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.

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 ?

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

were kept their distance by po
lice — foresaw an America “in

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.

• FOREIGN AID—Foreign aid should
be withheld from all communist-
dominated countries. Foreign aid
should be maintained in those
countries in which we have mili
tary bases. In other countries
where any aid might be prudent,
it should be mainly in the form of
surplus agricultural products.
• NATIONAL DEBT—Government ex
penditures should be made only
from current income in peacetime.
An orderly program for retirement
of the public debt should be
initiated.
• FOREIGN AFFAIRS —The Monroe
Doctrine should be firmly restated
and upheld.
