THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, March 8, 1962 Pass In c Review Batt men who recently returned from conducting a jour- nalism seminar with the staff of The Echo, Inmate Publica tion of the Texas Department of Corrections at Huntsville, got a letter the other day. It was from the editor. The Batt men, it seems, had preached long and loud on the virtue of typewritten copy. So last week the editor re ceived a two-page newsstory, laborously lettered by hand. At the bottom was this note from the convict-reporter: “Next time I’m going to turn in typed copy if I have to steal a typewriter!” Now, now. That sort of thing can get you put in jail. We can’t help but notice; the ex-Texas Ranger staff’s new endeavor, “Bacchanal,” is going over great at A&M. Even Cadet Slouch creator, Jim Earle, had a cartoon in the new mag.

Teasip Lauds Senate Stand Editor, The Battalion: I was quite surprised in reading about A&M’s Student Senate de cision to reject the constitution of the Southwest Conference Stu dent Association. It now appears to me that the Aggies can at least think for themselves, and can’t necessarily be led around as sheep like the typical college stu dents who are so eager to jump on any bandwagon without first seeing who is driving or which direction it is going. The Southwest Conference Stu dent Association has not been sanctioned any authority to set any policies. It is only capable of giving out a few ego-building titles to be placed underneath the senior pictures in the annuals and getting undue publicity for ex pressing the whims of a small PROPHET WITHOUT HONOR BALTIMORE </P)—In a famous restaurant on Fayette Street, a visitor from the West asked if the place were a favorite of H. L. Mencken. “I don’t know,’ the waiter re plied. “Does he play for the Colts or for the Orioles?” group. 1 do not think that the South west Conference Student Associa tion represents the views of the student bodies, faculties, board of trustees or coaching staffs of the Southwest Conference mem bers. It is a privilege, rather than a right for students to have an intercollegiate athletic program. The abuse of privileges often re sults in the loss of privileges. Please don’t get me wrong. I am a staunch Southwest Confer ence fan and think it is the great est. So . . . Gig ’em Aggies! James K.
