All Right, We Admit It!
W e 're For ROTC!
There seems to be an increasing inclination on the part
of those who consider themselves outstandingly progressive
to question the wisdom, motives and judgement of those who
seek to hold on to a few things which have been established
in the past. (When could anything get established, except
in the past?)
To mix a metaphor you might head it like this.
“He’s a mossback: he hasn’t emerged from the horse and
buggy stage.”
Or the crushing re joiner might be,
“That was all right in the 18th Century; but we can’t
live by those rules in the 21st Century.”
It has gotten so bad that we hate to even mention the
word “Tradition”, for fear that someone will consider us out
moded (and we still feel rather full of life!)
Some of these moderns take special exception to the
use of the word “patriotic”. The comment, usually disdainful,
is that the party concerned is a “chauvinist”.
The gentle reader will understand therefore the trepida
tion with which we deal with the subject of ROTC. For one
thing ROTC is 100 years old. That means it started back in
the 1960’s! Great shades of Jeb Stuart! How “horse and
buggy” can you get?
Somehow, though, we still think it is a pretty good idea
to start our youngsters out in life with a little understanding
of (and pray forgive me for using these old-fashioned words)
“duty, honor, and country.”
We are not really old fashioned. We just think there are
a few things that are timeless, unchanging, and deserving of
a permanent place in our “way of life”, and that when we
abandon the ancient truth—that a civilization can survive
only as long as its people are willing to die for it—then we are
abandoning the basic purpose of life. Somehow, we cannot
get away from the idea that the institution of ROTC is part
and parcel of that concept.
Old fashioned or not, we want to see this country re
main strong and free.—(Taken from the November, 1963,
issue of The Officer, a publication of the Reserve Officers
Association of the United States.)

Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
For the last two months there
has been a concentrated effort
by certain former students to
force the Board of Directors to
change their decision to allow
girls to attend Texas A&M. Since
this concentrated campaign be
gan, they have received letters of
support from A&M Exes Clubs,
A&M Mothers Clubs, individual
former students, and many inter
ested people who have no direct
connection with Texas A&M.
It is the consenus of most stu
dents on this campus that the
Board of Directors decision is
final and that nothing can be
done to change this decision.
This is a serious misconception.
Something can and will be done.
However, it is very important at
this time that the students of
Texas A&M let it be known to
the Board of Directors and to
the people of Texas that they are
against continuation of the policy
of co-education at this Univer
sity. The best way you can help
persuade the Board of Directors
to change their decision is by
writing letters to the members
of the Board and to your state
legislators. The time to act is
now.

Editor,
The Battalion:
After having read the letter
from Mrs. Jean Compton in your
Oct. 24 issue, I, as an Aggie
Mother, would like to add a loud
and hearty A-M-E-N. We might
not carry much weight in our
sounding off — but it helps to
get a load off our chests by let
ting others know.
The Aggie Spirit is one of the
traditions that has long been held
in awe by our boys and some
thing that should never be des
troyed.
May it be carried on and never
change.
Mrs. E. M. Bogart
