Editors, The Battalion:
I wish to tender iriy resignatjon
from my present position on The
Battalion, which is that of Ex
change Editor. There is a certain
group on the campus which wishes
“to advise and grade” this paper in
its printing of the. news. I per
sonally cannot accept the views of
the Student Life Committee. If a
newspaper is to be of service to
its readers, I believe that it must
be free from censorship, and that is
what this group proposes to do.
To publish an accurate account
of the news is the job of every
newspaper and newspapers in. The
paper an dthe man can not perform
its or his job if others, outside of
his profession, tell him what to
print, and how to print. When
any society does this, the paper
becomes the organ of the govern
ment, which gives only its side of
the news, a publication that does
not give two sides of the question,
in other words, it is a parrot re
peating the same phrases over and
over again.
I, therefore, feel that this com
mittee has no right to censor this
publication. Since they propose to
do so,, I must resign.
Sincerely
S. Gardner Collins ’53
Ex-Exchange Editor
Editors, The Battalion
Attention: The Student Body
of Texas A&M
Since this may well be the last
publication of The Battalion that
Mull publish material controversial
to its policy, I would like to ask a
few questions of the student body.
I am sure that everyone will take
an interest in the fate of The Bat
talion, and try to determine vdiy
it has been made responsible to a
committee.
I am sure that it won’t be diffi
cult to find plenty of argument re
lated to both, sides of the case. But
noM r that you know the arguments
of both sides, do you want the pa
per to be liable for M'hat it prints?
Do you know what that may mean ?
It may be said that the action
taken last night was the opinion of
the majority of the students, and
that the majority should rule. You
are right, the majority should rule,
but vms last night’s action a ma
jority vote of the students?
Do you as an individual student
here at A&M want to read a news
paper, and wonder at the same
time if what you are reading is
the complete story, or rather is it
only part of the story, with that
Mdiich was considered as “Undesir
able and Degrading” being left
out? Suppose those who con
trolled the paper wish to pass a
measure that they think the ma
jority of the student body may
not support? Do you suppose that
you M r ould ever hear about it?
Stop and think about that the
next time you vote in a student
election. Are you going to vote
for someone who will try to de-
sti’oy your means of learning what
is going on in your school?
Stop and Think.

It’s been proved
time and again! When
“party line neighbors”
aren’t getting along,
if just one or two
try to be extra friendly,
all the unpleasantness
usually disappears. Yes,
indeed! Friendliness is “catching”
*—makes everybody feel better.
And it’s so easy! Just fair-sharing
the service—always giving ‘‘right-of-way|
for emergency calls—spacing calls
when you have several to make—•
cutting phone visits short when
someone else needs the line.
