Battalion Editorials THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1955 News JAMES G. POTTER, head of the physics department, was elected chairman of a new Texas section of the American Association of Phy sics Teachers at a recent meeting of the Texas Academy of Science at San Antonio. * * * See where some kid got kicked out for being a TT. All he did was wear the organization’s pin, have his picture made wearing the pin, put a TT emblem on his car, and go to what looked suspiciously like parties and meetings with other students who had once been sus pended for being TT’s. This kid—McDade—knew that he was back in A&M on a slim thread, but he seems to have thought more highly of the True Tools than of A&M. Now he has his wish. He can be a TT into the hereafter, and does n’t have to put up with being an A&M stu dent. McDade, like all the rest of the student TT members, was an immature boy. The lure of a secret society appealed to him, and ob viously meant more to him than an educa tion. The senseless bravado of wearing the pin within shouting distance of the campus is somewhat indicative of the group’s atti tude. He will probably claim that he got a “raw deal,” and that he was persecuted. Ridiculous. He knew what he was doing, what the. chances were, and what the prob able outcome would be. He just wanted to show off. Although the military panel flatly denies any such thing, chances are that the TT group is not as inactive as the college thinks it is. They’ve been seen together, have drunk beer together, and on at least one reliably- reported instance had a member of their last year’s group who is now at another school over here for a party with them. It’s quite possible that some of their elders are in there too. They stick together, those boys. May have even recruited some new members. All of this boils down to one thing—A&M is not rid of the TT’s, and isn’t going to be until a lot more is made public than has been in the past. j And how did those guys get back in school anyway?

THURSDAY & FRIDAY •t; NEW BUILDING—The architects drawing of the new Southwestern States Telephone company building is shown above. The building will contain 4,560 feet of floor space, and will be equipped with the most modern up-to-date facilities. New Phone Building To Be Built Soon ANN BLY1H-EDMUND PURDIl AND THE SINGING VOICE OF MARIO LANZA Work is scheduled to begin sometime in April on the proposed Southwestern States telephone company’s new building, according to G. M. Brennan, division manag er. The building, which will contain 4,560 feet of floor space, will be located across from the Catholic student center. It will house the complete facilities of the compa ny, including the business office, which has been in a separate build ing. The telephone coiupany plans to go on the inter-toll system some time in the latter part of the year. This system will enable persons in this area to make long distance calls in a shorter time. The operator simply dials the number called for and the person at that number answers the phone. It does not go through any other operator. A call can be placed while the operator is taking the phone num ber and filling out a ticket. Telephone numbers in this area will be changed. When a number is assigned, it will remain the same until the phone is disconnected, or the person moves away. The telephone company mow op erates on the terminal per station line. This is where the number changes every time a person moves from one part of town to another. The new building and dialing system will not affect the telephone rates, said Brennan. The number of telephones in the College Station area fluctuates, Brennan said. Last year, a net gain of 467 new phones were added. The new building will contain the most modem and up-to-date equipment, he said. Delivery of the equipment will start about Aug. 1, with a little «at a time being sent. Installation has to be done piece-meal. Contract for the construction has not been let.

Supporting an Allied blockade as a last-ditch maneuver were Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ). ★ ★ ★ UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—One of Dag Hammarskjold’s top aides said yesterday the U.N. secretary general has made progress toward freeing 11 American airman imprisoned as spies in Red China.
