BATTALION EDITORIALS. . . Our Liberty Depends on the Freedom of the Press, And It Cannot Be Limited Without Being Lost . . . Thomas Jefferson

Welcome SCONAApproximately 150 delegates and speakers from Canada,

Mexico and all parts of the United States arrived today for the fourth Student Conference on National Affairs. We’re mighty proud of SCONA and of Texas A&;M and we welcome the visitors from all of North America to our campus.

We have good reason to be proud of SCONA: it’s the biggest (naturally, being in Texas) and the first conference of its kind in the Southwest. At no other one meeting in this area is there such an array of speaking talent on world af­fairs—nor is there a student conclave of this proportion elsewhere.

Purpose of the conference is to promote enlightened and responsible citizenship through free discussion of cruitial issues—to this end it has been successful in years past. Only by increasing the number of students seeing and hear­ing the discussions could this end be furthered.

This year’s conference promises to be the best ever: the men of Texas A&M can well be proud to be hosts to such a program of democracy in action. . .

Letters To The EditorThe Battalion welcomes letters to the editor hut reserves the right to edit letters for brevity, clearness and accuracy. Short letters stand a better chance for publication since space is at a premium. Unsigned letters will not be published. . .

Editor,The Battalion:

Several of my constituents have contacted me in a shocked state about the wounding- of an A&M student by a Texas University student during the Thanksgiving weekend.

This was the general consen­sus—although the A&M student was on private property, and was bent on the destruction of an “Aggie Sign”, it was felt that in the heated TU-A&M rivalry there is a quasi—“gentlemans’ agree­ment”—whereby the students of both schools may “raid” the cam­pus of the other school and de­stroy spirit signs, steal various mascots, and paint various signs within discretion.

It was also felt that the de­fense against such “raids”, again in accord with the “gentlements’ agreement”, does not include the use of bodily harm, except in cases of self-defense against bod­ily harm.

I pointed out that the point in law is that a man may protect his property, but that he may not injure the aggressor until he has tried every other means avail­able.

This is to let A&M students know that some students at the University of Texas do not con­done a coward for shooting a man in the back from a darkened doorway or window.

Editor,The Battalion:

Friday a thidf entered my room in Walton and stole my bill­fold and my roommate’s.

The two wallets contained about $100 and apparently, the person stealing the money needed it. But I wonder if he needed the valuable papers in the bill­folds. Many of them will be hard to replace and some can never be duplicated.

If the person concerned would be so kind as to leave them where they can be found or send an un­signed letter to the Campus Se­

curity or The Battalion telling of their location, we would be thankful for small favors.
