th The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Tuesday, April 2, 1957 Main Thing Is to Vote Today is a day of decision for the voters of Brazos County as it is for voters all over Texas. For the first time in Texas since the Civil War a Re publican is a strong contender for U. S. Senator. The Democratic Party lines are well drawn between the traditional states’ rights., conservatives and the liberals of the National Democratic Party. Here in College Station, young people have begun to organize a Young Republican group favoring the Repub lican candidate for the Senate. A similar Democratic group should begin to form. All of these developments point more and more toward a two party state which many people believe is long overdue. One question voters will have to answer is whether they are going to vote for either a liberal or conservative Demo crat and keep the Senate in Democratic hands or elect a Re publican to possibly switch the control. They also must ask themselves who will serve the best interests of Texas, a traditionally Democratic state, and who in their opinion will represent Texas in a way that will aid long-needed progress for the state. That’s the picture roughly. Liberal or conservative Democrat, or Republican, vote as you will, but VOTE. Letters to the Editor Editor, The Battalion: A&M is fortunate in having a recently remodeled hospital. The efficiency of this remodeled (in terior) plant is also supposed to be better. However, though the plant it self may be more efficient, the personnel certainly is not. I base this statement upon a personal ob servation and I hope it does not reflect the general character of the hospital personnel. The waiting room was crowded and it was obvious that the nur ses had their “hands full.” Then, like a child, one of the student at tendants threw a monkey wrench into the procedure by starting a half hour long bit of horseplay with the nurse. He took a $5 bill she had given him for change, which belonged to a student wait ing his Salk vaccine injection and then refused to return it. What followed can only be de scribed as the height of puerility. While several students waited for treatment the nurse and two stu dent attendants giggled, wrestled and neglected their duty for al most 30 minutes. If anyone had been in need of quick medical attention he would probably still be waiting for it. This is not meant to be a per sonality slam, but instead to strike the serious note that a hospital is no place for this kind of adoles cent behavior. A chain is only as good as its weakest link or a hos pital as good as its personnel.
