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.

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 ?
