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.

ABILENE,—UP>—The Eisenhow
er administration has not “fulfill
ed his promise to clean up the dup
lication, triplication and service
feudings,” in tht national defense
setup, Sen. 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.

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.

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 <be served as quickly as
possible.
Contestants will shoot in groups
of 10. Each shooter will be judged
on how r close together his two
shots are. There will be one win
ner out of each group.
“So,” Landers said, “come one,
come all. Your money will go to
a good cause, and everybody will
have a good time. The shooting
starts at 2 p.m. and will end at
8 p. m.”
