BU Coach Seeks
“Athlete Check
Baylor football coach John
Bridgers has asked the faculty to
help his athletic department keep
a better record of athletes’ per
formances in class.
“I don’t think the athletes
should be given anything,” the
coach told a faculty meeting.
“We want them to come out as
men with an honest education and
be the kind of men Baylor will
be proud of.”
Bridgers listed these two rea
sons for wanting a closer check
of athletic prowess:
1. To make sure athletes who
make grades lower than C attend
Study hall.
2. To find out how athletes are
doing in grades and attendance
before the end of a semester.

Texans Want
New Diplomas
Students at the University of
Texas are circulating petitions
calling for sheepskin rather than
paper diplomas. The university
presently awards only paper di
plomas.
Backers of the proposal have
been quoted as saying:
“We feel the university should
give graduates quality diplomas.
A good-looking diploma would be
a good advertisement for UT.
Rice To Probe
Future Goals
A faculty committee at Rice
has initiated an investigation into
the long-range goals of the uni-
Besides paper diplomas could easi
ly be destroyed or misplaced.”
Petitioners also believe stu
dents would be willing to pay
for the more expensive diplomas.
Editor,
The Battalion:
Here at A&M we have a Code
of Honor, the basis of which is
the statement, “an Aggies does
not lie, cheat or steal.” At the
same time there exists on this
campus a substantial segment
of the student body whose pres
ence makes a farce of the honor.
We are speaking of freshmen
and sophomores who are in good
health and have avoided military
training requirements simply by
lying about their health. Most of
these men will cheerfully admit
that they are physically qualified
and that they simply lied to a-
void a situation they thought dis
tasteful.
The administration encouraged
the formulation of the honor code,
but now it condones the presence
of this part of the student body.
Can they expect an honor code
to command respect when this
situation is excused?

versity. The committee appoint
ed by school President Kenneth S.
Pitzer shortly before Christmas,
will study, analyze and make re
commendations in virtually every
field of student life.
The committee chairman said
that the committee’s function
would be “ to develop long-range
plans for the university — plans
which will largely represent the
faculty’s views as to what the
university’s goals and procedures
should be.”'
Subcommittees have been esta
blished in various areas for the
study.

Texas Tech’s Interfraternity
Council has voted to restrict its
meetings to members and persons
it “deems necessary.” The move
was aimed at The Daily Torea
dor, Tech’s student newspaper,
for what the council called “sen
sational” reporting of meeting
proceedings.
IFC’s committee members ask
ed for coverage by a reporter not
associated with any fraternity in
order to assure unbiased report
ing-. The committee also asked
for guarantees, that any facts IFC
feels need to be delayed will be
honored by the newspaper.

negotiations, offered to send only

The Amorality of Science
Watch out for that word
“amoral.” It does not mean “im
moral.” That tricky little “a”
in front of the word “moral”
means “not.” Amorality simply
means that there is no concern
with moral standards.
When we say that science is
amoral, we mean that in itself
science is not g-ood, nor is it
evil. The uses to which men put
scientific findings will determine
their goodness or badness.
The hand gun might be used as
an example. Over the course of
centuries man discovered explos
ives, invented cannons to fire
shells, reduced the theory to a
practical single-shot pistol and

For Who’s Who
refined the invention into a effi
cient revolver. The revolver in
itself is neither good nor evil.
Strapped on the hip of a police
man or a hunter, the gun can be
put to good use. It can be used
to deter crime, to apprehend crim
inals, ward off wild animals or
to provide food. It can provide
recreation on a target range.
The revolver can also be used
for evil purposes —- to threaten
innocent people of to take their
lives unjustly in murderous at
tacks.
Science provides the gun —
man determines its use or abuse.
Hence, science is amoral while
the man’s action will be moral or
immoral, depending upon his use
or misuse of the instrument with
which science provides him.
In this, the golden age of sci
entific achievement, scientists are
capable of coming up with dis
coveries that can eliminate polio
or people with equal ease. They
are becoming increasingly aware
of their moral responsibilities to
mankind. With such tremend
ous power within their grasp they
can direct their research to a
better, happier and safer world
— reduce humanity to dust.
Science itself is amoral. Liv
ing, breathing, reasoning man is
the detennining factor. Science,
uncontrolled by morality, can be
come the scourage rather than the
servant of mankind.
