City Council Drops Name Change Idea Like the hero at the end of an old western the proposed name change of Colleg-e Station rode slowly into the setting- sun Mon day night as the College Station City Council decided to let the issue die. It seems that the people of College Station are more than happy with the name they have and want no part of a new one. “The views of several respon sible citizens prompted me to sug gest a name change,” Mayor D. A. Anderson said at the meeting. "I promised to bring it up and I did. Well, we brought it up tonight and we killed it. It will get no more consideration from this council.” Anderson’s statement was greeted by applause from those attending the meeting. The idea of changing the city’s name was brought up in a council meeting earlier this month and received statewide attention when The Battalion published an edi torial publicizing the proposed change. Even the University of Texas got into the act when the Texas alumni offered two end zone tickets to the Texas A&M-Texas football game to the person who picked an appropriate name for College Station. The A&M Former Students As sociation then replied that since the UT-exes couldn’t afford more than two end zone tickets, the Aggie-exes would do their best to help them and offer four-fifty- yard line seats for the best names. The tickets will go unclaimed because College Station is going to remain College Station until death do it part.

The lone speaker for this year’s Workshop was Professor Dave Cheavens, director of Baylor Uni versity’s Journalism Department. Speaking to Workshop students Wednesday, Cheavens said, “Jour nalists should seek and wield power that comes with knowledge and understanding motivated by the drive to help man as he struggles for handholds on the ladder of civilization.” Cheaven, urging the journalists to seek a college education, said, “Intellectual development is only one of the terms describing what the college experience should hold for you.” Cheavens described college as a place where future journalists face a challenge and opportunity to measure responsibility as fact finders, truth seekers, educators, stimulators, inspirers, molders of opinion, and viewers with alarm. “Many newspapers today are rendering enormous public service in depth reporting and analysis,” Cheavens remarked, “by men ade quately trained, and 99 per cent of those who do the job are college trained.” The speaker said it is the jour nalist’s job not only to report the violence and ugly spot news no matter where, but also to dig below the surface and discover a solution to problems deeply root ed in man’s nature and behavior. The Workshop is divided into divisions. These are for begin ning and advanced yearbook staffs and advertising, newspaper and photography students with varying degrees of experience.
