Two Sides
Two Agg-ie wives have written to “Sound Off,” com- .
plaining about the Aggies’ lack of manners, (Sept. 22 and 27.) i'\
On the other side of the fence is a third woman who praises
Aggies for their manners and cheery greetings. (See “Sound ‘
Off” today.) The question is, who is right?

Each side has a solid stand, and is equally right in ex- j /
pressing it; there is a possibility that the Aggie who re- • ' ,
pulses one woman on the campus could very easily impress "' f ' ^ ^
another.

disrespectful while driving a car; no Aggie can be dubbed vo*' l '
In the same line, a courteous Aggie on foot can be very
either “the perfect gentleman” or “the perfect clod.” In
certain situations he can easily represent either. It depends
entirely on the circumstances.
Of primary importance to consider is that those persons j?
adversly affected by discourteous actions don’t stop to ques
tion why the Aggie did them; thus, all Aggies go down in the
minds of these unfortunate few.
It is the responsibility of each individual Aggie to see
that he isn’t responsible for such conduct. Sometimes, it is
done unintentionally. But often, it can be forseen and pre
vented.
A Good Start

The Class df ’62 is off on the right foot this year, show
ing interest in the welfare of campus facilities soon after the
semester has begun.
The revision of the honor sys
tem at Skidmore College, an all
girls school located at Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., has resulted in a
new interpretation entitled the
Honor Contract, college officials
there report.
The Contract places impor
tance on personal self-discipline
and eliminates the necessity of
reporting a girl within 48 hours
of a violation if she has not re
ported herself.

Under the new honor system turne< l into gemlike store,
every girl is responsible for re
porting herself to an Honor
Board for any violation of the
contract. She is also responsible
for speaking to any other girl
who has violated the Contract
and is encouraged to report a
violator “if community safety is>
involved.”

Guest Editorial
Sound Off
Conviction by a West German court of a reporter for
Overseas Weekly on a charge of slandering Maj. Gen. Edwin
A. Walker casts significant light on the disciplining of the
American officer by the Pentagon.
Even more illuminating is theVfull analysis of the whole
Walker case by the New York Times’ military expert, Hanson
W. Baldwin. His on-the-spot report from West Germany
critizes the mishandling of the entire matter by Washington.
Editor,
The Battalion:
In response to Mrs. Doris Alli
son’s letter (Sound Off Sept. 2?),
I would like to express my opin
ion of an “Aggie.”
Eleven years I have housed
thousands of students. The out
standing factor I have encoun
tered is courtesy.
Under the crowded conditions
of the present year they remain
the same. I have never had a
student walk deliberately in front
of my car when he was conscious
of a vehicle being near.

Mil I MKi
It is of record that Washington jumped into the case,
pushing aside investigators named by U. S. Army authorities
in Germany before complete examination of the facts. This
was a violation of normal procedure in arriving at military
justice. It is not surprising that men and officers alike in
Germanyl are disturbed at this precipitate interference.
Wee Aggies
You or I walk or drive at times
with our minds somewhere else.
Why should we blame our fellow
man? Have you thought of your
job and mine? The Aggies are
the keys to our work. I love
mine—do you ?
Read Classifieds Daily
It is possible that General Walker deserved some repri
mand. But the way that decision was reached and the one
sided release in this country of testimony against him con
stitute a serious injustice to a member of our armed forces.
Such irregularities in the administration of military justice
are far graver than anything alleged against General Walker.
Six future Corps commanders
and one Aggie date were born re
cently in St. Joseph’s Hospital
in Bryan.
