A Student Government?
The A&M Student Senate added to its already imposing repuation
as a petty organization last night by continuing to do nothing.
Argument ranged long and hard over a recommendation to the
Athletic Council about seating in Kyle Field. The success of the re
commendation is doubtful in view of an inability to satisfy even a
majority of students during the past years, including last season. No
one-session recommendation stands much chance of working out the
problem.
What the Senate did not touch was its worst sin—a sin that can
be explained only in rather crude and brutal words: “LACK OF GUTS.”
Eight members of the Senate attended the Texas Intercollegiate
Students Association conference last weeked, at which a resolution was
approved concerning segregation, the four points of which were printed
in Wednesday’s Battalion (thanks to a release from TISA).
Did the Senate discuss this resolution? No. Did the Senate even
mention it? No! Did our eight representatives vote for it during their
stay at the conference—which was a long ways from A&M ? We wonder.
What did the Senate spend the money for in sending these men to
the conference ? Surely not to have a committee look over the results,
of the conference and report that the resolutions weren’t good—since
they do not exactly fit with the present policy of the A&M System.
The Senate should have had a full report at its first meeting (last
night) following the conference. But it didn’t.
Just, what is our student governing body good for if it hasn’t got
the “guts” to tackle controversial problems?
Maybe it is just another excuse for the old Aggie refrain of

cheating? Your C. O. has author
ity to develop with you such a code
within his outfit, but he cannot do
it alone; he must have the support
of the men in his command.
“No honor code will be effective
until you adopt it and maintain it.
“If I were granted one wish,”
Dr. Morgan said, “and had the
power to change one word in your
thinking the substitution that I
would make is ‘responsibility’ for
‘privilege.’
“We went through a period of
raising our children under restric
tions, restraint, regimentation.
“The corps had similar practices.
Consequently, the members of each
class have looked forward to the
‘privileges’ they would receive next
year—personal benefit, not the op
portunity to grow, to try them
selves.”
