THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1974
Holiday Review
Interim editor named
Rod Speer was appointed interim editor of the Battalion
following the resignation of Mike Rice during the last days of the fall
semester.
Rice resigned Dec. 19 after putting out the final edition of the
Battalion for the fall semester. His resignation was formally accepted
that afternoon by the Student Publications Board.
No reason for resigning was listed in the letter and Rice was
unavailable for comment.
Speer, a junior journalism major, will serve as editor until the
board officially appoints a new editor. Applications are available
through Jan. 29 for the position.
The board will select an editor for the spring semester during the
week following the application deadline, said Jim Lindsey, director of
student publications and chairman of the board.
Scholarly press planned
Frank H. Wardlaw, director of the University of Texas Press since
its establishment in 1950, will join A&M next fall to head a new
scholarly press, announced TAMU President Jack K. Williams.
The new operation, to be known as the Texas A&M University
Press, will include a general book publishing program with emphasis on
books in fields coinciding with the university’s principal academic
strengths and books designed to serve Texas and the Southwest, Dr.
Williams noted.
Wardlaw’s appointment is effective Sept. 1. His title will be
director of the Texas A&M University Press.
Library director resigns
John B. Smith, TAMLFs director of libraries, has announced his
resignation, effective May 31, to accept a position as dean of library
services and director of libraries at State University of New York at
Stony Brook.
Smith has headed the TAMU libraries for three years and has
been a member of the staff since 1966.
Prior to joining the TAMU library, Smith was assistant law
librarian at Columbia University. The College Station native is a 1960
TAMU graduate and 1963 graduate of the Columbia University School
of Library Service.
Energy line service set up
As an aid to newsmen, the Texas Engineering Experiment Station
is offering an Energy Line information service.
Energy Line will handle information concerning research and
development in areas of energy production and consumption, according
to TEES Associate Director Harry E. Whitmore.
TEES is also ready to assist government and industry with
information and research on energy problems, said Whitmore.

Calm asked for in Rice game
It appears that the forthcoming
basketball game with Rice Uni
versity on January 26 is being
built up in the minds of the
TAMU sports fans as a “battle
ground of vindication,” vindica
tion for the mistreatment of our
basketball team by Rice fans last
season and vindication for Rice’s
tacky band performance regard
ing TAMU at half time this past
football season. I do not think
that TAMU sports fans should
degrade themselves by putting
themselves on the same level as
the Rice fans through resorting to
misconduct or unsportsmanship at
the basketball game. I say let our
team do the talkin’ on the basket
ball court!
I have witnessed many college
and university sporting events,
but none of the student bodies
representing those competing
schools, in my estimation, has
equalled the school spirit shown
here at A&M. However, school
spirit, if misdirected, can be self-
defeating and a detriment to the
very thing to which it is intended
to benefit.
TAMU sports fans are not held
in high esteem around the South
west Conference. Past behavior
by Aggies at sporting events has
branded A&M with uncompli
mentary names and an unfavor
able reputation. This future Owl-
Aggie confrontation merits some
real soul searching by many Ag
gie fans, especially the extremists

spoil the whole barrel.” Victory

So let us take a step forward in

We would like to express our
thanks and appreciation to all stu
dents and especially the band
members who made the effort to
come back to school during the
holidays and attend our basket

The attendance, response and
enthusiasm of those students was
overwhelming and gave us an
added incentive to play an in
spired game against SMU.
We thank you all again for
your efforts and hope we can re
ward such great fans with a suc
cessful season.
