Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, May 2, 19G3 CADET SLOUCH BATTALION EDITORIALS Texan Gives Second Best Well, they did it again! No, not the Board of Directors, but the Daily Texan’s ever so alert editorial staff. However, we feel sure that they have come up with only their second best effort this time. In an editorial dealing with A&M and the Board’s recent co-ed decision in Tuesday’s issue the Texan suggested, “Compulsory ROTC must be abolished . . .” and, “For the same reason women must be admitted and two years of compulsory ROTC must be abolished, Texas A&M must open its doors to all students—without regard to race.” At this time we will not discuss any differences we might have with what was said, but rather with the fact that it was said. It seems that the Texan editorial staff just can’t mind its own business. Or on second thought, it might just be that the Texan is unable to handle its own business. We said that the editorial was probably a second best effort. We feel sure that when the Texan got word of the Board’s decision its typewriters were prepared for the worse. We imagine visions of demonstration marches and student protest meetings on the A&M campus (both fine UT tradi tions) danced in the heads of Texan editorial writers. However, once again Aggies have displayed the rational, mature restraint which has prevented so many embarrassing events (such as fights with visiting student bodies in G. Rollie White) from ever starting. We do wish that the Texan would be content to give us nothing when they can’t give the best. %f im Earle House OK’s Bill Creatim Voter Registration Sysla AUSTIN (A 5 ) — Texas renre- No ratification move is pending Texas Senate and isinaj sentatives tentatively approved in the Texas Legislature.

When he said he’d look through my paper, I some how expected something more ... !” Although the House acted on a Senate - passed bill, the measure must return to the Senate for ac ceptance or rejection of House changes - principally in removing a 25 cent charge for registering. Efforts to make the radical change in Texas’ voting system into a permanent registration sys tem of once every four years failed by decisive votes. “I am not trying to write a voter registration bill, I am just trying to update present state elec tion laws so we will have some thing to go by if the poll tax is repealed by Constitution change,” said Rep. Don Hefton, Sherman, House sponsor. A proposed federal Constitution change banning the poll tax for voting was approved by Congress but has been ratified by only 30 of the necessary 38 state legis latures to put it into effect. Boston To Experiment In Upgrading Education Sound Off Bulletin Board Editor, The Battalion: To the young men of Texas: Your questions as to why you must go out of state to attend an all male, mi-litary school brings bitter memories to many thou sand graduates of a great in stitution that fell on April 27, 1963. For it was on this day that the governing body of the A&M Col lege of Texas bowed to the mer chants of the small town of Bryan and voted to make the College co-educational. My son, who has been raised to believe in the great tradition of the Aggies, will now never be an Aggie. If he must attend a co-educational college, there are many others that he can choose from, including three in his own back yard. However, if possi ble he will attend an all-male military college, out of state, be cause there is a need, now so more than ever, for the discipline and the training given in such an institution. The young women of your state are more fortunate. They still may attend an all woman college in their home state. And fellows, I doubt if there’ll be any more former student spon sored projects on the campus such as the Memorial Student Center or the Chapel, because many former students feel as I feel, that they can no longer fin ancially support something that does not exist. Mark the date, 27 April 1963, for this is the date that you and I and the people of Texas were betrayed. George Gray Jr., ’52 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: Read your editorial “Liberal Arts Lose Out” (April 23), and could not disagree more com pletely. I am a student in the Li beral Arts Department (history), and was not at all disappointed in Mr. Peterson’s references to the obvious role of Texas A&M as the Southwest’s leading institu tion in the fields of agriculture, engineering, architecture and the sciences. A&M was founded as a school of engineering and agri culture, and as such is more im portant to the state and nation today than any liberal arts col lege could possibly be. The arts and sciences program here should be expanded and im proved, of course, especially in those fields which hold particular interest for male students in gen eral, and Aggies in particular. But let’s not overlook the present situation. The Department of Business Administration, for in stance, is one of the largest on campus. In liberal arts, the De partment of History has recently begun to receive considerable at tention from Aggies interested in careers in politics, the military and law. The recent addition of a curriculum in government point out the fact that the department is indeed expanding. Curriculum in other fields, such as political science, may come in the future. Our Department of Economics is one of the finest in the. country, and also appears to be in a pro cess of growth. In certain fields of liberal arts, however, one cannot seriously claim that there is any demand, need or interest in instruction here. Curriculum in the fine arts, such as music, art, etc. are not ihissed here, and probably never will be by serious students. I seriously doubt that A&M loses many prospective students be cause it does not offer a pro gram in modern dance. The type of student that wishes to major in such fields will find himself welcome at such colleges at TU and TCU, which take great inter est in these fields. Engineering and agriculture are of utmost importance to the industry, economy and progress of Texas at this time, and it is certainly appropriate that the thinking people of this state should recognize the importance Arts and Sciences Department at A&M has a very definite and im portant place, and does not main tain a secondary status. It will expand and grow with the state and the school, but there is no sense in trying to force unneeded and disproportionate expansion on it, especially at %he expense of this university’s primary goals.

CHARLIE'S NORTH GATE —WE DELIVER— FOOD MARKET COLLEGE STATION By The Intercollegiate Press Boston, Mass. — Boston Uni versity has become one of a handful of New England institu tions participating in a unique, pace-setting program to upgrade school administration education. “The formalization of an agree ment to offer a cooperative pro gram of graduate study in school administration between Boston University and six New England colleges and universities went into effect recently.
