Review
The senior class, or part of it anyway, attended the first
senior class meeting - in seven years (or there abouts) yester
day afternoon in Guion Hall. (There’s a story on page one).
Not in the story, however, are these few important items.
(Printed here for the benefit of the 800 or so seniors who
couldn’t make the meeting).
—Class of ’62 Historian Don Dodgen want seniors to
help him compile the history of the class. Anyone who knows
of something (printable) about the class or its members
should contact him.
—And Social Secretary Johnny Martinez reminds seniors
that the Ring Dance (May 19) is “probably the best thing
you’ll get this year.”

Tripod was at the seniors’ meeting. He came wet. Be
cause he was wet, he smelled. He smelled like a wet dog. One
of our “three-button leaders” gave an order. “Take off, Tri
pod!” he said. Tripod looked at him. Then Tripod lay down
at his feet. The “leader” left.
When are people going to learn, you just don’t tell Tri
pod what to do!

The Fish Drill Team is back from Laredo (where they
took third place in the George Washington Birthday drill com
petition). One member of the team brought back this story:
He was in Old Mexico about 1 a. m. Saturday in his ’48
Studebaker acting like a tourist. He and some buddies had
just started back to the U. S. side of the river when:
—his clutch went out
—his differential locked
—his transmission broke down
—and the battery went dead.
So he sold the car in Nuevo Laredo for $30 and hitched-
hiked back to school.

(Editor’s note: The following
letter was addressed to Class of
’62 President • John Waddell in
response to a class plan to obtain
a 75 per cent return on contri
butions to the Development Fund
of the Association of Former
Students. See story on Page 1.)
Congratulations on the courage
and initiative of your class in
establishing this wonderful new
tradition. It is my belief, that
your campaign will be highly suc
cessful and have a powerful im
pact on our entire Association,
especially the older class agents
and certainly graduating classes
of the future.
It appears to me that in 1972
at your 10th Anniversary Reunion
your class will surely have a
great heritatge to look back on
because it is my belief that you
will set a new all-time high in

Partisan Politics
Editor,
The Battalion:
I was under the impression that
it was illegal for state-supported
institutions to engage in parti
san politics. If such is the case,
who authorized the displays in
the Browsing Library of the Me
morial Student Center, and in the
Windows of the Exchange Store.
I would like to complain about
the anti-semitic nature of some
of the literature included in the
display at the Browsing Library.
