THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, November 15, 1963 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle “It’s not important who wins th’ game, but how th’ party was played!” BATTALION EDITORIALS Language Issue Has Simple Solution We live in a world today where isolated incidents are often blown out of proportion with all too tragic results. It appears that a similar situation may be developing on the A&M campus. We want to encourage all parties concerned to nip this unfortunate growth before it has had time to develop. For some time it has been easy to see that the relation ship between foreign students on campus and U. S. citizens are not what they should be. However, in recent weeks there has been increased friction between the two groups. There is no apparent reason for such friction. The U. S. student should be happy to receive any student from any foreign country to our campus. Not only is it a compliment to our school, but it offers all of us a rare opportunity to learn more about the world we live in— and with modern technical advances we live in more of the world each day. An A&M student has a particular advantage over stu dents of some schools because of the number of countries which are represented on campus. As far as the language spoken by an individual student is concerned, it would probably be best for each student to use the language with which he can best communicate with the person he is speaking with. Also, a student would probably gain much more by attempting to gain a working gnowledge of another student’s language than by growling about that student’s use of his native tongue.

HODENFIELD 6*1*) Education Writer CHICAGO > — State uni versities can and must expand their facilities to handle the hordes of high school students who soon will be demanding ad mission to college, a panel of state university presidents said Tuesday. But, they added, it is going to be a fierce struggle, and the uni versities will need more state and federal support than they now are getting. “Even if we had no more stu dents, we would still have a Job Calls— MONDAY Aerofin Corporation — Mech anical engineering.

But we can and will do the job, if the public will support us.” Dr. Mason Gross, president of Rutgers, said his university re cently had to construct a build ing to house a “tandem Van De Graaf accelerator,” a basic re search tool in nuclear physics. Fred H. Harrington, president of the University of Wisconsin, said there are several approach es that state universities may take to handle the crush of col lege students. “It may be the pattern of Cal ifornia and Florida, with a state network of junior colleges. It may be the pattern of Michigan State University, with a cluster of small colleges surrounding a large university. “We can expand indefinitely— with help.” Editor, The Battalion: I would like to qualify the tone and expressions of a letter I submitted to The Battalion con cerning the use of foreign lang uages on the A&M campus. My letter was written in much more general and emotional terms than I realized. Its purpose was not meant to insult students from foreign countries or their langu ages, but to call to their attention the fact that it is a gesture of politeness for a student of for eign descent, namely American citizens of a Spanish descent, to speak English while in America. My letter was written in an emotional state of mind, and I apologize to those students who were unjustly insulted. Marvin Oehl, ’64 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: I must say that I am in com plete sympathy with the opinions expressed by Mr. Oehl in his let ter of Wednesday, the 13th. His views should not be applied quite as broadly as it seems at first glance, however. Many of our foreign students really try to act like Americans. Although this may or may not be good, they do do a great deal to make living conditions here campus more conpatible. Students who persist in using languages other than English are only hurting themselves, espec ially if they have any desire to get along with other students. They not only cause distrust and misunderstanding in the student body; but, also, they add con fusion to a relatively simple operation like eating in the din ing hall. Now, after saying that, let me once again express appreciation to those foreign students who fol low a policy of “when in Rome . . or, better yet, “Do unto others . . .” Resentment is rising. James F. Reynolds ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: Re the second letter on Sound Off, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 1963. To the like of Marvin Oehl, I say, “To purgatory with you.” In an institution of higher learning such as A&M there cer tainly is no place for a nitwit like him. Eugene Wong, ’62 Not a foreign student. ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: In reference to Oehl’s letter of Nov. 13, I would like to say that I have lived on the Mexican bord er all my life and have spent one and a half years in Europe and have yet to see a “foreign res taurant for imbecils,” but it is possible that I just didn’t look in the right places, because if there is such a place I’m sun Oehl would have found it. As for his corn patch bit, I’m sure he knows what he is talking about there, also. James H.
