Civilians: Where Are We Headed? For the past two or three weeks the Sound Off column of The Battalion has been used as a sounding board for arguments pro and con on the latest upsurge of a Corps vs. civilian controversy. We hope every student realizes the Sound Off column has been created for the student body, and not for the staff of The Battalion. But we can’t help but wonder just what has been accomplished by the latest verbal outbursts. In reality, little has been accomplished. But what really can be accomplished on such an issue? Surely a certain amount of disagreement has existed between the two fac tions since the existance of the Corps and civilian student body. We hope most students realize a certain amount of dis agreement will inevitably continue. So why have members of both groups chosen one isolated incident to suddenly create a verbal outbreak that could easily become more serious than any of the current participants realize? The Battalion is definitely not condoning this one inci dent that started the current controversy. But neither can we blame any party for the car-yell practice disagreement in front of Sbisa Hall that started the fuss. Surely no student had a right to, break the aerial from another’s car; but neither did the driver of that car have a right to try to drive through the collected student mass gathered in the street for the particular yell practice. Also we realize that every student on campus has a right to express his views on this or any other subject. But why go to the trouble when a real, workable solution is practically impossible ? Or maybe some student or group of students has come up with a solution. If so, this answer would be received here and by numerous other campus groups with sincere expres sions of joy. For years students and administrators have banged their heads against a wall trying to find a real, practical answer. Indeed steps have been made in the right direction, but much more could conveivably be done. A few answers would be appreciated. More of the same, overworked personal opinions will do little to solve anything. — Sound Off — “ If we ever find our way outa here, we oughta suggest to th’ librarian that they make a map of th’ stacks!” Editor, The Battalion: After watching a fired-up gang of Texas Aggies almost pull the upset of the year in Austin on Thanksgiving Day, I was more convinced than ever that this team was the best by far that we’ve had since I’ve been here. I was very proud of the way they fought the heavily-favored Longhorns to a virtual standstill. You can be rest assured that this was a well-coached team with the will to win and spirit that never died. They were a credit to this great institution the entire sea son. So, hats off to a fine team and a fine coaching staff. I’m sure that I speak for everyone when I say that we’re proud of the great job you did this season and are looking forward to even bigger and better things next| season.
