A NEW STUDENT IS HERE During the past couple of years we have seen a new student here. This student has brought with him new ideas, new demands and a new, challeng- ing outlook on education and on life itself. There are those who hold that this new student can best be recognized by his Ruptured Duck emblem in his lapel. Others point to the fact that he is usually three or four years older than his school mates. But the best way to identif) ' this new student at A. and T. or any other college is to forget his age or the little bronze emblem in his coat lapel and watch closely his attitude in class. You will find that his manner is serious, interested and questioning — at times to the poijit of irritation. But his education means much to him. Getting the most out of this op- portunity means more. He regards it all in the sense a soldier looks at a military assignment. Consequently, he offers a ringing challenge to his instructors with questions reflecting his keen recognition of the need for an intelligent understanding of the problem at hand. There ' s no disputing the fact that he looks like any other college stu- dent in his sport jacket and slacks or wearing his arsity letter. He belongs to the same fraternities and clubs, plays on the same athletic teams and takes part in the same activities as other students, but mentally he is dif- ferent; for the past few years have made a great change in him. The peo- ples and cultures he saw in .-Africa, Asia, Europe, India or Japan have broadened his scope to the point where his conception of human possibilities and frailties is immeasurably enlarged. Representative of the hordes of war veterans in schools and colleges all over America are som e 1,500 ex-servicemen and women currently enrolled here. They are changing the campus atmosphere. Indeed, they are part of that great mo -ement which is altering the entire world atmosphere. Al- ready they ha ' e caused many changes and methods to be brought about in the educational world. Interested in world affairs, too, they are loud in their demands for world logic in place of provincial prejudice. Yes, there ' s a new student, a new campus and a new conception of the world.
