An Editorial
Learning: A Duty
Judge James P. Hart last night stressed the importance
of the educated mind to the future of our country.
His remarks apply not only to the technical and scien
tific field but every facet of our educational system today.
No more can any field or those studying it afford to
maintain an educational status-quo or waste many moments
in striving for the betterment of our nation and ultimately
mankind in general.
In the interests of the nation’s future, each Aggie
should spend every available moment preparing himself to
serve mankind in his chosen field and becoming a better
citizen.
As Judge Hart said, too much emphasis is placed on
leisure and acquiring material gains and not enough on
serving our fellowman as brothers under God should.
Letters To The Editor
Editor:
The Battalion
The South once stood behind
the wall of tradition, and that
wall fell on her. Don’t let that
happen to this great institution.
Continue the good work in
“Letters to the Editor” and I am
sure that the lost cause will fall
on itself.
Bert L. Driskill Jr. ’59
Editor,
The Battalion:
When we read the Battalion to
day, we had the best laugh yet.
This coeducation jag which the
editor and his ultra-liberal family
are on may be abortive, but it is
turning this college newspaper
into the laughing stock of the
community.
Your slanted news stories,
“fishy” looking student polls and
renegade political policies have
made the Battalion an oracle of
radicalism.
One front page cartoon de
picts Governor Daniel as a weak
ling who has to be goaded into
action. Why? After all, Mr.
Howard’s request that Governor
Daniel do something came just a
few hours before the sub-commit
tee was dissolved. Are you an
tagonistic toward the governor
because he is a conservative polit
ically ? Or is it because he didn’t
instantly take a violently fanati
cal stand on the issue ?
Woodrow Wilson’s comment
might be appropriate to the Bat
talion: “A little group of wjllful
men representing no opinion but
their own.”
Sincerely yours,
Don Winans, ’59
Norman Orthwein, ’60
Theodore Shields, ’60

Seems like the watei', water
everywhere bit in the new Corps
area Tuesday was a success—or
a disaster, depending on one’s
vantage point.
Those who watched from the
safety of the steam tunnel got
nothing; those that participated
got wet. And an inspection.
Yes, it seems the college still
disapproves o f late-at-night
water follies for the troops.
