College Station, Texas

BATTALION EDITORIALS
A Re facing Needed
Now that the long-needed arrangements providing for
an underpass at the roller coaster-like crossing at Sulphur
Springs Road and the railroad tracks are virtually a reality,
the pressure is mounting for improving the appearance of
what has been termed—in a previous Battalion editorial—
Texas A&M’s “back door.”
As of this date, no specific reaction has occurred to
formulate any plan to improve the situation that now exists
at North Gate. By way of repetition, there presently is not
a sign or device to signify that a turn in the direction of
the Post Office at Houston Street places a person at the sec
ond most frequently used entry to the campus.
(It would be interesting if someone could make a survey
of the high school students on the campus for High School
Day that came from the southwest via Sulphur Springs
Road, either over the railroad tracks, or by turning off High
way 6 before they got to the main entrance. The object of
the survey would be to find out how many of that group of
high schoolers missed turning at Houston street at least
once before finding their way onto the campus. The North
Gate entrance is quite misleading).
Since nobody has yet picked up the ball initiating at
least some basic formative planning on improving North
Gate, perhaps the Class of ’61 might give some serious
thought to adopting such a project for the senior class gift.
New Deadline For Student
Campaign Statements
Deadline for campaign state
ments by student class candidates
has been changed to 5 p.m., Mar.
29, the day the spring recess be
gins.
The alteration was necessitated
by the change in the election
date, as it was previously dock
eted on the College Calendar.
Statements are to be turned in
to the Department of Student
Publications, and no statements
will be accepted after the dead
line. The statements will appear
in The Battalion Apr. 5, the day
before the class elections.
Requirements are that the
statements be held to 50-75
words; any over this length will
not be printed. Student candi
dates are by no means required
to submit a statement to The
Battalion if they do not desire to
do so.
i Statements will appear in al
phabetical order by classes.

We are not by .any means attempting to dictate where
the imprbvements come from: whether it be from the for
mer students, the student body, or the College itself, along
with some aid from the citizens of College Station who have
establishments located across from the campus.
Regardless of who “picks up the ball,” the entire North
Gate area is in dire need of a complete refacing.

this name change. You can go
into any dorm, or classroom and
hear pros and cons at any hour
of the day or night. But when
reading The Battalion none of
these are ever heard for the
simple fact that we are too com
placent to really get into this
battle regardless of which side
we may be on, and stand up for
what we think is right. There
has been much criticism of the
Amei’ican people about the small
majority that exercises their
American heritage to vote, and
the students of Texas A&M seem
to be following this example by
standing idly by while something
as vital as a name change takes
place. We, as college students,
are supposed to have broad, im
aginative and creative minds;
yet we are unable to drum up
enough imagination and crea
tiveness to even offer our sen
ators some concrete and worth
while names for our college. I
say it is time to get up and say
what we think of this name
change and use the knowledge
and abilities gained at Texas
A&M to promote the name we
feel that is best. Above all the
most important thing is to let
the positions of the student body
be known publicly and emphat
ically known.
Glyen Lemmon, ’63
Name-Change Vote
Should the purpose of this col
lege dictate the name for it, or
should some smaller group of the
college, the Arts and Sciences,
dictate a name-change? The
truth is that the schools of Ag.
riculture and Engineering com
pose roughly 60-65 per cent of
the enrollment, and this is more
than the required ”51 per cent
holding interest.”
Editor,
The Battalion:
The Mar. 10 issue of The Bat
talion caught my attention with
the editorial dealing with Senate
Bill 302, the name-change bill
for Texas A&M. The Battalion
said “None of the senators know
a lot about the bill.” It further
stated that one of the senators,
Senator Moffett is “in favor of
some full, free, open discussion,”
then deciding- what to do. It
also stated that some colleges
some time ago left the word
“teachers” out of their name and
now they want to be universities.
It appears to be the vogue.
Being a small voice in a large
college, the time short, and the
senators still needed to be in-
formed, I ask: why doesn't The
Battalion make the necessary ar
rangements to have the voting
machines out and let the stu
dents decide for themselves what
they want for their college and
then present these results to the
senators as a manifestation.
The right to vote is the un-
spoken and timid man’s most
powerful weapon in a democracy,
Our right to vote is a cherished
privilege and one should exer
cise this privilege.
Miguel P. Garcia, ’61
