Texas Is Lacking
Even if the recommendations of the Tex
as Commission on Higher Education are com
pletely lost in the Legislature, which is high
ly improbable, the commission will have ac
complished some good.
Its report to the governor and the Legis
lature points out some places where Texas is
lacking in its higher education system. Both
the research within the state and the com
parison with otlfer states’ schools, schools
like A&M and the University of Texas, show
ed that Texas needs much improvement.
Some excerpts from the committee’s re
port, in its own words: “The expenditures
of Texas state-supported colleges are well
below those of representative state-support
ed colleges of the first-rank in other states.”
“A major task confronting public higher
education in Texas is to improve the quality
of instruction for an increasing number of
students in all teaching programs, especially
the arts and sciences.”
The committee report also said a new
unit-cost appropriation formula would be
needed, “if Texas is to approximate ‘first-
class’ teaching.”
All of this means that in the. representa
tive committee's opinion, Texas does not
have “first-class” education.
It’s up to Legislature now; they have the
power to decide whether or not Texas is go
ing to invest in its future.

LETTERS
Editors, The Battalion
Dear Sirs:
In the past four years I have
read many letters published in the
Battalion, and in each case it seems
that the author wanted sympathy
for himself or for some other stu
dent whom he felt had been mis
treated. In the course of express
ing themselves the authors have
criticized our school as a whole.
Is that the way that they really
felt ? How does one suddenly for
get everything that A&M stands
for and everything that it means?
Why does an unhappy student tor- j
ture himself by staying here ? Why j
does a person try to adapt a school |
to his selfish desires? These and
other such typical questions run
through my mind when I read
many of the letters to the Bat
talion.
In the summer of ’52 I attended
summer school here and roomed
with a hoy who was here for his,
first time. In dhe second week of
that summer session we held Silver
Taps for a student who had passed
away. My roommate was so im
pressed by this ceremony that he
wrote a seven-page letter to his
parents describing this event. How
often do we stop and realize what
this ceremony means to us who
have been hei - e for more than two
weeks ? What other school would
offer so much assistance to a fel
low. student who had been involved
in an accident, one who was 'cTiti-
caily ill in a hospital, one who suf
fered financial loss due to fire?
A very long list of such examples
as these could be made with very
little effort, if a person just stops
to remember. Is such a school not
worthy of attending ?
Everytime an illegal action takes
place on this campus everyone gets |
hot under the collar and wants to
know why something isn’t done
about it, but as soon as discipli
nary action is taken, certain ones
reverse their opinions. These few
will moan and groan, claiming
that injustice has been rendered.
Then the same group of people
claim that our school is not worth
attending. The most recent criti-
