I (Continued from Page 2) ■ Blackard Seeks EPresident’s Job f E.I itor, I ho Battalion: Consider the importance of the ^Btudent Senate and the student ^Midy president in providing' stu- ^■ent services and voicing student ^«)inion. These services are, for ^Bie most part, fairly routine in ^^■early all colleges. I However, A&M is unique in , She field of student opinion, for ^ve have many controversial is- ^Bues all our owm. We students ■re an integral part of this insti- ^Bution, and our voice should be ^Beard concrening A&M’s prob- I Here, then, lies the challenge ^nn- next year’s student leaders ^Bnd the student body president. H'hese leaders must stand on their ^Bwn feet, consider but not be dominated by administrative ^Bpinion and be guided solely by Mheir conscience and the voice of |||}t students. I I believe that 1 am experienced ^Bnd qualified to meet this chal- Benge by representing the student ^Bo<ly and working with the Ci vilian Student Council president, ^Blass officers and the corps com- Hnander to express a more unified ^ktudent opinion. Kirk Hlackard, ’63 ★ ★ ★ I Magers Camiiaigns I For President j^feditor, f 'he Battalion: I am Hugh (Gyro) Magers, ^Ban didate for Student Senate, ^Btudent body president I feel i^fthat I can do a good job because pof my experience in campus ac- ■tivities, but mainly because I |fcave a great deal of interest in I^Khe office. I 1 feel that the Student Senate n the past years has not re- ected and implemented the ishes of the student body. But, nore often that not, the Student lenate reflected the feelings of a small group of students and the administration. I realize that the Student Sen ate must cooperate with the ad- inistration and no one has more espect for the administration that I have, but, the Student Senate should not be just another organization for enforcing admin istration policy. Next year could be a year of great change for this school. In keeping with this I would try to see a student referendum taken on issues that w r ould affect the student body. A referendum should be taken on issues like the name change, coeducation or sim ilar issues. Also I would like to see an effort made to provide better telephone service in the dormitories. Another thing that should be done is this: a renewed effort to lower the price on stu dent date tickets for football games. I ask you to vote for me, of course. But, whether you vote for me or not, at least vote. One of the chief weaknesses of the Student Senate in the past has been that so few students vote or take an interest in student government. If a large body of students votes, the Student Sen ate will be a strong organization. Hugh Magers, ’63 ★ ★ ★ Vion Says ‘Thanks’ For Endorsement Editor, The Battalion: I, Jerry Vion, wish to take this opportunity to thank Kenneth Joyce for his support in my cam paign for student life committee chairman. As student life ■committee chairman this year, he has devoted much time and energy toward furthering the interests of the student body. (A letter from Joyce endorsing Vion for 1962-63 head of the stu dent life committee was printed in Tuesday’s Battalion, ed.) The student life committee chairman has many responsibil ities, which include planning and COLLEGE MASTER VI 6-4988 ^ Hiirm ■ Ho ■ a a'rr a ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ r ■ t ■’ a ■ ’r ra i ‘Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service !“We Service All Foreign Cars” 11416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4617 ■WTT* Sound Off coordinating the Aggie Muster ceremonies, supervising the seat ing arrangement in Kyle Field and supervising the selection of Aggie Mother of the Year. In addition, he has the responsibility of proposing policies' concerning Aggie traditions, developing bet ter staff-student relationships and developing healthy student attitudes on such campus prob lems as an honor system and the purposes of a college education. I am a junior accounting major and now hold the position of scholastic sergeant of my unit. I have an overall grade point ratio of 1.84 and am a member of the Accounting Society and the American Ordnance Associa tion. I feel that with the support of you, the student body, the Stu dent Senate can continue to be an effective student government —representative of the whole student body and voicing the opinions of the various interest groups comprising the student body. Only through your sup port at the polls this Thursday can the Student Senate achieve the goals for which it was organ ized. Choosing a student life com mittee chairman is one of the most important responsibilities of you, the student body. If elected I will be open to any sug gestions which will further the interests of you, the student body. Your sincere considera tion and support will be greatly appreciated. Jerry E. Vion, ’63 ★ ★ ★ Blanton Wants To Be Parliamentarian Editor, The Battalion: I would like to emphasize the points made by my opponent in Tuesday’s Battalion concerning the importance of the office of Student Senate parliamentarian. It is especially important that the person chosen for the job be willing to work with the Senate, for the student body. I would also like to urge every student to vote in the general election Thursday. As the rep resentative of the student body, the Student Senate can be effec tive only when it truly reflects the opinions of the student at A&M. I, Jimmie Bratton, believe that I can fulfill the trust that you would place in me by electing me parliamentarian of the Student