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.

ticing the theories in laboratories.

at Richfield High School in Waco,

fifteen semi-finalists as “Miss
Worshopper.” She was crowned

Singing Cadets
Plan Function
Jim Cain of Brownsville, vice-

has announced a hamburger party
to be held at 5 p.m. Monday, July
31, at Hensel Park for all mem
bers of the Singing Cadets.
“Members needing further de

At the request of advisors and
students, the number of speakers
was reduced to allow students
“more time for actual practice,”
according to McGuire.
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.
Workshoppers held interviews
Wednesday with Gene Stallings,
A&M Head Football Coach, and
Randy Matson, A&M’s world shot
put champion.
