The Battalion Page 2 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1956 Thoughts the Future The black veils of the white-sheeted Ku Klux Klan appear to be on the rise once more in our nation. This Klan is not an actuality that one can see. Instead, it is taking the intangible form of hatred and fear, a form that the “superior” do not approve. Even on our campus a group of men are bowing to this fear and hatred. It's fear of what is coming, for the end of segregation, the end of the myth of “white superiority” is nearing. Many of this group probably acknowledge the equality of mankind. They acknowledge it, but do not believe that it should be lived. And so a myth lives on, a counterfeit myth of “sincerity of purpose”, for no doubt these students believe themselves to be sincere. But a few things should be thought about, what the future holds, both for A&M and for the individual. Take the Corps, for instance, and take specifically its acknowledged purpose of training future leaders. Cadets will leave A&M and the majority go into one of the armed services—and, whether they like it or not, into a desegregated armed services. Civilian students also will be going into a desegregated armed services. They, too, will have no choice. And both Corps and civilian students have to face a world that is moving, not standing still in the bogs of hatred, fear and prejudice. At least, we sincerely hope that the world is moving toward better ground. • Think about these things, even if you don’t like to do so. Negroes and whites are going to be together for a long time to come. No one is shoving integration down A&M’s throat. The Board of Directors has its policy on this matter; future action is in their hands and will be based on what they consider is necessary in light of the Supreme Court’s decision. v . .

TA 2-5229 A Campus-to-Career Case History Winfield Gigucre, here tuning the coils of an IF strip on an experimental FM receiver that uses the new high-frequency transistor. “Our business is new ideas, new developments” Winfield J. Giguere, or Giggs as he is known, graduated in 1954 from the Uni versity of New Hampshire with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Shortly after graduation he joined Bell Telephone Lab oratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. “Experience has come my way in a hurry,” says Giggs. ‘'I’ve worked on carrier system amplifiers, ‘speech trans mission problems, and experimental types of coaxial cable. The Labs are al ways pushing ahead, trying new ideas, ex ' ‘ ' ' s. i ui example, ngni nu» I’m working with 'the transistor that smashed a fre quency barrier.’ This new transistor has a cut-off frequency of at least 500 me and can be used to amplify 2500 separate telephone conversations simultaneously. It will make possible broadband, high- frequency amplification in many fields using subminiature components. “There are thousands of other fascinat ing projects underway at the Bell Labs. You see, at the Labs our business is new ideas, new developments, and that’s one reason w hy I like working here. It’s ex citing. If there are better w ays to commu nicate, you can bet the Labs are looking for them.” Winfield Giguere is typical of the many young men who are finding careers in Bell Telephone Labo ratories. Many other career opportunities exist in the Bell Telephone Companies, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your placement officer has more information about these companies. Bell Telephone System
