Merry Christmas
‘Twas the nig-ht before holidays and through
Aggieland,
All the Aggies were stirring — Corps, civilians
and band.
The bags were all packed and cars homeward
bound,
In hopes that girl friends, good food and home
would be found.
The Aggies made merry and stayed out of the rack,
With visions of Christmas and presents to pack.
The cars were all packed with riders along.
The Ags had the spirit with friendships and song.
When out in the quad there arose such a clatter,
They all formed up to see what was the matter.
When all to their wondering eyes did appear,
A maroon and white sleigh and eight tiny reindeer!
A Santa Clause Ag with spirit for all,
In the sleigh did arrive — strong, handsome and
tall.
Hey reindeer, and mascots and Aggies and sleigh,
Hey Santa and spirit, are you here to stay?
Said Santa to them, everyone and all,
“I came down from the heavens on a very urgent
call.”
I’ve known of your spirit that can’t be beat,
So I just had to see it from a “quadrangle” seat.
If Christmas still means lots of happiness,
You deserve it all and never any less!
So off in the sky he then did go,
Wishing Merry Christmas to the Aggies below.
Because they are all the best any place,
They got the first look at Santa Clause’ face.
And the next day, when the campus they depart,
I’ll wish them “Merry Chritmas” from the very
start.
May God always bless them and guide them all
home,
Whether north, south, east or west they do roam!
The Merriest Christmas to
each and everyone of you!
Sincerely,
Cheri Holland

New Parking Rules
Slated For Spring
THIS IS WHAT CAUSED IT
. . . crowded parking lots will force freshmen to park in South lots.
District Judge Barron Says
Society Needs Educated Men
By LANI PRESSWOOD
Battalion Amusements Editor
For the second straight year,
the Aggie Players are getting
into the Christmas spirit by pre
senting a gift to the local com
munity.
The gift is a presentation of
“The Other Wise Man,” a one-
act play in four scenes.
"The Other Wise Man” has
played five different locations
this year and two more are sched
uled. No admission is charged for
the play because it is being per
formed as a public service.
Allen Academy was the site of
the play’s opening December 5,
with a crowd of several hundred
on hand.
A runoff election Thursday
will determine freshman class
president, vice president, secre
tary-treasurer and social secre
tary officers, announced Election
Commission Chairman Harris
Pappas.
The runoff procedure will be
the same as in the initial elec
tion, with voting machines locat
ed in the basement of the Mem
orial Student Center and identi
fication cards required. The polls
will be open from 8 a.m. until 6
p.m.
Contending for the class presi
dency are Leroy W. Edwards and
John Focke III. Edwards was the
top vote-getter in last week’s
election with 187 votes to Focke’s
97.
The two finalists in the vice
president race are Richard L.
Goode and Harvey Lee Cooper.
Goode edged Cooper by a narrow
two-vote margin last Thursday.
Vying for secretary-treasurer
are Steven Lee Bourn and Doug
las M. Scott. The vote was 136 to
113 in Bourn’s favor in last
Week’s balloting.
Gaining the runoff in the so
cial secretary contest were Gary

at 4 p. m. Thursday in the Archi

will also visit Department of Pe

Another large crowd turned
out at the First Baptist Church
in Bryan two nights later. The
play was next taken to a pair of
College Station churches, St.
Thomas Episcopal and the A&M
Presbyterian Church.
The troupe took the play to
Caldwell Tuesday night and will
close out with a pair of nearby
performances, one at St. Mary’s
Student Center (Catholic) and
the other at the University Lu
theran Church.
The Players not only give in
presenting this Christmas play,
they also receive. What they re

