Our Liberty Depends on the Freedom of the Press, And It Cannot Be Limited Without Being Lost . . . Thomas Jefferson Need More Like Them In the School of Agriculture ground is being broken everyday to insure that they will not be wanton in the balance of enrollment next fall. Yesterday the School’s council hosted 40 junior college agriculture students to a one-day tour of our facilities. There was no “arm-twisting” to get their names on our roll—none was needed. A quick once-over of the excellent facilities at A&M was enough to convince the young men really interest ed in getting the very best education. As an added attraction, they presented an agriculture conclave last night headed by Board Member Sterling C. Evans, former president of the Federal Land Bank in Hous ton. It is another example of their School. Earlier this semester in conjunction with the Depart ment of Journalism they sponsored the nation’s first Agri cultural News Communications Conference. It is more proof of their earnest desire to improve their School and conse quently their college. Our congratulations to Dean G. W. Watson and his hard working staff—they are the kind of men we need. We can not have too many people working earnestly to put Texas A&M back where it belongs—number one college of its kind— anywhere. Letters To The Editor The Battalion welcomes letters to the editor hut reserves the right to edit letters for brevity, clearness and accuracy. Short letters stand a better chance for publication since space is at a premium. Unsigned letters will not be published... Ex Says 6 Amen’ Editor, The Battalion: As an Aggie-ex of “01’ Army” days I have been following the recent campaign to minimize har- rassment of freshmen with con siderable interest. I would like to compliment you on sound, well written editorials, add my “amen” to them that wish you and all others working on this campaign to really improve A&M lots of luck. R. C.

Parking situations may not be quite as bad walk illustrates, but it is a pain around as this car parked on the Guion Hall side- A&M. (The car above got a ticket.) f Better Parking Lots-4 Proposed Buildings Keeps Paving From Some Lots think that I can speak about haz ing at A&M. Our two sons never come home complaining about it—in fact we ahvays had a good laugh about everything that happened. What are the boys that can’t take it going to do when the army calls them ? Is “mom” go ing to complain to Uncle Sam^ Keep the traditions and let the pampered boys go to another school. If the desire to learn is in stilled in a child when he starts to school no one has to worry about him when he reaches 18. Failure in anything is no dis grace—the disgrace comes when you don’t try again. Mrs. M. L. Andrews Yoakum, Texas (Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a series of articles de signed to answer student’s ques tions concerning the parking sit uation on the A&M campus.) By BILL REED Battalion News Editor Several obstacles seem to be de terring the paving of student parking areas. First of all, last summer the proper gravel and needed mater ials could not be obtained to put the parking lots in top condition, so work was postponed until LUBBOCK Lv. 7:02 AM.

Now, paving the lots has been re-sched uled to start when the weather gets warmer. But there is still another im portant reason for the delay. Some of the areas will be replaced by buildings sometime in the future. According to college improve ment plan several buildings will replace some of the lots. New Petroleum Building The first building that is sched uled to be built is the new $650,000 Petroleum Engineering Building, which will be located just east of the present Petroleum-Geology Building. Part of the Day Student park ing lot behind the petroleum building will be occupied by part of the building, cutting the park ing capacity of the large lot.

Building Students have asked why the vacant corner behind the chemis try and engineering buildings has not been paved for use as a park ing lot. This is another new build ing site. Plans are on the drawing board for a new Engineering Drawing Building. When the building is complete the area surrounding it will probably be used for park ing space. Still farther in the future is a whole new quadrangle of dormi tories. This new domitory area is. planned on the present site of the Navasota parking area. By the time these buildings are completed, new parking areas will probably be developing to replace the ones that are destroyed. Eat just what you like . . .
