A Revealing Visit
Friday, a group of A&M students and several members
of the Student Publications Board made a trip to the Uni
versity of Texas to get an inside view of the publications
program there.
Hospitality was the byword of the UT people as pro
fessors and students rolled out the red carpet for the Aggie
visitors.
In addition to the tour and explanation of the Univer
sity’s publications program, the UT journalists honored the
Aggies with a luncheon. n j 4.
Most of the time was spent with the faculty and students
talking with each other in learning the different ways ot
handling student publications.
There were two marked differences shown m the way
A&M handles its publications program against that used by
1. ' The Daily Texan has an Editorial Director that reads
all copy before it is sent to the press.
2. The handbook of regulations governing the student
publications has designated certain areas that are taboo and
not to be dwelt upon. a
Fortunately, A&M student publications are not saddled
with either of these. , , ,
By-laws of the publications program here state that
“if the Director were required to read all or any part of the
copy prior to publication, this would necessarily make him
responsible for everything that is printed in the publications,
and he would therefore become de facto editor.”
Also, the paper would no longer be a student publica
tion which is the primary reason for its being here.
Naturally such freedom as A&M enjoys entails a heavy
responsibility. But the only rule of student editoi s heie
is that they follow the ethics of good journalism. This in
itself is enough to insure responsible handling of pubhca-
tl0nS Thanks go to all of the Student Publications Board
members who took the time to go to Austin in the interest
of a better publications program here.
But for the main part, their work has already been done.
They have established, and so far, kept a program stressing
ideals of a free press that are not often seen even in the
world of professional journalists.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
A Campus-to-Career Case History
Claire Hruska (left) discusses progress of a new telephone building with the contractor.
What’s a civil engineer’s job
in the telephone company?
(Tt
Claire Hruska graduated in 1953 from
the University of Washington with a B.S.
in Civil Engineering. Today he’s with
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
“I supervise construction at every
stage,” Claire says. “Every telephone
building is designed around the equip
ment that will be in it. When a building
is needed, I work closely with the archi
tect to make sure his plans fit the needs.
Then I check the contractors’ bids. When
the contract is let, it’s my responsibility
to see that the builder sticks to the plans
in detail.
“Right now I’m handling the construc
tion of several telephone exchanges, a
large office building in downtown Seattle,
and additions to other buildings. It’s
satisfying work, because I’m on my own a
lot, and getting the jobs done is up to me.
“I’ve got a career that offers big as
signments and responsibilities, and real
opportunities to get ahead in a business
that’s growing rapidly. That’s what I
was Looking for.”
Claire Hruska is typical of the many young men
who are finding rewarding careers in the Bell Tele
phone System. For more information on career
opportunities in the Bell Telephone Companies,
Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and
Sandia Corporation, see your placement officer.
