And those cute little signs, “PLEASE . . . Keep Off the Grass,” will be replaced. And under those signs other signs will be added: “PLEASE, PLEASE . . . Don’t Cut Our Wire!” This whole “wire curtain” affair has ceased to being funny—it’s ridiculous now. We’ve received letters objecting to the looks of the curtain, and to its cost. We will be the first to agree that the bare wire and stenciled sigs add very little in the way of beauty to the campus. But the labyrinth of paths crossing the lush green carpet of the drill field add very little either. As to cost: the initial cost probably wasn’t too bad. But the upkeep is way out of line. (Too keep the “curtain” in place requires either a full time police force or a full time wire-replacement crew.) Evidently the wire won’t work. Aggies aren’t going to be fenced in (or out) or anything. We don’t condone the wire cutting, but we do hope the “wire curtains” goes. We further hope students will profit by the experience and use the side walks, or at least use enough diverse routes across the field to keep paths from forming.

I think it’s a wonderful idea ...” Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: Wednesday there was a near- reeord attendance at the polls in the primary elections of class officers, as the administration began to encourage active admin istration campaigning, posters and cards notifying the voters of the names and qualifications of candidates for the various of fices. But I noticed one thing in par ticular: the interest in the elec tion Hiis year seemed to be on a Corps vs. Civilians basis. Many civilian voters refused to vote for a candidate when a civilian was running against him, and many cadets showed the same feeling. Naturally, the battle for points for the General Moore- award influenced voters from some outfits, but this excuses neither the civilians nor cadets from those outfits with no can didates for office. Men, while we may be civilians B. H. Dewey, Jr. Campaigns BOB SLOAN EDITOR B. H. Dewey Jr., state repre sentative, on Jan. 1, 1962 announced his candidacy for re-election to the office of state representative, 28th District (currently 44th District.) The 44-year-old Bryan attorney is seeking his sixth term to the state legislature, having served as representative from Brazos County in the 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th and 57th legislatures. Dewey is running for re-election to the House on his record of service to Brazos County which he says reveals support for educa tion, agriculture and economy in government operations. A 1934 graduate of Bryan High School, he graduated from Texas A&M College in 1938 and the Uni versity of Texas Law School in 1941. He was admitted to the State Bar and practice of law in 1941. During World War II he served in the Air Force and Infantry as an enlisted man for 41 months including overseas in the Philippine Islands. The candidate has served five terms on the House Appropriations and Privileges, Suffrage and Elec tions committees, and on the fol lowing other committees Congres sional and Legislative Districts, Common Carriers, Conservation and Reclamation, Rules, Interstate Cooperative Committee; Military and Veteran’s Affairs, Representa tion Before the Legislature, State Hospitals and Special Schools and on Conference committees in 1957, 1959 and 1961 which wrote the general appropriations bills for the State of Texas. Dewey is now serving on the Legislative Budget Board and the Southern Regional Education Board until 1964. Active in the Democratic Party, Dewey is a member of the Bryan Lions Club, First Presbyterian Church, Chamber of Commerce, American Legion, VFW, Farm Bureau, A&M Club, Exchange Club, local and state bar associations and is president of the Brazos County Bar Association. His candidacy is subject to action of the Democratic Primary, Satur day May 5, 1962. (Paid Political Ad) or cadets, we belong to a larger, moi'e important group—we’re all Aggies. W’hy should there be any friction between Corps and civilians ? There should be a run-off election for only three groups Tuesday—the classes of ’63, ’64 and ’65. By dividing each class into civilian and c:idet candidates, we only weaken the classes. We can work together. The run-off is Tuesday—vote for your class. Examine the qualifications of the candidates and forget that they are cadets or civilians. Let’s try to coop erate for a change and get the best men for each job. Allan W.
