I Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, January 16, 1964 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle “ . . . Everybody smokes more during final week ‘cause we get tense which increases our chances of lung cancer! Universities ought to join th’ fight against cancer an’ cut out exams!” BATTALION EDITORIALS Let’s Get Those Borderline Cases With the closing of the Fall semester and the one-week lapse before the beginning of the Spring semester, A&M students once again will have the opportunity to talk with graduating high school seniors about their need for a college education and the facilities A&M has to offer them. Many high school graduates-to-be find themselves in a predicament about this time of the year, as they cope with the problem of deciding at which college or university they will spend four of the most decisive years of their lives. Some are dedicated to one school or another, but many are still searching. These students are apt to take what sounds like the best offer to them. To this group Aggies should make their appeal. One of the best methods of reaching this group is by speaking to them as a group. Some Aggies, especially those from the smaller high schools, might persuade their high school principals to allow them to speak to the male May graduates. . ... However, it must be remembered that a student can do more harm than good for his school if he makes a bad presen tation. He should have some concrete facts about A&M: degree opportunities, costs, Corps life, tradition and possibilities after graduation, to mention a few. To close his informal talk, the student should invite anyone who might desire further material to see him individ ually. Above all, he should invite the students to feel free to visit his school at any time. He might stress the A&M High School Career Day program scheduled for March 14. Aggies may secure information which they might find helpful from the Office of the Registrar in the Richard Coke Building.

DAN LOUIS JR EDITOR Ronnie Fann Managing Editor Glenn Dromgoole, John Wright News Editors Jim Butler Sports Editor Marvin Schultz Asst. Sports Editor Mike Reynolds, Robert Sims, Bob Shulz Staff Writers Herky Killingsworth Photographer Reynolds ’ Rap by Mike Reynolds Sound Off Bulletin Board A man of many faces, or at least many policies, is what President Lyndon B. Johnson did his best to appear as in his State of the Union message last week. He was definitely looking a- head to the election in November, and at the same time, he was most assuredly casting his eye over his shoulder at the shadow of his most likely opponent, Bar ry Goldwater, who is still hot on the tail of the present Demo cratic administration—be it Ken nedy or Johnson—despite all of the liberals’ wishing that he would dissappear. President Johnson declared that this will be a year of frugality, tax cuts and balanced, as well as reduced, budgets, trying hard to appeal to the moderate conserva tive that is fast shaping up as the vote to get in 1964. Yet at the same time he de clared a “War on Poverty,” as he calls it, and inside sources at the White House have been re ported as saying he has allocated roughly $1 billion to the pro gram. He has also given hardy “me too” to almost every one of John F. Kennedy’s pro grams. One can’t help but wonder, “Where is it all going to come from.” A person is placed in the same situation as that of a shopper in a bargain basement. When he begins to look at the wide selection of goods at a bar gain price, he naturally begins to wonder at the quality of the mer chandise and if he should bother with it at all. Congress should also wonder! How are they to review and pass a program of welfare, relief and social legislation when they are also faced with the Civil Rights Bill and its controversial public accomodations clause, a tax bill that is definitely needed if the nation is to keep away from de ficit spending and other programs that have been around much long er and are probably more im portant anyway. All of these measures could not possibly be considered in the time available, and if it is, how is Johnson going to keep the bud get below $100 billion at a time when the population is increas ing at a rate of several million a year. Yes, Johnson would do well to glance over his shoulder at Gold- water, for this man is not going to let him forget this business. These are the things the cam paign will be made of. Editor, The Battalion: Surely Mr. Wright could not have written the article appear ing in the January 9 issue of The Battalion. Amid the grow ing conservative minded students in colleges and universities a- cross the United States and es pecially at Texas A&M, I am amazed that we apparently have Lindsey, Smith Get New Bank Position Bryan’s First Bank and Trust Co. has announced the addition of two A&M University officials, Jim Lindsey, Director of the De partment of University Informa tion and Publications and Ro bert L. Smith Jr., head of the Data Processing Center, to its board of directors. At a meeting Tuesday, the board appointed Lindsey and Smith, previously advisors to the group, as full directors. no conservative representation in our school paper. How can any logically minded person review Lyndon B. John son’s “State of the Union Mes sage” and not be intellectually offended ? 1. Do you believe it is possible to have a world without hate . . . to have abundance for all and want for none forever more ? 2. Do you believe it a sound economic principle to cut federal revenue and not cut federal spending proportionately ? 3. Do you believe a man owning a public enterprise should be compelled to serve people against his will ? 4. Lastly, and most important, do you believe that it is the res ponsibility of the rich to support the poor ? If you are so shallow minded as to support these policies set forth by L.B.J. and to think that Senator Barry Goldwater will to take issue with them, I feel sorry for you.
