The school Spirit of A&M ap
pears to be going through a per
iod of comparative quiet, what
with no riots, marches on other
schools or stolen mascots to br
ing cries of anguish from cookie-
pushers across the state.
This writer cannot resist the
opportunity to poke fun at a few
other schools and at the same
time enlighten the local student
body to what is going on on other
campuses.
The biggest griping going on
recently has been between that
champion mud slinger, The Daily
Texan of Texas University and
a comparative new-comer to the
field, The Toreador of Texas
Tech.
It all started when the defend
ing Southwest Conference Long
horn Basketball Team was mark
ed by a D (as in Defeat) on
Zorro’s home court.
The Texan’s Assistant Sports
Editor, Frank Denton, couldn’t
find anything better to write a-
bout a losing team than that they
were the victims of poor sports
manship. Mr. Denton just could
n’t understand how such a loud,
boisterous, and lively student body
could be declared the confer
ence’s best group of sports and
then began to howl that some
body else (them, maybe) deserv
ed the SWC Sportsmanship tro
phy.
Tech, obviously proud of their
record with the trophy took ex
ception to Denton’s views and
said so editorially. The blow to
Tech’s ego was made all the
greater by the fact that Denton
is a citizen of Lubbock when he
is not in attendance at the “40
Acres.”
It then became a contest for
partisans of each school to see
who could write the nastiest let
ters to the other school’s paper
and heap the greatest amount of
shame on the opponent.
The Texas students said Tech
students throw paper cups and
ice (sound familiar?). Tech stu
dents said the Texas cheerlead
ers insulted Tech team members
over the loud speaker system
when they were in Austin. A
Texas student admitted that most
Texas students were poor sports
but at least they knew how to
be good hosts. (Remember the
party they threw for us last year
in Austin). A Tech student then
made the statement that the
sportsmanship trophy was given
only for football season, and
that the University could cram
their views “up their Memorial
Tower.”
The whole mess came to head
last Saturday night and if Tech
was not out in the middle of no
where more TT students might
have showed up for the game
and a battle royal (no pun in
tended) might have ensued.
As it stands, though, evidently
The Daily Texan managed to get
their team up for the game and
they defeated the Red Raiders,
something the Aggies can’t
thank them fir enough.
It sure is nice to see that we
are not the only ones who get
this sort of treatment.

Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
In answer to Mr. Deveny let
me first say that the most con
venient way to defend yourself
against accusation is to not ans
wer the accusations put forth,
but to completely avoid them
by the use of self-absurdities.
That, Mr. Deveny, is exactly
what you have tried to do. Of
course all conservatives are not
members of the John Birch Soc
iety, nor are all of them members
of the DAR, nor are all of them
members of the Klu Klus Klan
Thus your mistake in assuming
that I meant all conservatives is
our basic difference. For you
see, conservatives see things in
either terms of black or white.
(Please don’t rebut with the ar
gument that you see in techni
color, Mr.. Deveny,/because the
absurdity argument doesn’t work
all the time.) For them things
are either bad or good, useful
or useless, etc., there are shades
of grey, Mr. Deveny. Nothing
or no one person is all good or
all bad. There are good and bad
points about everything, liberals
and conservatives included.
Since you seem to be the self-
appointed champion of the con
servative cause, Mr. Deveny, per
haps you could for a change,
answer my objectives rather
than avoid them: 1. Explain why
most Southernrs that call them
selves conservatives are segrega
tionists and do most certainly
want state sovereignity unlimit
ed for this reason. 2. Deny the
fact that the John Birch Society
has a very strong influence on
the conservative movement and
other right wing hate groups,
estimated by Life magazine to be
nearly 1,050 in number. Even
if many conservatives are not
Birchers, they seldom oppose
their radical dictates. Such as
our last four Presidents being
communists. 3. Deny the fact,
that most conservatives follow
Goldwater’s views fanatically and
without question, and bitterly op
pose anyone who disagrees with
them. (By the way, I said Gold-
water was their god not God —
there is a difference.)
So in conclusion, Mr. Deveny,
I do appreciate your views, but,
if you could, would you please
face the issues and not indulge
in folly. If you need further proof
of why I was referring to when
I said, “. . . anyone who ques
tions his opinion is either a Soc
ialist or Communist.” Please look
at the article above “Sound Off”
in that issue. Since you quoted
a great American humorist in
you letter, allow me to quote a
modern contemporary, “the Na
tional Democratic Party . . . was
chptured by the Socialist ideo
logies in and about the labor
movement . . (Conscience of
a Conservative, page 25). Once
again, how about it, Mr. De
veny.

WASHINGTON 0T) — Most
taxpayers were assured more
take home pay starting early
next month when Senate and
House conferences wrapped up
Wednesday a compromise agree
ment on the biggest tax-cut bill
in the nation’s history.
The reduction, expected to
climb to $11.5 billion a year, will
ease the Treasury’s bite on bus
inesses as well as individuals.
However, there will be some
tightening of present regulations
which will mean higher taxes in
some areas.
Ironing out of differences
tween Senate and House vets
of the bill put the long-aw;
measure over its last big i
die. It took the conferees;
three days of voting to \
through their handful of m
differences.
