Co-ed Case Reactions
At 9 a nr yeaterdav. the 10th District Tourt of Appeal*
handed down a rulinjf. roversinK the March 18 decision of
Judge W. T McDonald allowing two Bryan women to register
at AAM. less than minutes later, the news spread on the
campus and at noon it was announced in the dining halls.
When the announcement was made. Duncan rang with a
long lusty cheer. Nothing more was said.
It seems the quest fun of co-eds at A&M has two sides and
legal minds just don't agree which side is correct. The
question is a legal one. however, and one to l»e decided in the
courtroom not the classroom.
Students’ attitude Thursday was a far cry from Lhe dis
play of March 18 Aggies,, pleased or displeased with the re
versal. accepted the ruling of the higher court and went back
to the task of getting an education.
Certainly this change in attitude is for the good No
thing—not even girls at Texas A&M—should disrupt the
routine of seeking and gaining training for the future.
Everyone has an opinion on the c<>-ed case and it is
good to weigh the merits of each argument ami reach a per
sonal conclusion Imsed on facts available.
But l<K)king backward and nvutning over split “decisions”
will not alter the future- it is pointless and detracts from
the accomplishment of the primary purpone of A AM.
The case in not finally dis|x>*ed. if John Barron’s state
ment to carry it further, even to the Supreme Court, is true.
But despite the outcome, if yesterday’s reactions Ik» a true
picture of campus reactions, A AM will continue to be the
greatest school of its kind anywhere—with or without girls.
The 12th Man's Joh
Texas Aggie clash with the University of Missouri
Tigers tomorrow night in Kyle Field in the first home game
of the 1958 football season.
The contest will l>e rugged, but competition has never
dismayed the men of Aggieland. Nor has w in-loss records.
The game itself is in the hands of Jim Myers and his
crew of players—the 12 man has a somewhat different task.
The 12th man has Iteen long respected for its never-
ceasing sup|x>rt. despite the odds or circumstances. Aggies
support their team, win or loae.
It's easier to support a winning team. It takes more than
“school spirit” to support a team when it’s down.
It takes real men to stand by a young team, potentially
a winner but without the exjienence it takes to trounce
strong, practiced football machines.
This is the 12th Man’s job.

For real, down-to-earth smoking enjoy
ment, there’s nothing else like Camel.
No other cigarette brings you the rich
flavor and easygoing mildness of
Camel s costly blend. More people
smoke Camels than any other cigarette
of any kind. Today as always, the
best tobacco makes the best smoke.
