Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1954 High School Day Won’t Tell Of Degraded Discipline About 1,000 high school seniors are ex pected here March 27 to hear why they Student’s Work Creates Friends Many friends were made for A&M this past week through the efforts of a few stu dents who made it a point to do a good job with the Junior College Press conference. Wayne Dean, a senior from Brownwood, was chairman of the conference, and planned with other members of the Journalism club for the week-end events. A number of favorable comments were directed at A&M and the Journalism club as a result of the diligent planning and execu tion of the conference. It is a strong indication of the visitor’s admiration for the school when they voted near the end of the conference to form the first Junior College Press Association in Tex as and that next year’s meeting would again be held at A&M. Through the efforts of students such as Dean, A&M can hope to overcome the trying difficulties which face the college today. The visitors at the conference gave Dean a standing round of applause. He deserves another from his fellow students here at A&M. should spend their college career at A&M. They will tour the campus and hear speeches praising the school. They will even see a 30 minute movie showing the advan tages of enrolling here next semester. Chances are though, that they will not be shown the other side of the picture. They will not learn that discipline is sometimes al tered here to the extent that respect for law and justice is degraded. These youths won’t be told that students can steal goods totaling about $2,500 and escape with mere suspension rather than dis missal when another student can be given the same punishment for a lesser offense. They will not learn that a group of stu dents can run off another student who writes opinions they don’t like and not be punished. The movie shown to these prospective freshmen will not tell that rule violations, like the one forbidding underclassmen to lock their doors when they go to sleep, are allowed to exist. No, this side of the picture will not be shown on High School day. However the part they will see is true. It shows the points of which A&M should be proud. But the other side keeps the school from progressing. And it will continue to do so until someone fakes things in hand and cleans up this mess.

Investigations (Continued from Page 1) At the store, the owner made a positive identification and asked the student about the “boot situa tion” to which he replied that he had already bought some new shoes and spent the money. This was the evidence needed to take the findings to the student officers and dormitory counselor. Burt Hardcway* commanding of ficer of company I, was then con fronted by Hilgers, Hulse and Learner about the positive identi fication of the student. A little before noon Thursday, Hilgers, Hulse and Louvier were in Vitrano’s room and discussed the matter thoroughly. The seniors of the dormitory then had a meeting and decided to go to Capt. David B. Cofer jr., dormitory counselor. From here Cofer conferred with Col. Robert L. Melcher, coordinator of counslers of the freshman area. Melcher, Coder and a number of cadet officers of the freshman area questioned the student to find if he was involved in other thefts. This led to the identity of the other students involved.
