Senator Raps Secret Meetings
In Talk For Political Forum
By BILL ALDRICH
Battalion Staff Writer
Texas State Senator A. R.
“Babe” Schwartz addressed an in
formal luncheon of the Political
Forum Friday afternoon in the
MSC Assembly Room.
The Galveston lawyer spoke to a
crowd of about 150 on his views
of secrecy in the State Legisla
ture. He then went on to state
his views on a number of contro
versial topics in a question-ans
wer period.
Senator Schwartz objects to
the secret meetings held by the
Nominations Committee to deter
mine candidates for state posi
tions. He argued that the federal
government doesn’t hold closed-
door meetings, and Texas should
n’t either.
He explained that after the
committee had chosen its list of
nominees, an executive, or secret,
session of the Senate is called to
act on the names presented. Sch
wartz led the opposition to defeat
this move by calling for the ses
sion to be held 24 hours after the
names came out of committee.
The senator then studied the
names and told the press how he
would vote before entering the
session, destroying the secrecy of
the session. In the last meeting
of the legislature, Schwartz was
the chairman of the Nominations
Committee, but he has been re
moved this term.
The liberal-minded 1947 gradu
ate of Texas A&M was one of the
first Jewish legislators in Texas.
He explained to his audience how
he had been the voice of almost
all the minorities in the Senate
(See Senator Raps, Page 3)
Steve Kovich, Great Issues
Committee chairman, said the au
thor-lecturer has been making
fact-find trips to all parts of the
globe each summer for the past
15 years.
“Immediately upon his return
from these journeys,” Kovich ex
plained, “Scott writes a book-
length, behind-the-scenes report
to ‘Time’s’ publisher. When the
book is published, he makes up
to 200 speeches to business, pro
fessional and educational groups
around the world.”
Among Scott’s books are “East
of Suez”, “Asian Journey”, “The
New Europe—Can Six and Seven
Make One?”, “The Soviet Eco
nomic Offensive”, “Crisis in Com
munist China”, “How Much Prog
ress?”, and “Democracy is Not
Enough”.
Scott filed his first dispatches
for “Time” from Japan in 1941.
A year later he became a contrib
uting editor for the magazine in
New York. In 1943 he covered
the State Department in Wash
ington before going to London,
then on to Stockholm to head the
“Time-Life” bureau until 1945.
When World War II ended,
Scott reopened “Time’s” Central
European bureau in Berlin.
Returning to New York three
years later, Scott covered a
myriad of international events
for “Time”.

Heaton Sees 34th Year Here
The man who welcomes stu
dents and checks them out at
Texas A&M quietly began his
34th year of service to the uni
versity last week.
“It was just another day,” com
mented Registrar H. L. Heaton.
“I spent about ten hours at my
desk and attending committee
meetings.”
Heaton, one of the oldest uni-
verstiy staff members in terms
of service, estimated that he has
signed approximately 36,000 of
the 47,387 diplomas conferred at
Aggieland. He has inked his
signature along with seven presi
dents and 50 deans.
The native of Gary in Panola
County came to A&M in 1933 as
a graduate student. And he has
been at Aggieland ever since.
“THERE WERE 92 people in
graduate school when I enrolled
in June of 1933,” Heaton recalled.
“I had taught history in Panola
and Sabine county schools since
earning a bachelor of science de
gree at Stephen F. Austin State
College in 1929. Then I decided
to get an advanced degree in edu
cation.”
An advanced degree was a long
time coming, because the slender
student accepted the job of
assistant registrar on March 1,
1934.
“I resigned temporarily as a

bined Band, Battalion and Wing
Commanders attended.
Distinguished guests were Maj.
Gen. Melvin F. McNickle from
Tinker AFB, Okla., Maj. Gen. and
Mrs. Chester A. Dahlen from Fort
Sam Houston, San Antonio, Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Crichton of Dallas
and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McLaugh
lin of College Station.
“I am glad to be back on the
campus. This will be my last visit
this year,” said Dahlen, deputy
commander of the Fourth Army at
Ft. Sam Houston.
Offering congratulations to
those graduating and going into
the military, he said, “Don’t let
up during your basic training per
iod. Keep plugging away and
stay with it.”
Dahlen then commented that
often he had to write letters to
college president whose graduates
had not lived up to standards.
He happily reported that Presi
dent Rudder has not been the re
cipient of one of those letters.
“I’ve always had a tremendous
admiration for Texas A&M, and
my admiration is increasing as I
serve with more and more Ag
gies,” Dahlen remarked.
“It is most enjoyable to be
here,” McNickle said.
“It is very seldom that our
school is blessed with the pres
ence of two such gracious and
knightly gentlemen,” said Cadet
Commander Davis, as he present

sets.
student in order to learn my
duties in the registrar’s office,”
Heaton reminisced. “That fall, I
registered for a single course and
continued at that pace, one course
per term, until I got the master’s
in 1938.”
HEATON WAS one of seven
employees in the registrar’s of
fice in 1934. Thirty persons now
comprise the staff.
When Registrar E. J. Howell
was called to active duty with the
Army, Heaton was named to take
his place on July 1, 1941. Howell
later became head of Tarleton
State College.
“Growth of the University has
been remarkable,” Heaton ob
served. “Enrollment totaled 2,151
in the fall of ’33. By last fall, the
total had swelled to 10,677.”
The registrar comes in contact,
directly or indirectly, with people
all over the world, largely by cor
respondence.

munication carries the spirit of
