Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1955
A Second Chance
Tomorrow is election day at A&M once
more, and two classes have a chance to re
deem themselves.
All is forgiven; the Student Senate had
filings reopened for the classes of ’56 and
’57, and this time the report of the election
commission is favorable.
No indication of a primary on the part
of either army or air force was found.
Good men are candidates for positions to
be elected, and it should make no difference
whether the shoulder patch is air force or
army.
The main idea is to pick the best men—
and vote for them.
Quite a lot of tension should be relieved
by tomorrow’s voting, not only between the
army classes of ’56 and ’57 and the air force
students of these classes, but also in the class
of ’58.
It has been a long wait for them, since
they had their runoff election delayed.
And there is another important group to
be elected—the election commission. This
was their election in the first place.
Junior, sophomore, freshman—army, air
force or civilian—tomorrow’s election is the
time to settle all differences. Elect the right
man, and then back the man who wins.
But vote.

Not for years has a .22
cartridge caused so much
excitement and interest
as the New Remington
ROCKETS. They have
extra speed, you will
know it when you hear
the sharp crack, as the
special composition bul
let leaves the muzzle at
1600 ft. per second.
