Editors Confused ByLocal Baptists By KENNETH BOND How confused can a newspaper staff get? After three experiences with the local and state Baptists in this area, we are no longer sure. 1 „ It all began about two months ago. Prentiss Chunn brought a news story and a picture of a new Baptist building which was to be built at the North Gate. The next day Rev erend R. L. Brown, pastor of the local Baptist Church, brought a news story and a picture of a new Baptist building which would be built at the North Gate. Unsuspectingly we looked at the two pictures.and decided that they were different shots of the same building. -Both of the news stories referred to a Baptist building which would be built one block north of the Gate. A reporter combined the two stories, and the story was printed with one of the two pictures. We didn’t have long to wait; local Baptists besieged The Battalion office. Reverend Brown assured us that the College Station Church was constructing an Education. Building on the east side of the street. Mr. Chunn equally convinced us that the Texas Baptist Association was building a Baptist Student Center on the west side of the street. Our faces were red; anyone should know that more than one group of Baptists was building in College Station. „ ; The Battalion and the Baptists did not come in contact again until last Monday. Monday’s paper carried a story describing the Baptist Education Building to perfection. It discussed the awarding of the contract to R. B. Butler of Bryan to build; jt gave the exact sum to be spent and all other pertinent information. The only trouble was the build ing was referred to as belonging to the College Station Meth odist Church*. j . We were frustrated by this time. Just as we began to lash ourselves about the head and shoulders, Reverend Brown and the publicity chairman for the other Baptists came into the office. Reverend Brpwn had a news story about the Education Building, and thej publicity chairman had a news story about the Student Center. To clinch his point Mr. Brown asked that an advertisement be put in The Bait showing the present and future facilities of the College Station Baptist Church. It's now clear in our minds. Mr. Chunn and the State Baptists are building a Baptist Student Center on the west side of the "street; Reverend Brown and the College Station Baptist, Church are erecting an Education Building next to the church. ]. i We are glad to see the enlarged-building programs, and we hope that their building programs continue.*^ We do wish however, that they would erect all future buildings at stag gered times. j j : ; \ We have been too confused to go through all this again. r.

Joint Texoma Pact Draws Step Nearer OKLAHOMA CITY, May 4 —CP) A joint compact between Oklahoma and Texas for Lake Texoma fish ing permits was a step closer to day. Gov. Roy J. Turner signed a joint resolution authorizing Okla homa’s participation yesterday. The compact provides for a $5 seasonal license for the entire lake which lies along the border of the states. A ten-day permit would cost $L25. Licences noiw must be obtained for each side of the lake. About 70 per cent of it lies in Oklahoma, arid that state would get 70 per cent of revenue from the joint per mits. • ; % Game and Fish; Commissions of the two states are expected to con fer soon to/complete the pact. / Official Notice AORK ILTI ML STl'DKNTS .X ess is entitled exclusively to the use fop republication of all news dispatches otherwise credited in the paper and local news of spontaneous origin publish- f ; republication of all other mutter herein ere also reserved. matter st Post U T«*M. undM l^ireb I.
