‘undeniable right
Editor,
The Battalion:
There are several reasons for
the lack of response to major is
sues in the form of letters to The
Battalion or in any form. How
ever, there are only two basic
reasons.
The first of these is fear. Fear
of reprisal from the administra
tion and to a lesser degree from
their fellow students and 'faculty
members. We live in strait-jack
eted atmosphere, afraid to show
the least bit of individualism, be
cause we are reminded each day
that if we step the least bit out
of line we will have to answer
to someone. I believe this some
one was best termed as “big
brother” in ’a recent letter to
your paper from Colorado State
University.
The second of these is the “I-
don’t - give- - a - damn - it - won’t
do-any-good-anyway” attitude.
The bad thing about this is that
it is the truth. It won’t do any
good! We have yet to meet any
one who asked us our opinion
who could do anything about it.
When this condition is present,
there is no other way to show
one’s opinion than resort to stu
dent demonstrations to get our
point across. This is our school.
It belongs to us and our parents
because we paid for it. Texas
A&M does not belong to the ad
ministration. We have a right,
an undeniable right to have some
thing to say in the governing of
ourselves.
Who is going to do something
about this whole mess? We
won’t. Because We are trying to
get through four years, earn a
degree and graduate from this
school with a commission from
the U. S. Army, we must toe the
line and watch out that “big
brother” doesn’t catch us when
we are being individuals. These
are the things which discourage
us from being individuals and
writing letters like this; the
stakes are too high. We hope
that, when we leave, we will live
in a world where we and our fel
low citizens can have a voice in
the things that affect us and we
will not have to worry about los-
‘in name only’
The Battalion:
Editor,
Recently there has been much
controversy concerning the pos
sibility of Texas A&M becoming
a co-educational institution. Con
cerning this a local radio sta
tion carried a one-hour program.
I tried to imagine what my re
action to the news that Texas
A&M has become co-education
would be. I wondei’ed how I
would feel to learn that the Corps
of Cadets had been disbanded;
that Texas A&M had ceased to
exist. I was reminded of a pic
ture of a Frenchman watching
Hitler’s Legions marching down
the streets of the Paris he loved.
The grief pictured on this man’s
face is the same sort of grief
that I, and, I think, most Texas
A&M students, and thousands of
exes all over the world, would
feel when they were informed
that the school they had attended
and helped build had joined the
ranks of hundreds of others, and
become “just another co-ed col
lege.”
It is true that the world is
based on hard facts and not on
emotion, but my perhaps prej
udiced mind cannot find enough
true facts in favor of such a move
to upset the emotions of the most
insignificant man who ever called
himself an Aggie.
