THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, September 22, 1960
Cadet
Slouch
Jim Earle, erstwhile creator
, of Cadet Slouch, has • graciously
consented to allow The Battalion
to ‘borrow’ the title he gives his
cartoons for this column.
The Battalion felt that such
a theme for a column would tie
in neatly with all aspects here
at Texas A&M and with the in
formality planned.
As for this column, it will ap
pear periodically—or spasmodic
ally—and will be written by most
any member of The Battalion
staff. If any ever become in
spired.
Cadet Slouch will deal pri
marily with the lighter side of
Consolidated
Booklet Sets
Up Policies
The new A&M Consolidated
handbook has been distributed
to the 391 students in the high
school, setting up a definite pol
icy for the school system.
Many new rulings and minor
policy changes have been put
into effect, including the dis
continuation of tardy excuses
between classes.
The school board decided the
unexcused absences and tardi
ness should be cut to a minimum,
srggesting several ways of so
doing.
An excused absence would be
determined by the principal, and
any such absence would afford
the right of make-up work for
the work missed during the ab
sence.
Absences for trips to neighbor
ing states on vacations with par-
ints, unless a case of hardship,
Would not fall into the category
of excursd absences.
The board refused to allow
smoking _,n the campus under
any circumstances, a change of
policy from last year. Previous
ly student,) could smoke at an
assigned sp with a special per
mit signed by parents.
Another now policy set up by
the board concerns the noon
hour. Students must have writ
ten permission from parents in
order to leav the campus for
eating purposes, either at home
or elsewhere.

Texas A&M, but will probably
be just a conglomeration of frag
ments pasted together with re
lating lines into a composition
of incongruous effect.
The Battalion also sounds the
cry, if the column meets the ap

faculty, the administration. Or
any others.
Shall we start?

The fall semester is but four
days along and freshman antics
are again the talk of the campus
As an example, tickets to the
Texas A&M-Texas Tech game
are being collected this week
irom day students. A check of
one batch revealed that a frosh
had turned in his ticket—but it
was a reserved seat costing $4.
And it was signed on the back
Another frosh decided to quit
feeling college was not the place
for him. He joined the Marines.
Borne fourth classmen have al
so become concerned with making
mown their whereabouts. One
freshman returned from a jaunt
across the campus and reported
to his commanding officer.
I m back,” he said, and exited.

But the oddities are not re
stricted to the freshmen alone.
A junior was known to have cut
a class in Military Science to
have an interview with his Mili
tary Science instructor. And
still another junior was seen
wandering aimlessly around G.
Kolhe White Coliseum asking un
derclassmen where Room 303
was.

Last night, at precisely three
minutes before seven, the elec
tricity at the new Hensel Apart
ments went out. The lights nat
urally went out too.
Cries of anguish reverberated
through the area.
One young wife was late to a
meeting in the Memorial Student
Center because she couldn’t see
to put on her lipstick.
A husband was perturbed be
cause he couldn’t see to eat his
supper and it was getting cold.

Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
Ah, fall! Oh, football! Here
we go again.
Each and every fall I vow that
this year I am not going to take
to heart as a personal tragedy
the Aggie losses and gloat over
their wins. And every fall I
lose.
After having spent four sea
sons sitting in the student sec
tion with my husband, singing,
yelling like crazy, accompanying
him on Corps Trips and in gen
eral just feeling like I was part
of the Spirit of Aggieland—
how in heaven’s name will I
ever free myself of this?
Just to be honest, I really don’t
want to. Wouldn’t do any good
if I did for it is impossible to
forget this tremendous, inde
scribable thing called the “Ag
gie Spirit.”
While listening to the Louisi
ana State University game that
spirit • resurged anew when I
heard the strains of “The Spirit”
being played by the band and
sung by the Ags.
Thus, finding it impossible, to
ever be anything but a rabid
Aggie fan, I would like to offer
my sincerest best wishes to every
member of the team, Jim Myers
and staff, the best band in the
land and the wonderful Twelfth
Man. A combination that will
never be beaten—regardless of
the score.

