Why No RE Week?
Just why has Religious Emphasis Week on the A&M
University campus dried up on the vine?
The lack of co-operation might be considered as a major
factor. It appears that a number of groups have simply
squirmed from under their RE Week obligations.
We found ourselves inclined to agree with the decision
of the administration to discontinue RE services during
regular hours last year. It was very evident that the campus
coffee shops attracted far more students than did the
services.
However, it appears that the University was having
nothing to do with the planning for RE Week this year—
save allowing Cadets an excuse from CQ. We feel that this
was negligence on the part of University officials. The
University should be as enthusiastic about RE Week as they
would be about SCONA, Space Fiesta or any other program
that might enrich the life of any group of students.
We can’t help but feel that the local church groups,
under the direction of the Campus Religious Workers Associ
ation, lacked either complete co-operation or co-ordination.
We would prefer to think that it was co-ordination missing.
We would encourage the University officialdom to return
to an active position in the planning of RE Week. They
should not be persuaded by any decision of our higher courts
regarding prayer to let RE Week become something of the
past.
The student chaplains and the YMCA should be allowed
to be the University’s representatives in the planning of
RE Week with local religious groups. The University
representatives should be backed by the University. The
University should lend support to this program as strongly
as they would any other. This would include scheduling and
reserving space on the University calendar and in University
facilities.
We cannot be happy with just one local church conducting
A&M University’s Religious Emphasis Week—even though
we commend them for their service to students.
The University should have a sizable contribution for
the week or not even schedule RE Week on the calendar.
We would prefer a strong, inspirational A&M University
Religious Emphasis Week.

The Defense Department’s de
cision to turn the Guantanamo
Naval Base into a strictly mili
tary garrison with no wives,
children or other dependents, is
a move that will greatly re
duce water consumption, but will
in turn create new problems con
cerning moral.
In an attempt to alleviate this
situation, Asst. Secretary of
Defense Arthur Sylvester an
nounced that the tour of duty
at Guantanamo will be reduced
to one year instead of two.
Many veterans of the Navy
and Marine Corps can probably
recall with bitter memories their
two years of duty at “Gitmo.”
True the Navy did their best to
provide the single men with en
tertainment and recreational act
ivities, but many can recall
that one can shoot skeet, play
acey-ducy, ride horses, watch
movies and make model airplanes
for only so long.
Many were the luckless sailors
and marines who passed two con
secutive seasons of hot, sweaty
and sleepless nights with noth
ing to look forward in the mor
row but blazing sun and the de
pressing sight of the dry and
parched hills surrounding the
base.
There are of course
tours of duty, but certainly “Git
mo” has earned its reputation of
being one of the least desirable
postings in the Navy.
