Review
Picture of the civilian’s “first bonfire log-” which ap
peared on the front page of Wednesday’s Battalion brought
a deluge of letters (see Sound Off) and phone calls to our
desk.
The Band, traditional “bringers-inrof-the-first-bonfire^
log,” claim they, not the civilians, are responsible for the first
chunk of firewood again this year.
Says Consolidated Band Commander Jimmie Coombes:
“Band Sophomores brought in the first log Sunday—a good
24 hours before the civilian’s log. But orders from the Com
mandant’s office forbade our keeping it.”
A spokesman for the Corps of Cadets said decision to
restrict the Band’s traditional log from the campus this year
was reached at the first of the semester. Reasons for re
stricting the log are: (1) Band freshmen are required to
sit up all night guarding the log, (2) other outfits are always
trying to burn the log and somebody may get hurt, and (3)
if the Band tries to bring in the first log, every other outfit
will try to bring in an earlier log—sidewalks and landscaping
will be harmed.

That’s both sides, as we see it. What do you think?
“ . . . Remember when you said we let th’ outfit down by
letting th’ Civilians cut th’ first log for th’ bonfire? We
have a surprise for you in your room that will regain

Editor,
The Battalion:
Wednesday’s night’s Battalion
carried a front page picture
showing the “first” bonfire log
brought to the campus by Hart
Hall civilians.
It is true that the log was
brought on the campus Monday
and is still . there. However, it
is not the first log. Band soph
omores brought the first log on
the campus Sunday evening. As
soon as the Commandant’s Of
fice heard of the log on Monday
morning it was ordered off the
campus.
The log was removed Monday
afternoon. Today the civilian
log continues to rest on the grass
next to Hart Hall; the Band
sophomores had to get a truck
ing company to remove their
log.
What is the problem here ?
It has been a tradition in the
past for students to bring logs
on the campus. For civilians the
tradition .continues. Perhaps the
Commandant’s Office decided
that the Corps students and ci
vilians are two separate races.
Should we contemplate separate
Corps and civilian rest rooms?
Perhaps we in the Corps should
take seats in the back of the
bus ?
The goal of A&M as stated
by its president is to build the
educational quality of A&M
while raising the percentage of
enrollment increase to and be
yond the national average. What,
in heaven’s name, does the bon
fire log situation have to do
with these goals? It seems that
the Commandant’s Office will

tainly would make their job
easier, that is certain.
It seems that the president of
the college should acquaint cer
tain persons with the goals of
the college which certainly do
not grant license to anyone to
preside over the dissolution of
the Corps and its traditions.

Orders Tea Seized
DALLAS — CP) — The Dallas
U. S. Attorney’s office ordered
marshals Wednesday to seize
76,000 pounds of tea in the Gal
veston area.
(From the Rich Thresher, Rice
University student newspaper.)
A private investigating agency
claims it has planted its agents
in classrooms of a number of
colleges to investigate what it
calls “controversial” professors,
The Insider’s Newsletter has re
ported.
The Newsletter is distributed
by the publishers of Look Maga
zine.
The agency has written to sev
eral school presidents advising
them that a number of other
schools are already using the
system and find it “very bene
ficial and informative.”
Their operatives enroll and at
tend classes like regular stu
dents, then report to the agen
cy, which in turn analyzes and
reports to the administration of
the client-school.
In its letter of solicitation, the
agency does not specify who the
“controversial” professors are,
but assures the presidents that
almost every department of a
college has a teacher that meets
the “controversial” description
and could stand watching.
The troublemakers, according
to the agency, “invariably” turn
up in the philosophy, psychology,
English, literature, biology, his
tory, government, journalism,
speech, drama and religion de
partments.
The agency also offers to keep
an eye out for trouble among
kitchen help and janitors by
planting their men in these de
partments.
