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

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.
The MSC Council meeting
