SWC Politics?
Just what benefits, if any, will the students of Texas
A&M enjoy as members of the newly organized Southwest
Conference Student Association?
On first glance it would appear that the idea for such
an association of student leaders was conceived as a lever
to promote integrated intercollegiate athletic teams among
the conference schools. Surely this was the first item of
business of the infant organization last January in Dallas.
(The fact that a constitution for the SWC Association had
not then been adopted, and the student body presidents
signing the resolution calling for integrated sports were
acting “on their own” is not importont. It was the embyro
organization that drew up the document).
Surely this and other major questions will arise from
time to time in the future as they have in the past. The
Association will provide, for the first time, a permanent or
ganization of school body presidents to discuss mutual prob
lems and perhaps find common solutions.
Now a constitution has been adopted (A&M did not have
a voting representative at the Feb. 17 Fort Worth meeting
at which the proposed constitution was put in its final form)
and only needs to be ratified by six of the eight schools in
the conference to become effective. The Student Senate will
vote on ratification Thursday.
The SWC Association can become an effective force in
Southwest Conference student life. Its actions in the next
few months will determine the strength of its effectiveness.
We look forward to the spring semester meeting of the
Southwest Conference Student Association with cautious
anticipation.

Drill Field Path
Editor,
The Battalion:
To those of us in Law Hall af
flicted with the caffeine or TV
bug, the shortest route to the
Memorial Student Center is the
one we take. Day by day the
evidence of our sickness becomes
engraved in the drill field which
separates us from our soma.
The time has come for us all
to take our separate paths, lest
the powers that be use their au
thority to restrict us. Perhaps
the longer walk would be invig
orating and certainly make the
savoring all the sweeter.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I gather that taking part in
controversial subjects is not ex
actly the order of the day around
here right now. Even so, I must
take issue with the letter of last
week condemning Building and
Grounds for their work in land
scaping the campus.
I cannot answer for shrubs cut
from behind buildings and some
other specific charges of deface
ment made. But for that part of
the campus I see most—east gate
to the Academic Building—I

think that Building and Utilities
has done a most commendable
job. From the highway to the
System Building is now a beau
tiful drive. I await with eager
ness each change of flowers in
the long bed created a few years
ago. And I enjoy to the fullest
the beautiful flowers when they
are there. At present it’s red
tulips. They’re worth going to
see.
As for ruining the so-called
“park” between the Academic
Building and Cushing Library, I
for one disagree that it ever
looked like a park. Some sort
of “pens” would be a more apt
name. True, the yaupons were
fine specimens, but they did no
thing for the area they occupied.
There are excellent trees in that
area. With only trees and grass
we now have something of vista
in which the trees show their
beauty. (Aesthetics aside, I
found the yaupons a decided
traffic hazard.)
In case Mr. Newett is inter
ested, the yaupons, one and all,
have a much better new home.
They’re probably as happy as I
am with the change. He should
come down Highway 6 and see
them making a background for
the flood-lighted A&M signs.
They look most contented.
Summer Jobs
Phillips Petroleum Co. will in
terview seniors and graduate
students majoring in chemical,
electrical and mechanical engi
neering, chemistry and physics
Wednesday for summer jobs.
Then there are the great num
ber of variety of trees being
planted on the golf course. One
could go on and on. But perhaps
this is enough to let Building
and Utilities know that some of
us think they are doing a superb
job of making our campus a thing
of beauty.
