Banner Raising, Lowering
Gets Mixed Response Here
Maybe we’ve been misinformed, but we thought it was
one of the unwritten laws of American society, to show
respect for our flag at all times. At least some students here
seem to show the same views because a few do stop and
wait while Old Glory is raised each morning and lowered
later in the day.
During the regular school year, with uniformed Corps
members acting as reminders, everyone stops to show respect
at these times. But summer is a time for vacations and many
apparently feel they can take a vacation from patriotism.
It must be alright, however, because many Corps mem
bers now in summer school keep right on walking. Theoret
ically, they are the ones who set examples.
Of course, a 10-15 second stop to pay respect to our flag
and what its stands for is quite an inconvenience. Perhaps
this is why some feel justified in ignoring the flag in motion.
Why do any of us bother to stop? We suppose it’s just
because we’re proud of being Americans and of our flag.
Maybe we feel some sore of obligation to the thousands who
have died for that banner down through the years.
It must be nice to feel pride in more convenient things
or nothing at all. And it must be nice for those who don’t
feel they have any obligation to the flag and what it rep
resents. We envy too our summer representatives from the
Corps of Cadets who can be patriotic while in uniform nine
mounts out of the year and then turn it off like a faucet
over these three months.
But most of us are going to be old-fashioned and keep
on stopping when the occasion arises.
We hope those of you who don’t bother to stop will excuse
us if we get in the way.

Sound Off
(Editor’s Note: The following
letter was received Wednesday
from the “Committee for an All-
Male Military Texas A&M.”
Editor,
The Battalion:
The above committee has been
formed for the ultimate purpose
of “effecting a reversal of the
recent decision to abolish our
state’s only all-male facility at
Texas A&M College.”
The committee will remain in
existence until the reversal has
been accomplished by the next
legislature, legal proceedings, or
voluntarily by the A&M Board of
Directors.
We will carry this issue to the
people of Texas. The citizens of
this state have a right to know
why their sons and future genera
tions of young Texas men are now
being denied a choice as to the
type of institution they can at
tend. The people of Texas have
a right to know why the A&M
Board of Directors continue to
ignore the Texas House of Repre
sentatives which advised the
Board, by a vote of 99-22, to re
verse their decision.
This committee does not feel
that Texas girls will want any
part in destroying one of our
state’s most cherished, traditional
institutions.
Three separate legal actions
will be initiated prior to the Fall
semester in an effort to expose
limited co-education decision of
April 27, as a fraud and as the
first step toward destroying the
cadet corps at Texas A&M.
Texas A&M College will be pre-
served as an all-male, military
institution.

Prof Edits Guide
For Space Math
Jack T. Kent, associate professor
of mathematics at A&M, is the
author of a technical report to fa
cilitate the computation of plane
tary objects, including man-made
satellites.
Professor Kent, an authority on
space science, compiled the set of
tables with the IBM 709 computer
at the Data Processing Center.
He was assisted by George B.
Taack, Jr., Data Processing Center
supervisor, and David C. Larson,
mathematics student.
The book of tables will provide
easier tracking of “spectroscopic
and visual binaries and small
planetary objects such as asteroids
and satellites.” The programming
technique employed was Fortran,
using double precision arithmetic.
The tables were printed directly
from magnetic tape by means of
the IBM 717 Printer, which has
complete error checking facilities.
