Late 12th Man Bowl
Catches Up With Us
Hotchkiss, issues committee chairman, reported that planners
had “run into difficulties” with the athletic department.
Liberal Arts Loses Out
Most of A&M’s many liberal arts students probably left
Sunday’s Muster with a rather sick feeling in their hearts.
They had heard one of the college’s highest officials, a mem
bers of the board of directors, twice list the areas where
A&M should try to improve in the coming years. Not in
cluded in either list was the liberal arts field.
Mr. Peterson twice listed agriculture, engineering, archi
tecture and the sciences as areas where A&M should try to
be first in the state.
One of A&M’s biggest criticisms throughout the years
has been directed toward its inferiority in the liberal arts.
With the college very likely on the treshold of becoming a
university, continued neglect of the liberal arts hardly seems
appropriate or possible.
We fail to understand how A&M can be an outstanding
university without an equally outstanding liberal arts pro
gram.

CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
It looks is if the old practice of holding the 12th Man
Bowl so late in the year has finally caught up with us.
Although there is still a possibility that something can be
worked out, chances are that a Corps vs. Civilians football
clash will not be held this year.
At Thursday night’s Student Senate meeting, Doug
Hotchkiss had been trying to talk with Athletic Director
Hank Foldberg since early March and finally contacted Bar-
low (Bones) Irvin, assistant athletic director, and S. M.
Meeks, equipment manager, last week.
They told him that the playing area on Kyle Field would
not be available because a sprinkler system was being in
stalled and that football equipment had been cleaned and
stored or was under repair.
The athletic department feels that the matter was
brought to them too late. Foldberg expressed regrets Thurs
day night and said he would talk to committee members to see
if anything could be worked out.
He also pointed out, as did Irvin and Meeks, that the
12th Man Bowl planners have been asked each year if the
annual game could be held earlier. The athletic department
has suggested that the game be held in December, or at least
much earlier in the spring.
Why not?
Usually, the athletic department has cooperated with
the 12th Man Bowl tradition by providing equipment and a
playing field. Late in the spring semester, when the business
of getting ready for next season’s varsity football season
should be underway, this cooperation understandably gets
to be somewhat of an inconvenience.
It’s true that Foldberg is often out of town. But Irvin
and Meeks have the authority to deal in such matters and
they are seldom unavailable. We feel that if the game “has”
to be held so late in the year, at a time inconvenient for most
students as well as the athletic department, at least the
planners could set things up early enough.
“ ... I’ve never worked as hard in preparing for an exam—
I’ve been up for three nights looking for old quizzes!”
Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
My name is Bob Miller and I
am running for the office of
public relations chairman of the
Student Senate.
High School Career Day was
supposed to be one of the main
projects of this committee this
year, but due to a misunderstand
ing the public relations commit
tee did not handle it.
I feel, as most of you do, that
bringing prospective Aggies to
the campus, showing them what
really goes on and making them
feel welcome will help us draw
more students to the school. If
the public relations committee
can present a pi'ogram for these
people that they will enjoy as
well as get some benefit from,
the committee has done its job.
As chairman of the committee, I
feel that I could help in prepar
ing such a program.
We are all aware of the pub
licity that the student body re
ceives. I feel that something
should be done by the student
body to let other people know
that we aren’t “animals” going
to college. Through The Bat
talion and other information
services, I believe that the public
relations committee could help
dispell this image.
I also believe that the student
body should be told of what goes
on within the school concerning
them. If elected, I will do the
best I can to achieve these
projects.
Along with the other candi
dates running in this election, I
would like to ask you to vote—
if not for me, someone else—but
vote.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I am writing in behalf of Butch
Palm, candidate for vice presi
dent of the Student Senate. I
feel that Butch can do an out
standing job in this position as
he has this last year as sopho
more representative from the
School of Agriculture. Although
a Corps student, throughout this
year, Butch has strived to better
relations between the Corps and
civilians.
I think Butch has the qualities
we all admire in a practical poli
tician; he is neither dogmatic nor
yielding in his approach to prob
lems, but rather studies the issues
and bases his decision with the
welfare of all students in mind.
Butch feels, as do many mem
bers of the freshman and sopho
more classes, that the choice of
the name on the college ring
should be theirs.
If you feel the same as I do
about the kind of person we need
for vice president of the Student
Senate, remember to vote for
Butch Palm in Wednesday’s elec
tion.

Editor,
The Battalion:
My name is Allan Peterson and
I am running for chairman of
the student welfare committee of
the Student Senate.
The welfare committee has
three major functions each year.
First, the selling of student in
surance; next, the Campus Chest
drive; and then the Blood Drive,
which is coming up Wednesday.
I am very interested in pro
moting these functions and any
other jobs as they are designated
by the president. Most of all,
here I will have the opportunity
to try and create a better student
interest in the activities around
campus. This is the highest goal
any student body can achieve, and
I intend to do my best to see that
the student body at A&M does
reach this goal.
I refer to Mr. Peterson at the
Muster Sunday. “We are all
Aggies and members of the stu
dent body.” The Student Senate
is not for the Corps or civilians

individually. It is the governing
sector of the entire student body.
It is everyone’s responsibility
as a member of the student body,
as well as a citizen of the United
States, to take his part and open
a door to voice his opinions on
the affairs that involve him.
This election does concern each
student, so I urge each of the
members of the student body to
go to the polls Wednesday. After
they get to the polls, and see who
the candidates are, I ask them,
if they see fit, to vote for me.

We endorse for president of
the Student Senate a man who
has served his apprenticeship in
student government and campus
activities, and who has demon
strated those qualities of dili
gence, ability and leadership we
need in the high office involved.
Jeff Harp is interested in and
concerned with literally all facets
of student life on our campus.
This past year, he has served
efficiently and enthusiastically
the office of Civilian Student
