An Editorial
More Big Votes
Yesterday’s big: turnout in the co-education referendum
points to the tremendous interest created by the issue and
the students’ desire to express opinions.
More big votes in every election are needed if students
are really to get the right type leaders and representatives
elected and voice opinions on issues such as the one yester
day.
Undoubtedly, if more Aggies would turn out for elec
tions consistently there would be less griping about election
outcomes. The man who doesn’t vote has little right to
gripe but he’s usually the one who gripes most.
Persons voted yesterday who have probably never voted
at A&M. There should never be an instance on the campus
where a man has never voted.
More elections and possibly referendum^ may be held
before the year is over. Keep up the large turnouts and
the result will be better campus leaders and more accurate
feeling on campus issues.

Letters To The Editor
“If we were pigs or cows, we could use some of those new
modern facilities! If only we had been born cows instead of
Aggies!”
Editor,
The Battalion:
Since the question of co-ed
ucation at Texas A&M has aris
en, we would like to voice the
opinion of many coeds here at
SMU.
The spirit shown by the men
at Texas A&M is unparalleled to
the spirit found in any other
school in the Southwest Confer
ence. This essence is reflected
in every phase of a cadet’s life
—spiritually and socially.
To attend any activity at Ag-
gieland is to experience some
thing new and different from
the routine of a co-educational
school. The manners and atten
tiveness shown by an Aggie are
refreshing to the girls who are
taken for granted by the boys in
a co-educational school.
The heritage of which A&M
is so proud must never die. Its
traditions must remain for all
future generations!
SMU Coeds
Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to say that I am
glad to hear that some of the
young men in the Corps are able
to face the facts. The Corps is
not what it used to be thirty or
forty years ago; nor will it ever
attain its old standing. Time
doesn’t wait for anyone else so
why should it wait for the Corps ?
There is one very important
fact that a lot of people have
forgotten about! It is the fact
that there are not any facilities
at A&M at the present time to
handle women. Co-education
cannot and will not come about
over night. It is clear to every
one except a few that A&M is
headed for co-education.
Co-education will start with
the wives of Aggies attending.
Then it will enlarge to include
girls from Bryan and College Sta
tion. This process will not and
cannot take place overnight.
The Corps yells that it will
hurt “them.” It is impossible
for anything to hurt the Corps!
The Corps has hurt A&M! We
have held steady on enrollment
while other schools have gained.
Is this in the best interest of
A&M ? The Corps wants to do
what is right for A&M, don’t
they ? Or do they ?
One Corps sophomore has said
that he is against co-education
because girls would study more
and ruin the curve. College is a
place where you may go to get
a higher form of education, and
not have one handed to you on a
silver platter. A&M already has
a high scholastic rating, and, if
girls will cause us to study more,
then we will raise the already
high standard of A&M higher.
Or perhaps the Corps is afraid
that they will have to settle
down and do some studying in
stead of “toughening” the fish.

True, a lot of the old traditions
will have to go. But they will
be replaced by a lot of new ones
that Aggies can and will hold
as dear to them as some of the
old ones are today.
Oh! I know that Highway 6
runs both ways, so do a lot of
other highways so how about
taking one of them!
Keep up the good work of pre
