THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1954
Battalion Policy Unchanged
Published in The Battalion below is
a statement representative of the views
of the present appointees to the newly cre
ated and still incomplete Student Publica
tions Board. Particularly pleasing is the
statement that the SPB subscribes to Presi
dent David H. Morgan’s statement that The
Battalion and the other student publications
“have freedom of the press, accompanied by
the responsibilities that such freedom en
tails.”
The Battalion editors plan to continue the
policy of being guided by the truth, with all
sides of each news story presented - as ac
curately and as fairly as possible. All the
news the editors consider fit to print will be
printed, without yielding to any “pressure
groups” or without representing them.
Editorials will be the opinions of the
student editors and may or may not concur
with the opinions of the student body, the
administration or any other group. Those
who agree or disagree with Battalion news
items or editorials are invited to express
their views in the Letters to the Editor
column.
Board of Directors
Names Employees
Publications
(Continued from Page 1)
The present board is the result
of five months work, starting last
March when The BattaKon staff
resigned.
The committee they resigned in
protest of was not put into effect,
and a committee of the Academic
council was assigned to study the
entire student publications organ
ization.
This committee’s report was ac
cepted by the Academic council,
and is essentially the same as the
present board organization.
Student publications is no longer
a part of the student activities or
ganization, and this board will
serve as the “publisher” of The
Battalion, according to Elmquist.
Stark Speaker
For State Board
The State Board of Federated
A&M Mothers clubs heard Wayne
Stark, director of the MSC, speak
on “Projects for the Coming
Year” Saturday morning at the
MSC.
Mrs. J. F. Van Wert of Mar
shall, state president of the club,
and Mrs. David H. Morgan of
College Station, honorary presi
dent, gave welcomes.
Several projects for the year
were adopted and are to be taken
up by each club individually.
Mrs. Ide P. Trotter, Brazos coun
ty club president, was also present.
SPB Statement
The following statement is made with the objective of
providing a basis for effective cooperation between the edi
tors of Student Publications, th\ Office of Student Publica
tions, and the Student Publications Board. The statement is
representative of the present appointees to the Student Pub
lications Board.
The objectives of the student publications of Texas
A&M College include education and practical experience for
the students who participate, furnishing of journalistic and
literary media to serve the college and its community, and
adding to the prestige of the college and its schools.
The present appointees to the Student Publications
Board subscribe to President David H. Morgan’s statement:
“The Battalion and the other student publications have free
dom of the press, accompanied by the responsibilities that
such freedom entails. The editorial policy of each student
publication is determined by the student editors. The stu
dent editors are not expected to express officially the policies
and attitudes of the College administration. The editors are
nevertheless expected to be aware of the special character
given to the newspaper and the other publications by their
association with the College, and to have what they see as
the long-run best interest of the College at heart. The stu
dent editors have the right to disagree with and be construc
tively critical of the administration of the College, but they
are expected to tell all sides of each news story as accurately
and completely as possible. As a concomitant to its having
freedom of the press as enjoyed by other free newspapers,
the Battalion occupies the same position relative to the Col
lege as do such newspapers, without special privilege.”
The editors of student publications are expected to be
guided by the accepted ethics of their profession, as outlined
for example by the Code of Newspaper Ethics of the Ameri
can Society of Newspaper Editors. This involves responsi
bility, freedom of the press, independence, sincerity, truth
fulness, accuracy, impartiality, fair play, and decency. It is
expected that the editors will be accurate, complete, and ob
jective, and avoid slanting and editorializing in news stories.

leader vacancy will be held from
