In my opinion both the corps

ces of duty and appearance of
the corps at Ft Woirth were of
the highest order and definitely
superior.’ The inarch ng was far

considering thftt the parade

the\op*ning of school and. such
a short time was alloted for drill.
The ftoft example of drill was pos

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

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

afternoon in order to coach and

doing, they gave a fine example of
Aggie courtesy and sportsmanship.
We hope to be able to repay their
