THE BATTALION
Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, March 11, 1965
L. C. Post of San Ber
nardino, Calif., is concerned that
A&M Consolidated has dropped
turnip greens from the cafteria
menu.
After reading a brief article
about the greenless menu, Mr.
Post jotted down a few notes and
sent them to his son-in-law who
forwarded them to The Battalion.
It seems that the California
gentleman is quite fond of Texas
A&M, having visited his daughter
and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Case, here in 1951.
Here are his reactions to the
absence of turnip greens from a
high school diet:
“Shades of the Alamo!”
“The great state of Texas was
built by strong and virile men
who were raised on turnip greens.
Texas was where men were men
and women were women who serv
ed their men turnip greens and
hog jowls.
“Now comes a new breed. Rais
ed on Coke and custards, they
have no stomach for foods with
vigor and character.”
“Soon they will change the ‘cof
fee break’ to the ‘Metracal break’,
tea and crumpets for the after
noon pickup.”
“How can their athletes win
over opponents who eat turnip
greens and bacon rind for des
sert?”
“Pass the bandaids. My heart
is bleeding for A&M.”
Thanks for the blood, Mr. Post,
but please remember that only
the local high school has excluded
Fight Against Status Quo
Is Students 1 ’ Main Goal
By Intercollegiate Press
San Francisco, Calif. — The
college student’s quest for the
good life stems more from a quiet
rebellion against society’s values
than it does from satisfaction
with the status quo, a study of
more than 100 freshmen at San
Francisco State College suggests.
Findings of the study are sum
marized in a Psychological Re
ports monograph by Robert E.
Mogar, a member of the Division
of Psychology. His researh was
part of a student development
study, financed by the U. S. Of
fice of Education.

“That rebellion,” he declares,
“should take the form of passive
disengagement (from society) ra
ther than positive protest indi
cates that traditional values are
not oppresive so much as irre
levant to many students.” Mogar
believes students may turn to
what others have called “an ideo
logy of privacy” to replace the
“lapsed ideologies of public ac
tion.”
In common with many research
ers at other colleges, Mogar found
the freshmen here tend to “play
it cool” and avoid personal en
tanglement with broad social con
cerns. Given a choice of 12
items, nearly two-thirds of the
men (62 per cent) rated economic
security, careers and family life
as their three most important
concerns after college.

Mental Health Plan
Clears Texas House
AUSTIN <A>) — Gov. John Con-
nally’s plan for a community
center attack on mental illness
and retardation cleared the House
Wednesday on a 139-1 vote and
went to the Senate.
The House also acted on tu
berculosis control, boat safety and
malt liquor and ale bills. The
liquor bill sparked the day’s hot
test fight.
Senators, meanwhile, passed 21-
5 and sent to the House a bill
changing the name of East Texas
State College to East Texas State
University.
Rep. W. H. Miller of Houston,
sponsor of the mental health bill,
won a major victory before the
measure finally passed. The
House voted 96-42 to remove an
amendment approved last week
that took out of the bill a re
quirement , that the proposed
state mental health commissioner
be a physician. Miller had stren
uously opposed the amendment.
The bill sets up a new Texas
Department of Mental Health and
Mental Retardation, taking over
treatment and prevention jobs
now held mainly by the State
Health Department and the Board
for State Hospitals and Special
Schools.
A central feature is the meas
ure’s authorization of community
centers to deal with mental health
problems.
Another Connally health pro
posal, transfer of all turbercu-
losis treatment and control activi
ties to the State Health Depart
ment, won tentative House ap
proval on voice vote. Rep. Men
ton Hurray of Harlingen spon
sor of the Senate-passed meas
ure, said he will seek final vote
Thursday.
Rep. Gus Mutscher’s bill put
ting malt liquor and ale under
the beer action of state liquor
law raised tempers and turned
faces red.
The bill HB82 was tentatively
approved, 89-43, after Mutscher
refeated several attempts to water
the measure down-including one
amendment that would have rais
ed the beer tax $1 a barrel. An
other vote is required and could
come as early as Thursday.
Malt liquor and ale, slightly
more alcoholic than beer, but
produced by breweries, is now
treated the same as whisky in
the Texas Liquor Control Act.
Beer distributors back the bill,
while liquor wholesalers and pack
age store operators oppose it,
Beer can be sold off the dock
at retail and sales to retailers
must be cash. Malt liquor and
ale would be treated the same way
under the bill.
