CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle J$ U Uetill Boai fl
Fate Of Yell Practice
Might Be Decided Friday
The final midnight yell practice ?
This could very conceivably happen Friday night as
student leaders once again try to head off possible trouble
from the drunken disorderly persons who have made such
shambles of the last several midnight yell practices.
The condtict of too many students at the last yell
practice was a disgrace to the entire student body at Texas
A&M University, and surely added fuel to the fire for those
who believe A&M students to be “unrefined.” But the actions
of those few were not spontaneous.
Midnight yell practice has degenerated for the past
several years from a very fine, and certainly unique feature
of a school whose Spirit is known the world over, to a
drunken, semi-organized riot.
Head Yell Leader Mike Marlow has warned students
that anyone caught with toilet paper Friday night will appear
before the Senior Court. It might be well to add to the
list those “who couldn’t get a date so they showed up drunk.”
There is a time and place for liquor and toilet paper, and
neither belong at midnight yell practice.
We suggest that those who have a sincere desire to
support the team and try to preserve one more tradition, go
to the yell practice Friday night. Those who want to get
drunk can find a less crowded place to drink.

Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
We would like to salute those
A&M men of the Class of ’64,
namely Bob Barsch, Bell Evans,
Charlie Lead, Joe Truett and
Roger Trienann who took issue
(in Sound Off, Oct. 18) with our
yell leaders who air their “smut
ty” stories for cheap laughs,
which I am sure are appreciated
only by a few shallow, non
thinking A&M men. We should
all, students and former stu
dents alike, build a better A&M
University by enchancing our
good reputation built on lead
ership and its fine attributes of
honor, courage, decency, enthus
iasm and good common sense.
The dirty story told in public or
private by our students or grad
uates only tarnishes A&M’s sta
ture!

Editor,
The Battalion:
It seems that there are more
than 100 nominees for Who’s
Who each year. Of this number,
I wonder how many self-center
ed individuals found it necessary
to nominate themselves?
If no one deems an individual
worthy of this honor but himself,
I question the desirability of
such an ego centered nominee.
Surely a deserving person for
Who’s Who should have at least
one person that recognizes his
scholastic and leadership abili
ties and would nominate him.
So that A&M can be assured
of a high level of deserving
Who’s Who nominees, it seems
that this situation should be cor
rected.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I am a Mother of an Aggie
and after reading the letter
written by the female, the wife,
the Mother in the recent issue
of The Battalion, I to have to
“Sound Off.” The young lady
said, “If our presence here is
causing lack of Spirit of Aggie-
land then I feel that it must have
been the wrong kind of Spirit
all along.” This is a cause of
great concern to me. Where else
in all the world do you find the
relationship that Aggie’s have
for each other. This is welded
in a man’s world (without wo
men) when you upset this atmos
phere you change it. Our great
American heritage is based on
tradition. This is one of the
things that has helped to make
our country great and when it
dies it cannot be regained.
A&M is a very special school
for our young men and I like
to think that a very special type
of young man seeks out A&M
for his higher education. I think
when a young man enrolls at
A&M he expects to find the dis
cipline of the Corps hard but
he also knows that when it is
over he will be a “man” and he
will have attained his goal of
higher education too.
We Mother’s listen to the
gripes of our boys with heavy
hearts because we cannot join in

and help in the fight to save the
Spirit of Aggieland. We know
it is dear to the heart of every
Aggie everywhere. We know the
importance of tradition in our
world today and we are appalled
at the young women of today
and her attitude of equal rights.
We would like to ask her to
stop and think again what she
is doing or rather destroying.
When there are no more moun
tains for her to climb what will
she do then, she will have des
troyed her own world and be un
happy in her new roll. I wish
that every young lady would
read with care Mr. Lloyd Shear
er’s article in Parade Magazine
of Oct. 20, entitled “Why Do
Women Go To College” and give
it careful thought after she has
gotten over her first anger when
she reads it.
I hate to see anything as won
derful as Aggie Spirit killed and
I don’t believe it will die very
easily. Once an Aggie, ahvays
an Aggie. No other school can
truthfully say this about all its
alumni.
I remember the first time I
visited the A&M campus, how
friendly everyone was. It gave
me such a warm feeling and I
didn’t feel like I was among
strangers. It wasn’t until later
when I was reading some of the
pamphlets I picked up that I
learned about the “Howdy”
tradition. Keep it up boys, you
don’t know what it does for a
stranger!
Maybe Mother’s should not
“Sound Off” but your welfare
is our concern and the Spirit
of Aggieland is very dear to
us too. We say with pride,
“My son is an Aggie.”
