FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1955
No Kids, Please
A Southwest Conference school’s president said last night that
Texas Tech’s chances of getting- in the conference are encouraging.
He mentioned that representatives of other schools said “it would
be good to have Tech in the conference.”
And it would.
But another matter was brought up that should be a cause for
concern.
This was another mentioning of the University of Houston for
the conference. On this point, we would all do well to take Rice In
stitute’s apparent attitude toward its neighboring school—just pre
tend it doesn’t exist.
Aside from the financial standpoint, it’s almost a shame that A&M
plays the Cougars. Football is an inter-collegiate sport, or is supposed
to be. It is not, in all but reality, a way to fill the money coffers of
academic institutions.
Students here have never, in so far as we know, asked to take a
hand in who we play or who gets in the conference. But our team is
one of our sports representatives, and we should have some right to
express concern about questionable opponents.
UH has a good team, even though they lost their heads in the
second half last Sautrday. But their student body -lost their heads
during the entire game and afterwards. And have been doing so ever
since we started playing them. '
In some cases, surely, Aggies were at fault. But last week the
students of our school underwent quite a bit of filthy and obscene re
marks, plus a brutal attack, almost certainly at the hands of UH
“tough guys.” On the whole, 'the Aggies restrained themselves remark
ably well.
And last year in Houston was even worse.
Houston is a young university, big and brawny. And until the
student body there evolves from its infantile ways, it has no place
among its elders in the Southwest Conference.
