THE BATTALION
CADET SLOUCH
We have learned, from an highly unreliable source, that
the “wire curtain” around the main drill field will be re
placed.
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.

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.