Last week’s election which

Commission and Student Senate
representatives.
WASHINGTON (A>) — Rep.
Olin E. Teague, the father of the
GI Bill of Rights for Korean War
veterans, predicted today early
approval of a new bill which
would grant similar benefits to
American fighting men in Viet
Nam.
Teague, a Texas Democrat who
heads the House Veterans’ Af
fairs Committee, said in a tele
phone interview from Waxa-
hachie, Tex., he expected Con
gress to pass by the end of Feb
ruary a bill extending education
and home-buying benefits to vet
erans of more than 180 days’
active duty since 1955.
Such a bill already has been
approved by the Senate.
He said he hopes the Johnson
administration will retreat from
its opposition to the measure
when his committee resumes
hearings next month on the
measure.”
ence each night.
Some stages thus far have
been fairly wide. They have re
quired long entrances and the
mounting of steps before reach
ing the actual playing area. Oth
ers have been much smaller and
entrance to the playing area has
been through doors located at
the stage’s edge.
Aggies Receive
Gratitude For
Ranger Tribute
We wish to thank all of you
wonderful Aggies who were so
good to Ranger the past few
years. He made his home with
you far more than he did with
us, and we think he was his
happiest when he was a part
of your activities.
The many tributes you have
paid him, especially the final
tribute at the time of his death
and burial, will be remembered
gratefully by all of us.
“There is reason to believe
they have changed their views,”
Teague added, noting that con
ferences have been under way in
Washington to ease administra
tion objections. “We want to try
to pass something they can live
with,” he said.
Explaining why the adminis
tration opposes the bill, Teague
said: “Money is the whole thing.”
He estimated the bill would cost
several hundred million dollars in
the first year.
Like the previous bills which
helped millions of World War II
veterans go to college and buy
homes, the new bill would pay
college or vocational school ex
penses and guarantee loans for
purchase of homes, farms and
farm equipment for veterans
with more than 180 days’ active
service since Jan. 31, 1955, when
the Korean GI bill expired.
Maximum education payments

Drivers
Affected

Battalion. Staff Writer
Starting next semester
freshmen will be required to
park their cars in either of
two parking lots on the south
side of the campus. These
are known to the students as the
Navasota and Hempstead park
ing lots.
“Students who do not have 30
academic hours will be required
to park in these lots,” explained
Ed E. Powell, Chief of Campus
Security, Tuesday. “This does
not, however, affect the day stu
dent freshmen.”
There are 7,782 cars registered
for parking on campus and only
6,495 places to park.
“The freshmen will be issued
new parking permits for their
cars. This includes both Corps
and civilian freshmen students,”
said James P. Hannigan, Dean of
Students.
The Corps freshmen have been
taken care of by their upper
classmen and this helps eliminate
some of the freshmen problem
but it does not completely solve
it, Hannigan added. This still
leaves the civilian freshmen.
The new type parking sticker
for the freshmen will be some
what the same as the regular
sticker with several changes. It
will have the word “permit” on
it and the numbers will be be
tween 1 and 1,000. They will be
square as are regular stickers.
The parking lot across the
street from Sbisa Dining Hall
will be for day students and
customers of the dining hall only.
This lot is still under construc
tion and should be completed
soon.
There are plans in the making
to enlarge several of the parking
lots and surface of several more
in hopes of relieving the parking
situation as it now stands.
There are plans to enlarge the
Hempstead parking lot from the
present position to Throckmorton
Street. There are also plans of
using head-in parking along Lub
bock street.
The parking lot at the comer
of Spence and Farm Road 60
can now be used by day students.
A conference concerning the
parking situation and the park
ing lots will be held December
22. In this conference all aspects
of the parking problem will be
covered and parking surfacing
will also be discussed, Hannigan
noted.
would be $160 a month for a vet
eran with two or more depend
ents for up to 36 months. Maxi
mum guarantees of home pur
chase loans would be $7,500 for
commercial loans and $15,000 for
direct government loans where
private financing is not available.
The Senate bill, sponsored by
Teague’s fellow Texas Demo
crat, Sen. Ralph W. Yarborough,
sets a July 1, 1967, cutoff for
eligible servicemen. But Teague
said this date represents an ef
fort to hold down the cost of the
bill.
“I want a bill that would last
from now on,” he said. The Ko
rean GI bill, which he sponsored,
extended to the 1955 expiration
date the benefits originally
granted after World War II.
Teague said he expected the
final version of the bill to be
similar to the Senate and Ko
rean GI bills.
“A formal education is not
alone the criteria for an educated
man,” said District Judge John
M. Barron of Bryan.
Barron, who spoke at the
YMCA’s last program of “The
Educated Man Series,” told the
group that to be an educated
man, “balance”—controlling your
temper, being a good sport and
not criticizing constantly—comes
into the picture. He said that
a person must carry out these
qualities and make his knowledge
useful.
The judge said that he has the
opportunity from the legal stand
point to see whether a lawyer in
his profession is educated. “An
educated man has got to respect
the court. “To do justice wheth
er his client is to win or not
is the central theme.”
He remarked that after stu
dying the basic pre-law courses,
the first quality to gain is the
desire to succeed. “The burning
desire to be a good lawyer—a
professional man—is the main
criteria in becoming a success,”
he said.
Barron explained people who
are vitally interested must con
tinue to be an eager “student”
the rest of their lives. He told
the group that because law
changes he has to read books
all of the time to keep up on the
“fine points.”
“All lawyers are biased,” Bar
ron claimed. He said they must
be if they are taking a side in

