Today Th* Battalion i* uml«r new
maiUfpMttent.
With m-wIy-appointed Hiifnmer e<l»torii
taking the rems before the sw-mester even
officially end* a new, freenhorn regime
has moV»*d in
The rettrmg ataffmen for the nu*t part
have struck their last keys un Battalion
typewriters They have turned out their
last line* as the main cofa in a wheel that
kept turning day after day, for many
months.
Now we the new staff would like to
editorially add a footnote or two to the
30’s signed yesterday hy the retiring ed
itors These men did much to uphold and
to improve the standards of both The
Battalion and the college
They sought no great rewards Their
old) purpose was to increase their knowl
edge provide themselves with a little en
joyment, and lend their efforts to the
great amount of work It takes to publish
a daily newspaper Any reward or praise
that came their way came unsought
Kaoh of those men always showed us
a high moral sense of right and Wrong
If they saw something they believed
wrong they did not hesitate to say just
that ()n the other hand when they re
alized H«»methmg was praiseworthy they
took advantage of their positions to laud
those efforts
We believe they accomplished some
thing for both themselves and for the |»er
)«etuaUon-of AAM as an educational msti
tution Wh^her or not you agreed with
their editorial views coverage or articles,
they sin Cere !\ wrote what they believed
Ho coercion, no high-pressure salesman
ship.
These men gave practically all of their
leisure hours that you might receive ‘'The
Batt without tail They gave plenty of
gmde-fiomts — '‘expendable they called
them They were still working many
times when most of us had ts'en long
asleep
In the process of serving as editors for
this year, they reaped many headaches,
accomfianled intermittently by fleeting
moments of glory At times they had bat
tle rovals on their hands with you the
nNiders, although you were much more
their consttlt pride than sorrow These
battles were made to appear infinitesimal
by o|*>rational problems that only news
men understand
Much of their time for the past year
Whs s|>ent in grooming us for the |s»sitions
we now hold They patiently and effic
iently took Us cube into tow and carried
ns through the ranks, scolding us prais-
ng us never losing sight of the prime
quality of understanding
They were skilled in the handling of
cfe-workers. always a touchy problem and
enlarged a thousand-fold on a college
mrwHpa|>cr Tem(>ering criticism with a
Wonderful sense of humor they had one
Word for handling staffmen tact This
they employed liberally and it produced
tangible results
Re* it ouf fortune to receive a degree
from this institution we would ask onl\
one more fg\or from the Alnughtv that
our future dhiployers be as understanding
and as worthy as all of our retiring odi
tors
The Man ^ho Is Te xas AXM ( nllrge . . .

tomorrow evening the staff of the college
and its students present and former will
gather to pav tribute to this man who lias

We on the staff of The Battalion w ould

Herr is official notice to you men that Low is really
blue. Now just why is Lou so blue ’ Well men, it s
bocaujie you won’t gm him ft chance to actually help
to work your way through college. It’s impossible
for Liu to pay each st udent s foes fot him S<*< ms the
turkey business isn’t that good but he’s going to do
the next best thing by seeing that you get, your
money's worth out of this store. You may have no
ticed that L»u calls his place the Loupof’s Trading
Post. Men that means just what it says. You can
trade books you don’t need for books yon do need at
Lni's. If you don't want books he'll trade for what
you do need and give you a square deal.
