Old Noise Returns
With Many Promises
Nothing- is so silent as intelligence or so obnoxious as
ignorance.
A letter on this same page is so disgusting that we
print it only out of sense of responsibility to students and
former students of A&M.
Mr. Robert Rowland, Class of ’57, has said that as long
as “one woman trods on the A&M campus where she doesn’t
belong, you can forget about “Spirit.” Elsewhere in his
letter he says, “You don’t understand “Spirit” Mr. Editor . . .”
If dear Mr. Rowland is of the opinion that The Spirit is such
a fragile thing among Aggies that it can be removed by
the presence of female students at A&M, then we wonder
if he has experienced the same Spirit that we have.
“I know of not one single Ex who encouraged young
men to attend A&M this Fall,” says Mr. Rowland. We would
like to point out to Mr. Rowland that those Exes who have
the interest of A&M at heart and who would encourage boys
to attend A&M probably did not attend sessions during the
summer where the subject was the undermining of Texas
A&M University, its administration and its board of
directors.
Also in his letter, Mr. Rowland asks, “Why should a boy
attend A&M now when he can go to a real Co-Ed school
closer to home?”
Mr. Rowland, we have one of the finest educational
systems in the United States and probably in the world.
It is just possible that this little insignificant fact might
attract a student or two. We invite you and yours to take
a look at our educatonal plant.
Also, Mr. Rowland, while weeping in the ears of our State
Legislators, you might mention what a .fine educational
system we have—even with girls.
From the letter: “All the smoke screens from the
Administration cannot hide the fact that your drop in
Undergraduate male enrollment is directly traceable to the
admission of a handful of so-called “Co-Eds.” Is it?
Mr. Rowland promises that co-eds on “The A&M campus
are a ‘passing fancy’. If you don’t believe me ask the 100
State Representatives who voted last May 17 to condemn
the Board’s action.”
We must mention that we did have the opportunity to
discuss introduction and passing of the bill in the house
with a few of the representatives. Their explanation for
their action: “The quickest way to get rid of those people
during a busy time.” It appears you might have been given
your bubble gum to dry your tears, Mr. Rowland.
Mr. Rowland says, “Time, drop in male undergraduate
enrollment, the Legislature, plus three new Board members
will remedy the present nightmare called ‘limited co
education’ before the Fall term of 1965.” For all this Mr.
Rowlin gives his “unqualified, 100 per cent guarantee.” On
what authority he offers a 100 per cent guarantee, qualified
or unqualified, Mr. Rowland neglected to say.
For almost six months Mr. Rowland has been acting as
the voice of the former students of A&M. However, we find
it hard to believe that all former students agree with Mr.
Rowland. We wonder how long our former students who
are sincerely interested in the welfare of A&M are going to
let this man act as their spokesman.

For Students
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (IP) — A
Special Honors Program will be
established in the College of
Business Administration at Le
high University with the begin
ning of the 1963-64 academic
year, it was announced here re
cently by Dr. Glenn J. Christen
sen, vice president and provost
at the university.
The program will be patterned
after the special honors pro
grams already established with
in Lehigh’s College of Arts and
Science and College of Engineer
ing. Opportunities for the ex
ceptional undergraduate at Le
high, which include the Special
Honors programs are designed
along both departmental and en-
terdepartmental lines.
A second program, College
Honors, provides the incentive
and the means for the excep
tional student to supplement
work in his major field with in
vestigation in depth of the board
areas of human knowledge. He
must complete four Creative Con
cepts seminars, in which select
ed students from all of the three
“Naw—My ear’s okay!
I can hear th’ series!”
I’ve got a transistor up here so
Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
I have just finished reading
your editorial entitled “Were Stu
dents Hunting For Spirit Last
Friday?”
Unless you have been asleep
since last April 27, you should
know why only three students
showed up to see the football
team off to Baton Rouge.
The present Board of Directors
have successfully demoralized and
for all practical purposes “kill
ed” the Spirit of Aggieland. You
see Sir, A&M is no longer A&M.
It’s A&MU or something I don’t
know and also something foreign
to a vast majority of Former Stu
dents and obviously the Cadet
Corps too.
As long as one woman trods
on the A&M campus where she
doesn’t belong, you can forget
about “Spirit”. As long as the
Evans-Newton clique runs the
A&M Board, you can forget
about “Spirit”.
You’ve got something differ
ent up there now Mr. Editor
which will only be remedied by
the next Legislature or by three
new Board members next Janu
ary. I think the worst thing to
come out of the mess created by
the A&M Board is that the Col
lege has lost most of its “outside
salesmen”. I know of not one
single Ex who encouraged young
men to attend A&M this Fall.
All the smoke screens from the
Administration cannot hide the
fact that your drop in Under
graduate male enrollment is di
rectly traceable to the admission
of a handful of so-called “Co-
Eds”.
Why should a boy attend A&M
now when he can go to a real
Co-Ed school closer to home ?
You don’t understand “Spirit”
Mr. Editor ... if you did, you
wouldn’t have written the editor
ial. Co-Eds on the A&M campus
are a “passing fancy”. If you
don’t believe me ask the 100
State Representatives who voted
last May 17 to condemn the
Board’s action. Time, drop in
male undergraduate enrollment,
the Legislature, plus three new
Board members will remedy the
present nightmare called “limit
ed co-education” before the Fall
term of 1965. For the preceding
statement, you have my unqua
lified, 100 per cent guarantee.
By the way, will someone up
there kindly tell me how the
admission of women to an all
male institution can be termed
“Progress” ? College Officials
will have to explain this to the
Legislature and I personally feel
the question has been ignored
enough.
