THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, April 23, 1964 CADET SLOUCH Reynolds 9 Rap by Mike Reynolds I threatened to do this last week and since I can’t think of anything to write a column on to night, I will write a column on how to think of things to write about in a column. Might even get some ideas for weeks to come. We all asked the experts at the Southwestern Journalism Con ference how they got their ideas. Everyone agreed that they us ually start when they’re asked to write a regular news story. Take a fire for instance. By the time the reporter gets there, the insurance man is just walk ing up to deliver the money, and a fireman sticks a broom into his hands and tells him to help clean up. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t write anything that comes out serious. In a serious vain, for only a moment though, I would like to urge everyone, Corps and Civil ian both, if you haven’t already, go vote. I got burned in my race for Civilian Yell Leader because they said I was too young (guess they think I couldn’t hold my Spirit at Midnight Yell Practice), but there is one one way you, the voter, can get burned. That’s by not having a voice in campus politics. The first thing I ask someone griping about the Student Senate is, “Did you vote?” Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: I am running for the position of Civilian Yell Leader for the school year ’64-65. I am fully aware of the importance of this position but I am not running for it because of the prestige it would bring to me. I feel that I am capable of doing the best job possible and would support all athletic events and teams of Texas A&M. I may not be as gung-ho as my opponent but I feel that I have just as much spirit as any one on this campus. I would, if elected, do my best to make the Civilian body and the whole school to be known throughout the conference and state as the most spirited school. I don’t particularly care for whom you vote, but while you are there voting I sure would ap preciate your thinking of me and even voting for me if you think I am qualified. But at least vote for the person you feel best qualified. Harvey Bashor ’65 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: By this time the majority of the Civilian students that are going to vote have already voted, and the election will be over in a few hours. I would like to appeal to those of the student body who have not cast their vote. The coming year will be important to members of the A&M student body for many rea sons. We have not been beaten by Texas University this year and predictions show that this will continue through football season. Jim Butler, Battalion Sports Editor, has predicted a winning season, and that means more recognition for A&M and its students. The Civilians at A&M deserve a representative Yell Leader that will match this trend toward sporting excellence. A man with a cool head and will ing spirit is needed. A true Ag gie in all senses of the word is to be desired. I believe this des cription fits one candidate — Darrel Smith. He is the man for the job. There is no reason why Civil ians should not have representa tion on the campus either, and all it will take is a few votes. It will be a short walk from Sbisa Dining Hall to the MSC and wall worth the trip. Take the lime to vote for Civilian representa tion and Civilian Yell Leader — Darrell Smith. Mike Reynolds ’66 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: Today is election day — have you voted ? This election seems quite insignificant when compar ed to the nation-wide elections held every four years. Yet, there is a close similarity. Tomorrow your vote will influence the des tiny of our school. The right to vote for the per son of your choice to represent you is an incomparable inherit ance — it is one of the reasons this country was founded. I re peat, have you voted ?

E £ si a § NEW YORK (TP) — The bil- lion-dollar New York World’s Fair got off to a dismal start Wednesday, beset by a cold, re lentless rain and besieged by hun dreds of surging, shouting, per sistent racial demonstrators. There were 200 arrests as police battled civil right crusad ers. The fair opened on schedule at 9 a.m. with a brief, sharp in flux of thousands of dignitaries and visitors. But by late after noon, trains bound for the fair were nearly empty. At nightfall a galaxy of exhi bition lights flashed on, their grandeur veiled in fog and low clouds, and attendance mounted slowly to a total of 78,682—far below the anticipated opening day crowd of 250,000 to 500,000. The one bright spot in a mis erable spring day was President Johnson’s speech inaugurating the fair — and even this was marred by chanted demands for broader civil rights. In his address, Johnson proph esied peace within this genera tion, and also—as though to an swer the demonstrators who were kept their distance by po lice — foresaw an America “in FRIDAY “THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN” SATURDAY “MYSTERIOUS ISLAND” Saturday Nile Preview Also Sunday “TWO RODE TOGETHER” PALACE Brqan Z'SS?** NOW SHOWING WALT DISNEY ' presents aTIGER walks wmwm i 9Wilt DiiflU Production* TECHNICOLOR® Plus Added Attraction “BOY SCOUT JAMBOREE” QUEEN Caudelle Inglish In ‘HELL ON FRISCO BAY” NOW SHOWING ‘THE CARDINAL’ (In Color) CIRCLE TONIGHT 1st Show 7:10 p.m. Paul Newman In “THE PRIZE” 2nd SHOW 9:45 Johnny Rogers In “LITTLE SHEPPARD OF KINGDOM COME” which no man is handicapped by the color of his skin.” Plans for a massive traffic stall-in on roads around the fair collapsed in the mist and gloom that marked the opening. Traf fic around the fair was only 25 per cent of normal, with the very threat of the tieup perhaps contributing to the poor attend ance. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service We Service All Foreign Cars" 422 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517: GORDON MdENDON Your candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.
