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

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.
