I Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1955 Wrong Track The budding - “over-enthusiasm*’ of form er students has invaded the stately halls of the capitol at Austin. The Texas senator, an Aggie-ex, yester day told the Senate that the other Southwest conference schools were jealous because A&M He probably is right, but it would be quite wrong for the Senate to investigate the conference officials’ ruling. These officials made the action, and they’re the ones to correct their mistakes— appeared to be getting a good football team, not the Texas Senate. Opportunity Lost The outgoing Student Senate set a poor example for next year’s senators at their final meeting last night. Personal remarks, no doubt hastily in jected and duly apoligized for later, smirch ed a good chance for the newcomers to get a good look at how they will be expected to carry on. With all of the fine work the Senate had done this year, it was a shame that a senator had to say at this last meeting, “This is the first meeting I’ve attended that really dis gusted me.” Cadet Slouch ... by James Earle mev! vo' i-o TUiCcr v &ip I WAe pigutim' iu Adstim' TUEG-DAV/ I AIN’T NO TEA-SIP! 1 T1400GI4T VOU WASf j- AS ALWAYS Something NEW at Lou’s Crepe Soled SHOES $3.98 If you can wear them out this summer, LOU will GIVE you a new pari this fall.

No Definite Plans Made On Press Move Exactly when the A & M Press will move has not yet been decided, according to J. Frank Tucker, manager of the Press. The new location is across the street from the col lege power plant. “All we know is that we are go ing to move. Just when it will be, we cannot yet say,” Tucker said. Easily handled equipment will be moved by press employees, he said. The heavy machinery will be moved by a moving agency, and the equipment will be moved over a period of time, rather than all at once. With this spread out moving, the press will not have to suspend all operations, and will be able to keep right on printing most of the time. No definite plans as to what will be done with the present quar ters of the press, in the basement of Goodwin hall, have been made, Tucker said.
