The Bullulion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Tuesday, May 7, 1957 Vote for the Future Tomorrow’s election could mean the beginning of the end for the annual squabbles between Corps and Civilian students and begin an era of cooperation in which future Aggies will no longer be “lousy non-regs” and “boy scouts” but all Aggies in the truest sense. The key to such a bright future lies in the hands of every voter who goes to the polls tomorrow. He may use the key to open the door to a better Aggieland or discard it and keep the school in the same rut of prejudice and strife. Aggies with their school’s best interests at heart will VOTE FOR INTEGRATED RESERVED SEATING for Corps and Civilian juniors and seniors. Thereby they will open the door to the unity and cooperation so badly needed among Corps and Civilian students. Opponents to the plan have been able to think of no reason against the plan except they say .“the unity of the Corps would be destroyed.” Which is more important for A&M’s good, the future of the Corps, which will grow dimmer and dimmer barring war, or the future of the A&M student body made up of every student, Civilian and Corps? The main thing hindering a closer relationship between the two factions is misunderstanding. Any student who has been in the Corps and later becomes a Civilian will vouch for that or vice-versa. Even students of one faction who have opportunities to work with those from the other soon realize misunderstanding is the only real barrier. Creating the badly needed understanding would be the result of a vote FOR integrated seating. TJiis is shown by how much better Civilian and Corps students act toward each other at out-of-town games where everyone sits to gether. There the AGGIES yell for their team on the field not the Civilians and Corps. Every Aggie enrolled in the College should go to the polls tomorrow and in the privacy of the voting machines cast their vote for the Aggieland of the future where all Aggies “stand together” in keeping with the famous Aggie theme. Intramural Dinner Intramural managers, athletic officers and their assistants will be honored with a barbecue Wed nesday evening at 6:30 in the Grove. “This is going to be a final ap preciation barbecue for everyone who has helped so willingly in our athletic program,” remarked Bar ney Welch, Intramural Director. We want this to be informal so we have obtained permission to have all the Corps members come in civilian clothes.” Welch said awards of sweaters and watches will be given to the intramural managers and tie clasps will be awarded to the athletic of ficers. Several guests who have shown an interest in the athletic program and aided in it will also be pres ent, according to Welch. .cSOV) GOT771 Go oil ^ 0T G0 FlR5r C/j "an insurance policy FOR ANY 5\Zi HALO'' EUGENE RUSH- - COLLEGE STATION,TEXAS ^ AGGIE SPECIAL ^ YOUK CHOICE Chicken Fried Steak Pan Fried Steak Breaded Veal Cutlet Hamburger Steak with Onions With Baked Potato or French Fries and Salad — Only 150 — Also Featuring Our Very Special PRIME RIB STEAK, 1 FUEL POUND Charcoal Broiled With Baked Potato, Onion Ring and Home Made Pie Coffee or Tea — $2.00 — TRIANGLE DRIVE IN DINING ROOM MIDWAY The Battalion The Editorial Policy of The Battalion Represents the Views of the Student Editors The Battalion, dally newspaper of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas and the City of College Station, Is published by students In the Office of Student Publications as a non-profit educational service.

LETTERS Editor, The Battalion: It appears that the significance of Silver Taps is becoming less meaningful due to the fact that many students were in their rooms last night during this occasion. Giving tribute to one of our lost Aggie buddies should be one of our most honored events. By at tending' Silver Taps Xve sIioav re spect and display our moral val ues. But we surely cannot show respect or any other good qualities by staying in our rooms. Why not all of us attend this ceremony of brotherhood so that we may he more proud to be. an Aggie ?
