More Support for the Twelfth Man
->!
; The men who pushed and supported
the Campus Chest did a bang-up job. They
planned well, worked hard, and got re
sults. But fJhey missed one bet—they did
n’t ask the College staff to contribute.
The reason for this, we imagine, was
a desire to keep the Campus Chest drive
an all-student affair. However, since such
a drive ultimately benefits the entire col-
lege, we believe the staff should have been
given an opportunity to donate to the
CC treasury. We didn’t think of this angle
ourselves and we probably wouldn’t have
either until the other day when a staff,
member—an Aggie ex, by the way—walk
ed into the office, handed over a goOd-
sized check aind said, “Nobody came to
me for a donation so I thought you might
give this to the collectors.’’
The donator, who asked to remain
anonymous, suggested that other staff
members might want to contribute to the
Campus Chest if given an opportunity.
“We don’t hesitate to tell you when you’re
bn the wrong track,” he said, “and I im-
1 . j ' w.' .
just as anxious to
with you when
■
:a
agine you’ll find we’
get on the band
you’re right.”
-J We like that attitude and support. It’s
the kind you respect, and it’s also good to
know that others besides students can see
a good motive behind the Campus Chest.
Officially, the'collection drive is over.
But an exception %hbtjiid be made because
the anonymous jdonator’s idea strikes us
as being A-l. The Battalion will be glad
to collect any donations to the Campus
Chest from staff members or students. We
feel free to make this offer because we
have the assurance of the Student Sen
ate that donations from the staff are high
ly ^acceptable. j’
If you feel inclined to give, mail yoin
check to the Campus Chest, c/o The ~'
talion. We’ll see that it’s turned in.
Rin /
And to the man, the idea and the ready
pen, thanks a million from usall, includ
ing the boy who will get the Twelfth Man
Scholarship.

Thoughts While Listening to This Weekend’s Debates
I
r\~ i
No doubt many of you sat in on any
t'of the debates tht| past weekend got about
the same feeling we did—that A&M in
general and we in particular haven’t giv
en the emphasis to public, speaking that
\ should be given.
I i There are only two ways of conveying
abstract ideas from one mind to another.
One is by the written word; the other is i
through the spoken word.
1 We may be able to Conceive great ideas
r within our own mind, but until they are
given expression either by the written or
spoken word, these ideas remain locked in
us. And consequently they are of no bene
fit to anyone. «
'1 Accompanying the spoken word are
techniques in manners and expression that
- the capable and effective public speaker
employs. A pointed finger, a whisper
.that risas to a -shout, a facial expression—
these ’are but three of many techniques
.that afe as vital to the effective speaker
ds good form in any athlete is to the mas
tery of his sport. 1
. This form and effect is more “deve
loped” than inborn. Practice and more
practice jand more practice ; can develop
speakers the same as practice and more
practice lean develop better football play-
/ *.ers or trackmen.
! The curricula of most departments on
1 this campus contain but one speech course
Ir—a one hour attempt to give senior stu
dents the rudiments of public speaking
•and a bit of practice. Public speaking gets
one liqk at most of our students. If that
lick hits home, a fair, only fair mind you,
speaker is developed. If the lick doesn’t
connect, the man graduates from A&M
•with a professional degree but without
the ability to express himself before a
group.
Afore courses in speaking, courses that
fi/ ; ' ’ V . j
give students practice, and more insight
into the techniques for effective speech
are needed here.
One way to improve this unhappy con
dition Would be to establish a speech
division in the English department, per
haps with enough sppech courses that a
student could major in speech if he should
/choose. j .j I ■ '%
A speech division could offer more
cbiirees that students who didn’t choose to
major in speech could take as electives.

if ■ ■ j 11
A&M has not attracted Its share of
students who posses innate abilities to
speak; they go somewhere else. Men who
do choose A&M, for their undergraduate
work in pre-law, or pre-ministry, or any
professional field that would require the
development of effedtive speaking abilities
are handicapped later whpn they are
placed in competition with men from others
schools which do emphasize public speak
ing.
These men from A&M must either
exert special efforts after graduation from
A&M to develop their speaking abilities
or they must enter fields where this abil
ity is not demanded.
Dr. Crane, our Religious Emphasis
speaker this year, was an example of a
master at public speaking. To watch him
speak was to observe perfection of deliv
ery.
This “past weekend, we saw debaters
developing their styles of delivery.
“There are many flowers that blossom
on the desert unseen,” a poet once wrote;
there are many ideas that blossom in
minds unexpressed, we may paraphrase.

UNNEEDED CENSORSHIP
Editor, The Battalion:
Last Tuesday, March 7, a pro
gram was presented at Guion Hall
[ for the benefit of the Campus
Chest. One of ^he attractions was
the showing of !‘‘We’ve N ever ® e ^ n
Licked.” We think it could be
called the feature attraction of
the evening. At any rate, that was
why we went.
But the film was censored and
we think that the best parts were
omitted. Specifically, some of those
parts dealing with the main char
acter’s 'life as a freshman were
edited and discarded.
Why wore these portion? cut?
Was is that since certain happen
ings were not concurrent with the
" - *—> to
. of the writer, be divulged to any !
will find a lot of support for
your complaint and you can in
clude us in it. Removal of scenes
depicting practices not now con
doned by the college failed mis
erably in its purpose if that pur
pose was to hasten the day when
such practices will be forgotten.
(If the college didn’t want
these scenes shown on the Guion.
screen the whole movie should
have been shelved rather than ai-
tempt a compromise which
insulted the intelligence
audience. Censorship ol
sort should have no place in our
college or in our country. As you
point out, “history is history and
cutting a few feet out of a film
won’t change It*’)

time—ns H was two

ews, for only by

life can its
members gsin

of our living

at AAM.
This commit
tee has not at-

we know that to
be true. Its job
is to investigate, separate false
hoods from faets, and listen to
testimony from both students

facts and findings to the Board
■' of Directors. It may be asked to
make recommendations for im
proving our student life. OF, it
may be called up to do not more
than it has already done—checkup
and student living conditions.

The purpose of the meeting was
to review the different phases of
the work being carried on by the
participating states, according to
Dr. Rupel. The theme, he stated,
was “breedihg! better cattle for
the South.”
Acording bo Dr. Rupel, the pri
mary objective in their work is
to improve the milk producing
qualities and to improve the abil
ity to withstand heat of our dairy
cattle. In Texas, the work being
carried on is crossing Brahman
females with proved Jersey sires.
The female progency of this
cross will be mated to other
proved Jersey sires and then, de
pending upon results, a breed will
be established.

cision of the Exchange iStore Ad
