Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
In the Mar. 10 editorial, you
have written that it is difficult
to accept that the “student body
and the exes will choose to be
silent” during the passage of the
name change bill for A&M. Also
you have said that “suggestions
and desires of the students hav6
been visibly lacking.” We have
been accused of having no posi
tive solution for the new name
of our institution. All of this
may be true, but I hope that I
can offer something positive for
each of us to consider.
I think we should be interested
enough in the problem to give
it some time and thought. Re
gardless of what Sen. Moore says,
this is also our school, and I am
personally proud of it. We
should not merely limit ourselves
to negative action, but we should
offer positive suggestions to the
Senators. Sen. Schwartz has
said, “We would be glad to have
a resolution from the student
body with any suggestions for
a name they might have.”
Although I am proud of the
name of A&M, I would like to
make my own personal sugges
tion, for what it is worth. I
think we should seriously con
sider adopting the name “Texas
State University.” I have a
number of reasons why I have
reached this conclusion, but I
will list only a few.
First, I think most of us have
finally agreed that it will be in
the best interest of our school
to include the word “university”
in its name. Next, we have the
precedent that practically all the
other land grant institutions in
the U.S. have become “state uni
versities.” Also, we are remind
ed that if we fail to accept this
name, Texas Tech may receive it.
Another point of friction about
the name change is the possible
change in the Senior Ring, which
I am sure no one wants. If we
call the undergraduate part of
our school the “Agricultural &
Mechanical College,” as the Sen
ate bill provides, the ring would
not need to be changed.
All these are incidental rea
sons why I have arrived at my
conclusion, but it is not the main
reason. I feel that no matter
what our school is called, we will
all still be Tex^ Aggies. Our
school will not lower its stand
ards of producing the fine qual
ity of young men which it now
does. If anything, it would raise
the standards.
Now. I realize what I have
said is controversial and that
there are certainly two sides to
this argument. If someone has
a more plausible solution, I cer
tainly wish that they would put
it in The Battalibn for everyone
to consider. But unless someone
else comes up with a better solu
tion to this name change prob
lem, I will support Senate Bill
302.
