Bonfire Construction
Represents Aggie Men
On© of the greatest demonstrations of team effort to
be displayed on any campus of any university anywhere in
the world will be displayed on the A&M campus this weekend.
We will readily admit that the construction of the Aggie
Bonfire doesn’t do much for the academic quality of our
University. But one thing is for sure, the construction
of the world’s largest bonfire—-which the Aggie Bonfire
most certainly is—demonstrates one of the characteristics
that have won Aggies respect around the world. That one
characteristic is the Aggies’ ability to take on the biggest
of jobs and then do it well.
And to those who might ask such a question, we want
to say now—no. Aggies do not intend to spend the rest of
their lives building bonfires, but they will always be among
the first to take on a task that might be considered by others
as impossible.
There is not a man who will participate in the con
struction of the Aggie Bonfire who will not be a better man
for having done so. He will have grown tired, too tired to
work any longer, but he will continue to work because the
job won’t be finished simply because he is tired.
We want to promise the fish, who have never worked
on an Aggie Bonfire before, that they are about to undergo
an experience they will never forget and one that will seldom
be matched—regardless of what they might accomplish
during their lives. For many of the Class of ’67 the Aggie
Bonfire will be their first experience at accomplishing the
apparently impossible. Learn the lesson well and it will
go with you through life.
— White House
For Bogdown
“ . . . Before we dismiss let’s say ‘Good Bye’ to those
of you who won’t survive th’ Bonfire—we’ll miss you!”
Aggies make much of the fact that the Aggie Bonfire
is our way of expressing the burning desire Aggies have
to beat the living hell out of the University of Texas Thanks
giving Day. But the eyes of the world can see—and they
will see—that just as Aggies, that have become so well
known around the world, have gone forth and conquered
life and its many obstacles in the past, so they intend to
continue to go forth and conquer in the future.
Labor Asking Congress
To Control News Mergers
We have spent some space and time blowing our own
horn; but we feel that that horn sounds with a quality that
the world has learned to know and appreciate because “We
are the Aggies, The Aggies are we!”

NEW YORK (A*) _ The AFL-
CIO called today for a Justice
Department investigation of all
newspaper mergers or suspen
sions.
It adopted a resolution asking
Congress for a law requir
ing newspaper publishers to
give the Department of Justice
9 days notice of any contemplat
ed merger, consolidation or ac
quisition.
The resolution asked that the
Justice Department prosecute
any case in which it finds the
merger or suspension of news
papers violates antimono
poly laws.
The resolution would require
publishers to give advance no
tice to all labor organizations
involved in a proposed merger,
suspension or sale of a news
paper.

WASHINGTON <A>) Republi
can congressional leaders said
today “President Kennedy’s leg
islative program is in a mess’
and “the blame lies squarely on
the White House doorstep.”
“In the final analysis,” said
Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Il
linois, the Senate GOP chief, “it
is President Kennedy’s own mis
management of his legislative
program that has kept Congress
in session since last January and
everybody in Washington knows
it.”
Rep. Charles Halleck of Indi
ana, party leader in the House,
said the record since Kennedy
took office, “adds up to almost
total failure for what undoubt
edly will be known as the three
empty years.
“With the Democrat in con
trol of the White House and
every government agency, and
with a 2-1 majority in the Sen
ate and a 3-2 majority in the
House of Representatives, Mr.
Kennedy can have no alibi.
