Where Are The Qualified?
It is regretable that the Election Commission had to
vote Saturday morning to postpone the upcoming General
Election; however, a look at the reasons for the action might
be revealing to the student body.
Commission Chairman A1 Wheeler said the postpone
ment was necessary because several of the candidates who
had filed lost their eligibility due to scholastic reasons.
Therefore, some positions were left without any candidates
A couple of questions that come to mind immediately
are—Where are our qualified students, and why aren’t they
running for the student government positions ?
Some of those students who have been declared ineligible
because of grades are capable in every other way to hold the
positions. Certainly some of the ineligibles have arrived at
such a state because of extended work with student activities
in the past.
Students who do have the grades to qualify for student
government positions have not been relieved of their duty
to file for the positions.
The obligation of these students is derived from the
fact that they will be filling similar positions in their com
munities in years to come. Just as they are enrolled in school
to study for a profession, so should these capable students
train themselves to become leaders in the communities where
they will make their homes.

A Job Well Done
The YMCA Cabinet and its speakers deserve a word of
praise for their choice of subjects for the recent Marriage
Forum and the handling of those subjects.
“ .. Welcome to the Dean’s office! We are sorry to say that
we don’t have the authority to excuse you from class before
the Easter holidays except on official college trips! Next
man please! This is a recording!’’
In a time when most people are either reluctant to break
with old ideas or completely turn their backs on the old and
plunge into a “modern concept,” Forum speakers dared to
combine the two types of thinking to solve marriage problems.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I hope you will print this letter
as I want to state several of my
opinions concerning the letter
you printed from a Tessie on
March 27, 1963.
Having left T.W.U.’s ivy cover
ed domain only two months ago to
become a resident at A&M (Col
lege View) I might consider my
self versed somewhat better than
the young- lady who wrote the
letter about A&M and T.W.U. I
want to say that I dearly love
both schools, even though I know
I just made enemies with that
statement.
Certainly one cannot ignore the
worsening of the friendship of
these brother-sister schools. I
didn’t know just how bad it was
until I got down here, and now
I have heard a lot of slams at
T.W.U. There are always a few
people who are not content to
leave things to themselves. What
Miss Armstrong said about A&M
is certainly very thoughtless if not
unforgivable. If she knew what
Aggies were really like she would
have thought nothing of their
pranks. Personally I enjoy going-
on campus and having the
“animals react.”
As for her statement “I didn’t
know they hated girls . . .!” I
have yet to meet an Aggie who

was j-evulsed at the sight of a
girl (unless she actually looked
like Miss Shagnasty’s cousin once
removed from the human race).
My point is this! I hope that
just because one spoil sport tries
to cause some trouble that you
won’t judge all Tessies by her.
There are a few rotten apples in
every barrel and that’s true any
where. I personally feel that
T.W.U. has as many loyal stu
dents as does A&M and that both
schools believe in their traditions
and customs.
At T.W.U. we face just as much
ridicule and brow beating from
other schools and people as A&M
does. Being an all women’s uni
versity does call a lot of prank
sters and jokesters on our back.
I hate to hear anyone make fun
of T.W.U. or A&M because to
me they mean so much.
I hope that one girl’s article
that runs down A&M and Aggies
doesn’t worsen the conditions be
tween T.W.U. and A&M.

NOW YOU CAN BE YOUNGER
THAN SHE IS
It is a scientific fact that girls reach emotional maturity earls
than boys. For this reason freshman girls are reluctant to nufe
romantic alliances with freshman boys, but instead choose ma
from the upper classes.
Thus the freshman boys are left dateless, and many is tl*
night the entire freshman dorm sobs itself to sleep. An equal;
moist situation exists among upper-class girls. With upper-i
men being snapped up by freshman girls, the poor ladies of ft!
upper class are reduced to dreary, manless evenings of Mono]*
oly and home permanents.
It pleasures me to report there is a solution for this mori
situation—indeed, a very simple solution. Why don’t the tw
great have-not groups—the freshman boys and the upper-class
girls—find solace with each other?
True, there is something of an age differential, but thatnd
not matter. Take, for example, the case of Albert Pays®
Sigafoos and Eustacia Vye.
- Albert Payson, a freshman in sand and gravel at Vanderbilt
University, was walking across the campus one day, weeping
softly in lus loneliness. Blinded by tears, he stumbled upon

ffie supine form of Eustacia Vye, a senior in wicker and raffia,
who was collapsed in a wretched heap on the turf.
“Why don’t you watch where you’re going, you minor youth??
said Eustacia peevishly.
“I’m sorry, lady,” said' Albert Payson and started to move
on. But suddenly he stopped, struck by an inspiration. “Lady,"
he said, tugging his forelock, “don’t think me forward, but I
know why you’re miserable. It’s because you can’t get a date.
Well, neither can I. So why don’t we date each other?”
“Surely you jest!” cried Eustacia, looking with scorn upon
his tiny head and body.
“Oh, I know I’m younger ffian you are,” said Albert Payson,
“but that doesn’t mean we can’t find lots of fun things to do
together.”
“Like what?” she asked.
“Well,” said Albert Payson, “we could build a Snowman.”
“Bah!” said Eustacia, grinding her teeth.
“All right then,” said Albert Payson, “we could go down to
the pond and catch some frogs.”
“Ugh!” said Eustacia, shuddering her entire length.
“How about some Run-Sheep-Run?” suggested Albert Payson.
“You are callow, green, and immature,” said Eustacia, “and
I will thank you to remove your underaged presence from
mine eyes.”
Sighing, Albert Payson lighted a cigarette and started away.
“Stay!” cried Eustacia,
He stayed.
“Was that a Marlboro Cigarette you just lighted?” she asked.
“What else?” said Albert Payson.
“Then you are not immature!” she exclaimed, clasping him
to her clavicle. “For to smoke Marlboros is the very essence
of wisdom, the height of American know-how, the incontro
vertible proof that you can tell gold from dross, right from
wrong, fine aged tobaccos from pale, pathetic substitutes. Albert
Payson, if you will still have me, I am yours!”
“I will,” he said, and did, and today they are married and
