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.
