THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, September 17, 1964
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
A night-time staff gathering
daytime news can sometimes be
quite perplexing, especially when
uncooperative sources are conse
quential to a story.
When favorable publicity is de
sirous to their cause, they usually
come charging down to the Batt
Cave like they have a tiger in
their tank.
But such is not always the
case. Conversation by a Batt
staff with a high official in the
athletic business office Wednes
day night went something like
this:
“Sir, do you have any idea
how many tickets were sold on
campus for the LSU game?”
“Hell, I wouldn’t have any
idea without looking at my
books.”
“Will they be on sale at the
game?”
“No, they’ve sent me inform
ation saying it was a sellout.”
“Will the tickets you had left
over be put on sale?”
“Hell, we didn’t have but six
of the damn things left.”
“How many did LSU send to
be sold here?”
“I wouldn’t have any idea
without looking at my books.
Hell, you call me at home at
night where I haven’t got my
books in front of me.”
“Well I don’t work in the
daytime.”
“Hell, I don’t work at night.”

What upset our reporter was
the man’s sharpness and unwill
ingness to be even the least bit
cooperative — not his ignorance.

Tonight the Student Senate
holds its first meeting of the
year. It should be interesting,
since for the first time the civil
ians will have a truly representa
tive voice in the student govern
ment.
The Senate can be a powerful
instrument in molding student
policy, or it can fall flat on its
face. But one thing is certain:
it will have to make decisions.
This year the civilian students
have a chance “to get back at
the Corps” for some of the de
cisions they might have made
against the civilians’ will. But
if the Senate is to function pro
perly, there must not be any
rivalry, there must not be any
grudges.
Senate President Frank Muller
and his committee chairman are
capable of leading the Senate
through a successful year. They
have the leadership potential that
is required of good officers. But
they cannot make all the deci
sions. While they can exert a
strong influence, it is up to the
individual members to make the
final choices on matters brought
up before the student government.
The senators represent you.
Tell your representative what
your beliefs are on matters they
discuss. Only through your co
operation can they truly repre
sent the group who elected them.
Student senators, remember
that you are representing a parti
cular group of students. Before
you vote on a matter of particu
lar importance, be sure that your
vote indicates the concensus of
the organization you represent.
The key to a successful year
for the Student Senate lies in
cooperation — cooperation be
tween Corps and civilian, as well
as between the representing and
the represented.

Editor,
The Battalion:
In regard to your editorial of
Tuesday, September 15, concern
ing the ‘speaking’ on campus.
Don’t you think it is a little early
to judge the Class of '66, or any
other class for that matter, after
only one day of school (your
article appeared on the second
day of classes) ?
Obviously, you must be refer
ring to your own personal ex
periences of last year. If you
find the Class of ’66 lacking in
its speaking then you have no
one to blame except the Class of
’65 (as you must know, it is
largely the responsibility of the
preceding class to see that its
successors are thoroughly versed

because, he said, the two sides
still were far apart on issues of
wage inequities, relief time and
production standards for Ford’s
125,000 production workers.
With good faith by both par
ties at the bargaining table, Reu-
ther said. “there is still time
to reach a settlement.”
The UAW chief added that he
was prepared to bargain round
the clock if necessary to reach
agreement.
A strike would halt Ford’s pro
duction of new 1965 model cars.
WASHINGTON CP) —- A form
er Texas educator, clergyman and
author, now president of the
University of the Americas in
Mexico City, has plans to make
that institution a vital link in
Western Hemisphere relations.
He is Dr. D. Ray Lindley,
president of Texas Christian Uni
versity from 1958 to 1962, and
he has been here lining up sup
port.
One of his most enthusiastic
backers in the capital is Rep.
Bob Casey, D., of Houston.
Others include Chairman J. Wil
liam Fulbright D.-Ark., of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and Assistant Secretary
of State Tom Mann, the Texan
who also serves as the U. S. Co
ordinator of the Alliance for
Progress.
Lindley and Casey first became
acquainted last May when Dr.
Lindley spoke at an inter-faith
meeting at the First Christian j
Church in Houston.
“He’s an impressive man,”
commented Casey, “and he has
a real mission.
“This school he heads now
was started in 1940 and called
Mexico City College. It was
started by Amercians for Amer
icans living there, and soon be
came known as the ‘gringo col
lege’.
“It was in debt when he took
over. He changed the name and
expanded its board and brought
in Mexican citizens. He is under-

in the treasured traditions and
customs of Texas A&M Univer
sity — still the most friendly
campus in the world!)
We believe that the Class of
’66 — civilians included — is
more than holding up their end
of one of our most prized tradi
tions. From our own personal
experience and the experiences
of many of our fellow classmates,
we find that an overwhelming
percentage of students and visit
ors alike will speak if they are
spoken to. And if you believe)
that speaking is a hallowed tra
dition, what difference does it
make who speaks first — civilian
or corps ?
If one isolated case is the basis
for your opinion, then maybe
you would find the friendly (?)
surroundings of 40 acres more
suited to your liking.
