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.

Presidents Say
Schools To Grow
By G. K. HODENFIELD
6*1*) Education Writer
CHICAGO <A>> — 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.

al-
problem keeping up with ex
panding knowledge,” President
Charles Odegaard of the Univer
sity of Washington told a news
conference.
“We still would have to build
new buildings and remodel the
old ones.
“When you add to this
population explosion, and
growing problems of state
nance across the country,
over-all problems become
most over whelming. 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.
