Bulletin Board Blues...
t ONLY 1HNM MMTbMKIO UNBt DOWNI
The l»ck of Mtlsfoctory bulleUn lx*rd
coveragt* over the campui is fUringly
brought to mind as one passes the hodga-
pwige of notices and. advertisements cram
ming the bulletin cases in the Academic
BtiHdinf.
Students looking for anything from used
baby carriages to lost slide rules, or perhaps
seeking a fellow Aggie to share automobile
expenses on a corps trip, make use of this
totally inadequate facility.
Often as not, however, advertisements,
and notices go unobserved in the helterskel-
ter conglomeration of communiques littering
the cases. - .;
Some of the notices are legible, some few
even are cleverly designed to attract reader
attention, but the vast majority of the bulle
tins are scrawled on ragged pieces of paper
and crammed Into a prominent position,
without regard for any previously posted
matter. After all, who knowj^what was pelt
ed when?
Obviously, this condition is In no way
satisfactory. Aside from achieving poor re
sults, the location and appearance of the
board leave much to be desired. •
To remedy this situation, The Battalion
Letters
suggests that the newly inaugurated Stu
dent Senate establish a bulletin board com
mittee to arrange the construction of a new
and adequate, centrally located, glassed in
bulletin case.
This committee could also organize a
supervisory syatem to promote an orderly
posting of notices. Rules limiting the size
and type of bulletin, and the maximum time
a notice may remain on the board should be
made and endorsed.
Special sections separating “Wanted”,
“For Sale”, and “Lost and Found” notices
could be set up thus eliminating much of the
present confusion. A desk could be set up
adjacent to the bulletin board case and man
ned every period of the day by students who
would approve notices and post them on the
board. This program could operate in con
junction with the college lost and found de-
p irtment and |erve a much needed purpose.
The southvfest comer of the Academic
Huilding, if properly lighted, would be an
ideal loeation as it is located out of the main
stream of student traffic and in the most
used building on the campus.
Like the idea? Well, tell your Student
Senator about it!

Free Speech in Danger?...
Campaigns against un-American activity
often emphasize the anti-Communist phase,
ignore the need for anti-Fascist investiga
tions. President Truman's committee on
civil liberties does not fall into this error.
The report of the committee, (previously dis
cussed m this editorial column in regard to'
rgciul segregation and related problems)
points Out differences between the two total
itarian creeds and condemns both.
Rut the committee said “it is natural ami
proper for good citizens to worry about the
•fetlvitluu of these groups.” it added:
•'Communists and Fascist* may assert dif
ferent objectives. This does not obscure the
identity of the means which both are will
ing to use to further themselves,
“Both often use the words and symbols
of Democracy to mask their totalitarian tac
tics. Rut their concern for civil rights is al
ways limited to themselves. r

Although tuberculosis ia no longer the
scoiirge it was years ago (thanks to the work
of the varioua anti-tuberculosis societies) it
id still a killer and cnppler of great impor-
thnee. Early diagnosis is the secret of suc

will be taken of the case-finding, survey,
which is planned to catch incipient tubercu
losis in unsuspecting victims.

inaugural address: Tf there be any among

change its Republican form, let them stand
undisturbed as monuments of the safety with

“The aecond ia the doctrine of 'clear and
