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.”

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. Now let me

explain—it is not that I am up
set because I must walk to the first
floor to mail a letter, but what
really gets me is that each day we
sit idle and lose those things which
we thought would be ours when we
were finally seniors.
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.
