This Is What
Has Been Done
If
Now that the desirability of changing the name of Texas
A&M College is definitely under study and no longer rumor,
there will doubtless be numerous questions in the minds of
students and faculty as to what has actually been done.
It should be emphasized that the matter is only under
study and has been recommended for formal consideration.
No official action has been taken.
At the request of the Academic Council and the College
Executive Committee the President of the College appointed
a study Commission earlier this month to advise them on
the desirability of changing the name of the College. This
study Commission recommended formal consideration.
The Commission was composed of Price Hobgood of the
School of Agriculture, A. F. Isbell of the School of Arts and
Sciences, E. L. Harrington of the School of Engineering,
John Milliff of the School of Veterinary Medecine and L. A.
Duewall of the College-at-Large.

Here is the procedure and the reasons of this Commis
sion in their recommendation:
The Commission handled the matter by considering this
question: “Should the name of the College Be changed?” TiX['T'fi'T?T>I?f7 r rTlVr'
Taking the question, the Commission heard definitions /-/V1 tLiCl lVLL 1 llMLr
of the words “College” and “University” from a standard
and accepted dictionary. The point was made unanimous
ly was that the term “College” was limited, while the term
“University” was broad and comprehensive.
★ ★ ★
The conclusion of the Commission was that Texas A&M
College is calling itself something it actually is not.
In their report to the Academic Council and the Execu
tive Committee, the Commission said that, at present, public
associations with the word “College” and its limited connota
tions is detrimental to the prestige of Texas A&M. Such
loss of prestige is hindering the College in attracting both

letter was addressed to Clifford

facilities in the College Station
area.)
Editor,
The Battalion:
Thank you for your letter of
Nov. 15 in which you mention
the unfavorable facilities that
we have in College Station for
the bus station.
We are in agreement with you
and I am glad to advise that we
have several pieces of property
in mind for establishing a new
bus station and restaurant. In
fact, I am leaving this date to
look at some property and feel
sure that we will be able to build
a bus station that will do credit
to your beautiful city.
We would, however, like to ask
that you bear with us until we
can make definite arrangements.
Hope to have construction start
ed very shortly.

A&M is a “University” and the name “College” should be
changed to incorporate the word “University.”

Three of the members of the Commission stated that
recent surveys had been made in their respective schools
among the department heads and faculty. The fourth mem
ber stated that many opinions in his school had also been
sought on the matter of a possible name change.
All four members reported an overwhelming number
favoring such action.
It was futher emphasized that Texas A&M today is in a
position of leadership in higher education, particularly in Tex
as, but that the other colleges with more students which are
state-supported may be seeking name changes soon to include
“University” and that if Texas A&M is to maintain its
present position of leadership it would be beneficial to have
“University” in the College’s name.
★ ★ ★
Should Texas A&M delay, the Commission agreed, the
College would run the risk of losing a desirable name which
by modern acceptance is identfied with the Land-Grant Com
plex. Texas A&M might thereby find itself in the embarras-
ing position of trying to defend its entitlement to such name
at a later date.
Therefore, the unanimous opinion of the Commission
was that the present name of Texas A&M should be changed
to incorporate the word “University” and the time to act is
now and without delay.
★ ★ ★
That, basically, is the recommendation submitted to the
Executive Committee. The College Executive Committee
then appointed the members of this Commission and three
student leaders to a Committee to work through it to further
study the name-change possibility.
If this Committee sees fit to recommend a change of
names for Texas A&M, the report will be submitted to the
Board of Directors of the A&M College System through the
Chancellor of the System. From there, if the recommenda
tion is carried, it will be presented to the Texas Legislature
for final approval.

“STRANGERS WHEN WE

“SEVEN THIEVES”
with Edward G. Robinson
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON —The Repub
lican National Committee’s gen
eral counsel said Tuesday the
disappearance of official election
documents from Chicago City
Hall is “dramatic evidence of a
widening vote scandal in Illinois.”
Saying the documents appar
ently were stolen, Meade Alcorn
declared this “promises to have
serious national repercussions.”
The GOP official noted that
President-elect John F. Kennedy
said Monday night all indications
Kennedy received were that the
vote count so far had been ac
curate.
“However, the evidence mounts
that an impartial investigation
of the strange doings in Cook
County might prove otherwise,”
Alcorn said in a statement.
Illinois Republicans have ques
tioned the outcome of the ballot
ing in Cook County, which in
cludes Chicago, during the presi
dential election Nov. 8.
Kennedy rolled up a big
enough vote in Cook County to
overcome the downstate plurality
of the Republican candidate,
Richard M. Nixon, and give the
state’s 27 electoral votes to Ken
nedy by only 8,849 votes.
On the eve of a Cook County
grand jury probe of vote fraud
charges, a member of the Chi
cago Board of Election Com
missioners reported Monday that
applications for ballots in one
precinct had vanished from a
vault in City Hall.
“The documents which appar
ently were stolen from City Hall,
were official ballot application
lists for a gravely suspect pre
cinct in Cook County,” Alcorn
said.
“The documents disappeared
from a container on which an
official seal was broken. The
documents listed the names of
those who voted in the 50th Pre
cinct of the Second Ward m
Cook County.
“This is the precinct in which
22 persons were eligible to vote
but in which 77 ballots were cast.
Of these 74 were for Sen. Ken
nedy and three for Vice Presi
dent Nixon.
“Despite this outrageous dif
ference between the number of
eligible voters and the number
of ballots cast, these returns
were certified as correct by the
Democratic-dominated Board of
Elections in Chicago.”
The Republican committee’s
general counsel said the docu
ments which were to be subpeon-
aed by the grand jury disap
peared “under the noses of Dem
ocratic officials.”
