9 Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1952 Election Procedure Solved Through Teamwork Directorate Meets in MSC Monday Night THE TEXAS STEER ¥ TPPERCLASSMEN representatives procluc- ^ ed yesterday a good working plan for the conducting of student elections. The best points brought out by the group were: • Use of secret ballot. • Working with a central polling place. Both of these are needed in conducting honest elections. The reasons also will help in arousing more interest in the elections, since a greater percentage of the voters now will be allowed to think and vote as they wish. During the meeting, one of the advisors asked the class presidents to inform their He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, ivho finds peace in his home.—Goethe Both Team, Students Face First Trial Run rpOMORROW NIGHT in Rice Stadium, Head Football Coach Ray George’s football team will be put to its first test of the year. It also will be the first trial run of the A&M Student Body in the 77th session of the college. Most of the Aggies who see the game will be in the Corps of Cadets. Their be haviour will be watched and noticed by all. “The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones.” Football fans feel this the same as the Romans in Caesar’s time. For every cheer the Aggies give the fans admiration will be present but small. Yet, should we drop our good sportsmanship be haviour which President Harrington empha sized at all college night as one of our strong est traits, the good which Aggies do will be erased. It’s true both on and off the field. In side and outside the stadium. Whether in uniform or civilian clothes. If you are an Aggie, you are representing A&M. Make others feel as proud of A&M as we do. It’s important we show we are “Soldiers, Statesmen, and Knightly Gentlemen.” I have never been hurt by anything I did 7iot say.—Coolidge. Taft, Oldtimers May Disagree CEN. ROBERT A. Taft has proved to be a ^good sport. After a little vacation and time to lick his wounds, Taft now is out blowing his tuba for Gen. Ike. It’s a good thing to see the gap closed in the Republican Party. But we don’t exactly agree with some of the notes the senator pumped out on his tuba in Springfield, O., Wednesday. We’re certain our parents guffawed the senator on one of his statements attacking the “philosophy of government spending and increased government power.” Especially when he said “Twenty years ago the last Republican administration took six per cent of the people’s income for the federal government. Today, Mr. Truman is taking 25 per cent.” We wonder if Taft remembers the value of a dollar 20 years ago as compared today. Our parents won’t let us forget.
