New Men Today
Today some of the finest and most capable men who
have ever worked on The Battalion take over the biggest job
on the campus—trjdng to please everybody and still do their
jobs as responsible newspapermen.
Leaving them to experience for themselves the feeling
of being of service to their fellow students and other readers
of their newspaper, are some tired but proud seniors.
In the minds of these men who will soon take their
place in the world, there are thoughts of the good things
they have been able to accomplish throughout the year.
They have made mistakes, surely, but these are only
a part of the rocky road of life and have been lessons which
will influence their future reactions.
Of course, its like final review for the old Battalion
staffers who will leave the jobs they’ve devoted their hearts,
minds and souls to since early in their college years.
But none can be too sorry to leave when they realize
that devoted newspapermen with the true best interests
of their alma mater at heart are there capable of taking
over where the seniors left off in building a better Aggie-
land.
Good luck to you, Joe Buser. You have a big job ahead
of you. Remember always the principles of good journalism
and the welfare of Aggieland—“the school we love so
well.”—JT
Was It Worth It?
Today ends the jobs of the senior editors of The Bat
talion. Most people don’t realize the amount of time that
goes into publishing one issue of a newspaper, let alone
four every week. i
After working long hours, losing sleep, weight and
grade points, the consensus among these senior editors is
that the time was well spent. ,
Not only have the editors provided their readers with
the news, but they have also increased their own knowledge
through that invaluable asset called experience.
Since the day we walked into The Battalion’s news office
until yesterday when we cleaned our desks out we have been
learning. The man who said “experience is the best teacher”
knew exactly what he was talking about. The four years or
less spent on the newspaper staff have been years to be re
membered for the rest of our lives.
To many people on this campus, being identified with
The Battalion is tantamount to being termed radical. If radi
cal means to try and increase one’s knowledge through learn
ing then the members of the newspaper staff are certainly
radicals.
The editor of The Battalion this year has shown the
courage that newspapermen throughout the history of our
great nation have shown. For having the courage of his
convictions, he has been harassed both mentally and physical
ly by people who have yet to learn what the word maturity
means. y
Our only hope is that his work has not been done in
vain. Perhaps some of our readers have been able to see a
' little more clearly what is going on in the wcsrld around them.
If they can, then the efforts put into publishing this news
paper have been worthwhile. '
But if the readers of this newspaper can only breathe
a sigh of relief now that the “reign of terror” is over then
we can only ask ourselves if it was worth it.
We think so.—JN

Too Much Credit Buying,
Says College Students
A favorite subject of cartoon
ists is the woman who has just
charged some new article to her
husband’s account, but /a recent
survey conducted by Associated
Collegiate Press of Student Opin
ion should throw a slightly dif
ferent light on this time honored
joke.
A substantial proportion of the
college coeds interviewed feel
there is too much credit buying
done today. More than fifty per
cent of the college men feel the
same way, but the coeds have a
strong lead over the men.
The most vigorous protest of
too much credit buying comes
from the junior coeds interviewed.
Eighty-nine per cent of them
agree with the statement which
was put to them none disagree,
and eleven per cent haven’t made
up their minds. Seniors rostered

the greatest number of “agree”
answers among the men inter
viewed. Seventy-one per cent of
them think there is too much
credit buying, twenty-one per
cent would disagree with that
statement, and seven per cent
haven’t made up their minds.
Sophomore coeds martialed the
greatest number of “disagrees”
among the college women inter
viewed, but the lowest percentage
of coeds who agree there is too
much credit buying comes from
the seniors. This fact can be ex
plained by nothing that a fourth
of the seniors are undecided, as
opposed to only seventeen per
cent of the sophomores who are
still in doubt.
Sophomores also accounted for
the greatest proportion of the
men in any class who do not think
there is an excess of credit buying
today. Thirty-nine per cent of
them disagreed with the state
ment made in the question, but
again, as was the case with the
coeds, the greatest number- of
“disagrees” does not mean the
smallest number of “agrees.”
Junior men captured that cate
gory, with barely over half of
them saying they think there is
too much credit buying.
