The Battalion Page 2 FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1956 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 Job Interviews Monday THE TEXAS PIPE LINE COM PANY, Houston—accounting ma jors at the BA Department.

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.” Bolivian Educator Will Visit A&M The Committee on the Leaders Program of the American Council of Education is sending a leading Bolivan educator to A&M March 12-14 to study various aspects of our educational system.
