PALTO ALTO, Calif. — Once
quiet college campuses, like their
surrounding society, are becoming
centers of intense emotional stress
d pressure, acording to John D.
'lack, director of Stanford’s coun
ting and testing center.
“For the student, the pressure to
Achieve intellectually is the cul
mination of the stress he has been
under since elementary school days
roon: to obtain admission,” said Black,

ing professor of psychology. “For
vast numbers (e.g., over 85 per
rent of our male students), the

H problem is not simply to obtain an
|.B. but to qualify for graduate or
professional school.
Jl “TO QUIT school, or to flunk
out are no longer reasonable op

us were in college: they are as un-
cceptable as a dishonorable dis-

I Twenty years ago, those who
cared studied, and got good grades;
those who didn’t played. Today,
or tomorrow, everybody cares,
everybody studies, but the old grad
ing curve hasn’t changed much.
ie first, The result can only be more in
tense, self-serving competition and
more temptation to succeed by hook
or crook, more hostility and anxie
ty.
“For the faculty, the pressures
are equally great. They are faced
with more and brighter students.
Up to a point, brighter students
are a blessing; beyond that point,
they can be a challenge and a
threat.
“In our universities, faculties are
under great compulsion to do re
search and to publish. More and
more administrative work is re

Swimmers Lose
To Steers, 64-30
The Aggie swimming team
dropped its second straight dual
meet outing to the Texas swim
mers in Austin’s Gregory Gym,
64-30, Saturday night.
The Steers won eight of 11 first
places, making it a pretty dismal
night for the visitors.
Aggie freestyle man Bob Baker
tied a 1951 NCAA meet record of
22.5 in winning the 50-yard free
style. His was among five record-
breaking or record - matching ef
forts in the meet.
contracts, supervising graduate
programs; for many men of schol
arly temperament, administrative
work is unusually stressful.
One of our deans commented last
week that the average assistant
professor today does more admini
stration than the average depart
ment head did twenty years ago.
By and large he does not enjoy
it and it reduces his resources for
teaching and advising.
“THE APPALLING problems of
those charged with managing col
lege plants, budgets, fund raising,
faculty recruitment and the like
are too obvious to require elab
oration. What is important is
that the more harried the faculty
and administration, the more seri
ous and concerned the students, the
greater the potentiality for un
healthy conflict, both convert and
overt, between them.
“When obviouly bright students
criticize the teaching, champion a
professor whose contract isn’t be
ing renewed, complain about the
‘sick call’ aspect of the health serv
ice, demand membership on univer
sity committees — these potenti
ally constructive expressions of
adolescent energy tread on sensi
tive toes.
To handle such problems con
structively requires a respect for

TTI Official Requests
Uniform Traffic Controls
A request for the cooperation of
county officials in adopting uni
form traffic controls on county
roads sounded here Monday at the
fifth annual County Judges’ and
Commissioners’ Conference. Speak
ing was Charles J. Keese, execu
tive officer of the Texas Transpor
tation Institute.
“Accidents have increased out of
proportion on county roads in re
cent years,” Keese declared.
He said although a county road
may be built for a limited use,
drivers tend to drive the same on
lesser roads as on the major high
ways.
Recreational driving has in
creased, “a great deal” in recent
years, Keese said.
“The time has come when we
must include traffic control in this
area of must expenses along with
firefighting and similar items,” he
continued.
The county officials also heard
a bi’ief report from A. H. Chris
tian, right-of-way engineer in Tex
as Highway Department headquar
ters at Austin.
Chi'istian said the program of
securing right-of-way for the in
terstate highway system is two
J^ears ahead of construction. He
hopes that the land program can
be completed in 1968.
The a$sistance of county offi
cials in helping with right-of-way
problems, including public rela
tions aspects of the program, was
asked by the highway official.
WASHINGTON <#> -- The
Supreme Court rejected Monday a
Mississippi appeal asking review
of actions by the Justice Depart
ment and the 5th U. S. Circuit
Court of Apeals in the admission
of James H. Meredith to the Uni
versity of Mississippi.
The appeal, filed by Mississippi
A tty. Gen. Joe T. Patterson and
five assistants, said federal offi
cial in the Meredith case diso
beyed the Constitution, apparently
for political. gain.
The Circuit Court in New Or
leans, the appeal said, “was
rushed headlong past the most
basic doctrines of constitutional
law in the haste of these parties
to secure what was, for the De
partment of Justice, apparently
the quintessence of political ex
pediency.”
The appeal asserted “no graver
constitutional issue” had ever
faced the high tribunal.
The Supreme Court’s rejection
of the appeal was in a brief order
which gave no reason.
The Mississippi appeal contend
ed the Circuit Court lacked author
ity to tell state officials not to in
terfere with the registration of
Meredith at the university.
A civil contempt finding against
Gov. Ross R. Bamett should be
overturned, the appeal stated, and
the Justice Department should not
have been allowed to act in sup
port of Meredith’s effores to reg
ister.
