A&M Political Clubs
On Campus Are A Must
It has come time to ask: Executive Committee, just
exactly what kind of game do you think you are playing
and just what kind of mice do you think you are playing
with ?
Some weeks ago—indeed some months ago—the two
active political clubs on campus were banned from the
campus. This was a rather annoying thing in itself. How
ever, this decision has been taken in stride by the clubs,
who have diligently been seeking to gain a spot on the
campus by way of the proper channels. One of the deep
holes of that channel, where many projects drown, is the
Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee has considered, postponed,
put-off and for all practical purposes denied the clubs a
hearing by simply not making a decision. The clubs are
growing tired of the excuses the Committee continues to
hand them. And this is probably one of the objectives of
the Committee—to tire the clubs and discourage them from
pressing for a final decision, at least this would appear to
be the case.
Gentlemen of the Executive Committee—this just isn’t
cricket. Not only is it not cricket, but the original decision,
as well as the stalling tactics, to not conform to the highest
ideals of a greater University—that which we are aspiring
to become.
The decision of the Executive Committee was based on
an article of the University Regulations which also blocks
recognized clubs and organizations from inviting candidates
as speakers on campus, even if their speeches are not sched
uled to be of a political nature. The Executive Committee
is somewhat hampered by the regulation, but the members
are also in a position to recognize that such a regulation is
not in the best interest of the University and does not speak
well of a progressive, growing institution. The Committee
should take what steps it can—and there are powers at the
Committee’s disposal—to have the unfortunate regulation
removed from the articles.
A&M should not be made a political island in a great
political state. In actuality, our campus is very much in
volved in politics. It is politics—and very shrewd politics—
that determines just how well the University will fare, as
compared to other state supported schools, when the boys
in Austin begin to split the funds to go for higher education
in this state. It’s just possible that if political clubs met
on campus and political candidates were not only allowed to
visit A&M, but brought to the campus, all the state legis
lature would realize that this is not a partisan political
organization, but a superior institute of higher education
and an asset to the state’s education bank.
It should not be important that other schools in our
state have political clubs on campus, including state sup
ported schools—but they do. A&M should not have to
determine its course by what other schools do, but should
be so much farther advanced that it is setting the pace—
and in many areas it is the leader. However, in some areas
A&M is lagging far behind. Political education outside the
classroom is one area. The Executive Committee should
be the first to step forward and support the Young Republi
cans and Young Democrats in their efforts—that is if that
group is serious about wanting to assist in the betterment
of A&M.
Come on. Executive Committee, get on the bandwagon
for a greater A&M, fight for the political education of all
students. Now is even too late because valuable time in
an interesting election year has passed by, but much might
be salvaged if haste is applied. Even if the spring semester
can’t be salvaged, there is the fall semester up-coming and
the November elections.
In answer to the Committee response—an inevitable one
—that the clubs can meet off campus and have been doing
so without hindrence, it must be conceded that just the fact
that the clubs do not have a home on campus is shameful
and denies too many students an otherwise golden oppor
tunity to broaden themselves.

Goldwater Gets Easy Win
In Illinois Primary
CHICAGO <A>) — Sen. Barry
Goldwater of Arizona won the
Illinois presidential preference
test Tuesday, but Sen. Margaret
Chase Smith of Maine received
a sizable share of the votes.
Only the names of Goldwater
and Mrs. Smith were printed on
the Republican ballot. Write-in
tallies came in for others from
areas scattered across the state,
including Cook County.
Returns from 5,113 of the
state’s 10,256 precincts, the bulk
of them from Cook County, gave
Goldwater 179,660; Sen. Smith
76,559; Henry Cabot Lodge 6,709;
Richard M. Nixon 3,470; Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller of New
York 190; Gov. William Scran
ton of Pennsylvania 115, and
Gov. George Romney of Michigan
29.
Goldwater’s share of the Re
publican preference vote hov
ered around 67 per cent and Mrs.
Smith’s around 29 per cent.
Goldwater had been tagged in
advance as the winner in Illi
nois. The big question was how
much strength he would demon
strate.
Editor,
The Battalion:
We of the R. V. Firing Squad
have noticed many students not
observing the honored tradition
of Silver Taps. We are speak
ing of the students who live in
Hart Hall. When returning from
the ceremony, we had not marched
passed the dorm before it was
lit up like a Christmas tree and
voices could be heard. We of
the R. V. Firing Squad as fellow
Aggies, ask the students of Hart
Hall to honor Silver Taps by
either leaving their lights off or
at least covering the windows
so very little light shows. Our
last respects to a departed Aggie.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Silver Taps is a funeral cere
mony and a time at which all
Aggies pay their final respects
to a departed fellow Aggie. How
do you feel to be able to say I
went to Silver Taps wearing
wrinkled shorts, no socks and my
shirt tails hanging out? I don’t
need to say anymore because you
know who you are, but why don’t
you try the same thing when
somebody in your family dies and
see just how great you feel then.

medical and pre-dental program
that is in existance at Texas
A&M.
To those who wish to pursue
the field of medicine as their
ultimate goal, the attitude of the
college they attend on their choice
of professions is very important.
I believe that Texas A&M’s atti

to become part of the medical
profession is very evident by (lit
