BATTALION EDITORIALS
INTERPRETING
Wasn’t The Same
It just wasn’t the same last Saturday night.
The sight of Reveille, Texas A&M’s beloved dog mascot,
being led around the Band on a leash was met with wholesale
disapproval by both students and the general public attending
the Texas A&M-Arkansas game on Kyle Field.
Rev’s debut in the new, forced role resulted from a re
cent ruling by the Southwest Conference, stating that a mas
cot cannot appear on the gridiron without a muzzle or a leash.
Rev’s answer to the muzzle is a refusal to run.
The ruling was based on an incident reported two years
ago when Rev bit a game official and an opposing coach.
After two years of deliberation, the Southwest Conference
has come down with the sudden ruling prohibiting Rev from
roaming the ranks of the Texas A&M Band.
As it stands now, Rev’s only appearances on the field
will be at non-conference games. Her last outing in that
popular and customary role was at the Texas A&M-Trinity
game in San Antonio.
The point has also been raised that Rev’s appearances
without muzzle and leash detract from the performance of
the Band. Actually, it adds to it, and there have been no
complaints from the members of the Band.
It’s too late to do anything about the ruling at this time.
But the Southwest Conference has a meeting in Dallas the
first week in December. Perhaps a plea or a special appeal
could be made to the SWC for a revision of the ruling.
When the ruling was first made official to Texas A&M,
The Battalion stated:
The ruling “says nothing of putting hobbles on midget
mustangs, muzzles on bears, rings in the noses of steers, or
muzzles on razorback hogs.” Those hampers would be similar
to a muzzle on a dog.
Still the ruling terminates a performance that has been
Rev’s and her predecessor’s for 20 years.
It just wasn’t the same. ..

Fewer Sorry
When IFs Over
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Hardly a man is now alive who
can remember just what it was
like when it began, and even
fewer will be sorry when it’s all
over a week from today.
This campaign began soon
after the 1956 election, perhaps
even before President Eisen
hower’s inauguration for his last
term.
By the summer of 1959 prac
tically all the Republican politi
cians knew what they were going
to have to do. That fall Nelson
A. Rockefeller took some polls
and paid some visits and decided
he couldn’t beat City Hall.
Things were a little bit wider
open among the Democrats until
the West Virginia primary. When
the religious issue failed to out
weigh John F. Kennedy’s eco
nomic promises there, Kennedy
joined Richard M. Nixon in run
ning for the presidency rather
than just for the nomination.
Things were awfully dull.
When Kennedy and Lyndon B.
Johnson were nominated, at a
time when the Republicans were
taking it on the chin over U2 and
the collapse of negotiations with
the Soviet Union, it looked like
an unbeatable ticket.
Many people thought that 32
years of mass education would
have leveled off religious intoler
ance, and that West Virginia
proved it.
Nixon started behind in the
post-convention estimates. But
solid organizational work and re
ligion began to tell. He pulled

ahead.
Then came the morning-after
game of “Who looked best last
night?” in a series of four tele
vision debates. A lot of people
got to “know” Kennedy for the
first time and checks indicated a
small but firm majority thought
he looked best.
The issues developed didn’t get
very far. Both candidates began
making mistakes and, when
caught up, were quick to compro
mise, so that frequently they
wound up traveling the same way
under banners bearing only
slightly different words.
Now, barring some unexpected
event, there being no war that
either candidate can stop, nearly
all the voters are ready to be
counted. There is a feeling that
Kennedy is ahead. But the re
ligious issue remains an import
ant intangible.

JACK SAVED HIS COMPANY $10,000
ON HIS FIRST ASSIGNMENT
While Jack Trabert was in college he had
some definite career ideas. He knew what he
wanted—a job with a payoff for good judgment
and hard work.
With a B.S. in Business Administration from
the University of Nebraska, Jack knew he could
look in many directions. And he did. He talked
to 20 companies. And then in August, 1957,
joined Northwestern Bell, in Omaha, Nebraska.
His chance to show what he could do was
not long in coming. On his first assignment Jack
came up with answers that made it possible to
handle long distance calls made at night in the
Omaha area with less force and equipment than
was needed under the old system. This resulted
in a $10,000 annual saving.
Next, Jack worked on a training and devel
opment program for “mark sensing”—a new
method for mechanized processing of long dis
tance charges.
Today, Jack has an important role in plan
ning and developing telephone facilities to keep
pace with Omaha’s ever-increasing need for long
distance services.
Jack puts it this way-“If a guy can keep
his average up, there are places to go in this
outfit. A man doesn’t have to wait around for
opportunity to knock-he has all he can handle
right from the start.”
If you want a job in which you’re given a chance
to show your stuff, and held strictly accountable for
your decisions, right from the siart-lhen you’ll
want to visit your Placement Office for literature
and additional information.
