/v.. Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1953 Aggies Can Help School If Compliment Is Honored The Fort Worth police chief has paid Aggies a compliment that they should not forget. He has said that A&M students have al ways acted like gentlement during a Foit Worth corps trip. He believes they always will. If the A&M students will live up to the chief’s expectations this weekend, they not only will help the reputation of their school but possibly save themselves and others from physical injury. Fort Worth, like other cities, has its hoodlums who attack people for no other reason than the enjoyment they get from the beatings. Uniforms seem always to at tract this element. Therefore the student body should stay on its guard, not only to protect itself—but to make certain it does nothing to provoke trouble. This can be done if students honor the police chief’s compliment. There is nothing wrong in fighting back if one is wronged. But to start trouble is to endanger a school’s reputation and the lives of persons involved. The hoodlums have already made their reputation. No Aggie should be selfish enough to want to take any of it away from them.

The assistant commandant said a counselor probably could prevent a student from being fined. Stu dents fined by police must get special permission from the 4th army or Air university to receive their commissions.
