EDITORIAL
A Major Victory
In a January report by 12 Texas newspaper, executives, the
right of THE DAILY TEXAN, student newspaper of the Uni-
versity of Texas, to have complete editorial freedom was em-
.jiiiatically endorsed. -
\ In part, the report stated; "The right to express unpopular
Views is fundamental to the tradition of academic freedom. A
publication such as THE TEXAN is vital as a tool in the learn-
ing process." "In regard to errors that might be made by the
staff in the course of their work: "Inevitably, mistakes in
judgement will be made. Yet the very commission of errors
is part of'the process of learning and maturing. In the case of
a student publication, such errprs should not be regarded as
cataclysmic." ;
In addition to settling the'long-standing controversy be-
tween the University of Texas Regents and THE TEXAN, the
distinguished committee'also made several other recommenda-
tions aimed at improving the organization and administration
of the publication. These included: raising the salaries of stu-
dent editors and' assistants and the hiring of a professional
journalist,/as editor-in-chief. -
THE J-TAC is not surprised that the board decided to rule
■for the THE DAILY TEXAN in the affair, and it congratulates
the University Regents for showing enough courage to accept |
the board's recommendations. Newspaper freedom is part of |
America's basic heritage. If school officials are empowered to |
control rigidly the so-called "student publications" of Ameri- |
ca's colleges and universities, why can't the free press be §
eqflally controlled by the government or a specified censor- g
Ship agency?
THE J-TAC congratulates the THE DAILY TEXAN, but we
more heartily congratulate these 12 men and the University
Regents for their cooperation and foresight in the matter.
THE DAILY TEXAN is one of America's finest student pub-
lications.
Now it will continue to grow.
Is Tarleton Ready?
Registration continues to set new records at Tarleton. As
of Friday evening, 1,722 students had enrolled, with late regi-
stration to last through Feb. 15.

coupled with a fine academic rating, put the College in an
excellent position for continued physical expansion.
To meet the requirements of an steadily increasing student
s fcody, Tarleton must make plans to extend present construc-
tion. These plans, which now ihclude $1,675,000 in state aid
for air conditioning, repair, and the construction of a new
^omen's dorm and additional classroom space and a $300,000
ij arm-type apartment complex to be built by an Odessa firm.
