In addition to creating the expected controversy across
the campus, the desirability of changing the name of Texas
A&.M has brought out another factor.
Numerous Texas A&M students have approached the
matter with a biased or prejudiced opinion. Their minds were
made up as to what action should be taken while the issue
was still rumor. Now that the adviseability of changing the
name of Texas A&M is actually under study, students are
voicing their opinions without knowing why.
This situation is analagous to the “Get Out the Vote
Campaigns” in the recent presidential elections. American
citizens were urged to “Vote As You Please, But Vote.” There
was no encouragement for the voters to become acquainted
with the issues; to make intelligent interpretations; and then
to come to a conclusion.
This fallacy is also prevelant in the name-changing mat
ter. Some students have vented an opinion—one way or the
other—without really knowing the reasons for and against
changing the name.
True, each student is entitled to his own reaction and
decision in the issue. But there is no basis to include unre
lated possibilities with the matter. Some students have gone ri\Tm?n no i?rrrT\Tr>
so far as to say that a name change is conducive to coeduca- 1 Ll\.JrKL 1IJAC
tion, to integration and to the personal gain of certain

factions on the campus.
No mention of this has been made at all in the prelimi
nary studies. Moreover, the matter, in its final stages, has
virtually no connection with the Texas A&M campus. The
final decision will rest with the Texas A&M College System
Board of Directors and with the Texas State Legislature
The reasons given in the preliminary study recommen
dation are:
© That Texas A&M is calling itself something it actually
is not. It is a “University,” by definition.
• That if Texas A&M is to maintain its present position
in educational leadership, it would be beneficial to have the
name “University” in the College’s name.
® That the word “College” is limiting and hinders the
attraction of graduate and undergraduate students and fac
ulty.
• That the word “College” is detrimental to the prestige
of Texas A&M.
• That Texas A&M is running the risk of losing a desir
able name that by modern acceptance is identified with the
Land-Grant Complex and might find itself in the embarrass
ing position of trying to defend its entitlement to such name
in the future.
From across the campus, these reasons have been noted
for maintaining the same name:

© That changing the name will necessitate the alteration
—^ind even the abandonment—of some school songs and
yells.
© That in calling ourselves the “Agricultural and Me
chanical College of Texas” we are calling ourselves exactly
what we are.
• That it would disassociate the public with Texas A&M,
at least for a brief period of time, until the new name became
well-known state and nationwide.
Texas A&M students and faculty will have a firm voice
in the matter with three student leaders, faculty representa
tives from each of the four schools on the campus and a col-
lege-at-large representative making a recommendation to the
College Executive Committee.
★ ★ ★
The Executive Committee will then act on the matter and
Jeccommended to the System Board of Directors through the
Chancellor. From there, if the name-change is deemed desire-
able, it will be submitted to the Texas State Legislature for
approval or disapproval.
★ ★ ★
That, in essence, is where the name-change issue stands
at present. The next move will be made by the Committee
mentioned above, which will act through the College Execu
tive Committee.
Before you come to a biased, prejudiced opinion on the
matter—whether you lean one w r ay or the other—become
familiar with the issue An intelligent decision is of more
value than one in ignorance.

Jammed UN Calendar
Tip-Off On Nikky Motive
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The jammed condition of the
United Nations 1960 calendar con
tains a tip-off on Soviet Premier
Krushchev’s motive in insisting
on a special session on disarma
ment.
He wants to keep on advocating
disarmament in general as a
propaganda stunt, while avoiding
any action in particular.
The heavy increase in U.N.
membership this year, plus the
emergence of issues about which
everybody wants to talk, has just
about handcuffed the General As
sembly. It has managed to reach
a vote on a few immediate prob
lems. But with its normal ad
journment date almost at hand, it ;
still faces months of activity
which will require a post-jioliday
session in 1961. ■
On the colonial issue alone
there are 63 scheduled addresses,
any or all of which could involve
the right to answer.
A session on disarmament,
especially if attended by chiefs of
state as Khrushchev suggests,
each jealous of prerogatives, each
speaking on each of the innumer
able points which would arise,
with rebuttal piled upon rebuttal,
would approach perpetual motion.
And Khrushchev knows it.
His desire to keep the United
Nations from doing anything al
ready had been demonstrated by
his campaign against its one
mechanism for implementation of
decisions—the office of the secre
tary-general.
As it is, either the delegates
are j^oing- to have to discipline
thtmiselves, or the orgahiZ'afibn is

going to have to revise its ma
chinery if the General Assembly
and the Political Committee a
committee of the whole are to
keep their calendars workable.
Not enough delegations are
willing to let designated spokes
men present the positions of
large groups which are in agree
ment. Instead, there is iteration
and reiteration to infinity.
