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.
Tuesday with 3 points in the
Cadets’ 83-73 loss to the Uni
versity of Texas in Austin. The
old school record was 37 points,
which Lenox tied in the A&M
victory over Arkansas last week.
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.
Grad Enrollment
Breaks Record
This semester’s graduate school
enrollment was placed at 956
Wednesday by Graduate Dean
Wayne C. Hall. The total is 28
per cent higher than last spring’s
graduate enrollment and an all-
time high for the college.
Lenox Breaks
Scoring Mark
Junior eager Bennie Lenox
broke Carroll Broussard’s two-
year-old game scoring record
Hall added that during the fall
semester A&M’s graduate en
rollment increase showed the
greatest percentage gain of any
college or university in the South.
Sixty-eight advanced degrees were
awarded at January commence
ment exercises.

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-

cans. 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.
