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.

Joint Texoma Pact
Draws Step Nearer
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 4 —CP)
A joint compact between Oklahoma
and Texas for Lake Texoma fish

day.
Gov. Roy J. Turner signed a
joint resolution authorizing Okla

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. • ; %

the two states are expected to con
fer soon to/complete the pact.
