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!
