The address in every case would

(Editors note — following is a
letter written by the three stu
dents who made the trip to Aus
tin. It is addressed to the student
body, however, opinions expressed
in the letter are those of the writ
ers and do not necessarily coincide
with the editorial opinion of The
Battalion).
To The Student Body:
On the sixth of this month Sen.
Bill Moore, ’40, of Bryan, intro
duced a bill into the Texas Sen
ate which would change the name
of our school to the Texas State
University and Agricultural and
Mechanical College. The Bill,
Senate Bill No. 302, was run
through the Senate Education
Committee which approved it and
sent it back to the Senate the
next day. This bill is now to be
voted on by the State Senate
next Monday or Tuesday, accord
ing to Moore.
ttecnnsp of flip quick action
taken on the bill, as well as the
serious consequences that will
result should it pass, we drove
to Austin Tuesday in an effort
to see Senator Moore and the co
signer of the Bill, Senator Andy
Rogers, ’46, of Childress; Sen
ator Ray Roberts, ’34, of McKin
ney; Senator A. R. Schwartz,
’47, of Galveston; and Senator
George Moffett, ’16, of Chilli-
cothe. They are all Aggies and
want only the very best for Tex
as A&M. We saw all but Senator
Moffett; in addition we talked to
several other Senators and state
representatives, as well as to
Governor Price Daniel.
Our day in Austin proved sev
eral things to us. First of all
that the name of Texas A&M
must'and will be changed; that
it must and will include the
word “university” and that the
state Senate is anxious to do
what is best for the school. For
the most part the senators have
no preconceived ideas about
what it should be changed to, ex
cept that it include the word
“university,” and are perfectly
willing to accept suggestions for
a new name from the students
(both present and former), fac
ulty, administration and interest
ed citizens. The Board of Direc
tors of the college has unani
mously recommended “Texas
A&M University;” the Acadamic

Connell of th» collet conenrml
in this recommendation by a vote
of 45 to 10. We three also favor
this name. But the outcry heard
on the campus against the name
“Texas State University and Ag
ricultural and Mechanical Col
lege” has not yet been felt in the
state Senate. And it must be
felt if we are to avoid losing
‘Texas A&M” in our name for
ever. If Senate Bill No. 302 is
passed, contrary to some beliefs,
the undergraduate school will not
be called the “Agricultural and
Mechanical College,” and the
name Texas A&M will be lost.
These senators and representa
tives want you, the student body,
to tell them by letter (telegram
and telephone what you feel
about the name change. They
want an indication of your feel
ings and are asking for it. So
regardless of whether you want
the name changed or not, or
which name you want it changed
to, tell your senator about it.
And don’t just tell him you’re
opposed to this or that; make a
suggestion.
Do it in good taste, and give
him reasons to back up your feel
ings. With all Aggies working
together on this, we’re bound to
work something out for the good
of Texas A&M.

AFTER RACIAL DISPUTE
South Africans
QuitCommonwealth
By The Associated Press
LONDON—With a stern warn
ing, South Africa decided Wednes
day night to quit the British Com
monwealth.
The rupture, threatening eco
nomic repercussions in the multi
racial group of nations, came over
South Africa’s racial segregation
policies. -
The nation’s white supremicist
prime minister, Henrik Verwoerd,
was quoted as telling a Common
wealth conference: “The proceed
ings at today’s meeting which
have obligated fne to take this
regrettable step, in my opinion,
mark the beginning of the disin
tegration of the Commonwealth.”
Blaming Asian-African members
of the Commonwealth for raising
the apartheid issue, Verwoerdi
mentioned India, Ghana, Malaya
and Ceylon.
Verwoerd took the step when
the other members insisted on
their right to denounce South Af
rica’s apartheid policy.
The decision came after three
days of argument by the 11 prime
ministers and presidents behind
locked doors.
It was a bitter blow to Britain’s
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
Aware of the consequences of
South Africa’s withdrawal, Mac
millan had toiled in and out of the
conference to get a formula ac
ceptable to everyone.
But three leaders of the oppo
sition stood firm—Prime Ministers
Nehru of India, John Diefenbaker
of Canada and Tonku Abdul Rah
man of Malaya.
Verwoerd, a mind-mannered man
of 60, made the announcement in
a quiet way and no voices were
raised from any side at the closed;
meeting.
Informants quoted Verwoerd as
saying: “This free association of
states cannot hope to survive if
instead of devoting itself to coop
eration on matters of common con
cern, Commonwealth prime min
isters are going to continue the
practice of interfering in each
other’s domestic affairs, and if
their meetings are to be made the
occasion for attacks on fellow
members.
“Such practices have lead to the
present unsatisfactory conditions
prevailing at the United Nations
and I will venture to predict, lead
to eventual disintegration of the
Commonwealth which all would
regret.
“It is clear that in the view
of a majority of Commonwealth
prime ministers—after the iPad
given by .a group of Afro-Asian
nations—South Africa will no
longer be welcome in the Common
wealth after May 31 when she be
comes a republic.
“It is ironical that allegations
of discrimination and oppression
of nonwhites in South Africa have
come from prime ministers in
whose own countries oppression
and discrimination are openly
practiced, and where basic princi
ples of democratic government are
flouted.
