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.

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.

I, Jerry Vion, wish to take this

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.

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.

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.

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

doing the student body a service.
I urge you to vote for a man who
will be a fine representative—

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.

$10,500,” he said.

What makes Lucky Strike the favorite regular cigarette of college smokers? Fine-tobacco taste.
The taste of a Lucky is great to start with, and it spoils you for other cigarettes. That’s why
Lucky smokers stay Lucky smokers. So, get the taste you’ll want to stay with. Get Lucky today.
