' THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, October 30, 1964 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Soviet Journal Lauds K Ouster BATTALION EDITORIALS MOSCOW OP) — The journal of the Soviet party Central Com mittee declared Thursday the party’s decision — meaning the Batt Reviews Principles, Policies Most college newspapers reserve their first issue of the new fall semester to editorially laud their alma mater and clothe its administration and students alike in shrouds of genius and glory. This serves no purpose but to calm an anxious president and to allow an editor liberal use of this thesaurus. But be cause The Battalion chose a different route, questions have arisen as to the how’s and why’s of its editorial positions. The first axiom this newspaper operates under, is that there are no minor deities on the A&M campus. Nor are there any traditions, customs or organizations which are too sacred to be impartially scrutinized. The second premise can be found in “A Statement of Principles” adopted in 1958 by student editors of A&M publi cations. Simply stated, the policy of all student publications reads: “The primary objective of student publications at Texas A&M University is educational, providing practical experience for students in publication man agement, writing, editing, production and distribut ion. Coincidentially, student publications provide printed media for the dissemination of news and in formation, thereby serving the University and its community. The educational and service objectives are designed to enhance the knowledge of the stu dents and the prestige of the University. “The editors of student publications are ex pected to be guided by the accepted ethics of their profession and to keep within the bounds of truth- fullness, accuracy, sincerity, fair play, decency, im partiality, etc. Editors are further expected to main tain good faith with readers, and the respect and the moral character of all persons and the reputation of the University. “The right to freedom of the press, as enjoyed by other free media everywhere, is an inseparable art of The Battalion and other student publications; these derive such inalienable right by law. Neither the University nor Student Publications would have this freedom abridged. Freedom of the Press, how ever, is not to be confused with LICENSE to attack,, or destroy, or otherwise subvert the source from which these periodicals, or any others, derive their freedom. To the PRIVILEGES afforded by press freedom, are inextricably joined the RESPONSI BILITIES for an intelligent fidelity to the public trust. The editor or journalist who makes use of his power for selfish or unworthy purpose violates a cardinal precept of his high calling. The student publications at Texas A&M University should ex emplify the loftiest ideals of the profession.” Bulletin Board FRIDAY Hiliel Club will meet at 7 p.m. at the Foundation Building.

And it called for a world Communist meeting as proposed by Khrush chev but opposed by Red China. Kommunist spoke of “imma ture conclusions and hasty deci sions and actions divorced from reality, boasting, and empty phrase mongering.” ‘Trick or treat!” Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: This is a reply to a letter submitted by Capt. Clarence B. Sanders, ’59. The so-called dead weights he mentioned are supporting greatly to the income of Texas A&M University. True, they are not a part of the Corps, but many are supporting families and try ing very hard to keep high aver ages. If going to Texas A&M Uni versity, supporting their so-called football team and many other extra curricular school activities not including the Corps is being a dead weight, the university nor the Corps is worth two cents. Linda Asbill Wife of a Dead Weight Job Calls A Treat For Millions Last year, the Commission on Missions of St. Paul’s Methodist Church tried a program in their church aimed at a constructive Halloween for the youngsters in their con gregation in the first through the sixth grades. The Meals for Millions Foundation trick-or-treat was the program and it was felt to be very successful. ’ This year St. Paul’s Methodist Church is asking thfer’ other Methodist churches in the city to join them in an ex panded program. The children in the first through the six grades will trick-or-treat in their own neighborhood for money to help feed hungry people of the world. Thee cents will buy a meal of food supplement that contains all the essential minerals, vitamins and proteins which a person normally needs. The children will be identified by the “3 Cent Meals for Millions” share bank, and tag on their costumes. After mak ing their rounds they will report to their respective churches for refreshments and entertainment. This is a project worth contributing to. Three cents buys a meal and $1 buys 33 meals for hungry millions. St. Paul’s Methodist Church nil!
