Culture Program Gives
School Big Opportunity
It seems quite ironic that culture should be in campus
headlines after the Time magazine “expose,” but that’s
much the case.
The Memorial Student Center Council introduced two
planned programs Monday night that appear unbeatable
for providing students with some of the top culture in Hous
ton and the U. S-
Under the first plan, still not definitely formulated,
small groups of students would spend 48 hours in Houston
viewing the Houston symphony orchestra, Alley Theater,
Museum of Fine Arts, World Trade Center, Port of Houston
and headquarters of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
In addition, the council added another culture plus—a
trial run with the National Cultural Network.
The NCN provides closed-circuit television of the Metro
politan Opera, renditions by professional Thespians and
works by famous authors and poets.
An initial group of 20 is tentatively set to leave here
Oct. 28 for the first 48-hour culture tour in Houston. Funds
for the trip will come from a $10 per student registration
fee and sponsorships from interested businessmen.
Quick mathematical manipulations will show that each
student will easily get $50 in return for his investment—who
could ask more?
The National Cultural Network would involve an ever
smaller investment—only $2 per student under the plait
requiring a year’s contract.
And the trial run would involve no risk for the college
since no guarantee is required.
All that is needed to provide annual programs of this
type is a genuine interest among the students—not just the
faculty and some Bryan-College Station citizens, with a
handful of students thrown in for good measure.
Opportunities like these won’t pop up every day.

IPs Just Too Late Now-
All that can really be said has probably been repeated
hundreds of times over coffee, in dormitory rooms and count
less other places—and there just isn’t much else that can
be done. -
This week’s Time magazine article was both an unfortu
nate incident and a clever journalistic trick—many others can
probably attest to its effectiveness.
The secret now is not to fall into another trap—the
magazine’s letters to the editor column.
It’s no secret that many letters are being prepared and
some have already been mailed by irrate students and other
persons.
Also it’s no secret that the magazine’s editors will most
likely look carefully for angry letters that would best illus
trate some of the “facts” brought to light in the article. And
after hearing some of the informal talk among groups of
students, such letters as these could possibly turn up.
The real test of a man always come when he’s down—
such is the case here at present and now is the time for deep
thought before scribbling an irrate letter than could come
back to haunt the writer, his school and the entire state-
