f Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1954 Grave Errors Come to Light In Meeting on Publications Some grave errors came to light yester day in the meeting of the committee to study the need of a publications board. Any committee charged with the highly responsible job such as this group is should be as unbiased as possible when entering the task of deciding. The voting members should look at things with a very open-mind ed attitude—similar to a jury in court. The publications board had been discussed for only about an hour and a half when one of the members made a motion to form the standing committee and another member seconded it. A ruling which would apply for years to come, if and when it is made, was ready to be put to a vote after one brief hour and a half of discussion. The man who made the motion so quickly in favor of forming a committee happens to be the same man who wrote a Letter to the Editor in yesterday’s Battalion in which he said: “it has never hurt me to have someone in a supervisory position over me as long as I was doing right. Evidently our present ed itors could stand a little supervisory power to help them along in their infantile exagger ations and stretching of the truth while they are tearing down A&M by their operation of The Battalion.” Three members of the committee promt- ly said the subject needed more* discussion. If these members hadn’t been thinking, a very rash decision could have been reached on the spur of the moment. Near the end of the meeting, it was learned that the other man who had wanted to put the question to a vote so quickly had only learned he was a member of the com mittee the night before when he read about it in The Battalion. He later admitted he too needed more time for consideration. But probably the most conspicuous error of all could be detected by merely glancing around the room. There was not a repre sentative there from The Aggieland, T h e Commentator, The Engineer, The Agricul turist or The Southwest Veterinarian. And this proposed board would exercise jurisdiction over student publications, of which these others are as much a part as The Battalion. Why should only The Battalion be rep resented directly by its editors at the meet ing? The editors of the other publications have as much to say about a committee su pervising publications as we do. Publications (Continued from Page 1) derson agreed. Finally Phillips withdrew his motion. Field said that he had only leai’ned he was on the gi’oup Tuesday when he read about it in The Battalion. He said he needed more time for con sideration. Cross Section Montgomery said he favored the yell leader committee because it would provide a cross section of opinion about action in which the yell leaders were in doubt. He thought that the cominittee would not censor the yell leaders any more than they already are. Yell leaders already have a com mittee. But it is not a committee from Student Life which is sup pose to supervise the yell leaders. If Student Life passes the yell leader recommndation, another committee will be formed. It will contain members from Student Life with the possibility of some ex-officio members. Cadet Sloucli hy Earle r AT NOME. AT t'jCMOO*- SAY YOU BE SUSY TOMlYE ?
