Play’s Closing
Not Censorship
Says Baylor
FORT WORTH (^) — Baylor
University declared Tuesday it did
not consider the controversial clos
ing of the Eugene O’Neill play
an act of censorship.
The action by Baylor President
Abner McCall led to the resigna
tion Friday of Paul Baker, chair
man of the drama department,
his wife and 11 members of his
staff.
IN A STATEMENT issued Tues
day the university said a long
standing policy against permitting
ridicule of the Christian religion
in any campus media was a key
issue in the dispute between the
administration and the Baylor
theater.
The statement was prepared for
presentation at a workshop spon
sored by the Christian Life Com
mission of the Baptist General
Convention of Texas.
DAVID A. CHEAVENS, director
of public relations at Baylor, read
the statement during a discussion
period at the Southwestern Bap
tist Theological Seminary.
The Baylor official read the
statement, authorized by Dr. Mc
Call, after a paper entitled “Cen-
sorship-right or wrong” was de
livered by T. B. Mason, professor
of Christian ethics at the sem
inary.
College May
Lose Entire
Col lection
BY DAN LOUIS JR.
Battalion News Editor
A state law passed in 1959
has closed the doors of the
College’s museum. The same
law which says no college can
maintain a museum with state
funds, stand a good chance of
causing the College to lose the
exhibits in the museum.
Dr. W. B. Davis, head of the
Department of Wildlife Manage
ment and chairman of a museum
committee, said there is no money
available to run the museum.
He pointed out that the museum
doors were locked when the De
partment of Range and Forestry
moved into the new Plant Sciences
Building.
UNTIL THAT TIME some mem
bers of the department were of-
ficed in the building and kept the
museum open.
Davis said that since the move
in late January there has been no
one located in the building. At
present all the exhibits, with the
exception of a herbarium, remain
in the building.
The herbarium was moved into
the Plant Sciences Building to be
used in plant research.
Davis stated that the committee
recommended last spring that the
museum “be maintained and ex
panded.”
HE SAID THAT the committee
feels that the museum is a fine
educational aid and an important
part of the educational system.
“We don’t know why some steps
haven’t been taken to keep the
museum open,” Davis added. “I
personally hope that something
will be done to re-open the facility
and expand its usefulness.”
Dr. C- C. Doak,. former head of
the Department of Biology, who
was closely associated with Dr. O.
M. Ball, s first curator of the mu
seum, said that he was not sur
prised to hear about the closing.
WHEN ASKED WHO could be
credited for founding the museum,
Doak stated that he felt Ball and
Dr. Mark Francis were instru
mental in establishing the collec
tion.
Doak recalled his student days
in 1915 when Ball, then head of
the Department of Biology, and
Francis, professor of veterinary
medicine, allowed him to accom
pany them on some of their ex
peditions.
“Those two men were always
trying to obtain something new
for the collection,” Doak said.
Davis said that to operate the
museum as the committee recom
mended would cost approximately
$25,000 annually. This would in
clude allowances for a curator, an
assistant and modest expansion.

FORUM SPEAKER SA YS
Marriage Boom Blame
Placed On Affections
By CLOVIS McCALLISTER
Battalion Staff Writer
Dr. Robert Ledbetter told ap
proximately 125 students Tuesday
that the “boom” in high school and
college marriages is a result of
“wanting someone to give us their
affection and someone to whom
we can give our affections.”
Ledbetter, former director* of
the Methodist Student Center in
Austin, was speaking at the sec
ond session of the Marriage Forums
being conducted by the YMCA. He
is presently a counselor at the
University of Texas Health Center
and visiting lecturer in the De
partment of Sociology there.
THE PROBLEMS brought about
by pressures to make marriage
meaningful are the destructive a-
gents in many marriages, he said.
“A couple in love and determined
to make it is the best answer to
the problems in marriage,” Led
better said.
The effect of shifting from a
rural society to an urban society,
the change in the role and status
of men and women and the develop
ment of labor-saving 1 devices in
A&M, Argentina
Eye Ag Agreement
Dean of Agriculture R. E. Pat
terson has indicated A&M may
soon sign an agreement with the
Argentinian government to help
establish two new agricultural im
provement prograihs in the Latin
American Country.
The programs involve agricultu
ral and rural development and the
establishment of an Institute of
Agricultural Economics in Argen
tina.
THE AGREEMENT would call
for A&M to supply a technical
staff to organize the programs and
to accept additional Argentinian
students here.
Patterson and five other A&M
representatives recently visited the
South American country on in
vitation from the Agricultural Ex
periment Station Extension Ser
vice branch of the Argentinian
government.
Argentina has great potential
for many kinds of livestock and
crop production and could be a
world leader in these areas, Pat
terson s'aid.
HE SAID THE agreement would
be valuable to tl|e United States
because ‘we can learn from them,
too.”
Five Argentinian officials are
scheduled to visit the A&M cam
pus and Washington, D.C., in late
spring, according to Patterson.
Other A&M staffers who made
the visit were Dr. Tyrus Timm,
head of the Department of Agri
cultural Economics and Rural
Sociology; Dr. J. G. McNeely, pro
fessor of agricultural economics;
Dr. John D. Williams, Data Proces
sing Center; J. C. Smith, superin
tendent of the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Substation near Angle-
ton; and Dr. T. C. Cartwright, pro
fessor of genetics in the Depart
ment of Animal Husbandry.
the home are reasons for the prob
lems in marriage, he said.
LEDBETTER SAID some of the
of problems in early marriage are
sex relations, finances, social acti
vities, in-law relations, religions
activities and mutual friends. He
said he believed these were only
Indications of deeper difficulties.
Ledbetter added that all of the
problems in a marriage can be
placed in three important headings:
sex, money and food These can
be used as weapons by either mate
to combat the other in spite, he
said.
To overcome the problems of
marriage, Ledbetter urged improv
ing communications, setting values
for one’s self, accepting a mate for
what she really is, having common
goals, working for affection and
spiritual commitment.
A COUPLE PLANNING marri
age does not need a large financial
reserve, but does need a job to
enable them to marry, the coun
selor said.
Ledbetter said the average en
gagement period is six months
but he thought the couple should
know each other at least a year
before getting married. He said
this would allow the couple to know
each other better, but he added,
a person will only get to know
their mate through marriage.
An engagement can be too long
as well as too short, Ledbetter said,
and he added the problem with long
engagements was with the physi
cal aspect.
Ledbetter said teachers and par
ents can postpone the early mar
riages by trying to keep down
steady dating, talking about the
meaning of emotional involvement
or marriage and pointing to the
responsibility problems that ar
rive in marriages, such as finances.
