CS Students Will Attend Celebration Students of Consolidated High School will be allowed to attend A&M’s 75th Anniversary celebra tion tomorrow and quite a large number of them are expected to be on hand when the college swings its doors open to the public, said L. E. Boze, principal. Engineering and science tours will be the most popular choices among local students, the principal predicted, since the courses taught in Agriculture at Consolidated are very limited. The students will be allowed to miss school and still have credit for regular attendance under a recent ruling by the Texas State Board of Education which classi fied the A&M celebration as an “educational event,” Boze added. Stores (Continued from Page 1) his committee have received num erous acceptance of invitations from high school in this area who plan to bring members of their student body to attend the event in school buses. The 75th Anniversary Commit tee has promised a free picnic lunch which will be served on Kyle Field at noon tomorrow to all people at tending the celebration—including A&M students. A number of tours will be con ducted during the afternoon for visitors according to their various interests. The tours have been named according to colors and places where they will take visitors differ as to their preference. Chamber of Commerce President Burgess said yesterday that “splen did response has cpme in from people in nearby towns. A large number of schools will be repre sented at the gathering,” he said. Batt Editors Give Wool Club Kiwanis Program , Journalism students and other members of The Battalion staff were guests of the Kiwanis Club "at its noon meeting today. The group presented a program in ob servance of National Newspaper week which begins next Sunday. With Battalion co-editors Dave Coslett and Clayton Selph as lead ers, the program begin with a short explanation from editor Coslett about Newspaper Week, its pur pose, symbol, and slogan. Through the use of a tape re corder, various phases in the his tory of newspapers in the United States were presented. Stories Concerning the first paper to be printed in America — the Boston Public Occurances—dated as far back as 1690 were told. Freedom of Press The program pointed out that when the constitution was drawn up, the people of our new country were reluctant to ratify the docu ment without some provision as suring freedom of speech and of the press, as well as the other pro visions of the Bill of Rights. Thomas Jefferson was quoted as saying, “The people are the only censors of their governors; and ev en their errors will tend to keep these to the true principles of their institution.” In illustrating the press’ fight for editorial freedom to criticize our government, a few lines from a speech made at the libel trial of Peter Zenger back in the pre-re olution days were quoted. Zenger had dared to satirize the tyranical government in power. The program pointed out that as journalism of the eighteenth and nineteenth century progressed, publishers were more prone to pub- Twins Born to ’46 Aggie Sweetheart Former Aggie Sweetheart from TSCW, Mrs. Vicki Moran Van Liew Jr., of Montclair, New Jer sey, has announced the birth of a twin boy and girl, John Moran, and. Christina. Mrs. Van Liew graduated from TSCW in 1946. She was Aggie Sweetheart during her junior year, she was also Red Bud Princess and Cotton Ball Duchess. Her mother, Mrs. Abby Moran, attended TSCW from 1948 until 1950, majoring in English. At pre sent Mrs. Moran is residing in Fort Worth, but she plans to fin ish her senior work at TSCW. lish their opinion regarding the events of that time, rather than re serving these thoughts and ideas for the editorial page. A Scotchman by the name of James Gordon Bennett introduced the idea of presenting the news in an unbiased way on his front page and his own opinions on the editor ial page. This idea soon spread throughout the world, according to the program. After the discussion of the orig in of newspapers as they are today, Selph took over and showed the many community services which are performed throughout our na tion every day by newspapers. Selph pointed out the campaign waged by the Kansas City Star for city parks in that city which lasted over fifteen years. The newspaper won the fight and thus established a basis of community service which newspapers have fostered for many years. In conclusion, various activi ties toward community service in the nearby area were illustrated on the program. Organized Seven new clubs have been organized at A&M Consoli dated Elementary School, ac cording to Mrs. Rowena Cres- well, principal. In order that the children might have a varied program, new clubs will be organized at the end of each semester’ Mrs. Creswell said.
