The campus conflict: self vs.
roommate.
Roommates are just, by nature,
hard to get along with, but here
are some tips that will help
you win the coveted “Most Popu
lar Roommate on Campus” a-
ward:
1. Find out what kind of music
he despises and then play sever
al albums of it on your stereo.
Although he might seem very
displeased he will lated be grate
ful to you for improving his cul
tural tastes.
2. Never buy any toothpaste,
hair oil, soap, shaving cream
or deodorant. By all means,
USE these ingredients, just don’t
BUY them. By using his tooth
paste, etc., you can build up a
mutual understanding of the nec
essities of life and your span
as roommates will be complete
bliss.
3. Always put your cigarettes
out on the floor. If your room
mate is the tidy type, he will ap
preciate this gesture for they
will serve as floorsweep to ga
ther the dust when he applies
the broom each day.
4. Be sure to let him do all the
housework: sweeping, mopping,
cleaning Venetian blinds, beat
ing rugs. This will teach him
habits of cleanliness and he will
be endowed to you forever. If
you really feel generous and
really want to make him your
lifelong friend, suggest that he
make up your bed each morning.
5. Invite a crowd in for dom
inoes or poker on the night be
fore your roomie’s major quiz.
He will inevitably retire to the
library to pursue his studies. And
the next day he will thank you
for running him off, because he
might have otherwise sacked out
instead of studying.
6. Continually tell him how
great you are. This will cause
him to recognize his deficiencies
and do something about them.
Stress your popularity with the
Bill No. 290...

(5) be pursuing a course of
study leading to a graduate de
gree offered at Texas A&M Uni
versity, the undergraduate re
quirements of which can be ful
filled at Texas A&M University
but not at any other state-sup
ported college or university.”
Section 2. The importance of
this legislation and the crowded
condition of the calendar in both
houses create an emergency and
an imperative public necessity
that the Constitutional Rule re
quiring bills to be read on three
several days in each house be
suspended, and the Rule is hereby
suspended; and that this Act take
effect and be In force from and
after its passage, and it is so
enacted.

women, your many accomplish
ments, and your superiority over
him.
7. When he attempts to go to
bed early, turn up the radio so
he will find it difficult to sleep.
Too much sleep makes a person
sluggish.
8. Borrow money from him
whenever you get the chance and
always be delinquent in repay
ing. This will teach him a valu
able lesson: never lend money
to a rotten egg.
9. Lock your mate out of the
room when he takes a shower.
From this episode, he can learn
the valuable art of breaking and
entering.
10. Never invite him to partici
pate in a movie, baseball game or
party with you and the gang. He
will discover that his personality
needs adjustment and will make
this correction before he reaches
the ripe old graduation age.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I received a copy of four arti
cles which appeared in the Febr
uary 9 issue of The Battalion.
The intent of this propaganda is,
I feel, to convince those of us
protesting the continued prosti
tution of the good name of Texas
A&M to join with you and move
on to Utopia. The effort failed
as far as I am concerned, and
I will continue to resist the pro
posed changes to Texas A&M.
I did however, see a possible
out that could satisfy both Gen
eral Rudder and the Former Stu-
Congress Given
LBJ Proposal
On Right To Vote
WASHINGTON UP) — Presi
dent Johnson formally sent to
Congress Wednesday a bill de
signed to guarantee that no A-
merican will be denied the right
to register and vote on account
of race or color.
In a covering letter, Johnson
declared:
“This legislation will help rid
the nation of racial discrimina
tion in every aspect of the elec
toral process and thereby insure
the right of all to vote.”
The bill’s title proclaims that
it is: “To enforce the 15th
Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.”
That is the amendment which
declares the voting right, but
which the administration and
civil rights leaders contend has
been flouted by all sorts of tests
and qualifications and devices
imposed primarily on Negroes.
dents opposing him. It appeared
in the article by Mr. Mike Rey
nolds in which he stated: “In a
sense, a mercy killing must be
done upon old, biased structural
system so that in its gradual de
cay, it will not drag a potentially
great university down to medio
crity.”
While not in complete agree
ment with his statement, I think
he has a possible solution. Let’s
change the name, again, to the
State University of Texas, or any
name desired so long as it does
not contain the letters A&M.
By doing this we have indeed
given the A&M College of Texas
a clean death. We show mercy
in that the A&M College of
Texas is no longer related to any
actions taken by that school at
College Station, known by what
ever name selected.
With all that drag on your
“potentially great university”
eliminated, surely you do not
need the name of the A&M Col
lege of Texas to prop it up any
longer. Then you can take full
credit for the existing medio
crity, as the fruit of your labors.

An assistant attorney general
of Texas said today the “Good
Samaritan Law” passed by the
legislature in 1961 is a good
law although it has not been
tested in appellate courts.
The speaker was Ivan Williams,
a member of the State and Coun
ty Affairs Division of the At
torney General’s Office. He spoke
during a Wednesday session of
the Ambulance Drivers School
being conducted on campus.
“In effect the law changed the
common law regarding the lia
bility of passers-by in regard to
accidents. Prior to that time, an
injured person you stopped to
help could sue on a claim that
you caused his condition to wor
sen,” Williams commented.
Williams said the “Good Sa
maritan Law” provides civil im
munity for people who stop and
render aid at the scene of an
accident.
“This does not include people
who are there to make money,
as I see it,” he continued.
Williams explained there is no
law which says a person has to
stop and render aid at the scene
of an accident. “Usually, a per
son feels a moral obligation to
help and does not consider the
possibilities of civil action again
st him,” he said.
He emphasized, however, that
a person who is involved in an
accident in any way is legally
responsible for failure to stop
and render aid.
The speaker is a former stu
dent of A&M. He transferred to
the University of Texas Law
School at the end of his junior
year.
Other speakers Wednesday
morning were W. E. Naylor,
agent-incharge of the Narcotics
Section of the Texas Department
of Public Safety; Dr. T. O. Wal
ton of College Station; Royce L.
Ashcraft, director of the Division
of Hospital and Ambulance Lic
ensing, Texas State Department
of Health, and Dr. Charles Lyons,
director of student health serv
ices at Texas A&M.