Editor,
The Battalion:
The football game played here
in College Station Saturday night
will be minus two enthusiastic
Aggie fans.
My husband, a veteran, came
to A&M last February, and since
then we have been anxiously
awaiting the beginning of the
football season.
You cannot imagine our shock
when we began inquiring about
football tickets. The student ac
tivity fee which my husband
would have to pay is $23.90. A
“date” ticket is $3 per game,
providing they are all purchased
on or before Sept. 23, after
which they are $4. There are
three home games this season.
The total price for both of us
to attend these three games is
$32.90. To me this seems a little
steep.
We are aware-that the activity
card does entitle you to other
campus activities, but in our
case, all we are interested in are
the football games.
Without the activity card the
tickets are $4 each, which still
does not entitle a student to sit
on the student side. This still
brings the total to $24 for the
three games.
I still have not yet mentioned
any out-of-town games. We had

even considered attending one or
two of them.
I have no idea who arrives at
the price for tickets, but I feel
sure none of the students are
consulted. I suppose if a stu
dent doesn’t have the money for
tickets, he just stays home, but
I for one don’t think I could con
vey much Aggie Spirit to the
team sitting next to the radio.
In closing may I add that it’s
certainly a shame that students
have to pay such an exorbitant
amount to watch their own team
play in their own stadium on
their own campus.

WASHINGTON —The “great
debates” on TV between the pres
idential candidates figure to be
something less than full debates
and probably something less
than great.
In all four confrontations be
tween Vice President Richard M.
Nixon and Sen. John F. Ken

commentators will be on the na-
JFK, Nixon
Spokesmen
Issue Protest
By The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Spokes
men for Sen. John F. Kennedy
and Vice President Richard M.
Nixon Wednesday protested a de
cision by the major television
and radio networks to permit
only their own newsmen to ques
tion the two presidential candi
dates in their televised debate.
The protest was sent to the
networks by Pierre Salinger,
Kennedy’s press secretary, who
said he had been authorized to
speak for Herbert G. Klein, Nix
on’s news secretary, as well.
The protest was prompted by
a telegram to the spokesmen for
the presidential nominees, saying
that on the first of the debates,
from Chicago next Monday even
ing, only newsmen representing
the networks would be among the
panel of questioners.
tion’s screens with them, asking
questions.
Pegging Arguments
This is a lot different from
watching the two candidates
standing face to face, by them
selves, pegging arguments at
each other. In at least one of
the four encounters the candi
dates will be a continent apart,
appearing on split screens.
These meetings will be historic
to the degree it will be the first
time presidential candidates meet
on TV to discuss the issues—no
matter how they do the discuss
ing.
The first invitation to the two
men to join in a “great debate”
came from Robert W. Sarnoff,
board chairmen of the National
Broadcasting Co., after the na
tional political conventions in
July.
The result is that all the na
tional TV and -radio networks
will carry the debates, each last
ing an hour.
Schedule
This is the way they will go:
First meeting—Monday, Sept.
26, from Chicago from 9:30 to
10:30 p.m. EDT. The discussion
will be on domestic policy.
Each candidate will be given
eight minutes as an opener. Then
a panel of four TV people will
ask one of them a question. He’ll
get three minutes to answer,
then his opponent gets V-k min-,
utes to reply.
The panel will then ask the
second man a question. He’ll
get three minutes to answer.
His opponent gets iy 2 minutes
to reply. This will go on until
only six minutes are left.
3 Minutes
Then each of the two candi
dates will get three minutes to
sum up.
Second meeting—Friday, Oct.
7 from New York from 7:30 to
8:30 p.m. EDT. This probably
will take the form of a news
conference with a panel of news
men asking questions of both
candidates.
In this one Nixon and Ken-,
nedy will appear together if pos
sible. If they both can’t be in
New York at the same time,
they’ll have to appear on a split
screen to answer tile questions.
Third meeting—Thursday, Oct.
13 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. EDT,
with the program originating in
New York. This also will take
the form of a news conference
but will be on a split screen with
Nixon in Los Angeles and Ken
nedy in New York.
Fourth meeting—Friday, Oct.
21 from 10 to 11 p.m. EDT, from
New York. This will follow the
form of the first meeting with a
panel of TV commentators ask
ing questions. The subject will
be foreign policy.
Social Calendar
The Civil Engineering Wives’
Club will hold their annual Fall
Tea in the Social Room of the
Memorial Student Center Sun
day from 3-5:00 p.m.
Wheeler County Hometown
Club will meet in the YMCA
Cabinet Room.
