THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH
Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 12, 1964
Tremendous Effort-
Championship Still Ahead
In the very truest sense the Aggies were not beaten last
night, but only outscored—and by a very small margin at
that.
We sincerely hope that Coach Shelby Metcalf and the
Aggie cagers don’t feel badly about that little Lubbock trip.
We certainly don’t see anything for Aggies to be disap
pointed about. The Ags put up a tremendous effort and
we’re still looking forward to the second round of conference
play and a Southwest Conference championship.
The display of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Spirit at Easter-
wood Field last night was living proof of the never-say-die
Spirit that is characteristic of only Fightin’ Texas Aggies—
“it’s the Spirit of Aggieland.”
Just as that ball club can know that it played a cham
pion’s ballgame in Lubbock, the Seniors who will be gradu
ating this May can rest assured—after last night—that the
Spirit of Aggieland lives on; and that it will continue to
live on.
We are confident that the Aggie basketball team will
perform in the true style of Aggies and make the Rice Owls
wish Saturday night that Tech had come out on the short
end of the stick. Tech has been played, and played well, the
next hurdle to the SWC title are the birds from down
Houston way.
It’s up to the students and the citizens of Bryan and
College Station to see to it that G. Rollie White is filled to
capacity Saturday night. We’ve got a winning team and
they deserve all the support we can muster for them.

Someday Says John Birch®
NEW YORK 6P) — A John
Birch Society publication con
tains an article in its current
issue saying that as long as
there are Americans, the late
President John F. Kennedy’s
“memory will be cherished with
distaste.” It speculates on the
possibility they “will curse him”
some day.
John Welch, founder of the
society and editor of the publi
cation, the American Opinion,
described the article as “su
perb commentary.”
The article appears under the
name of Revillo P. Oliver, pro
fessor of classics at the Univer
sity of Illinois. He is a member
of the society’s national commis
sion.
Oliver wrote that Kennedy:
—“Procured his election by
peddling boob-bait to the suck
ers.”
—“Supported the Central In-

“I thought that since married men were exempt from the
draft, they’d be exempt from R.O.T.C., but they say this
isn’t th’ case—Even though marriage puts ’em through a
much stiffer regimentation program!”

Editor,
The Battalion:
Congratulations on your mag
nificent journalistic fortitude.
Your February 7 editorial would
have made Joseph Pulitzer proud.
In times like these it must take
raw courage to come out in favor
of the American Flag.
Next, you must strike a blow
for honor, charity and mother
hood. And the . . . well, who
knows? Perhaps you can even
unleash your fury against TV
western villains.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Recently a member of the
Batt staff lamented on the plight
of the pedestrian crossing streets
on the A&M campus. It remind
ed me when a friend of mine
jerked me out of the path of a
car which I am certain was
traveling at least 20 or 25 miles
per hour too fast in that parti
cular speed zone. Of course I
should have been looking where I
was going, but there would have
been no chance whatsoever for
that driver to stop before hitting
me had my friend not pulled me
back.
In my 3% years at A&M this
condition has not changed. Very
few people drive the speed limits
on campus. The situation is
dangerous. Certainly rights of
the pedestrian are not respected.
I wonder how many speeding
tickets have been given this year
by the local authorities. I have
never seen any overt regula
tion of the campus speed limit
laws nor have I heard of any —
in 3y 2 years.

Editor,
The Battalion:
In his recent article concern
ing the President’s State of the
Union message, Reynolds came
forth with a quite incorrect state
ment. He implied that liberals,
apparently anyone who has poor
spitting ability or swings a sign
with his left hand, wished Gold-
water would disappear. Quite
the contrary is true, because we
enjoy Senator Goldwater. We
thing he is a very intelligent man
for not having a college educa
tion — and besides he has a very
good comedy routine. His pro
gram of banishment of the T.V.
A., non-recognition of Russia,
criticism of the ability of our
ICBMs, and return to the Arti
cles of Confederation are some
of his best jokes. They must be
jokes for that seems to be the
public’s reaction to them. So
you see, Johnson, as did Ken-

nedy, does not fear Goldwater
as a candidate because all he has
to do is see that the American
people are able to hear the Ariz
ona “clown” everytime he sticks
his plastered foot in his mouth,
which seems to be his uncontrol
lable habit.
In my opinion the Conservative
movement is the biggest farce in
American politics today. Its god
is Goldwater, who can do no
wrong, and anyone who ques
tions his opinions is either a
Socialist or Communist. It is
not a patriotic movement but
rather a revolution of hate, bi
gotry and ignorance. It is a
combination of the John Birchers,
Segregationists, DARs, and old
Klu Klux Klaners. Its direc
tion is backward, its position
awkard, and its membership
geared to the fanatic. The Con
servative movement belongs with
Senator Goldwater’s policies in
the age of the French Revolu
tion; however, the French were
for “equality” weren’t they?
Therefore, I would like to sug
gest a name change of the article
“Reynolds’ Rap” to “Reynolds
Rants Right.”
