Come and see for yourself . . . that’s what we have to
Say to all the skeptics or the uninformed.
“Operation Abolition” is a documentary film. It was
prepared by the House Un-American Activities Committee
from newsreel shots taken during the student riots in San
Francisco last May.
The Texas A&M Chapter of the American Ordnance As
sociation is presenting the film here Friday night. It is to
be shown at 7:30 p. m. in the lecture room of the Biological
Science Building.
There are some in our society, who, for some reason or
another, want to see “Operation Abolition” discredited and
left by the wayside. Before you are swayed by their sweet
talk, ask yourself why.
One thing cannot be denied by those who seek to destroy
the film: the riots did occur, and they were Communist in
spired and led.
“Operation Abolition” gets its name from the current
all-out bffort by the Communists to destroy the United
States’ most feared anti-Red weapon— the HUAC.
So here is a recommendation—come and see for yourself.
The HUAC and the AOA are not trying to swindle anyone.
They are just presenting the truth: the story of riots
that couldn’t happen, but did.
(Editor’s note: The following
letter was written to Marc Powe,
senior from Wichita Falls, by
Hob Glaves, sports writer for
The Dallas Morning News. Powe
had written Glaves, criticizing
his account in The News of the
Texas A&M-Southern Methodist
basketball game Feb. 4. This is
the reply Glaves sent to Powe.
The Dallas News sports writer
had also received critical letters
from approximately seven other
Texas A&M students.)
Editor,
The Battalion:
Since my story of the" Texas
A&M-Southern Methodist bas
ketball game of Feb. 4 appeared
in The News, I have received ten
letters, seven of which were crit
ical. Each was either from a
Texas A&M student or from a
former Texas A&M student. Of
the seven, only yours was writ
ten intelligently and without in
vective. Thus I shall attempt to
answer it alone.
. The task of a sportswriter, if
he is to be a good one, is singu
lar, yet totally comprehensive:
it is to tell WHAT happened.
To do this, he must be objective
and honest and he must write
the facts as he sees the facts.
Or, if you prefer, he must adhere
to the truth and discard embel
lishment, and the truth can hurt
and it can sting.
Because of this, a good sports-
writer makes enemies, not
friends, and he accepts it, though
he does not enjoy it. He makes
enemies because when the public
reads what it WANTS to read,
all is serene, but when it reads
what it does NOT want to read,
there is vehemence.
For instance, I covered the
Texas A&M-Rice football game
last fall in Houston. Texas A&M,
despite defeat, gave a remark
able performance. By writing
the facts, the story flattered
Texas A&M. Yet, I received no
letter from you complimenting
me. In an earlier basketball
game this season, I "mentioned in
a story that SMU’s Steve
Strange and a Baylor player got
into a scuffle, but I received no
letter from you informing me
that this was not proper.
When I cover any athletic con
test I remain objective. My cur
rent assignment has carried me
with SMU throughout the basket
ball season, but I defy anyone to
show me a single sentence of
prejudice. When SMU has
played poorly, win or lose, I have
said so. In the A&M game, the
result was explicit. It says,
among other things, that with
eight minutes left, Texas A&M
had won it.
I am not anti-Texas A&M or
anti-Carroll Broussard. I admire
coach Bob Rodgers, but I am
only an acquaintance. Privately,
I have told him that I hoped he’d
win the championship. I think
he deserves it, and I think he
is a fine coach. In the confer
ence basketball tournament at
Houston a year ago, I led the
campaign in the press box to
have Carroll Broussard named
the tournament’s outstanding
player. If he continues to excel,
and I believe him to be one of
the three best in the conference,
I will name him to the confer
ence team.
In the Texas A&M-SMU bas
ketball game, there were two in
cidents that deserved mention.
There WAS profanity, including
four letter profanity, hurled at
coach Doc Hayes and the SMU
players. No one told me. I
heard it. 1 do not believe that
any coach—Bob Rodgers, Doc
Hayes, or Joe Blow—should be
subjected to such abuse. Also
Carroll Broussard DID swing,
and scuffle v with Steve Jordan.
I pictured it; I took no sides.
Undoubtedly, Carroll Broussard
had his reason, if that reason
simply be that he just lost his
temper. Is it not a fact that he
lost his temper, regardless of
what prompted him? The story
says. . .“in a fit of temper. . .”
I am not adverse to a fighting
spirit, either in the crowd or on
the floor. 1 have four basketball
letters myself, and I admire and
respect such an exhibition of
spirit. The support that Texas
A&M shows its teams IS part
of the game and long may it be
so.
Thus, the editorial in The Bat
talion is incorrect for one of its
assumptions is that Texas A&M
has been criticized for it spirited
support. The News’ story under
my by-line most certainly did
NOT criticize this overall sup
port; it mentioned without com
ment ONLY the incident of pro
fanity and attributed this to the
group directly behind the bench.
Certainly, profanity—publicly—
is not a part of the game. I am
no prude, but there is a time and
there is a place for everything.
The radio announcer sitting next
to the SMU bench will attest to
this, for he spent the evening by
either drowning the profanity
with his own voice or with cup
ped hands.
You mentioned the tossing of
coins and paper cups on to the
floor at other coliseums. I do
not condone this, but it is not
abusive in nature nor immoral
in intent.
talion as an answer to the editor
ial, your assistance would be ap
preciated. I say this because the
editorial berated The News, and
I don’t believe that The News is
open to attack.
I hope that you shall continue
to read it, and I hope in some
minute way ' you better under
stand and appreciate, the inher
ent problems of a sportswriter.
Sincerely,
Bob Glaves
