By CONRAD TWIGGINS None of the present candidates for veteran editor W capable? of doing the job justice. Consequently, I ask all the quali fied voters in school to write my name in on the ballot. If I am elected, eye will straighten this place up, and do it right. If I am elected, I promise tq re turn the Ban to its old three-times a week schedule. None of this everyday stuff. I am unalterably opposed' to printing girls pictures in the Batt. A&M is a MAN’s school and should remain as such. When I am editor, the Batt will not even mention females. My platform for election is based on a return tq the norm alcy of 1939, In those good old days this was a real school and was untainted by the present day "culture.” It will be that way again if 1 carry the field. My editorial policy wdll have as its goal to restrict the scholarship honor societies to members of. the cavalry contingent only. The present regime, and the as pirant candidates go too far afield in finding news to print. I am not interested in anything that hap pens farther away than Wellborn, Snook, or Brenham. All this na tional news is un-Texan and will be banrted from the paper If I am chosen editor. ! . Of a purely local nature is: the 1 pie situation — I favor larger j slices of pie in all restaurants. Further, 1 am campaigning on a ! program of ’‘shorter skirts and longer Shoulder straps.” Now, I should like to deal in some personalities no that the voting public can see for itself ii i ; that I am the beet qualified for the editorship. Kenneth B|m(, one of the other candidates, wias so the story goes, a “gray-market speculator.” Na turally and logically, sue!? a man is not the sort Ranted as editor of the Batt. He is but a front for the vested interests Art Howard, ;a second candidate for the lofty position, is a tool of the athletic department. His form er job as spprts editor is conclu sive proof of tlhis shameful rela tionship. Bill Billingsley, the third avow ed seeker of the editorship; has, and I am sojry to say it but the truth must ! b^ known, political leanings that ntake him the favor ite candidate! of the Texas Com munist Partyj and Joe Stalin. With my own ears I once heard him say that our pofjtajl system 'is social istic. Anyone' who would say such irresponsible - and nasty things about one of ojur most democratic Institutions shquld never be editor of the Batt.! i ; I have volbnteercd to take this added burden on my shoul ders purely from altruistic mo tives. I did not choose to run, but when oUe?s duty Ls so plain ly evident,: One cannot shirk just because it’s easier. However, if will require the help of all you good Twiggins troop ers, I call upbii ray good friends-r- the two percenters, the day dodg ers (if any remain), and anti-cul- turists—to sjee that I’m elected. We must rally around the Twig gins flag HRl'K strong in order to remove tin’ CuRure menace. Be sure and vofe, VOTE, VOTE!

Consolidated Gets Commendation In Education Report By JAMES STROOPE Bill Billingsley i which they ■teraii eo-crfito ■eft; announced ' Platforms on running for vete The Battalion w terday by the' three candidates: and A&M Consolidated school offi cials have received a commenda tory report for thei year 1947-48 after the,, visit of P. L. Chism, Deputy State Superintendent, De partment of Education for Dis trict 14. The report in part follows: “Ap parently this school is operating a first-class educational program, j Kg^' been slighted in the past, and Its philosophy is consistant with., all advocate more local editorials, the principles of American dep*6-, Billingsley’s platform is below: Bill Billingsley..Kenneth Bond Art HotVaX^ / All thm: call fojr more re sentativiC* news coverage, feeling i thaUgbitain schools or departmjents • i have' b( pre- 1 1 i9 y ,1 ii m l ■ vnt; J j Nil i ' m r - '■ 1- !• cracy as reflected in a friendly spirit of cooperation between staff and student throughout the school system. The schooLprogram is well planned and it-Ts efficiently and effectively operating. “The beaching staff is above the fe in academic training and teacher is assigned work in major and/ or minor field of preparation. Examination of ex hibits of subjects taught reflected both ability and interest of teach ers and pupils.” v The school was given credit in chemistry, metal work, and chorus this year. Chism commended th& patrons for the interest manifest ed in maintaining an efficient and progressive educational program as shown by the results in the recent tax raise and bond issue. The entire faculty of A&M Con solidated School was reelected at a recent meeting of the School Board, and only minor changes will be necessary to begin the 1948 -49 year, according to Superinten dent A. M. Whitis, If I am chosen cp-editor of] the Battalion I will attempt to do three particular things: Talk with, and obtain the view points of, as many pf the different groups in the college as I can in order to make the Batt as nearly This all everybody’s paper as possible, does not mean I Will follow conflicting advice 1 ireceive. Continue and further the recent ly inaugurated policy of having an editorial' board, made up of ten varied individuals, formulate edi torial policy. This will avoid ( the evil of one or two men, despite exceptional personal abilities, mis handling or even qeglecting ^Ito- gether matters they know little about. Tend strictly the thousand headwriting, ment, and copy pushing, that are required to put out a top-notch paper and leave the handling of the college to the men who are paid for and better qualified for that action than 1 urn. -.v !•• rtrt i4 Kenneth Bond If elected veteran Battalion edi tor I will favor: j Each of the 4 schools being rep resented in newsj coverage on an equal proportional basis. Two-thirds of the editorial col umn being dfevoted to campus and local subjects. (The other portion will cover national and internation al subjects.) Increasing, the! size of paper to 6 pages in order to give more complete coverage in news, pictur es, and comics. [ Eventually publishing a morning instead of aiv evening edition. A concerted drive to improve the quality of streets and roads about the campus. Accelerating the renovation and building prbgranj. Showing more first-run movies at Guion. Rating of instructors and a con certed effort to regenerate) or re move the definitely undesirable ones. ; ■ [ Advocating publicity campaigns and programs to get MORE FIRST RATE ATHLETES to enroll at A&M.
