N< 8^' 8( 7( *•7 j Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1955 Direction Indicated One of the big - problems facing education today is the question of integration—grad ually putting Negroes and whites into the same schools. After the Supreme Court’s ruling of last year, the people of America, especially those of the South, have had to face this problem as an actuality, not as an academic question. Some of our sovereign and benighted states have mounted their white horses and ridden off in all directions, principally toward the past. Texas, while not taking any concrete ac tion as a state, has at least developed a wait- and-see attitude that is better than horse mounting. But the young people of the Texas col leges have shown that not only are they not hostile to -the idea of integration, they favor the proposal. The Texas Intercollegiate Student asso ciation, composed of representatives from about 30 Texas colleges, including A&M, last year formulated a resolution advocating inte gration, and A&M’s Student Senate last week indicated its line of thinking. The senate approached the question rath er obliquely—an item came up on the agenda on whether or not there should be a special section set aside for Negroes in White col iseum for shows like Town Hall. After a little debate, the senate discovered that there already was a coliseum committee, and they had no business recommending any sort of seating plan. Blit in the debate the question of white and Negro was pretty thoroughly discussed. At first some of the senators wanted to set aside a special section, and not let Ne groes get anyplace else. After this idea and its champions had run its course, other sen ators got up and said, in efect, “Why worry about it? How many of us are going to be bothered if a Negro sits beside us?” This side had its champions too, and if a vote had been taken, this side would have won. Of course, seating in a place of enter tainment is a far cry from sharing class rooms and living and eating areas, but the . senate has shown the direction Texas young people will probably go. Only a few years ago, no one in Texas would have stood up in public and said, “Why bother?” Not So Bad It’s not too well known, but as a state school, A&M is prohibited from hiring a “publicity man.” Some of the Texas solons consider pub licity per se “bad,” or something like that. Anyway, A&M has some people who have been working hard to see to it that A&M is known, and from the list of guests to be here for Military day, they’ve done a good job. People with positions like that don’t take a weekend off to wander down to a school no body’s ever heard of. Reduced to its basic idea. Military day itself is a big publicity, stunt. These high ranking military men and civ ilians, almost all of them in positions where they can do A&M some good, will go back to their jobs remembering A&M, and they’ll remember it when A&M needs help from them. Maybe publicity isn’t so bad, after all.

The report requested that each major field offer a one or two hour basic course to the freshmen in its. department, because “many stu dents never take a course in their field until they are sophomores.” Miscellaneous recommendations included different visiting hours for the hospital, new training air planes for the airport, removal of the bugle stand by the drill field because it is a traffic hazard, and magazine subscriptions for the dor mitory lounges. ^215S4m DYERS-FUR STORAGE HATTERS Students . . .
