The Corps Vs. 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.

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.
