Thank YoiT from A&M
TI Religious Emphasis Week at A&M will end tomorrow
D.DAdth the final morning program at 9 in Guion.
But, of course, all connected with and all interested m
-he program hope that the emphasis of religion on the cam-
)us will continue throughout the rest of tne year.
A lot of work has been done to make this year’s week
i success. And to all of these men and women who have
aken a part in the work goes a “thanks” from everyone
vho has participated in the program.
And especially goes a thanks to the men who have taKen
;he lead in the dormitory, faculty and married students’
forums and discussion groups, and to. Dr. Morris Wee, the
ionvocation speaker.
R. E. Week number 13 is almost over. But an old lesson
;hat everyone undoubtedly has heard many times would
)e suitable right here:
“You shouldn’t go to church on Sunday and then act
as you please the other days of the week.”
And the same applies to the Religious Emphasis Week:
“You shouldn’t put on your Sunday-go-to-meeting man-
lers for just this one week, and then act as you please the
^ther 51 weeks of the year.”
And that little rule-of-thumb could be applied to many
things besides religion. Aim for truth, and then live ih

Letters To The Editor
Editor, Battalion:
Although this letter is addressed
to the editor, it is actually meant
to be an open letter to Mr. James
P. M. Sylei', ’57.
Mr. Syler, you are undoubtedly
correct in your assertion that Au-
therine Lucy is a “figure head”
for the NAACP. It is most likely
true, as you further assert, that
the NAACP is, in part, financed
by the Communist Party. Also,
why would the Communist Party
be interested in the lot of the
American Negro, if not as a means
for stirring up hate and trouble in
general?
At this point, Mr. Syler, it might
be a good idea to carry your “deep
thoughts” a little deeper. Just
what is the nature of the condition
that has allowed the Communist
Party to be presented with such a
wonderful and natural opportunity
to carry on its little game? Dare
you to blame this opportunity on
the Negro’s desire for an even
break or must you lay it to your
own door—in that you and many
like you are unwilling to admit that
the Negro deserves a break? How
attached would the Negro, or any
minority group) be to the Commu
nist Party if there were no public
segregation based on racial preju
dice ?
I, personally, would never pre
tend to be without prejudice. An
America of “Anglo-pickaniny” de
cent doesn’t appeal to me in the
least. But I and you and every
white American must realize that
the Negro has grown out of the
“Darkey” stage in the United
States, and deserves a chance to
prove it. Until we do realize this,
the Communists—or who-so-ever—
can wave our dirty wash under the
nose of the world.
One* other thing bothers me.
That “separate but equal” business.
Do you, Mr. Syler, actually believe
that the Negro in Texas has
“equal” opportunity for-—let’s say
—-education ? Do you really believe
that the average • Negro public
school teacher is as qualified, or
has the opportunity to become as
qualified, as the average teacher
in a white school? Do you think
the Negro schools—as a whole—
are as well equipped, modern, or
adequate in any way, as are those
of the whites ? And then, what
would a young Negro man do if he
happened to be interested in wild
life management (for instance) and
wanted to enter a school that made
available such a course of study?
Could he enter A&M or any other
southwestern school that qualified?
No, Mr. Syler, he could only foyge.^
the whole thing or, perhaps, be
come a pawn of the NAACP. Why
should he have to do either?
Let’s not hide our prejudice un
der the guise of “Americanism,”
Mr. Syler. Be open about it.
