THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, February 22, 1963 by Jim Earle •5% • , | Looking Back . . . , liillii At This Week 1' ' ||''' ■'i ' f - > <- | lb*—ESI I Four Directors Favor Change Much of the week’s top news concerned the A&M System Board of Directors. First of all, the state Senate confirmed Gov. John Connally’s three new appointees. Secondly, four of the veteran di rectors told The Battalion they favor a college name-change to incorporate the word “univer sity.” The three new appointees are Dr. A. P. Beutel of Lake Jack- son, Gardiner Symonds of Hous ton and L. F. Peterson of Fort Worth. Two of the six hold-over board members would not make com ments on the name-change issue. Of the four that said they were in favor of a change, Clyde Thomp son and John Newton both favor ed Texas State University and Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege, while the other two did not mention specific names.

Lenox’s record point output came on 13 field goals and 17 charity tosses. At one point in the second half, he scored 23 straight Aggie points. In his last three games Lenox has aver aged 38.3 points per game and made 49 free throws, 37 in succes sion.

Now that’s what I call a long problem!” SCIENCE AND MORALITY—8 John Glenn Had Answer (Eighth of a series) The Barriers Tumble You would think that by this, the 20th Century, civilized men would know and understand one another. But the barriers re main up all over the world. The United States finds itself walk ing a tight-rope, carefully try ing not to upset the Soviets, the Neutrals or the Allies. Sometimes the barriers take the form of language. Wishful think ers have for centuries hoped for a common language, one that would be spoken and understood all over the world. In 1887, a Dr. L. L. Zamenhof invented an international language called “Es peranto.” It flourished for a time, but outside a few scattered circles it is of little interest to day. A certain breakthrough in un derstanding was achieved on Feb, 20, 1962. On that day, Col. John Glenn communicated with the world from his tiny vehicle, the Friendship 7, on the edge of space. As he circled the globe three times, observing four sun sets in less than five hours, the ears of mankind were turned to his words radioed from the blue. As Glenn soared over Africa, Asia, Australia and the United States, men listened and wonder ed. His heartbeat was recorded by Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, Filipinos, Russians and Ameri- J. D.

Men found themselves in stinctively drawn to one another in their concern for one man gliding through space. As the Friendship 7 complet ed its journey and was raised from the sea, the nations of the earth rejoiced. A new hope was born. Perhaps men of science— uninterested in political haggling -—might begin ’ to communicate with one another on an ever wid ening scale, pooling their know ledge and using their discoveries for the benefit of all mankind. A common language would be un necessary in a world where men understood their common pur pose and their common goals.
