it *s‘ Time To Build
The All Aggie Bonfire
It’s time for the Aggie Bonfire. If you don’t believe
it is, just take note that the rain that usually accompanies
bonfire building is here.
Because it’s time for the Aggie Bonfire, that means
it’s time for about 8,000 students to work as hard as they
do anytime during the year. We say 8,000 because this is
not an exclusive Corps Bonfire, but it is the traditional Aggie
Bonfire—built by all Aggies, burned by all Aggies and in
tended to represent the burning desire of all Aggies “to
beat th’ livin’ hell out’a TU.”
We do not believe that civilians have less desire to
build a good bonfire or beat Texas than do the members
of the Corps. However, civilian participation in bonfire
construction in past years has certainly left something to
be desired. The reason for the lack of participation has
probably stemmed from lack of organization. At least we
think so.
This is not to say that civilian student leaders in the
past have not tried to organize their troops. A similar effort,
probably with the greatest vigor ever, is being made this
year. We lend full support to the civilian organizational
plan.
Ecumenical Council Urged
To OK Religious Liberty
i!S<
fill
VATICAN CITY (A>) — The
Vatican Ecumenical Council was
urged Tuesday to act against
the legacy of Nazi anti-Semitism
and proclaim the universal right
. to religious liberty.
Both issues have created con
troversy at the gathering of
2,300 church fathers. But the ap
peals for council declarations on
anti-Semitism and man’s right
to worship as he wishes filled St.
Peter’s with prolonged applause.
The plea for better Catholic-
Jewish relations came from Au
gustin Cardinal Bea, German-
born president of the Vatican’s
Secretariat for Promoting Christ
ian Unity.
A day after three Middle East
prelates assailed the document
as dangerous for Christians in
Arab nations, the 82-year-old
Jesuit stressed anew that the
statement had no political sig
nificance.
Cardinal Bea said the decla
ration was needed now to re
move from Christian minds any
false ideas fostered by Nazi
propaganda linking anti-Semi
tism to Church teachings.
Bishop Emile Josef Marie de
Smedt of Belgium said a declar
ation on religious liberty would
promote the cause of Christian
unity, provide a defense against
communism and encourage peace
among all men.
The Belgian prelate also said
a proclamation on religious
freedom would help Christian
unity — “in view of the fact that
many non-Catholics hold the
Church in aversion and suspect
her of Machiavellianism for al
legedly demanding religious free
dom where she is in a minority
and ignoring it when she gets
control.”
He cautioned, however, that re
ligious freedom does not meat
man is free to solve his religious
problems by “personal whim and
caprice and with no moral obliga-
tions to God.”
He urged approval of the dec
laration before the Dec. 4 re
cess as a sign of council progress.
Head Yell Leader Mike Marlow has set aside a special
cutting area for civilian students this year. There is no
reason why that area can’t produce as many logs for the
Aggie Bonfire as any other area.-
-
“I’m not really hurt! This is my outfit’s idea to make
everyone safety conscious before th’ bonfire!”
Bulletin Board
We urge civilian students to band together in ax swing
ing, log toting, bonfire building crews and set a rapid pace
for the Corps to match.
Sound Off
Only 2 Days Left
In Campus Chest Drive
The Campus Chest, a program designed to assist Aggies,
is presently in need of assistance from Aggies.
Allan Peterson, Student Senate Student Welfare Com
mittee chairman and chairman of the Campus Chest drive,
reported Tuesday night that the drive is far short of its
$5,000 goal. In fact the collections have not reached the
50 per cent mark. The goal for Campus Chest is often set
too high—sometimes this is done intentionally. Therefore,
it is understandable that the goal is seldom attained. But
really Aggies—less than 50 per cent of a $5,000 goal among
more than 8,000 students is just a plain poor effort.
Friday is the deadline for this year’s drive. That leaves
two full days to “get on the stick.”
There are 10 Corps units which have not submitted the
first dollar to the Campus Chest. The problem in these
cases is pretty apparent. There are some seniors who have
failed to get off their dead sides. You fellows know who
you are, so get with it.
That leaves one more of the two large groups of Aggies
on campus—the civilians. These people are much harder
to coordinate, and those responsible for coordinating are not
so easily determined as in the case of the Corps. But the
dorm presidents cannot be relieved of some of the laxity
toward the Campus Chest.
The civilian student, as an individual, must also accept
some of the responsibility. The Campus Chest never asks
if a man is non-reg or Corps before assistance is given.
Editor,
The Battalion:
While College Station is hardly
the crossroads of the cosmopoli
tan world, I would certainly have
expected better manners and
more understanding than that
shown by Mr. Marvin Oehl, ’64.
When it is painfully apparent
that many of the supposedly 14-
caret, 100 per cent American stu
dents on this campus don’t speak
grammatical, recognizable Eng
lish, it seems unreasonable to ex
pect our “foreign students to.
As for casting asperions on
their intelligence or their social
desirability! — This only serves
to point our Mr. Oehl’s lament
able lack in these areas. It is not
difficult to imagine him as the
personification of the blustering
American tourist who manages
to insult people in every country
he visits by shouting, “Why the
hell don’t they speak English a-
round here?” Since he can speak
nothing else. You might as well
accept the, Mr. Oehl — there are
other languages in the world,
spoken by people more educated
and cultured than you or I will
ever be. Many of these langu
ages have finer shades of mean
ing, more philosophic under
tones, and so are more suitable
for conversation than our own.
Actually it makes little difference to which of the two _
groups you belong. Regardless if you are of the Corps, __ i /t//o
non-regs, graduates or undergraduates, reaching the Campus
Chest goal is something like beating TU—everyone should
want it accomplished.

These students are also, no doubt,
pretty lonely on this campus, and
feel a little bewildered by the
overwhelming friendliness of peo^
pie like you. Their own langu
age, in leisure moments, makes
them feel just a little less
strange. By the way, what lang
uages did your ancestors speak
when they got off the boat?

Editor,
The Battalion:
I would like to comment on
a letter which appeared in the
November 13 Battalion by Mr.
Marvin Oehl.
I have visited the A&M cam
pus often and have heard the use
of foreign languages by the stu
dents. I see nothing wrong with
this.
I have heard groups of Aggies
speaking English and just be
cause it’s English doesn’t make
what some of them say pleasant.
You don’t have to speak a for
eign language to sould like a
scatterbrain. I think the A&M
campus is a wonderful, friendly
place to visit and most of the
young men are very polite, but if
a person is lucky enough to know
another language he should be
allowed to speak it when and
where he wishes.