a dispute. But, he also explained
that they must keep an open
mind while handling a case.
“A lawyer has to be a ham
actor at times,” the speaker add
ed. “It’s human nature for peo
ple to admire a man who puts on
an act.”
Barron added the public is gul
lible to it and the papers and
the juries like it.
The judge pointed out a per
son needs to be himself and
know himself and must constant
ly be striving to overcome his
weaknesses. He must believe in
God and the values of man and
never forget it. By not keeping
our spiritual values working,
there has been a loss of respect
Lonnie Zweiner, assistant state
Attorney General called the new
Criminal Code “revolutionary and
totally different” and explained
its implications on Texas juris
prudence to members of Sigma
Delta Chi Tuesday night.
Important clauses of the new
code deal with “due process”
which have expanded the older
concepts, he pointed out. It now
includes new interpretations of
illegal seizure, right of counsel
and illegal search. Methods of
obtaining and employing confes
sions have been revised.
“The source of all these
changes,” Zweiner said, “has been
the federal courts.” The Supreme
Court placed the restraint of
“probable cause” upon the search
and seizure procedures. The
grounds for granting search war
rants now rest upon the proof of
evident and implicit reason.
Another Supreme Court case,
Gideon v Wainright, expanded
the right of counsel to include
felony cases, where the only pre
vious requirement had been capi
tal cases. However, Zweiner said,
Texas already had this provision.
The section of the new Code
that directly affects the press
is 2.30b, which states; “it is the
duty of trial court attorneys
for the state and for the defense
to so conduct themselves as to
give the defendant a fair trial
and act in accordance with a
free press.”
Zweiner noted this provision
would place court officers in a
dilemna when a conflict of re
sponsibilities to protect the de
fer the oath, he said.
“It has become a group of
empty words,” he commented.
Barron told the audience an
educated lawyer should possess
ability to take criticism, be
graciousness with legislation in
making justice work; he must
be self-confidence and self-re
spective, trained emotions and
respect for his fellow man be
fore the law without discrimina
tion.
“Our nation is as strong today
as our educated men are,” Bar
ron remarked. He continued that
the big conflict today between
the free world and the Commu
nists is the struggle for “the
mind of man.”
fendant’s civil rights and to in
form the press arose.
He characterized the Supreme
Court as being “in a schizo
phrenic position regarding the
press” because of the conflict be
tween press freedom and the in
dividual’s right to a fair and im
partial trial.
“The Court,” he continued, “has
not really come out with a guide
line decision with cases concern
ing pretrial or trial publicity.”
The trend in the area of pre
trial publicity is from a proof of
actual harm to a standard of
“inherent harm” that presupposes
influence from press coverage.
Zweiner warned of the possi
bility of legislation to regulate
the press in court cases because
the present devices of injunction
and comtempt have not proved
effective in some cases.
The new Criminal Code will
go into effect Jan. 1, but its pro
cedural changes have already
manifested themselves, he said.
