The wisdom of A«^M University students has been demonstrated in recent years by their readiness to grasp the opportunity of digesting the wisdom of national and international figures that have been attracted to the A&M Student Conference on National Affairs. That opportunity is once again at the doorstep of all students on campus, and of the residents of Bryan and College Station. Even in the large metropolitan areas, one seldom hears as many knowledgeable men speak in a year as can be heard at SCONA in a few short days. It has been only one year since the now President Lyndon B. Johnson came to this campus to address the SCONA delegates and thousands of citizens in this area. This same slate of speakers included the president of the Organization of American States, a former U. N. Ambassador and numerous other informative and interesting personalities who had a treasure of knowledge to present to those who just care to listen. The same is true of this year’s slate of speakers. The slate of keynote speakers that has been lined up by this year’s SCONA committee can be described as only excellent for discussing the selected theme of “U. S. Monetary and Fiscal Policy, A Taxpayer’s View.” To assist the student delegate* in discussing the speakers’ talks the committee has invited 17 capable individuals to serve as roundtable chairmen. These same men are available to the students on the campus just for the effort of going to the MSC and taking a seat in the sessions. This is not only a rare opportunity, but almost an obligation for the student to take advantage of this offering if he is to earn an important place in the United States of America of tomorrow.

As we have all discovered, the adjustment to Aggie life is a hard one to make; however, we have done it. We are now beginning to feel the ’’Aggie Spirit” and the love of this great school and its traditions. As a class, we need to unite and pre serve the traditions that mean so much to all Aggies and now mean the same to us. Since this is a fast moving age, necessary changes will be made from time to time. But, the basic ideas that have made A&M a great university must be carried on. The most important function left for our class will be the Fish Ball. I feel that with past experience and help from all of you, we can show the capabili ties of the Class of ’67. I would like to lead this class and be a part in guiding it at the begin ning of its four year career here at A&M.

Thus far only a little over a hundred signatures have been obtained. What happened to the many members that were be lieved to support the bill? It seems that a matter of “House procedures” is binding the consciences of many liberal Democrats as well as most Re publicans, pertaining to, of course, the use of a petition. There is no denying that legal procedure is nothing to be flaunt ed at, especially at a govern mental level. However, is seems regretable that many members of the House are unable to bring themselves to act in such a de cisive manner as to give the bill .uihat makest? ideal Hr □ Your hourly need: constructive ideas.

The words of Roy Wilkins, head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, might well be heeded by all when he said recently “if members of Congress put civil rights opposition on a political basis in 1963, we shall put it on a political basis at the ballot box in 1964.” COACH NORTON’S PANCAKE HOUSE 35 varieties of finest pancakes, aged heavy KC steaks, shrimp, and other fine foods.
