
tween A & M and Rice have been degenerated to a deplorable
level. ii
Many are the excuses and reasons that have been made for
this condition, but the most important cause, and the one least
mentioned, is the apathetic and indifferent attitude exhibited
by the majority of the student bodies of both schools toward
improving inter-school relations.
Tiie hitfh-schoolish attitude of, "We'll-beat-'em-in-the-
streuts, if-wocan't-beat-'em-on-the-football-field," has seeming-
ly been fostered by a few students of both schools.
The time has come for students who firmly believe in good
.sportsmanship to express esemselves, to overrule the hoodlumis-
tic minority, and to work to put the annual Rice-A & M foot-
ball game on a basis of friendly rivalry once more.
Student leaders at A & M have been planning and working AGGIE DELEGATION —

After some discussion of the var-

Plyer, representing the Rally club,
said that he felt most of A & M was
involved, not just a small minority,
the Aggies outlined their plan. They
felt that since there is a corps trip

Other ideas were discussed' to im-
prove the student relations, among
them the possibility of exchanging
cheerleaders at the pep-rallies pre-
ceding the game. However, no de-
cision was made pending the agree-
ment of the Aggie yell leaders, who
were not present.
Mr. Cameron said that he felt that
activities could be definitely chan-
neled to a more constructive side,
while Bill Davis promised, "We will
do everything we can to spread feel-
ing to make A & M students wel-
come on the campus any time of the
