Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1955 Up to Candidates The Election commission, following the dictates of the some-what confused Student Senate, has re-set the class officer elections for next year’s senior and junior classes and re-opened filings. Because of the way this was orcfered by the senate, nothing official has been done to clear away the slate of candidates and the resulting ill-feeling caused by primaries in each election. So now it’s up to the candidates. If the students in these two classes really want to have officers who can work well together and avoid any partisan tinge in the class ac tivities, they will have to do it themselves. The army students, who engineered the primaries, can file more men than their or iginal slate, which was about one in each of fice against several air force men. This will make the number of candidates about even. and allow the election to be on a fair basis of qualification. Or both sides could forget their artificial branch loyalty and vote for the best man— this would surely result in a mixed set of officers, because neither side could possibly have all the good men. And above all, the air force sophomores and juniors must refrain from trying to or ganize any primaries or otherwise fixed elec tions of their own, in an attempt at retribu tion. Such a thing could never be kept quiet, and it-is not the way to do it, anymore than a lynch mob is the proper way to combat a murderer. If the classes want to have a good organ ization next year, they’re going to have to arrange for it this year, and be honest with themselves and with the other side while they’re doing it. Tigers Enter Regional Track Golf, Tennis A & M Consolidated track, golf and tennis players will compete in the regional meet at San Marcos Saturday after last week’s district meets at Brenham and Bastoi’p. The Tigers, fourth in last Satur day’s district 69-B track meet at Brenham, will enter the broad jump, 880, mile and 440 relay. Sophomore Don Tax won the only CHS first place.as 11 records were broken in 14 events. Tax won the broad jump with 19-5 to break .the record of 19-414 » set by Virgil Mutschink of Gid- dings in 1954. Other track entrants will be J>ick Hickman, second in the 880, J. B; Carroll, second in the mile yand the third-place 440 relay team of Bobby Witcher, Bill Hall, Bobby Joe Wade and Tax. Carroll barely lost the mile race to George Vacek of Smithville, who act a new district record of 4:59.4. Other Tiger point-getters (only ^jthe first three in each, event are r^ligible for the regional meet); .VWitcher, fourth in the 100; Henry ‘ Phillips, fourth in the 220 and 440; Jack McNeely, fourth in the 880; Hall, fourth in the 180-yard low hurdles and pole vault; and the mile relay team of Hickman, Billy Mixon, Hall and Phillips, fourth. Steadman Davis, Jerry Holland, Clifton Bates and Hall won the district golf* title at Bastorp last week, the first time CHS entered a golf team. Alternate Winfred Pardue may take Hall’s place x at the regional meet since Hall is en tered in track. Betsy Burchard won the senior girls’ singles tennis title at Bas trop. She reached the state quar terfinals last year after winning the regional championship.

Lions Club Hears Art Advisor Talk Mrs. Ralph Terry, Memorial Stu dent Center art advisor, spoke to the College Station Lions club yes terday on “How to Maintain Nor mal Blood Pressure While Viewing Contemporary Art.” “The painter often has a percep tion that others do not have,” Mrs. Terry said. “Things that are pret ty and pleasant to one person may not be to another.” People are quick to criticize be cause of a lack of understanding, and often label a paintipg as bad art because they do not realize its significance or if they do under stand it, call it good work, she said.
