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.

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.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Last Friday night I attended
midnight Yell Practice, and with
relish drank in and contributed to
the Spirit of Aggieland. 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

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.
