Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1954 That Time of Year Starting in this issue of The Battalion is a series of articles explaining the proposed amendments to the Texas constitution. Because of space limitations, we can only briefly explain what each amendment is about and give a few pros and cons. These amendments, if passed, will change some of the basic Texas law. Because of this, they are important, and each voter should know what they are about. But just as important, each voter should vote. Because Texas is essentially a one- party state, the summer primary always draws a bigger crowd than the fall election. The fall election this year is as important as the primary, mainly because of these amendments. Each citizen should vote, proud that he lives in a country in which he can help decide what laws he will live under. Absentee balloting in Brazos county has already begun, and the election is only two weeks away. A&M students who are eligible voters can write the county clerk of their home county for an absentee ballot. Amendments Proposed (Continued from Page 1) tary employees, such as water and electricity workers, under federal social security coverage. ' Several yeiars ago, a law was passed allowing these political sub divisions to put all employees un der social security. However, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that the law applied only to those em ployees needed to actually run the government of the city or town. If a city owns its water, light, gas, or bus systems, this law does not apply because those employees are not “proprietary.” The amendment is designed to equalize the status of government al and proprietary employees. The social security would still be ap proved if the local government BATTALION CLASSIFIED BUT, SKI.!., KENT OR TRADE. Katei . . . 3c a word per Insert ion with a J6c minimum.

(The other seven amendments will be discussed in Thursday’s and Friday’s Battalion.) LETTERS Editors The Battalion I must admit that “Old Aggie- land” has changed considerably— for better and for worse—-to form the “New Aggieland.” During the game Saturday with TCU, I was puzzled at the performance of the yell leaders on certain occasions. Surely it is not a new custom to have a yell while the Aggie Band is playing. If we expect the eleven men on the field to play “heads up ball,” wha say we do the same Old Army.
