BUSSED AND DISCUSSED from the first time Gutt'enberg
^ first pressed ink on a piece of paper is the newspaper. It
becomes the brunt of jokes, ridicule—but let the state try
and take away the right of the press to print what it sees.
This is illustrated in the rucus that is going on in Washing
ton now because of the administrative memo passed out by
the President.
But regardless of the point of view, Newspapers are
here to stay. We are even getting the same recognition af
forded to the National Cat Club—We have a week devoted to
Newspapers.
On the light side of this great honor the Newspapers of
America have received, we print this interpretation of what
a newspaper office is. 1
A Newspaper Office Is Where People:
Call for game scores
Call for information
Call for answers to foolish questions occurring during
drinking bouts
Call for free publicity
Call for the time
Call for weather, forecasts
Call, Call, Call
Sometimes where news is written and people buy a
paper.

rrHE HOLINESS of the president was questioned recently
•*- when the Senate approved an idea eliminating income tax
exemptions for the President and Congress. We hope the
House will fall in line on this constructive measure.
As one Texas newspaper put it “There is no sound rea
son why any of the pay and allowances for other than actual
public business should not experience the deep cut of the in
come tax collector, whose powers and performances are cre
ated by Congress.”
It is quite possible the Congress is trying to put up a
show—and follow it up with a substantial increase in its
own salary. This line of reasoning brings up two points to
consider.
First, irregardless of the motives, the men in the driv
ing seats will have a chance to feel what is like to have a
tax collector staring down his bank book.
Second, if the men in Congress do give themselves a
raise—good. We cannot expect a man to starve or enter any
thing similar to a monistary just because he is working for
the people. You can’t get around the basic capitalistic the
ory—you have to pay top wages to get the top men.
This could present a problem. Congress while setting
up a new salary boost could set the figure out of proportion
to their value. But irregardless of the outcome, we can al
ways say “Well we put them there.”

Saturday Job for Dobin
fTHE THRILL of seeing your favorite nag heave into the
homestretch and win the derby is coming back to Texas.
At the Hunt County Fair in Greenville they are reviving the
old horse racing custom of the county fair. The big differ
ence in this one and the ones that used to be run in Texas
is that para mutual betting is out.
The experiment may help to show that racing can be
revived as a sport, without organized gambling. As some of
us will remember as we pass Arlington Downs near Dallas,
para mutual was oulawed in Texas about 15 years ago.
Going back into the history of Texas we find that horse
racing was a recognized sport—and this was before the $2
window was built. Maybe there is a chance for the ponies
to come back and become the “Sport of Kings” without the
blot of organized betting.

LETTERS
Quiet Corps
Editor, The Battalion:
Men, we won a ball game Sat
urday night; I said WE, but actual
ly the 12th Man had little if any
thing to do with it!
For the benefit of those who did
not attend, I’ll explain what I
mean. We arrived at the stadium
several minutes after the kickoff
because of the traffic snarl; except
for the PA system you would nev
er have suspected than an Aggie
game was in prograss, for the
Pied Type
Sweetheart Chances Enlarged
By Two Selection Groups
Who and what will be the Aggie Sweet
heart this year. This is the question that is
going around the coffee and cigarette cir
cuits here.
The thing that keeps this from being the
ing out of A&M. Before they went broke
they would either commit hari-kari or stop
the whole thing.

usual roar of a spirited 12th man run 0 f the mill type thing is that both the
was completely absent.
But this is only the beginning—
the vast majority neither talked
the game nor wildcatted on the
snap of the ball. The yell leaders
were forced to plead for a little
noise rather than seek to quiet the
12th man.
Some of us who have been
around for a while can remember
senior class and the student senate both
think they should name the Aggie Beauty.
But will this be the end of it. If the sen
ior class and the student senate both select
a queen, what is to prevent some of the
other student organizations from making the
same choice.
Take for instance: what if the North
the bleak days of the fall of ’49 Zulch hometown club took the position that
when every Saturday was a heart-
breaker—but the team didn’t quit
and neither did the 12th man. Well,
men, the first 11 men did their
job Saturday night, but we of the
12th failed miserably in ours. Who
failed? Every last senior, junior,
sophomore, and fish who left the
Cotton Bowl still able to talk.
After the ball game I heard no
“Beat the Hell outa OU” nor even
“Gig Em” echoing from the streets
of Dallas; for “Big D” lay as
quiet and dead as a cemetery al
most as if the “AGGIE SPIRIT”
were buried there. Beat the Hell
outa OU.

since the Aggie Sweetheart is the sweet
heart of all of the students, it is up to them
to pick her.
Turkey Trot’s Contribution
Red’s Second
Birthday Said
At the same time the Turkey Trot Club,
members come from Turkey Trot and the
surrounding East Texas country feel they
should make the selection. . .
This process could go on for eternity and
the annual Aggie Sweetheart selection could
become an affair as large as the annual Cot
ton Ball.
Just think . . . Two Cotton Balls in the
same year. The possibilities are unlimited.
But then the problems start coming in.
The administration at TSCW makes arrange
ments for the selection committee to eat and
sleep. What would they do if there were
1,897.4 different selection committees com-
Think of the possibilities here on the
campus. We can divide up into two factions
(more later). Half of the men could be in
favor of the senior class making the choice,
The other part would back the Student Sen
ate Social Committee.
This would become the first big argu
ment of the year and if handled properly
would rival the A&M-TU football game.
But how would the girls take it? Just
think of all of the thrilled Tessies, if 1,897.4
girls were named the Sweetheart of A&M.
The TSCW Annual would have to publish
a supplement just to handle the extra pages
usually devoted to the Aggie sweetheart.
Legislative Sweetheart
Now if we could cause enough turmoil on
the campus, it would rival anything we have
ever had here. The state legislature would
come down to make a selection of the selec
tion committee. At this point the men mak
ing the investigation could make up their
own selection committee and name the Ag
gie Sweetheart. Just think—a Sweetheart
selected by the government. It would make
us feel like Henry VII when he had his bride
chosen for him by the state.
It all becomes so wonderfully involved
we have to just stop and think about it.
