. / ^ WEDNESDAY!, [FEBRUARY 22, 1960
This On-the-Campus, Off-the-Campus Ne wspaper j. .
if,
The "official newspaper of the City of
College Station” announced yesterday that
it intends to better serve the community
whose official distinction it
5
; change of policy is involved,
bears. No
rather it is
a more responsible approach to what has
been the standing policy of this newspap
er—to serve both on-the-campus and off-
the-campus readers.
Not only will there be an improved
system of gathering news of the College
Station area, but also there will be carrier
boy circuits in College Station to bring
the paper to the'door steps of every house.
From this improvement everybody stands
to gain.
Residents of College Station gain by
havinpr# newspaper brought to their door
step^ which gives top local coverage of
news ajid sports as well as late national
and international news. This newspaper
gains through ha.ving a larger circulation
(already the largest by far in Brazos
.
M'
County) and contequently, being a more
inviting placd fo* advertisers to spend
their money. '
The savings brought about by mass
producing this newspaper can be passed
onto our readers by lower subscription
rates.
The Battalion has always been a "stu
dent newspaper^” By fthis we mean that
students manage :he policies of the paper
with respect to ne ws, pictures, and editor
ials. Giving broader coverage to the Col
lege Station community than has been
given in the past does not reduce the
amount of campus or student news.
There is enough room in the paper to
give both the campus and the community
thorough coverage.
A newspaper’s responsibility is to the
people who are its readers. The Battalion
covering a greater cross-section of read
ers recognizes this responsibility, and its
staff will seek to give coverage to all.

What’s Cooking
G-men, local and state police officers
are about to join hands to clean* up some
of the illicit gambling that has been go
ing on at ever increasing rates in many
parts of this country, A conference in
Washington last week met to discuss or
ganized crime. ‘ ' i
According to the officials present at
the conference, gambling is the most ser-
fous underworld activity. The conference
spent much of its time deciding on what
federal legislation it wanted so that the
national government may step in along
side local police and help crack down on
interstate crimestors.
;One suggested law was that Incomes
derived from "illegal sources" be taxed
"extremely high". Incomes from gambling
jin many sta^aa are not .considered legally

body seems interested enough one way

A second bit df federal legislation that
the conference thought would be helpful
to state police is a proposal that federal
laws be passed lo prohibit the shipment
of gambling devi Jes into or out of states
which prohibit their use.
The attitude manifested at the confer
ence was encouraiging to laymen in Amer
ica. Local and stfte prejudices concerning
federal assistance in tracking down inter
state crimes wer; not brought to light at
all.
Instead both 1’ederal and state officials

SILVER TAPS
Editor, The Battalion:
The' “Silvertaps” ceremonies for
“Tidy” Roberts on February 14
were both sad and impressive, as
are all such occasions, except for
the numerous lights that remain
ed burning during the ceremony.
This is something that has been
sticking in our craw since the be
ginning of the year. "Silver Tans”
we : believe, is the finest of the
regaining traditions at A&M. It
should be respected by everyone
including the faculty and employ
ees of the college.
There were .numerous lights
burning in the Electrical Engin
eering building and even in the
Academic building. There is no ex
cuse for this. Is anything so im
portant that it cannpt wait five
minutes while a finhl tribute is
paid to a person? If the lights

verse the wording. Outside of
