Congratulations to the Texas A&M Women’s Team
Congratulations to the Texas A & M Women’s Basketball Team – the 2011 NCAA Champions!
This is a good time to remember of how far Texas A & M has come – after all, women were not fully accepted as students until 1971. Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry oversaw the women’s section of the student newspaper at Texas A & M while her husband Curtis was going to school there in the 1950s. Vivian became the women’s editor of the student paper because there were no male students but plenty of wives. When Vivian spoke to the university president, he told her the school would never accept women as students.
Above is a photo of Vivian in the newsroom of the Texas A&M student newspaper.
