Next Not., 8, Aggielandej-S of voting age will journey to the polls to apprbVe or disapprove of ten amendments to, our state con stitution. Since a number of people in the area seem to be hazy on the subject of constitutional amendments, The Battalion is-presenting a series of aiitteles explaining in everyday language some of the argu ments for aildj against the various amendments. Topics will be pre sented in thajt order in which they will appear on your ballot. All Aggies who are not residents of Brazos County and who will' pot be at home for the election will have to vote by absentee bal lot. These ballots are generally obtained by requesting them frbm the county c|e|rk of one's resident county. Probably ! the person requesting (an absentee ballot will have to send twentyjfjlve cents with his request to cover mailing costs. Defin itely a poll (ax receipt must be sent with the request before the bal lot will be mailed to the prospective voter. Promptness is necessary in writing for absentee ballots since most bounties require that the ballots be Returned to the countv clerk two weeks before the election date. This time requirement probably varies (from one county ” to another, however. Number one slot on the ballot is held by a proposal allowing coun ties to set Up ciyil service systems for their employees.' There doesn’t seem to be much opposition to this amendment, ex cept possibly I from a few of the county officials now in power. An ex amination pfttterned after our national civil service examination should permit the bounties to set up a fair basis for the selection and advance ment of itsl personnel. ; [ j I f i ’ 4 A counjty civil service system would make county employees less subject to the fluctuations df local politics, and should serve to give ! the indivjdt all counties a more efficient organization. Following the parade and fol lowing my return from Ft. Worth, I have; receithfd numerous compli mentary comments. One outstand ing Aggie stated that he had nev er seen the cadets perform so well. : \| J • i : Another Aggie (graduated about fifteens years ago),'who was on the committee for the arrange ments In Ft. Worth was well pleas ed with the whole! out^pme. He has written to me the past year about the; corps going to the dogs and places south. He wrote; in part, *Th4 parade and the entire weekend activities were as fine as I have ever seep by- the corps.’ I khow it took a lot for this old Aggie to admit the modem day Aggie was as good as they were in .■ ' * . . the (old day* and he certainly would not have said this if he did hot me*n every word. Thanks should also M given to the faculty, and students at TSCW for the thoughtfulness and gener osity they showed dufing the week end. Their help made the Weekend indeed a success. Col. It. L. Hoatner Commandant and I’MB&T It isv 8 lions, such the propoppd ificaot thaf practically all politically-minded organiza- huaincssmen’S clubs, which have expressed opinions of amendments have come out in favor of this proposal. I- Persohs, like those who offered their blood to help out two strangers in a crisis, are the cornerstones of a decent, good willed, neighborly world. In their lives there will probably be many other Volie Scientists Club Elects Officers — Editor, The Battalion: We woul i like to express our sinepre thinks, to the Aggie fenc ing team for coming to LSU andi giving us such a fine demonslra-j tiori^ Your team gave up a whole afternoon in order to coach and demonstrate for our club.
