The Union First
Early this week Union County, S.C. legislators ordered
10 sub-machine guns to enforce county and state laws in
cluding those requiring school segregation.
A legislative head said the arms would be used to “re
pel any invasion by federal troops or anyone else violating
our laws.”
What a striking parallel to pre-Civil War days. It was
Fort Sumter in South Carolina where the big trouble began
then.
Most of this generation has been told that in our mod
ern, sensible society, nothing that even resembles a civil
strife could ever occur.
When a state in the modern United States takes an
action like South Carolina did, many a teaching crumbles
and persons who shouted loudest for patriotism during
World War II immediately fall in esteem.
It is the awakening of the sleeping lion of provincial
ism, long thought to have died with the end of reconstruc
tion days.
The action in South Carolina and the one in Little
Rock which are disguised under the modern cry for states’
rights, are stereotypes of Southern states attempts at nul
lification during Andrew Jackson’s administration.
Jackson said then, “The Union, it must be preserved.”
He was proposing a toast at the time and let Southern lead
ers know he would stand for the Union at all costs.
His statement is as true now as then. No matter what
state or section a U.S. citizen lives in, he should be an
American first and foremost and a citizen of a state or sec
tion next.

Members of the short-hair set
take note: you’ve lost your curly
locks, your pegged pants with
buckling backs, and “other
things,” and maybe after this
weekend, you’ll lose your girl.
Don’t put it off—live it up while
you can.
Getting the gate from some
lovely thing who no longer can
fight the “you’re here and I’m
somewhere else” bit is probably
one of the few traditions untouch
ed by passing time.
Many an optimistic Ag has left
his fair damsel weeping, confi
dent she’ll still have tears in her
eyes when he returns. And
many of these same Ags pester
their buddies for dates within a
few months.
So the outlook’s not good,
freshmen. Pie who said, “It’s
better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all,”
never spent much time in the
Brazos bottom.

MSC President
Displays Talent
Ambition, intelligence, and de
sire highlight the story of friend
ly Don McGinty, president of the
Memorial Student Center Coun
cil.
McGinty started his climb to
“fame” by working on an MSC
committee, and in three short
years rose to MSC Council presi
dency. Along the way he was
recording secretary of his fresh
man class; and last year, Don
served as vice president of the
MSC Council.
Commander of Squadron 4, Mc
Ginty has also proven to be out
standing fn the Corps. His soph
omore year McGinty was voted
outstanding sophomore in his
wing, last year to be selected the
outstanding junior.
Not limiting himself to the
Corps, McGinty shows that he is
a member of Alpha Zeta, the ag
riculture . honor society. He also
has been a distinguished student
four times.
The MSC Council president
says this year the Council is try
ing to inform Aggies on opportu
nities offered by the MSC.
“There are 19 committees in
the MSC Directorate, and all of
them work toward satisfying
the students’ interests,” spoke
McGinty.
Special projects being planned
for Aggies this year by the MSC
include a spring fashion show for
men, with the clothes being fur
nished by Foley’s of Houston.
McGinty said that the Council is
planning - the show toward the
end of the year, so that those
graduating seniors and students
going out for summer employ
ment will have a better idea of
men’s fashions.
The Council, under the lead
ership of McGinty, has begun a
thorough study of swimming-
pools all over the nation, with
the idea in mind of building a
deluxe pool behind the MSC in
the future.
As president of the MSC Coun
cil, McGinty presides . over the
council at all meetings and has
the responsibility of seeing that
all Center activities are running
smoothly.
