THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Friday, March 3, 1961
CADET SLOUCH

BATTALION EDITORIALS
An Invitation
High School Career Day has been set for March 18 this
year. This marks the thirteenth year that the College has
sponsored this program, and each year college officials have
tried to improve tne activities.
This year is no exception. The dorms will be open to
high school students both Friday and Saturday nights, Mar.
17 and 18, at no expense to the students. Visiting students
will also be able to eat in the dining halls for nominal costs.
Discussions with college students concerning college life will
be held to give visitors the students’ viewpoint.
Other features of the weekend include a film about
life at Aggieland, “We are the Aggies,” an intrasquad foot
ball game, and a three-way track meet between LSU, Rice,
and A&M. Talks are scheduled to be held in Guion Hall and
conducted tours of college facilities will be arranged accord
ing to fields of interest. Agriculture, arts and sciences, en
gineering, veterinary medicine, and general interest tours will
be held.
With such a program planned High School Day should
be a success, and as far as the program itself goes, it prob
ably will be. But to be successful, and do the job it is sup
posed to do, HS Day must have a substantial number of high
school students taking part in the activities.
One way to assure ample participation is for the stu
dents at Texas A&M to invite high school seniors to come
find out for themselves what Texas A&M has to offer. Many
high school seniors are undecided about which college to at
tend, or what they are looking for in a college. If they could
spend a weekend at Aggieland, the odds are that they would
decide that Texas A&M is the place for them.
High School Career Day offers these prospective stu
dents a chance to view college life firsthand, a chance to
hear and see for themselves what college is really like.
A&M students can make the event a success by merely
inviting students of their high schools to visit Aggieland
and take advantage of the program being held for them.
An invitation to a high school student could help both
the student and the College.
Why not invite someone?
. . You must be mistaken, Sir — There’s been no water
fight around here!”

Editor,
The Battalion:
For the first time in the 60
years of my existence I feel that
I must publicly oppose a group
of my colleagues. I refer to the
letter in The Battalion concern
ing the film, “Operation Aboli
tion.” I have seen the film and
have read the newspaper ac
counts of the riots in San Fran
cisco. I personally feel that the
HUAC may be a publicity seek
ing committee, and may even be
high handed in its procedures,
but certainly it is a legal entity,
duly and properly appointed by
our elected representatives. If
we disapprove of the committee
we have legal means of abolish
ing it; however, we never have
the right to abolish such a com
mittee by mob action such as
occurred in San Francisco.
Social Calendar
The Industrial Education Wives
Club will meet at 7:30 p. m. Mon
day in Room 107, Industrial Ed
ucation Building. Mr. L. B. Har
deman will conduct a tour of the
shops.
The Arts and Handicraft Group
of the A&M Social Club will
meet Tuesday at 9:30 a. m. in
the home of Mrs. T. W. Burns
1009 Walton Dr., College Station.
Actually, there is little doubt
that the riots in San Francisco
were instigated and led by well
known communists such as Har
ry Bridges, Brown, et al. These
men and their dupes broke up
the hearings of the Un-American
Activities Committee and became
so noisy and unruly that the city
courts in the City Hall were dis
rupted.
When the existence of this
country and all other democratic
countries is seriously threatened
by lies and by insidious propa
ganda of the communists, it
seems to me that my colleagues
have picked a poor time and a
poor incident over which to exer
cise their academic freedom in
attacking the showing of the
film, “Operation Abolition.”
to anyone requesting a copy. I
know this to be a fact for I called
the Houston office of the FBI
and secured the last one of their
700 copies.
I certainly cannot speak for the
A&M faculty, but I believe that
the opinions expressed by the
writers of the letter published on
Feb. 22 are not concurred in by
the great majority of the A&M
faculty.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Needless to say the letter con
cerning the film “Operation
Abolition” has aroused consider
able. opposition, myself included.
However, after hearing Mr. T.
C. Whitmore (Department of
Physics) present the case for the
authors at a showing of “Opera
tion Abolition” Sunday night, I
do not believe there is any basic
disagreement between the two
parties. Rather, I believe the
original letter failed to make its
primary point. Too much dis
cussion was devoted to the film
itself, which, after all, was only
incidental to the case in ques
tion., The authors would do well
to restate their case without ref
erence to the film.
Although I heartily agree with
the ideas of liberalism in edu
cation, certainly we can find a
better starting point than ques
tioning the film “Operation
Abolition.” An avowed objective
of the Communist Party is the
discreditation of this film.
No matter how much you care
to question and search for the
truth, I see no reason that a
pro-American film ever need be
presented with apologies o f
branded “questionable.”

Peace Corps
Response Good
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It sounded
like a cracked record—“Write
Peace Corps, Washington 25,
D.C.”
That was the refrain into tele
phones ringing constantly Thurs
day at the headquarters of the
new Peace Corps launched by
President Kennedy.
Response to the idea has been
overwhelming, said Edwin Bay-
ley, temporary public relations
director at a headquarters that
was set up about three weeks
ago.
“That was a young married
couple in Los Angeles,” said
Mitzi Mallina, hanging up the
telephone. “A lot of the requests
have come in from young mar
ried couples.”
The idea of sending Americans
overseas on a voluntary basis to
help foreign countries meet needs
for skilled manpower has brought
in about 6,000 letters since Ken
nedy first mentioned it in his
election campaign last year.
“They’re enthusiastic, say it’s
wonderful, and they’re excited
about it,” said Sally Bowles, who
has been helping read letters,
acknowledge and answer them
for about three weeks.
Kennedy, who hopes to have
the first 1,000 corps workers
overseas by the end of the year,
has said they will serve on a
two- or three-year basis under
conditions of physical hardship
and be given a living allowance,
but no salary.
Application blanks won’t be
ready for about 30 days.
Headquarters asks that letter
writers put on the envelope whe
ther they want information or
an application blank.
