By The Associated Press Texas Republicans, spurred to a
0 skyhigh enthusiasm by party favorites including1 a member of
national ticket, turned their state convention Tuesday into a folly to kick off campaigning for Hie November elections.
“Sen. Barry Goldwater and I in the weeks ahead will wage the most vigorous campaign we know '10w ” vice presidential nominee

We are convinced this election isn’t going to be decided by

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.
Miller’s 40-minute speech almost overshadowed the convention’s primary task; writing a platform for gubernatorial nominee Jack Crichton of Dallas
★ ★ ★Texas Democrats sped through
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-

The campaign leader, Hunter McLean, said he anticipates the President will speak also in Houston and San Antonio “and possibly other cities” during a political visit to his native state.

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.
