“ . . . sir, what is th’ name of th’ text book that we’re supposed to have in this course.’
BATTALION EDITORIALS
A Good Wager
We’re betting that the name
of Texas A&M will be changed.
This issue has been discussed
almost incessantly on campus for
the past week. And the para
mount question, among the stu
dents, seems to be “What should
the new name be?”, rather than
“Should the name be changed?”
Still, there is a sizeable group
of students who look on the pos
sible'change with vehement dis
favor. But for the most part,
there is a general acceptance of
the reasons given by the Name-
Change Study Commission in
recommending formal considera
tion of the matter.
★ ★ ★
The basic—and perhaps only—
argument for maintaining the
current title is tradition. And
it will require more convincing
grounds than that to retain the
name of Texas A&M.
The reasoning behind changing
the name of Texas A&M is far
more advantageous than the
premise of tradition.
The study resulted in these six
conclusions:
That Texas A&M is calling it
self something it is not;
That if Texas A&M is to re
main an educational leader, it
would be beneficial to have the.
word “University” in the Col
lege’s name;
That the word “College” is
limiting and hinders the attrac-
•tion of graduate and undergrad
uate students and faculty;
That the word “College” is
detrimental to the prestige of
Texas A&M; and
That Texas A&M is running
the risk of losing a desirable
name that by modern acceptance
is identified with the Land-Grant
Complex and might find itself
in the embarrassing position of
trying to defend its entitlement
to such name in the future.
★ ★ ★
We’re also betting that, when
the name change comes, the new
name will be “Texas State Uni
versity.”
We say this because one of the
major conclusions in the prelim
inary study is that “Texas A&M
is calling itself something it is
not.” The title “Texas State Uni
versity” most nearly describes
Texas A&M: a state-supported
school that is no longer a “Col
lege,” but a “University.”
Other names also have been
suggested. Names such as
“Texas A&M University” and
“Texas University of Applied
Science.” But these suggestions
deter from the surmise of calling
ourselves something we are not.
We are not ‘Texas A&M Univer
sity,” because the words “Agri
cultural and Mechanical” are as
limiting—if not more so—than
the word “College.” In like man
ner, we are not the “Texas Uni
versity of Applied Science.”
Agreed, the name “Texas State
University” is not too appealing
right now. Agreed, it will be
difficult to discard “The Agricul
tural and Mechanical College of
Texas.” But “Texas State Uni
versity” most nearly satisfies the
requirements of a necessary
name-change.
Unless somebody can think of
of a better one. . .

INTERPRETING
Ike-JFK Meeting
Offsets Feeling
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Over and above its practical
purpose in government transition,
the meeting between President
Eisenhower and President-elect
John F. Kennedy serves to help
offset a widespread feeling
around the world that the United
States stands handcuffed in the
interim between election and in
auguration.
This feeling has been particu
larly widespread this year be
cause of the vast differences in
outlook between the old tt'ian and
Social Calendar
The following organizations
will meet on campus tonight:
The North East Texas Home
town Club will meet in Room 105
of the Academic Building at 7:30.
The Irving Hometown Club
will meet in the Main Lounge of

The Wichita Falls Hometown

The Rebel States Hometown

the new man, and a belief that
Eisenhower would wish to be par
ticularly careful to avoid em-
barassing the new administration
with interim commitments.
Taking advantage of this be
lief, the international Communists
have been unusually active.
After trying to put his finger
into the election campaign in
ways usually eschewed by inter
national politeness, Soviet Pre
mier Khrushchev tried his putsch
in the United Nations, which
failed.
Attempts have been made to
take advantage of the situation
in Southeast Asia, Africa and
throughout the Panama Canal
area.
But decisions have been made,
and the bnoad discussions of Tues
day, although details were not
made public, suggest that deci
sions will still be made, if needed
during the next few weeks.
There is no indication that Ken
nedy has been placed in the posi
tion either of approving Eisen
hower plans or of offering in
terim policy of his own.
It is presumable, however, that
Eisenhower now knows more
about Kennedy’s thinking.
The further course of transi
tion, which seems to be taking
place in an unusually cooperative
atmosphere, should place Ken
nedy in the position of starting
his term with full knowledge not
only of matters which are in
progress, but of the underlying
reasons for what has been done
or of what may have to be done
before Jan. 20.

(Editor’s Note: The following
letter refers to an incident that
took place this past weekend.
The owner of the establishment
asked that his name remain
anonymous, since he did not pre
fer to press charges against the
delinquent Texas A&M students.)
Editor,
The Battalion:
My condolences to the students
of Texas A&M who have worked
hard and conducted themselves
in such a manner as to keep the
name of our college above re
proach.
Why?
Because a small group of
“spirited young men” took full
advantage of their free time over
the past weekend to help erase
your efforts and present Texas
A&M with another black-eye.
Approximately ten Texas A&M
students, acting like a group of
drunken juvenile delinquents,
wrecked the facilities of an es
tablishment in College Station.
Not being satisfied with this, 1
they proceeded to test the sharp
ness of their knives on the seat
cushions—and did an exceptional
job of it.
Little wonder Texas A&M stu
dents are frequently referred to
as “animals.” How can a group
of supposedly mature young men
sink to such a level?
I wonder if they fully realize
the consequences to themselves
that such actions can bring. I
wonder if they realize how much
harm they are doing to their
College and their class mates.
\ College regulations state:
“Students shall be responsible

That statement in itself is
quite plain and for that reason
I would like to refer that small
group of students to it. Maybe
it will make them think twice
before they commit any more
such delinquent acts.
To that small group of stu
dents, I can only say that if you
are not concerned with your
selves, then at least consider your
class mates and Texas A&M.
