Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1955 Thank You, Gentlemen The Student Publications Board in a reg ular meeting yesterday reaffirmed as its permanent policy the statement on “Free dom of the Press” as adopted at the October, 1954, meeting of the Board. The statement, which applies to all student publications on this campus, was adopted unanimously by the original faculty and student members of the Board at their first meeting, and was sub scribed to by the first Dean of Student Per sonnel Services as he began his duties. It incorporates this statement by the President of the College: “The following statement is made with the objective of providing a basis for effec tive cooperation between the editors of Stu dent Publications, the Office of Student Pub lications and the Student Publications Board. The statement is representative of the pres ent appointees to the Student Publications Board.” “The objectives of the student publica tions of Texas A&M College include educa tion and practical experience for the students who participate, furnishing of journalistic and literary media to serve the college and its community, and adding to the prestige of the college and its schools. “The present appointees to the Student Publications Board subscribe to President David H. Morgan’s statement: ‘The Battal ion and the other student publications have freedom of the press, accompanied by the responsibilities that such freedom entails. The editorial policy of each student publica tion is determined by the student editors. The student editors are not expected to ex press officially the policies and attitudes of the College Administration. The editors are nevertheless expected to be aware of the spe cial character given to the newspaper and the other, publications by their association with the College, and to have what they see as the long-run best interest of the College at heart. The student editors have the right to disagree with and be constructively crit ical of the administration of the College, but they are expected to tell all sides of each news story as accurately and completely as pos sible. As a concomitant to its having free dom of the press as enjoyed by other free ne wspapers, The Battalion occupies the same position relative to the College as do such newspapers, without special privilege.’ ” “The editors of student publications are expected to be guided by the accepted ethics of their profession, as outlined for example by the Code of Newspaper Ethics of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. This involves responsibility, freedom of the press, independence, sincerity, truthfulness, accuracy, impartiality, fair play, and decen cy. It is expected that the editors will be accurate, complete, objective, and avoid ed- itoralizing in news stories.” Cadet Slouch by James Earle , ■ "t-Tii- m rv TM't'M.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editors: Today has been another hot, dis appointing day in the life of many Aggies on the A&M campus. Many souls were tried and a few of the weaker bit the dust which is al together routine on this, the most famous campus in Texas. Each day we sit idly by watching those things for which this school is so well known being tossed out in the efforts to keep our fish re gardless of their many weaknesses. The physical hazing is gone and with it part of the respect held by many of our fathers and broth ers for this great school. Just to day there has been issued an order to the effect that all mail must be placed in a central box to make it easier on the freshman mail or derly — tomorrow who knows — no mail orderly at all.

Tlach day there is forming in everyone’s mind the idea, “Let me out without too much effort and to heck with the rest of the school,”— why?—because it is meaning less and less each day to be an upper classman.