Senate. I am married and a member of the Corps of Cadets. As a freshman I was elected out standing freshman at the A&M Adjunct. I have been active in the Civil Air Patrol, Flying Ca dets, Economics Club, American Society of Civil Engineers, Amer ican Society of Military Engi neers, Ross Volunteers, various MSC committees and SCONA. Last year I was awarded the S. B. Mosher Steel Co. scholar ship for academic achievement and leadership. If elected I pledge to work to the best of my ability to repre sent all the students of A&M and to make the Student Senate an effective representative of the students of A&M. I would sincerely appreciate your vote and support in the general election Thursday. I be lieve my experience in student activities and government and my desire to serve the students of A&M, adequately qualify me for this position. Thank you for your considera tion. Jimmie L. Bratton, ’63 ★ ★ ★ Hotchkiss Seeks Issues Committee Editor, The Battalion: My name is Douglas Hotchkiss and I am a candidate for issues committee chairman of the Stu dent Senate. I am presently a junior in the Corps of Cadets, but I will equally represent the interests of every class and group to the best of my ability as chair man of this committee. The issues committee is a mem ber of the executive committee of the Senate, and as a senior, I feel that I would be able to work closely with the president, using mature judgment in every decision. I urge that you vote for better representation of campus issues' in the Student Senate, by elect ing me, Douglas Hotchkiss, chair man of the issues committee in Thursday’s election. Douglas G. Hotchkiss, ’63 ★ ★ ★ Stanton Seeks Welfare Post Editor, The Battalion: My name is Ken Stanton and I am a candidate for the chair manship of the Student Senate welfare committee. This past year I have been the sophomore representative to the Student Senate from the School of Arts and Sciences and a member of the student welfare committee. After having served a year on this committee, I feel that I have learned much of the duties and functions of student welfare, and I believe that I am capable of serving as next year’s chairman. Ken Stanton, ’64 ★ ★ ★ Hall Campaigns For Riojas Editor, The Battalion: This letter is written in behalf of Mundo Riojas, candidate for chairman of the student life com mittee of the Student Senate. Mundo’s activities include the chairmanship of Pan American Week, delegate to SCONA VI, delegate to SCUSA at West Point, SCONA VIII executive committee and vice president of the Pan-Am Club. He has been a distinguished stu dent and is the first foreign stu dent to apply for a student gov ernment position, which speaks highly for him, I think. His ac tivities indicate that he is both aggressive and very interested in student government. I have been in the same com pany with Mundo for three years, and he has performed corps du ties with a high degree of com petence. Being a foreign stu dent, naturally he was not re quired to even be a member of the Corps of Cadets, but because of his interest in our school and the corps, he has been a member and has made a substantial con tribution through his efforts to ward being a good Aggie. I have been closely associated with the student life committee Nothing rasher for your hair than grease. Let Vitalis vith V-7 keep your hair neat all day without grease. Jaturally.

Try,Vitalis todajhjou’ll like iti this year, and I feel Mundo has the qualifications necessary for doing the student body a service. I urge you to vote for a man who will be a fine representative— Mundo Riojas. Malcolm W. Hall, ’62 ★ ★ ★ Stanton Favored By Retiring Head Editor, The Battalion: Such activities as the blood drive, student accident insurance and Campus Chest are among the assignments given to the student welfare committee in the Stu dent Senate. Detailed planning and arrangements are required to make each activity successful. It is therefore very important that the chairman of thi$ com mittee be acquainted with these activities to prevent wasted time and effort. The only candidate for this position that has even served in the Student Senate is Ken Stanton. Ken has worked all year with the welfare committee and thi'ough this experience he has gained many good ideas to im prove the work of this commit tee. He has handled a major job in every activity of the welfare committee, including the ap proaching blood drive. Ken has shown that he will always work for the benefit of the students through the position he seeks ]to win. Therefore it is my opinion that Ken Stanton is the best qualified and most deserving of the candi dates for chairman of the stu dent welfare committee. John R. Anthis, ’62 THE BATTALTOR ’WVfrhescfay, May 2,1932 College Station, Texas ') Page 8 Junior AH Student Wins $250 Pfizer Award A junior animal husbandry stu dent, John L Kuykendall of Cher okee, has been named winner of a 1962 Pfizer national 4-H scholar ship award.

Kuykendall was active in 4-H Club work for nine years, and his projects were mainly with beef animals. “My brother and I fed 24 steers during this period, the gross in come from which, including prize money, amounted to approximately $10,500,” he said. The student exhibited steers in such major Texas shows as San Antonio, Fort Worth, Waco and Houston. In the 1957 Houston Fat Stock Show, he had the reserve grand champion beef scramble steer. He produced the grand champion for seven years in the San #Saba County Stock Show. San Saba County Gold Star 4-H Boy honors went to Kuykendall in 1959.
