Battalion Editorials Page 2 THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1955 Train Trouble College Station is about to lose its daytime railroad service if the Texas Railroad Commission grants Southern Pacific the authority to stop the “Sunbeam” trains. The Sunbeam, which runs between Dallas and Houston, with two stops at College Station, is the only daytime passen ger train in this area. The northbound and southbound night trains will still be around, but not many people will be too happy about going south around 4 a.m. or north around 1:30 a.m. The railroad company has a reason for asking for re moval of the Sunbeam trains. The trains have piled up heavy losses over the past several years, they say. The passenger traffic has switched to bus, airplane and private automobile, complains the company. On the other side of the fence, the people who will be affected if the trains are removed also have a cause to com plain. One of the biggest complaints would probably come from A&M students who are used to having their girlfriends come here via rail. Whatever is decided, and it will be up to the Texas Railroad Commission, both sides of the fence must be looked behind. When looking at the company’s figures of losses, the Commission should keep in mind efficiency and type of service rendered. And the validity of the passengers’ argu ments against removal of the trains must be weighed. The Commission should set their sights on a fair decis ion, and keep going toward that decision. And on that decision will rest the fate of how some of us will be going and coming. Battalion Classifieds WANT AD BATES One day 2^ per word Two days.. 3^ per word Three days.

Circulation Manager Davis (Continued from Page 1) strength would decline more rapid ly if I took such a task upon my shoulders. “When it became known through out Mississippi that I had decided to accept the presidency many pro tests were sent to me and many of my friends called and insisted that I spend the balance of my days at home. I finally yielded and declined the presidency with re gret.” President Davis, at the sugges tion of the board of directors, pre sented the name of Thomas S. Gathright for the presidency of the college. Gathright was at that time superintendent of public in struction in Mississippi. He was elected and became the first presi dent of Texas A&M—taking office in 1876.
