It Ca n Happen Here
^HERE’S an old saying that goes something like this: “the
truth hurts.” Evidently, some students are beginning to
realize the complete significance of that saying.
The only thing strange about the whole matter is that
these few students know their actions were illegal in the
recent Dormitory 8 Senate election. But, instead of passing
over the entire affair regarding their so-called “election,”
these choice “guardians of Aggie tradition” have seen fit
to publicly acknowledge the illegal procedures used in the
election and dare anyone to defy them.
There is also another saying, “You can fool some of the
people all the time and you can fool all of the people some of
the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
That saying will, we hope, be realized soon by students
of A&M, for the students are the ones who have been getting
the proverbial wool pulled over their eyes.
Perhaps a senior would be more qualified to represent
his fellow students on the student governing body. But, that
feeling, although it may be true does not give upperclass
