The popular ballot is a valuable and
cherished American tradition. The intelli
gence with which we use it determines the
strength of our government and our coun
try. Now is the best time we can think of
to learn how to use it properly.
The wisdom of our choices tomorrow
will be reflected by A&M’s reputation next
year. ,

this mean |we can forget about the

The "swarms of flies’’ is an
other point which is magnified
too highly. Since last September
I have frequented the cattle pehS

been bothered by flies. I don’t
even remember seeing any. Of
course, j they may be slightly
worse in summer, but I dare say
no worse than any other place
along Texas highways.
The trouble Is. wc fall down In
making the place more attractive.
Instead of doing away with our
present livestock area, we need to
modernize our barns and equip*
ment. We need to take more pride
in our livestock, and capitalize on
the fact that they are located in
a prominent position on the cam
pus. The beautifying and modern
izing of these areas is not only
good advertising, but it is neces
sary if A&M expects to Keep ahead
of other large agricultural colleges.
On the contrary to the editor’s
opinion, I say we need to improve
the present livestock areas much
more than we need to build a golf
course.
