An Open Letter
To The Editor
Dear Editor
Out of the many organizations
on the campus of H-SU the B.S.U.
is the strongest and most likely
the most effective. This worthy
organization has contributed to
the life of the campus not only
spiritually but in many other
generous and lasting ways BUT
it is my opinion that the effec-
tiveness of this organization has
been generally and definitely re-
pelled by their recent process of
selection of officers.
As I see it the B.S.U. is a very
representative part of the student
body as a whole. If this is so
why should the "elite" be per-
mitted to appoint the people who
will represent the student body
in the capacities of leadership in
such a vital part of student life?
How effective can leadership be
when it is obtained in this way?
Surely out of the approximately
sixteen hundred Baptist students
on the campus there arc at least
two persons who are capable for
each position. Who is most likely
to be able to select the proper
leaders? The government authori-
ties and people who have spent
a lifetime of research seem to
assure us that the proper process
ot selection of "leaders is the
opinion of popular poll. Why then
.can't we adopt their policies in-
stead of allowing the "clique"
to control this selection.
It is my contention that the
process of obtaining these im-
portant leaders was not demo-
cratic and therefore far from Bap-
tistic. The initial Baptist principle
is democratic to the "core" and
we have prided ourselves on this
for centuries. Has the socialistic
trend crept into our Baptist heri-
tage? Frankly I think this "election"
is an imposition on the intelli-
gence of any grown up university
student. I am sure the leaders
would feel much easier about
their positions if they had been
cnosen by the whole instead of a
small group. Surely the least the
committee could have done was
give us a choice. Let's do not in-
fringe upon the right of selecting
the people who shall lead us es-
pecially in such a valuable part
of our student life as the B.S.U.
certainly is.
Respectfully
Jim C. Goodman.

Colleges Still Use Quota
Systems to Discriminate
New Yoik March 28. Al-
though college students are over-
whelmingly opposed to the quota
system it is still being used by
many colleges to bar entrees on
the basis of race and religion
charges Arnold Forster Civil
Rights Director of the Anti-
Defamation League in the issue
of Look magazine released today.
Administrators of liberal arts
colleges questioned were remark-
ably unanimous in condemning
the quota system yet study of
the application forms of 518 col-
leges disclosed that over 92 per-
cent contained at least one ques-
tion which could lead to discrimi-
nation. In October 1949 two letters
were sent to each accredited lib-
eral arts college in New York
New Jersey Pennsylvania and
Connecticut one signed by an ob-
vious "Jewish" name and one by
a "non-Jewish." Of the total 100
forty-one responded differently to
the "non-Jewish" letter.
In a survey just completed on-
ly one out of 10 seniors expressed
preference for colleges which dis-
criminate. An encouraging num-
ber of students did not want to
set any limits short of actual in-
termarriage to their association
with minorities. Almost 80 per-
cent of the non-Jewish seniors
said it would make no difference
to them if a member of a minor-
ity group worked beside them and
almost 70 percent would be will-
ing to entertain any of them in
their homes.
The low index of prejudice on
the campus is apparently how-
ever not the result of college edu-
cation concludes the Look article
since the incidence of prejudice
among seniors is largely the same
as tnat tor iresnmen.
The Look article by Arnold
Forster is taken from nis forth-
coming book "A Measure of Free-
dom" which will be published on
April 10 by Doubleday.
Fifth Screen Tour
To Be Shown Wed
Have you ever wondered what
an egret a spoonbill or a black
skimmer looks like in its native
environment? Or desired to see
some of the Navajo country in
Arizona densely populated with
desert flowers and snow-capped
mountains as a backdrop?
Those are only a small part of
the screen tour you will see
Wednesday April 12 if you come
to Abilene High Auditorium at
8 o'clock p. m. There the fifth
lecture will close the season of
the Audubon Screen Tours. Last
tour time 1000 attended the show
to view some of the wonders of
nature. Only 127 cities in the
United States have access to this
film. Next year five more tours
will be presented to Abilene resi-
dents. Comprising more than three
million acres the Audubon sanc-
tuaries are patrolled by automo-
bile by boat on horseback afoot
and airplane . . . during the criti-
cal breeding and nesting seasons.
Alexander Sprunt Jr. formerly
of Soutli Carolina has been in-
terested in wildlife and problems
of conservation since he was a
boy working as a volunteer in
the Museum of Charleston S. C.
His scientific articles and stories
have appeared in magazines over
the nation.
Other scenes and places the au-
dience of April 12 will have op-
portunity to "screen tour" are:
Grand Canyon Monument Valley
Colorado River in Utah erosion
remnants in Arches National
Monument Mesa Verde Wyom-
ing's Grand Tctons and Yellow-
stone Park. Animals such as the
moose their calves and black
bear will be seen. Birds and buf-
falo and grizzly bear will appear
on the film.
No admission will be charged.
That time again is 8 o'clock
Wednesday April 12 at Abilene
High Auditorium.

MADDOX SPEAKS
ABOUT CIGARETS
"Why don't cigarette manufac-
turers tell you the truth about
their products?" Asked Dr. Gor-
don Maddox noted nicotine au-
thority from Denton who spoke
to the Hardln-Simmons chapel
audience Tuesday morning. "Why
don't they just say 'We are sell-
ing you poison but ours is less
poisonous than that of our com-
petitors " he pointed out.
Maddox who has used white
rats for his research on health
hindrances and sterility caused
by nicotine pointed out a num
ber of facts about its harmful
effects on the human body. Forty-
four per cent of our homes are
childless and a great number of
this Is because of nicotine steril-
ity he said. White rat tests show-
ed that those exposed to tobacco
inhalation equivalent to what
would be a package of cigarcts a
day for human beings were three
times more sterile than the other
rats. Also that rats not exposed
to these fumes were 15 per cent
heavier than those which were.
Maddox quoted figures which
showed that 1700000 persons
now living die of cancer due to
cancer of the tongue throat or
vocal chords because of smoking.
"If you would increase your
chances of being one of these just
continue to smoke cigarcts.
