THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, October 18, 1963 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle “ . . . When Nanette Gabriel said that being Aggie Sweet heart was like being Snow White with 8,000 dwarfs—I fell in love with her!” Wanted: Much Stick 'um Several hours have passed since about 125 Aggies met with two former students of A&M and discussed ways to present their cause to other students, former students and the people of Texas. The majority of these people have probably settled into comfortable slumber by the time this editorial is being written. However, the staff of The Bat talion has had no desire to sleep. We have been afraid of the nightmare we might awaken in. We cannot clearly define the cause which said group intends to promote, because we have not heard it clearly defined. We have heard mumbling of co-education, saving the Corps, save A&M traditions, etc. They go on and on. We are anxious for this group, and especially the two former students who met with them Thursday evening to state just what it is that they stand for. There is one thing of which we are certain, Texas A&M University and the Corps of Cadets are in for one heck of a beating if the group that met in that Bryan city park continues their march against or for whatever it is that they are against or for. We do know this, those people who do have the interest of Texas A&M University as one of the top schools in the nation and its Corps of Cadets at heart had better rally with their stick’um with which to put A&M back together— for it is about to be tom asunder. This call is not going out to those who are either die-hard pro or con co-ed, name change, etc., but those who are more concerned with the future of A&M than its past and who are more dedicated to A&M University as an educational institution than as a rope for two factions to play tug-of-war.

DAN LOUIS JR EDITOR Ronnie Fann Managing Editor Glenn Dromgoole News Editor Jim Butler Sports Editor John Wright Asst. News Editor Marvin Schultz Asst. Sports Editor Juan Tijerina Photographer Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: Although I am not a graduate of A&M, I feel that it is time for the people of Texas, the exes of Texas A&M, and especially the students of Texas A&M to wake up and realize what is happening. The people of Texas have lost still another right in the fact that the men can longer choose to attend an all-male school if they so desire. “An all male college that once bubbled over with an intangible asset.” Through-out my life I have heard about the Spirit of the Aggies and how they would fight for something that they believed in. But upon visiting your campus Job Calls last weekend, I heard many stu dents who were unhappy with your present conditions but yet, they seemed afraid to organize and fight in unity. Being an outsider, maybe I shouldn't say anything, but I have several friends who are Aggie exes and they are fighting co-education to the end, and it’s out of respect for them that I wanted to write this letter.

Need less to say, each time the “War Hymn” sounded, chills darted up and down my backbone and mounted to my forehead with such force that had I not ran and wild-catted as a wild Co manche, I do believe I would have exploded outright. Yes, I was proud to be an Aggie to say the least, and this kind of vibrant enthusiasm seemed to flood across the partisans each as we entered our home stadium, and then it happened—it was as though some one had suddenly started dumping sewage into that bub bling stream of enthusiasm to pollute it to the extent that it sickened. Yes, it is hard to understand why some of the yell leaders are willing to sacrifice a good feeling that they bow with a base and vulgar little anecdote simply to gain popularity, to be seen; to be recognized as rough and tough or whatever they hope people think they are. Each little dirty fable made me ashamed to be an Aggie. I looked around, and only the weak conformists were giggling as vultures feeding upon carrion, but for the most part, the ladies CIVILIAN FRESHMEN All Civilian Freshmen will have their portraits made for the “Aggieland ’64” at the Ag gieland Studio, North Gate, between October 9 and October 18. Dark Coats, white shirts and ties will be the dress. fin EVEHinS WITH Mo ite. # s , ■ & m Ferreri’s Triangle Restaurant Friday’s Featuring Our FISH SPECIAL All the fish you can eat for $1.00 at 12:00 noon and from 5:00 p. m. to 8:00 p. m. Book Your Banquets and Special Parties Early. Accomodations From 10 to 200 Persons present appeared utterly dis gusted. No, I wasn’t embarrassed —it’s hard to embarrass anyone who has had 27 hours of the biological sciences at Texas A&M — but I was disgusted and ashamed to be an Aggie, a part of some dirty joke. Men, I think it is time we evaluated our Aggie philosophy of life; it seems we say one thing and do another. We say “Aggie” and “Honor” are synonymous terms, and coupled with the pride of Honor are its attributes of courage, strength, enthusiasm, and perseverance. On the other hand we sacrifice our honor in public as some of our yell leaders and others bring out their little base tales. If you want to be smutty, tell it in private, but try being a bit more creative during a public yell practice if you need a laugh, for I know some ladies were present, and for all you know there may have been gentle men in the crowd as well. We, the under-signed, support this idea.
