Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1955 BATTALION CLASSIFIED Salute to UT The Board of Regents at the University of Texas has taken a long stride forward in restoring the birthright taken and kept for years from a group of our fellow humans. That group of courageous persons must have done a lot of thinking before coming to a decision as historic as the admittance of Negroes to the undergraduate schools of the institution. What happens next, no one can tell, but the chains are now broken, the slave is free. And it was almost slavery that has hound the Negro here in the South. Not the slavery of pre-Civil War days, but the economic and social enslavement that has kept these people from realizing the true abundance of living in our country. The doors of UT will be open to all qual ified students, regardless of racial origin, in the fall of 1956—with a selective system for limiting enrollment. The decision to lim it enrollment was forced by a lack of money and by the rapidly mounting student enroll ment. Honest action on the part of Univer sity officials will keep this one restriction from becoming another “Jim Crow” law. Lax or deliberately misleading actions could turn this history making decision into another of the many farces that have blackened the his tory of our state. What effect this action will have on our own college in the future is not easily fore told. The A&M System has an excellent branch college in Prairie View A&M for Ne groes. But, it is certainly possible that ad mission here may be sought by a Negro, and the possibility of a girl taking this opportun ity to try to cross the forbidden line is also conceivable. Which way the UT action will turn events here, and to what extent these events will go, the future will have to reveal. Changes are coming, as they have been at A&M for many years. What is done with these chan ges will depend upon the liberal attitude of us at A&M. So, without knowing just what is coming to us, and without knowing just how the University’s Regents’ action will come out, the move is to be highly commended. And, although the action is “history making” in Texas, it should not be called an act of humanitarism. It’s just a long de layed recognition of the equality of some of our fellow humans.
