Waller Williams The Battalion’s Privilege The Battalion enjoys a privilege shared by few college newspapers—the right of freedom from censorship. The new Statement of Principles adopted by the Student Publications Board Monday confirms this right in simple language—“The right of freedom of the press, as enjoyed by free media everywhere . . The Statement of Principles gives The Battalion some thing for which other college newspapers can only hope. It has been given to us, our only hope is to show that we deserve to keep this freedom. The statement is as follows: A STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES The primary objective of student publications at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas is educational, providing practical experience for students in publications management, writing, editing, production, and distribution. Coincidentally, student publications provide printed media for the dissemination of news and information, thereby serv ing the College and its community. The educational and serv ice objectives are designed to enhance the knowledge of the students and the prestige of the College. The editors of student publications are expected to be guided by the accepted ethics of their profession, and to keep within the bounds of truthfulness, accuracy, sincerity, fair play, decency, impartiality, etc. Editors are further expected to maintain good faith with readers, and to respect the moral character of all persons and the reputation of the College. The right to freedom of the press, as enjoyed by other free media everywhere, is-an inseparable part of The Bat talion and other student publications; these derive such in alienable right by law. Neither the College nor Student Publi cations would have this freedom abridged. Freedom of the press, however, is not to be confused with LICENSE to at tack, or destroy, or otherwise subvert the source from which these periodicals, or any others, derive their freedom. To the PRIVILEGES afforded by press freedom, are inextricably joined the RESPONSIBILITIES for an intelligent fidelity to the public trust. The editor or journalist who makes use of his power for selfish or unworthy purpose violates a cardinal precept of his high calling. The student publications at Tex as A&M College should exemplify the loftiest ideals of the profession. This statement of principles was written under advise ment of the student editors of the 1958-59 school year, and was adopted unanimously by the Student Publication Board of the same year. Tent Replacement Was A&M Problem The problem of obtaining financial aid is nothing new to A&M. Appearing recently in The Dallas Morning News was this item about Texas colleges under the heading of “Edi torials Fifty Years Ago:” Thirty-eight tents are occupied by students at Tex as A&M College who are trying to get an education. These tents cost about $60; two boys occupy a tent a year; therefore, it costs $15 a year to keep a boy in a tent. The tent is furnished with bedstead, mattress, light, stove, fuel, table and chair. This accommodation, to gether with meals and laundry, costs the student $1371 for nine months. It will pay to provide permanent quarters for the students of A&M College. It is also in order to provide more liberally for the School of Industrial Arts at Den ton—while we have an accumulation of cash.

The set designer Harry Good ing did an excellent job in creat ing a simple set which remained the same throughout the play. The lighting crew used their ma terials to the greatest advantage in creating beautiful patterns of colors which would grace the old Majestic Theatre in New York City. Director C. K. Esten recreated Shakespeare’s island in “the still-vex’d Bermoothes” in the most imaginative way which creates a different aspect for every man’s mind. As far as the setting was con cerned the audience was told lit tle of its physical features except by Caliban (Raymond Simmontf). He described the island as “of a subtle, tender and delicate tem perance; it is ringed with sands on which the elves with print less foot do chase the ebbing Neptune and do fly him when he once comes back.” Alonso (Paul Curda), Gonzalo (Don Reynolds), and their com- S §* *- - -»* —jL’ aj| . \ ut\ THURSDAY and FRIDAY Kim Hunter in “MONEY, WOMEN AND GUNS” Plus George Gobel in “I MARRIED A WOMAN” The AGGIE PLAYERS present THE TEMPEST May 7-8-9 GUION HALL 8:00 P.
