Editor,
The Battalion:
I noticed during the Turkey
Day game that another of the
Aggie Traditions has gone the
way of so many these past few
years.
The tying up of Reveille during
the half is disgusting to those
who have seen her guard the
field during the half-time cere-
jnonies. The band is generally
•recognized as the greatest
jnarching band in the world, and
a dog romping on the field at
half-firne takes nothing away
from them, despite opinions to
that effect.
, You Aggies had better take
hold on. the traditions you do
have left or there won’t be any
taore for, the Trigon to snatch.
, What’s next? No boots and
co-education ?

Editor,
The Battalion:
\ Now that the football season
is over, I feel our coaching staff
and squad deserve hearty con
gratulations. Prior to the sea
son we were rated to finish about
last. We did a little better.
The thing that makes me so
pleased is that, with loss after
loss, we came back each Saturday
to play a good game. And our
second half against Texas after
being down 21 points was the
finest come-back any of us has
ever seen.
This kind of guts, desire and
determination is what makes all
of us so proud to be an Aggie.
It’s the same kind of effort that
enabled the United States to win
two world wars.
I sincerely believe we have one
of. the best coaching staffs in
the country and a mighty well
rounded athletic program.
I hope Texas A&M will fully
realize the ability of our coach
ing staff and will reward them
for their heroic efforts by ex
pending their contracts and by
giving them a raise in salary.
I wouldn’t trade our staff for
any in the country. Give them
time and they will produce a
winner.

GOVERNOR SAYS
Kennedy’s Majority Vote
May Be Lost In Illinois
By The Associated Press
CHICAGO—Gov. William G.
Stratton said Wednesday that
Illinois’ 27 electoral votes might
not be cast for Sen. John F, Ken
nedy if “strong and tangible evi
dence” of vote frauds develop.
Stratton, a Republican defeat
ed in his bid for a third term,
spoke at a news conference in
Springfield, the state capital, as
a post-election turmoil in Chi
cago brought many accusations
of vote theft from GOP leaders
there.
At stake was President-elect
Kennedy’s 8,849-vote plurality in
Illinois on the basis of canvasses
by the clerks of the state’s 102
counties. The state electoral
board postponed action on the
vote Monday. Stratton is chair
man of the board, composed of
four Republicans and one Demo
crat.
Bad Policy
Stratton said he does not think
it would be good policy to hold
up certifying presidential elec
tors, but added: “If enough evi
dence of fraud is presented, we
may not cast the vote.”
A Cook County grand jury
pushed its investigation of vote
charges, calling 32 witnesses for
appearance Wednesday.
The Chicago election board
made slow progress rechecking
paper ballots from 863 precincts.
This deliberateness brought fum
ing comments by Republican
leaders, who accused the city
board’s Democratic majority of
trying to hide widespread vote
fraud.
Republicans held a hectic con
ference with Cook County Clerk
Edward J. Barrett on procedure
for rechecking paper ballots of
43 Chicago suburbs, which was
scheduled to start Thursday.
The ll S. attorney’s office
sifted evidence on the Nov. 8
voting for presentation to the
December federal grand jury.
Slow Procedure
It was the slow examination
procedure directed by Sidney
Holzman, chairman of the Chi
cago election board, in checking
votes in the Cook County state’s
attorney’s race that prompted
accusations by Stratton and Chi
cago leaders. Holzman insisted
that board members could noi
delegate the work. Republican;
wanted a dozen teams of deputj
board representatives put tc
work.

Stratton commented, “The
thing that concerns me is the
attitude of public officials there
in Chicago. No doubt there’s
been planned stalling, trying to
make it impossible for a. proper
recount to be held.”
Benjamin S. Adamowski, the
Republican state’s attorney
whose loss to Daniel P. Ward is
the official recheck subject, as
serted that the Chicago Demo
cratic organization, headed by
Mayor Richard J. Daley, stole
at least 100,000 votes.
