Page 2 THE BATTALIOtn College Station, Texas Thursday, May 3, 1962 | BATTALION EDITORIALS Upcoming Opinion Poll Puts Students In Picture Interest in A&M student government, which has definite ly been on the up-swing during the school year, took an even greater turn for the better Wednesday when it was an nounced that an informal student opinion poll will be taken involving three most pertinent student questions. The questions, to no one’s surprise, involve the possibility of changing the name of A&M to incorporate the word “uni versity,” admitting coeds to the college and making the Corps of Cadets non-compulsory for a student’s initial two years. Doubtless, these questions are high on the priority list of possible changes being considered by the A&.M Century Council, which is presently studying possible ways to improve the school in the next 15 years. An unprepared release that circulated throughout the state a couple of months ago revealed that coeds and the Corps question were definitely being considered. According to the report, the internal study group of the Century Study has submitted a proposal to admit women to the college and make the Coit>s non-compulsory. Since this report was only one of many that will make up the final Century Study report, the issue or issues is far from solved. And now the student body, which at several times dur ing the year has expressed a desire to voice its opinion on the issues, will gets its chance. It goes without saying that serious consideration went into the decision to conduct the student opinion poll. In a like manner, serious consideration can be expected of every student who enters a voting machine to submit his vote. This poll is definitely no place for emotion to override judgment. The not-so-distant future of one of the most well known colleges in the United States will be greatly determined by the results of this poll. Death Of L. A. Due wall Deep Shock For Battalion It was both deeply shocking and saddening Wednesday night to learn of the passing of L. A. Duewall, director of college information and student publications since the fall of 1958. In his official capacity, Mr. Duewall was official advisor for The Battalion and deeply appreciated for his work and efforts toward making The Battalion the best publication possible. On many campuses, student editors complain constantly about administration censorship of publications, but such was not the case with Mr. Duewall and his relationship to- wai'd The Battalion. He was always available for consultation and offered an eager ear to students and their many troubles. But in no instance did he ever “censor” an article from the columns of The Battalion. Mr. Duewall joined the staff of the college after an im pressive career in the weekly newspaper field throughout Texas. His last position before assuming the A&M post was editor and publisher of The La Grange Journal. Before then he was advertising manager of The Taylor Daily Press, a graduate of the University of Texas School of Journalism and a Marine Corps officer during World War II. He was also active in local civic, church and fraternaj affairs. Even though Mr. Duewall is gone, and at a very early age, he has left a definite impression with the college and will be a hard man to replace. Your Vote and Influence Appreciated RE-ELECT B. H.
