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.

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.
