Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, February 27, 1964 Reynolds 9 Rap by Mike Reynolds Ever since I came to A&M I have noticed that I have a prob lem. Actually I don’t notice it but my little ole Mother and Dad in Houston do and they let me know about it. I am gross. Yes, my parents, my girls, my friends and even my enemies tell me that I am gross and I am not alone. I am sure that every one on this campus has been told that at one time or another that Aggies are a crude bunch; that we lack that certain something that sets a refined person apart from the crowd. I used to hang my head in shame but now I am beginning to realize that I am not the only one. Last week, while browsing through The Skiff, newspaper of Texas Christian University, I spotted an article concerning Georgia Tech. Seems like they have the same problem there as we are ‘sup posed’ to have. To cut out the foul language at sporting events and in the din ing hall, the student government is considering sponsoring a ‘Gross Hour.’ Those students wishing to rid themselves of crude habits would be assigned a room in the phy sical education building for an hour of intense concentration each night. What would they concentrate on? Being gross, of course. It is believed that by practicing being gross, the students will make themselves sick of their own habits and ways. The first fifteen minutes of the hour will be spent yelling as sorted four letter words. For the next thirty minutes, bottle-throw ing, old furniture smashing and other violent acts would be the main event. In the concluding quarter hour, a practice session will be held in which participants will try to read gross meanings into every day situations. According to the article, the Student Health Service could help with the program by examining all students and designating those who had the most pent-up hostilities. These would be made the supervisors of the program. The fact that someone is earn estly seeking to help us greatly moves me. Someone has finally realized that grossness is a dis ease and this is the first step to ward a cure. Grossness is not something to condemn a man for and now, with the proper financial help combined with the latest scienti fic advancements, this problem that confronts all of us can be licked. Anyone want to help a Mo ther’s March on Grossness. Senate Keeps Rights Bill On Calendar r=r 33= “Have you seen my bed sheet?’ WASHINGTON (A>) _ The Senate voted 54 to 37 Wednes day to keep the House-passed omnibus civil rights bill on the Senate calendar and ready for further action. The vote was a victory for the strategy of the Democratic lead ership in dealing with the hotly controversial legislation. The roll call came on a motion of Majority Leader Mike Mans field, D-Mont., to table and thus kill an appeal of Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., from a presid ing officer’s ruling that the mea sure must remain on the calendar. Russell, the leader of the Southern forces heavily opposed to the bill, had made the point of order that the measure must go to committee. But San. Lee Metcalf, D-Mont., presiding at the time, rejected the point of order. Russell then was able to win a recorded test on the matter by making his appeal. Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: On February 22, 1964, Purdue University held its annual Scab bard and Blade Invitational Drill Meet. Many teams, predomin ately from the Midwest, enter this competition. As a member of the Purdue student body who witnessed the competition, I would like to commend the per formance and conduct of the Texas A&M Freshman Drill Team who entered this year’s competition. It was a thrill to see such fine precision in march ing and drill. I think all who saw the Drill Meet were impress ed by the A&M team. They are excellent representatives of your school, and I hope that they will continue their fine work. Best wishes to them in the future. Janet Cormier, Business Manager Office of Student Govern ment Services Purdue University ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: In answer to you know who. I hate to repeat myself but since you have repeated your previous error I suppose it is necessary. You say that you are not being inclusive of conservatives, and then in the very next sentence you make a sweeping generality to the effect that conservatives see things in terms of. either black or white.

This is a very basic flaw in your arguments, and if you con tinue to commit this error I must continue to point it out. You are taking your evidence from the actions of a vocal few and using it to incite an entire move ment which is the fallacy of extension. I don’t see that it is an absurdity to defend one’s self from false accusations. If my answers were absurd it was because your questions were ab surd.

Mr. Bland, most southerners who call them selves conservatives are segre gationists because most south erners are segregationists. I be lieve that takes care of number one. The John Birch Society has no more effect on me or the conservatives I know than the A.D.A. has on you. We don’t oppose their radical dictates be cause we don’t pay any attention to .them, .And. I believe, that if. a poll were taken you would find I will not deny that most con servatives follow Senator Gold- water, but they don’t follow him any more fanatically than the Liberals followed Kennedy. I be lieve that if you check the rec ord you will find that there were some pretty bitter fights made by liberals against those who op posed Kennedy. (By the way, I said that Goldwater was not my God, not that he was not God — there is a difference there, too.) Since you appreciate my views on government I will tell you that they are in another quota tion. “A man may not always eat and drink what is good for him; but it is better for him and less ignominous to die of the gout freely than to have a censor officially appointed over his diet, who after all could not render him immortal.” (George Santayana) Next question, please.
