THE BATTALION
— Job Calls
BATTALION EDITORIALS CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
Job Well Done
Over 4,000 persons throughout Texas, those who visited
the campus over the weekend, can attest that once again the
Aggies came through with a fine show.
Another Spring Military Weekend is history, and another
triumph has been notched for those who worked and toiled
on the gigantic operation.
It all began with Intercollegiate Talent Show Friday
night. Besides the four-man committee that chose the acts
after viewing auditions throughout the Southwest, numerous
others—too many to count—helped coordinate the success.
These workers include stagehands, ushers, those in charge
of the programs and those who assisted the guests during
their stay.
Then followed a doubleheader—Combat Ball for army
cadets and Midnight in New Orleans for air force corps mem
bers and civilians.
Once again, many students and staff members had put
numerous hours into the operation. And they were privileged
in sitting back and seeing both guests and students enjoy
their efforts.
Afterward followed Saturday and the review and Mili
tary Ball. A long list of official guests joined the individual
student guests for a show well done—and to be long remem
bered.
Anyone trying to secure a list of all those who helped
make the weekend a success would find himself with a hope
less task.
All that can be said is that those who served did a job
of which they can be proud. And they did a service to A&M
that will be more than repaid in the future.
“ . . . He goes through these withdrawal pains after every
big weekend. He’s addicted to girls!”

Broussard Tribute;
‘Retire The Jersey’
Editor,
The Battalion:
Last Tuesday night A&M paid
tribute to Carroll Broussard—
three times All-Southwest Con
ference, honorable mention All-
America and the greatest basket
ball player ever to don the ma
roon and white.
It is my belief that A&M
should go one step further in its
tribute to the man who holds
every Aggie basketball record.
And that would be to retire jer
sey numbers 54 and 55. It would
be very ironic to see an Aggie
basketball game in later years
and discover that someone with
half of Carroll’s ability, leader
ship and sportsmanship wearing
these coveted numbers.

‘Insulting Comment’
Editor,
The Battalion:
It seems as though students at
A&M cannot open their mouths
to issue public statements with
out making an unnecessary in
sulting comment about students
fi’om other schools. I am refer
ring to our Student Senate pres
ident’s statement in the Mar. 8
Battalion concerning the pro
posed Southwest Conference Stu
dent Association, spearheaded by
the University of Texas’ Maurice
Olian.
I wholeheartedly back the Sen
ate’s decision to reject the pro
posal, but hardly think it was
necessary for the Senate prexy
to publicly state that “the whole
thing smells.”
Had Mr. Hall issued a more
carefully prepared statement that
did not reek of spontaneous emo
tion, he would have been much
more effective.
David L. McGuire, ’65
‘Practical’ Jokes
Editor,
The Battalion:
Is this what we want? We
think not! There is no excuse for
the defacing of a statue which
represents a person who did so
much for this institution. Wake
up to the facts and try to act like
adults for a change—it won’t
hurt you and you might find it
enjoyable.

Among the Aggies, practical
jokes are considered “good bull.”
But is it “good bull” to deface
the things which are sacred to
us. Few people would consider
painting the All Faiths Chapel,
the MSC or Guion Hall WHITE.
Then why should people be nar-
now-minded and low enough to
deface “Sully.”
Is this “good bull?” If it is,
then somebody has a warped im
pression of what the Aggie tra
ditions stand for. What are the
visitors to our campus supposed
to think when they see some
thing like that ?
The statue of Lawrence Ross
should be considered as sacred
to the Aggies as the chapel, the
MSC, and Guion Hall.
