The Battalion PAGE 2 ..... College Station (Brazos County), Texas Wednesday, October 17, 1956 Hoping for the Best Today and on into the night until the ballots are counted, almost 100 candidates for Student Senate positions are anx iously awaiting the results of the general election being held in the MSC. Most likely, each of these candidates has high hopes of being elected and greater plans yet of the good he will ac complish if he is elected. Naturally it is important for these coming 43 new sena tors to be filled with enthusiasm. But it is even more important that this enthusiasm re main throughout the year and not diminish after the first few meetings. This year, the senators have even a bigger job than last year. They will be starting the year behind schedule under a revised constitution with more power than ever before. With the elimination of the Student Life Committee dur ing the summer, additional duties and responsibilities have been given to the Senate. Since the greater majority of these men will be new to the Senate, we can only hope as to their capabilities. They at least .have no difficult job ahead in maintaining the ability of previous Senates. Whether or not they quickly reach last year’s level and then climb higher, as they surely should do, remains to be seen. A lot will depend upon the president they choose. A weak president with a strong group of senators will make a mediocre showing as will a strong president with a weak Sen ate. But a weak president coupled with a weak Senate will accomplish nothing but the justifiable disgust and distrust of the student body. 1ITTLE MAN ON CAMPaS by ftfcE 7 BibT<*r 'WHAT'6 THI5 X A0OUT ££1N' ON PROBATION^ fiho TONY E¥tARTIN sS-sow TEX Featuring an All-Star Variety Cast music bv BENEKE and Ins renowned orchestra SWEET—“The Petticoats” — Girls Trio.

Stuart Symington told a Democratic rally last night. “Instead there is more duplica tion, more waste and more service feuding now than there was in 1952,” the Missouri senator said in a speech prepared for delivery at a $100 a plate fund raising din- ner. The 200 places for the dinner had been sold out for several days. It was the kickoff for a three- week statewide mass appeal to Texas Democratic voters by seven United States senators called in to battle during the closing weeks of the Stevenson-Kefauver campaign here. At a news conference, Syming ton was asked for comment on a demand by the Democrats for Eis- enhoAver organization to explain why he voted against Texas on the tidelands. He replied that his vote was “a matter of record” that the bill had become law four years ago and that he was surprised the matter should be brought up noAV. “It AAmuld seem more appropiate for them to ask what the admin istration has done to help Texas farmers and ranchers in the drought,” Symington said.

M. $2.00 — Stag or Drag — $2.00 Letters to the Editor To The Editor, I read the latest editorial in the Battalion and I would like to make a few remarks on that topic. In my opinion, the word non-reg has come into the Aggie vocabu- lary in its true sense in the last few years. By this I mean since military training has not been compulsory at the A&M College of Texas. In my opinion a “scroungy” non- reg is a person who is physically qualified to be in the Corps of Ca dets and who has not already ser ved his time in the service of our country. This great institution, as far as I’ve ever known, has been extreme ly proud of its graduate students, veterans and handicapped and their initiative to continue their education. I have never heard any cadet of any class gripe about these stu dents, but for the rest of the non- reg students, the Corps holds the same feeling as a certain high ranking Air Force instructor. Why ? Because they fail to carry out many of our great school’s tra ditions such as yell practice, whip ping' out and many others. Sure it is a fact that sophomores and freshmen are made to carry out many of our traditions but these are the traditions that made this school the greatest of its kind. In my opinion, and I believe that I speak for most of the Corps of Cadets, the true non-reg can never be in the same class as a cadet. I am sure that I speak for the Corps and that “certain high rank ing Air Force instructor” in hoping that our graduate students, veter ans and physically handicapped were not offended, and if they were, we, the Corps of Cadets of fer our apologies. Robert C. Tinsley ’59 Turkey Shoot Set Nov. 19 At Stadium The second annual Turkey Shoot will be held by the Range and For estry Club at Kyle Field on No vember 19, said Fritz Landers, president, at a recent club meeting. Landers pointed out that the pur pose of the turkey shoot is to raise money for the club. The funds will be used to send the club’s Plant Identification Judging Team to compete in the annual contest at the National Meeting of the So ciety of Range and Forestry at Great Falls, Montana, later in the year. Last year the club’s team, financed by a similar turkey shoot, took top place in the nation in this event. New Benefit Act Will Begin Jan. 1 A New Survivor Benefits Act will go into effect Jan 1, accord ing to G. T. McMahan, Veterans Administration Center Manager. This will affect only those depend ents of deceased veterans who died of causes connected with the ser vice. “This new’ act will not affect or change death benefits not due to service,” McMahan pointed out. “VA will notify each person re ceiving death compensation under the present program concerning his rights under tht new law,” he added. McMahan went on to request that widows, guardians of orphan children and dependent parents to contact VA for information con cerning the new law. These peo ple will VHAR'S TH' TV.
