The freshmafi bar|d will make its
first public appearance when it
marches with the upper-classmen
band at the University of Houston
game here Sept. 26.
The band has 120 members this
year, about the same as last year.
“The instrumentation should be
better balanced than the last
year’s band, but nothing can be
said yet about its abilities,” said
Col. E. V. Adams, band director.

Trees In City’s Streets
Cause Automobile Hazard
College Station can truly be called a city of
shaded streets, but in some cases this has
been carried to extremes.
Trees are fine in their place, but is the
place for them in the middle of the street ?
It takes a good many years for trees to
grow as large as some that are now in the
city, particularly those on Dexter and Lee
streets. However, age should not stand in the
way of making College Station an even safer
community.
Facts Will Stop
Rumors Doing Harm
Rumors are always dangerous. If favor
able, they can lead to disappointment. If
harmful, they can destroy the reputation of
an individual or institution.
Whether true or false, rumors are always
distorted by the time the facts are learned. If
facts are suppressed too long, the lies gain
strength and live even after the truth is told.
The only way to destroy a rumor is to tell
the facts. Even if an unfavorable rumor is
true, the facts should be known at once by
everyone to keep it from doing any further
harm.
In the past year there was only one auto
mobile fatality in the city limits, and this
was not because of the tree hazard. But does
this mean no one will be killed traveling the
Dexter St. obstacle course ?
Perhaps there could be more protection for
traffic. The trees were left untended for
some time and then small reflectors were
nailed on to warn motorists. Some residents
even took it upon themselves to trim low
branches.
Many of the residents of these two streets
were consulted on this problem, and their
opinions varied. Most recalled minor ac
cidents caused by the trees.
However, one woman called the trees the
“saving grace of her street”. She said it
caused traffic to slow down.
Another woman said in a day of speedy
cars the trees are a menace. Most of the
homeowners felt the trees should go.
Ran Boswell, city manager, said no action
had ever been brought before the city council
to remove the hazards. It they are to be re
moved, the proposal must be taken to the
council by the people, he said.
Now, how do you—as a citizen of College
Station — feel about the problem ? Do you
think the trees should stay, or should they
be taken down? The Battalion would like to
know what you think about it.
