Galveston’s
Open Beach
Case Ending
GALVESTON 69?)—Texas’ op
en, beach case went to a district
court jury Thursday after Atty.
Gen. Will Wilson summed up his
case by saying free access to the
Gulf of Mexico is one of the last
heritages of the frontier.
Wilson filed the case against
Seaway Co. last yeaf in an at
tempt to open Galveston’s west
beach to the public. The real
estate development company put
a barricade across the beach in
1959. Individuals are allowed to
cross the barricade but cars are
prohibited.
The state contended that the
public had the right to travel
along the beach front because the
beaches have been open since
Texas was a republic. The de
fense said it had the right to
fence off the beach because it
was private property.
Albert J. De Lange, attorney
for the Seaway Co., said in his
final statement to a jury of 10
men and two women, that the
barricade across the beach was
legal because use of the beach
by the public does not mean the
public owns it.

They were Richard Hale, Charles
Babcock, Kenneth Boyd and Da
vid Kokernot . . . accompanying
them was R. M. Brown, head of
the Vocational Agriculture De
partment . . . Babcock wrote his
impressions and here they are
(at the risk of shocking some
non-Texas A&M fans):
“I have read and heard about
A&M College for many years
... I have dreamed about what
it would be like there . . . Just
a few days ago I got my chance
to see for myself ... I must
say that anyone who has never
been there cannot possibly visual
ize the impression that it made
on me . . . The main points
brought forward were its tre
mendous size, its beauty, its fa
cilities and its friendly atmos
phere . . .
“When my friends and I ar
rived at the college were were
directed by friendly students to
the place for registration. My
friends and I were greeted by
these men of A&M with a tra
ditional “howdy” . . . These
were people whom we had never
seen before in our lives; but
despite this fact, they made us
feel welcome and they seemed to
truly enjoy this gesture of
friendliness . . . They smiled as
they did this; it was a warm
smile seeming to say ‘Welcome
to our school, we are pleased to
meet you . . .’
“We were escorted to our
dormitory by a student . . .
When we arrived there we were
received by handshakes from the
students. We were assigned to
room with a student. A military
way of life is the A&M way of
life. We were awakened in a
rather spectacular way. It was
a thrilling experience that we
took part in^ that morning.
“We were guests of honor at a
program the Aggies had set up
for us. A tour of the college
was presented to us on a film
strip. Lectures, tours, and dem
onstrations came later in each
respective phase of education
. . . The next and most inter
esting event was chow in the
mess hall . . . The most diffi
cult thing was leaving . . .”
It seems that Texas A&M af
fects many of its students and
prospective students this way as
there is an old saying something
like this: “Once an Aggie, al
ways an Aggie.”

Editor,
The Battalion:
This letter concerns Young
Americans for Freedom. YAF
is. a national conservative youth
organization for college and
young professional people. It
was formed Sept. 11, 1960, at a
national conference of conserva
tive student and youth leaders
held in Sharon, Conn. This or
ganization has 25,000 members
on college campuses throughout
the nation.
We feel that the need for an
organization on this campus
which is non-partisan, conserva
tive and dedicated to the belief
that Communism must be con
fronted with an opposing ideol
ogy based on the fundamentals
of Americanism does exist. The
college students, who are the fu
ture leaders of America, should
begin now to gain the knowledge
necessary to guide the nation
through a time of peril. Young
Americans For Freedom provides
the answer!
At the national conference held
at Sharon, Conn., the directors
of YAF adopted the following
statement which outlines the be
liefs and purposes of Young
Americans For Freedom.
The Sharon Statement
In this time of moral and po
litical crisis, it is the responsi
bility of the youth of America
to affirm certain eternal truths.
We, as young conservatives
believe:
That foremost among the
transcendent values is the indi
vidual’s use of his God-given free
will, whence derives his right
to be from restrictions of arbi
trary force;
That liberty is indivisible, and
that political freedom cannot long
exist without economic freedom;
That the purposes of govern
ment are to protect these free
doms through the preservation of
internal order, the provision of
national defense, and the admin
istration of justice;
That when the government
ventures beyond these rightful
functions, it accumulates power
which tends to diminish order
and liberty;

A
INSURANCI
That the Constitution of the
United States is the best ar
rangement yet devised for em
powering government to fulfill
its proper role, while restraining
it from concentration and abuse
of power;
That the genius of the Consti
tution—the division of powers—
is summed up in the clause which
reserves primacy to the s'everal
states or to the people, in those
spheres not specifically delegated
to the Federal Government;
That the market economy, al
locating resources by the free
play of supply and demand, is
the single economic system com
patible with the requirements of
personal freedom and constitu
tional government, and that it
is at the same time the mo^t
productive supplier of human
needs;
That when government inter
feres with the market economy,
it ends to reduce the moral and
physical strength of the nation;
that when it takes from one man
to bestow on another, it dimin
ishes the incentive of the first,
the integrity of the second, and
the moral autonomy of both;
That we will be free only so
long as the national sovereignty
of the United States is secure;
that history shows periods of
freedom are rare and can exist
only when free citizens concert-
edly defend their rights against
all enemies;
That the forces of international
Communism are, at present, the
single greatest threat to these
liberties;
That the United States should
stress victory over, rather than
coexistence with, this menace:
and
That American foreign policy
must be judged by this criterion;
does it serve the just interests
of the United States ?
