An Editorial
Grealesi Spirit
The Texas Aggies are now the No. 1 team in the nation
ahead of mighty Oklahoma. The day of glory Aggies hoped
for has finally come.
To win the national championship, however, all Aggies
—the team and the 12th Man—still must meet four more
strong teams, while Oklahoma has only one major threat
in Notre Dame.
Every Aggie undoubtedly knows that Coach Paul Bry
ant and that determined Aggie team, will be out there in
every game playing their hearts out for the greatest school
in the nation.
So, now that A&M has nationwide recognition, the role
of the greatest Spirit in the nation begins to play the biggest
part it has been called upon to play in many years.
Aggies, now’s the time to really think of the meaning
of those opening words to “The Spirit of Aggieland.”
“Some may boast of prowess bold,'
Of a school they think so grand,
But there’s a spirit that’s n’er been told
It’s the ‘Spirit of Aggieland.’ ”
To win the national championship or the Southwest
Conference championship, these words that set A&M apart
from all other schools must be uppermost in the hearts and
minds of Aggies everywhere.
Ignoring the Late
The Texas House of Representatives has asked Presi
dent Eisenhower not to force “modern sociological concepts”
on Texas by the use of troops.
Undoubtedly, the solons were speaking of the law of
the land as interpreted by the U. S. Supreme Court con
cerning integration.
No one wants President Eisenhower to have to use
federal troops in Texas to enforce integration. However, if
the individual rights of the Negm—a, citizen of the United
States—are denied by a provincialistic state, the federal
government has no other choice but to step in and insure
those rights.
These so-called “modern sociological concepts” are
really as old as the Declaration of Independence in which
Thomas Jefferson wrote, all men “are endowed' by their
creator with certain inalienable rights.”
They also are as old as the Christian religion which
teaches the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God.
Once again the legislature has waved the flag of “states
rights” and ignored the law of the land. Once again they’ve
tried to keep the federal government out of the racial ques
tion because they still foster the prejudices of earlier days.
Back Community Chest
Solicitors for the College Station Community Chest
will be contacting residents for the next few weeks at
tempting to reach the Chest goal of $14,950.
Some 15 agencies will be benefited from contributions
of civic-minded citizens.
When asked to contribute to the help of needy persons
and groups, every person should think twice before refusing
to donate to a cause which can do so much goood for so
many persons.
It is not only the duty but the moral obligation of good
citizens to support worthwhile causes like the Community
Chest.

Highlights and Sidelights
From Your State Capitol
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN, Tex.—It’s time for a
showdown, says the Senate in
vestigating committee.
Our Texas Legislature has .got
ten a black eye, the committee
feels, and it wants to find out
why. Said the committee’s chair
man, Sen. Charles Hearring of
Austin, “There’s been a tendency
on the part of the public to blame
the Legislature for everything
that happens.”
He attributed this to: (1) Acts
of a few lawmakers who dis
credited the entire branch, (2)
loose and irresponsible talk and
(3) a tendency of other state
agencies to blame the Legislature
in' an attempt to cover up their
own , shortcomings and “even
dereliction of duty.”
Federal Force Denounced—De
spite difficulties among them
selves, pro-segregation represen
tatives pushed through a strong
ly- worded resolution against en
forced integration.
By a vote of 112 to 24, House
members criticized President
Eisenhower’s action at Little Rock.
“It did not,” said the resolution,
‘‘reflect constitutional govern
ment deriving its powers from the
consent of the governed.”
