THE BATTALION
Political Forum: A Step
In The Right Direction
The Executive Committee is expected to
announce early next week a compromise
solution to the political clubs situation.
President Earl Rudder told student lead
ers Wednesday night the committee will
reaffirm its stand banning partisan political
organizations from campus, but will offer
students a political forum for discussion,
debate and study of politics and party lines.
The Department of History and Govern
ment has agreed to sponsor such an organi
zation to provide students with an intense
study of political science, and Rudder as
sured student leaders he would assist such
a group in locating, sponsoring and financi
ally backing outstanding speakers.
Rudder also said the Executive Commit
tee is not opposed to political clubs and
activities by students but believes such
action should not be conducted on campus.
He encouraged students to join off-campus,
local political clubs if they are interested in
active participation.
We do not agree with President Rudder
nor the Executive Committee that on-
campus political activity is undesirable,
but we are in full support of the suggested
forum. The study organization is a signi
ficant step in the right direction, and we
urge the Student Senate to organize and en
courage the establishment of such a club
by next fall.
The study of partisan politics, political
issues and other facets of political science is
significant to a complete education today.
The forum will satisfy this need. But we
would also welcome the opportunity for
practical experience in political affairs that
only an active, partisan organization can
offer. If a university is to be the training
ground that it should be, practical participa
tion should go hand in hand with theoretical
study whenever possible. Such a combina
tion in the area of political science is quite
feasible on the university campus, and is
already in effect on most campuses in the
state and nation.
Adoption of the study forum is an achi
evement, but not a final solution. As
long as there are students concerned about
partisan politics and determined to actively
pursue their interests, the Executive Com
mittee will be requested to reverse the pre
vailing ban on political clubs. Someday,
perhaps it will.
Until then, however, the proposed study
forum must serve the needs and desires of
aspiring student politicians and laymen in
terested in political affairs. It will be a
welcome addition to our campus and has the
potential to give students and faculty mem
bers a stimulating, educational and reward
ing insight into a field which nearly all of
us will encounter in life.
Comfort Defeats Unity
In Corps Housing Plans
Despite an overwhelming preference for
single-area housing, the Corps of Cadets
will live in both the Duncan and Sbisa
Dining Hall areas next year.
A poll taken last week by outfit first
sergeants showed that 1,184 cadets desired
to live as a unit in the Duncan area, while
257 Corps member — primarily underclass
men — preferred the Sbisa area with its
air-conditioned comforts.
However, the administration has chosen
to disregard the 80 per cent majority and
the ardent pleas of cadet leaders and divide
the Corps between air-conditioned and non
air-conditioned housing again next year.
Primary reason given for the decision
was that the university cannot discriminate
against a student because he selects cadet
attire instead of civilian dress while attend
ing Texas A&M. The administration re
jected a proposal by a junior cadet that non
air-conditioned housing be part of a package
deal with the non-compulsory Corps.
The university believes, apparently, that
complete Duncan area housing for the Corps
would relegate the organization to some
sort of “second-class citizenry.” Eighty
per cent of the students involved, however,
are willing to accept poorer living conditions
to achieve the unity they feel would ac
company single-area housing.
If the Corps wants to live as a unit and
its members are willing to sacrifice air-
conditioning and more pleasing surround
ings to accomplish this goal, we do not
understand why they cannot be allowed to
do so.
More than 2,500 beds are available in
the Duncan area, with about 300 more in
Hart Hall to accommodate any overflow.
Presently, the Corps has about 2,200 cadets.
An enormous influx of freshmen could push
the Corps beyond Duncan area capacity, and
only in that case should split-area housing
be necessary.
The administration has bent over back
wards to please a 20 per cent minority —
and their parents. In so doing, it has dis
pleased 80 per cent. Minority rights, in
this case, do not require administrative pro
tection. A student has the choice or either
cadet or civilian life when he enters this
university. If air-conditioned housing to
an aspiring cadet is more important than
a unified Corps, he is not the kind of mem
ber Texas A&M’s Corps of Cadets needs.
‘But I Was Misquoted’
Newspapers have gained the reputation
they now enjoy because of their ability to
relay printed information rapidly and, with
some exception, accurately.
The printed word is not beyond reproach ;
there is much room for improvement. But
survey after survey has revealed that news
papers are more dependable for printing the
truth than other news media. This reputa
tion is largely a result of the responsibility
newsmen have been taught they owe their
readers.
Some people, usually in high positions,
would like to destroy this image of depend
ability and accuracy because newspapers do
not always show them in the most favorable
light.
The favorite defense against newspaper-
aroused hostility, confusion or disregard to
ward these persons is, “But I was misquot
ed.” It has become a pet peeve of the news
paper industry for public officials or other
quotable sources to deny their statements,
laying the blame on “irresponsible journal
ism.”
Newspapers do misquote people, but not
as often as many persons like to think. More
often than not, the newsman writes down
a statement exactly as he hears it, no mat
ter how ridiculous or outrageous it sounds.
The reporter is not expected to be a mind-
reader; his job is to report what he sees
and hears.
“But I was misquoted” too many times
means “but that is not the way I meant to
say it.” Quite often newspapers are blam
ed for “misquoting” when a source reveals
some information he later realizes should
not have been mentioned, or when his state
ments make him appear foolish, cowardly,
boastful, mean or in some other unfavor
able light.
As student reporters we have had more
than our share of blame for not correctly
quoting our sources. Some of it is well-
founded ; much is not. We are in training
and will make mistakes, but not as often
as it is conventient for our campus con
tacts to say, “But I was misquoted.”
