Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1955 A New This year has seen g-rpw on the A&M campus a new interest in the world around us. A&M students have been participating more and more in activities that bring them in contact with current foreign relations, and with the lives of the people of other coun tries. Many things have shown this—the ac tivities of the United Nations club and the YMCA in foreign student work, the partici pation of students in the MSC’s debate and forum groups, the establishment of the Great Issues series, and the night debate classes for students who could not work them into their daytime schedules. Another recognition of this interest is The Battalion’s News of the World, a daily feature designed to let the students know what is going on around them. We suspect that this is one of the Batt’s best read features. World Latest in this movement is the birth of an idea for establishing an Institute of For eign Relations here, similar to the West Point students’ discussion group on foreign affairs attended by A&M students for the first time this year. Many attempts have been made to “name” this generation another lost gen eration, the silent generation, the confused generation. We are not going to try to “name” it, because'we believe a generaliza tion won’t fit. But a point to be considered in “under standing” this generation is that it is grow ing up in a world that is new even to the adults in it. It is perhaps the first genera tion to grow up under the possibility of the realization of one-worldism, and they know it. A generation that realizes it is not alone and tries to develop a knowledge of the world we live in cannot go far wrong. Letters to the Editors Editors, The Battalion Dear Sirs: Texas A&M has developed a rep utation for being - a good school to stay out of. This reputation has spread among its students and the people of the state of Texas. As a student in the school, I can see many reasons for this. Foremost among these reasons is the fact that it is almost impossible for a student to defend himself against any charge made against him. Nor can he make any effective appeal from the decision of the first “court” that tries him; if he is not punished for the first charge, he will be given identical punish ment for another. And even after his “trial” is over, after his wit nesses have been refused permis sion to tell what happened and his “prosecutors,” who are also his “jury,” have been allowed any means to prove his “guilt,” after his “trial” is over and he thinks the case is closed, his punishment may be mack; worse at any time. There is a small group of stue dents who must share the blame for this. These students hold high positions in the student body and can replace themselves with others like them when they leave. But they could never succeed without the active support of men in high positions—men who are supposed to help the students with their problems, but who want nothing more than an opportunity to make those around them miserable. The Battalion must take its share of the responsibility when it prints such biased and juvenile things as have appeared recently. The re porting has been biased against the T.T.’s. Many statements made as facts were rumors printed without any indication of accuracy. The “editorial” was already accurately described in the letter published today. I will say only that any one who knew Tom McDade can see how inaccurate calling such a man an “immature boy” really is. While it is proper to print opinions in editorials, the opin ions should have some basis. All those who are responsible for these conditions at A&M should be removed from positions where they can hurt the College. Until this is done, any attempt to im prove the school will be fruitless.
