Student Body Called On...
What Will Be The Result?
The Student Senate is planning to meet tonight in Room
3-D of the Memorial Student Center. If student interest is
anything like it should be, the meeting should have to be
adjourned to G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Student Body President Sheldon Best, who heads the
senate, has invited all students to the meeting for a dis
cussion of the present name-change question. Best’s motives
are all that anyone could ask—to find out how the student
body feels about the issue. The rest is up to the students ;
if no one shows up, the eventual decision of the Senate could
be contradictory to the real feeling of the student body.
Various other ways to measure student opinion have
been tried here in the past, and none have ever really worked.
The latest effort was an administration-asked election held
last spring. Many observers were surprised to see the stu
dent vote favor a name-change, admission of coeds and the
abolition of a compulsory Corps of Cadets. But more re
vealing was the fact that only 48.2 per cent of the student
body vote—and this was a record turnout.
Of course a 48 per cent student turnout tonight would
be much more phenominal, but we see no reason why each
student’s views can’t be expressed by at least a dormitory
representative. Probably the most feasible method of hand
ling tonight’s “opinion pool” would be through quick elections
in dormitories, with a representative then voicing the re-
sultihg decision at the senate meeting.

Man Can’t Be Replaced
(Seventh of a series)
Irreplaceable Man
“People today sometimes are
overcome by the importance of
the machine,” said Gen Bernard
A. Schriever, commander of the
Air Force Systems Command, to
ROTC students of The Citadel
in January, 1962. “We have ma
chines,” he told them, “that sell
us soft drinks, wash our clothes
and figure our income tax. Some
times we may be tdmpted to think
that machines alone will be able
to defend us militarily.
is men who make the peace. You
cannot build creative ability into
a machine; you cannot design a
circuit to take the place of cour
age; and you cannot enclose dedi
cation to freedom in a magic box.”
It is true that scientific achieve
ment in our life-time has reached
boundaries beyond even the imagi
nation of men living in the year
1900. In one-half a century
America has seen more scientific
progress than the world has seen
in the entire period of written
history.
“This is not true. Machines
can help, but they can never re
place man. It is men, not ma
chines, that fight the wars; it

There is always the temptation
on the part of indolent citizens
to lean back and contemplate
that within a few short years the
push-button will have eliminated
all need for work and at the same
time, all need for responsibility.
Nothing could be further from
the truth.
Man cannot be replaced by the
test-tube or by the machine. He
will always remain a person. He
cannot hand over his responsibi
lity or his conscience to an insti
tution whether it be a state, a
class or a racial group. His
thoughts and his actions will re
main his alone and for them he
will assume personal responsibi
lity.
No matter how advanced our
science or how perfect our ma
chines, they will always remain
subordinate to man. Nothing on
this earth is more excellent, more
valuable, more sacred than man.
He is the irreplaceable factor in
all progress. He alone makes or
unmakes the world in which he
lives.
Last fall a reporter-photogra
pher team from The Dallas Times
Herald spent several days on
campus gathering material for a
feature story on a day in the
life of a typical Aggie fish.
The typical Aggie fish selected
to star in the account was Wil
liam G. Adams, a physics major
from Dallas. He was picked be
cause he was so gung-ho and be
cause of his Evident “undying-
love” for A&M.
Fish Adams, along- with his
oh lady, Don Smith, an eco major
from Dallas, were good subjects
for writer Paul Rosenfield and
photographer Andy Hanson.
The young Ags were followed
from first call to lights out. The
newspapermen tagged after them
from the dorm to class, to the
mess hall, etc.
At last Rosenfield and Hanson
said they had enough poop, and
returned to Dallas to write their
story. The article, with a lot
of pictures, was to go in The
Times Herald’s Sunday magazine
supplement. Sounds good does
n’t it?
But this week Doyle Gougler,
a writer in the College Informa
tion Office, received a lettbr from
reporter Rosenfield. The sad
news was — he wrote — that the
star of the story, Fish Adams
had gone AWOL to the Univer
sity of Texas at mid-term, before
it had been published.
But the story has a happy end
ing. The Dallas newspapermen
reworked their story around Fish
Smith, who is still here, and the
feature is to appear Sunday,
