Student Budget
At SMU Cut
An enrollment decrease has
cost almost every student organ
ization at SMU approximately
five per cent of its allocated
funds.
r ~Tie reduction is due, for the
t part, to a five per cent
..o iment drop. The , school’s
total student budget was de
creased by approximately the
same margain, from $38,000 to
$36,000.
Only one campus group, the
Student’s Association, will have
a larger budget than last year.
New committees for the associa
tion account for most of the bud
get increase.

TCU Eyes More
Scientific Emphasis
The multi-billion dollar super
sonic jet fighter contract awarded
to General Dynamics in Fort
Worth has caused an upsurge of
scientific and engineering em
phasis at TCU.
A spokesman for the Fort
Worth defense plant first voiced
the opinion that technical em
phasis will increase at TCU. He
also said the awarding of the
contract will make Texas the
center of the U.S. aerospace in
dustry.
TCU’s director of public rela
tions has also predicted a large
enrollment increase at the uni
versity as a result of the new
contract.

A student opinion poll is un
derway at TCU today to deter
mine student reaction to the Na
tional Student Association, a na
tion-wide organization of college
and university student govern
ment groups.
The poll will not be binding,
but will serve as a guide for the
school’s Student Congress, which
is expected to make a decision
on TCU membership in the or
ganization.
Students are being asked first
if they feel prepared to give an
opinion on the issue, and sec
ondly if they favor or oppose
membership strongly or moder
ately.
Editor,
The Battalion:
The recent series of letters ap
pearing in The Battalion has
pointed out a very interesting
consideration. That is the fact
that there are students on our
campus interested enough to
write a letter about some phase
of campus life that they feel
strongly enough about and wish
to see some action taken on. Al
though the Cadet Corps-civilian
relation may have been one not
entirely concerning a major cam
pus problem but instead a differ
ence between a very small ma
jority, it still is an expression of
student concern.
to attend our bi-weekly meetings.
The times and dates are found
on your college calendar. This
Thursday’s meeting deals with
the often-talked-about dining
halls and the head man, Mr. Pen-
niston, will appear before the
Senate to answer and discuss
questions concerning this facil
ity. Once again I say support
your Student Senate, ypur col
lege and the Aggie way of life.
Sheldon J. Best
Student Body President

Sometimes more important
considerations are ignored
through lack of effective com
munication. The freshman elec
tions will give our youngest class
a chance to display their interest
in campus affairs and the future
of their first year at Texas A&M.
Often the voting machine be
comes a place for a man to vote
for one or two personal friends
and take calculated guesses on
other good-sounding names. To
the freshman I say, inform your
selves before you vote, for it is
your representation and voice
that is being selected.
Editor,
The Battalion:
If the quality of the graphics
displayed by the sign in the foun
tain room, advertising the Aggie
Talent Show, is any indication
of the quality of talent to be
auditioned; then “FORGET IT.”

Ilardi Resigns
UT Regent Post
Texas University’s chairman
of the Board of Regents, Judge
Thornton Hardie of El Paso, has
resigned his position and will be
replaced by Austinite W. W.
Heath, an attorney and business
man.
A six-year veteran of the
board, Hardie will retain his
board position until his term ex
pires in January. Replacements
for him and two other retiring
members will be named at that
time.
Hardie had served as chairman
of the board for two years.
Heath was formerly vice chair
man of the board and will be re
placed in that position by A. G.
McNeese of Houston.

Home-made bombs exploded on
two consecutive mornings last
week in front of a men’s dormi
tory at the University of Texas.
Both charges were attached to
the door of the building’s assist
ant manager. The first blast
blew a hole about two by three
inches in size in the inch-thick
wood door. The second charge
was apparently stuffed into the
hole made by the initial explo
sion.
Then on a larger scale, to the
student body; inform yourselves
also, take an active interest in
your college and its affairs. You
were recently told of a “Blue
print For Progress” that will
guide A&M for the next 14
years. If you are satisfied with
it, support It to the fullest; but
if you are not, let' your Student
Senate know of your feelings and
maybe as the great Aggie broth
erhood we are, some answer can
be found.
I invite any and all students
2 Churches Unite
For Study Program
Methodist and Presbyterian
students will meet at the Pres
byterian Student Center Wed
nesday night to discuss “The
Church in Modern Society,” ac
cording to A. L. Fowler, Pres
byterian chaplain.
Students will talk about
their individual ideas and con
cepts concerning the church in
an open discussion, Fowler add
ed. The meeting will start at
7:15 p.m.
The Liberty Bell was cast at
Thomas Lester’s foundry at White-
chaped, London. It arrived in Phil
adelphia safely but cracked when
written on the argument of the
Corps vs. civilians, but none of
them has brought the problem
before us as well as Cadet Slouch
by Jim Earle which appeared in
last Friday’s Battalion. In the
cartoon there are only two stu
dents with signs either pi-o or
con to the problem at hand. The
other signs range from “Down
With Everything” to “I Like
Ike.”
In my two and one-half semes
ters on this campus, I have seen
almost every controversial issue
used as an excuse for students
to yell “Down With Everything”
or “I Like Ike.” A few of these
issues, in case I am questioned,
are coeducation, name change,
compulsory Corps, spirit and
even the removal of the shrubs
from in front of the library.
Nothing is going to be gained
from the exchange of views
through The Battalion or any
other means of communication
as long as there is a large num
ber of students who prefer to sit
back and yell “I Like Ike.”
This institution is never going
to be a top school or respected
university until the students or
at least a majority of the stu
dents start thinking for them
selves and obtain the guts to
choose sides.
The students of this school
would be a much stronger body,
have much more spirit, but much
to the Aggie idea of Aggie
brotherhood, and gain many more
of their objectives with two
strongly opposing sides than they
will with the now-existing sides
and the mass majority of the
students acting as a gutless blob
between the opposing views yell
ing. “Down With Everything.”
Melvyn E. Brandt, ’65

Editor,
The Battalion:
I have read many arguments
covering both sides of the
“Corps vs. Civilian” problem in
Sound Off in the past two or
three weeks. Both sides are sure
they are right and are not going
to give in. So I would like to beg
someone who is not a confirmed
coward like myself to please burn
the MSC, blow up the Academic
Building, sell Kyle Field or some
other act on the order of the
above so that these nuts will go
back to studying instead of try
ing td out-badmouth each other,
or at least they can write letters
to Sound Off that will do some
thing other than demonstrate ig
norance and narrow-mindedness.
I thank you for your kind indul
gence.
