THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, September 18, 1964 BATTALION EDITORIALS Exception To The Rule: Coach Foldherg A&M has never been known for athletic directors with long- tenures of office. The average term is about five years— years which can age a losing coach three times that many. Pressures from the student body, the administration and an alumni which can’t remember when A&M lost football games can make the luxurious offices in G. Rollie While Coli seum more like a pressure cooker or a padded cell. And so it has become somewhat of a phenomena when a coach with 3-7 and 2-7-1 record can command so much respect and admiration from all associated with him, includ ing impatient former students. But Hank Foldberg is not just another football coach. Whether on the turf supervising a Cadet team or speaking before a mother’s club social, he represents all that A&M stands for and reveres. President Rudder and the A&M Athletic Council recog nized this outstanding service and cited the coach recently for improving the university’s athletic teams and facilities. This was not only an outside display of confidence to a sports world long familiar with the fate of losing Aggie coaches, it was a show of unity, support and a congratulations for a job well done. The president expressed hope of having Foldberg and his present coaching staff continue as an integral phase of the A&.M family for years to come. To chronicle Coach Foldberg’s accomplishments as he enters his third year at A&M would be only to repeat what- many have said before. His achievements and those of his staff are printed in the record books of two Southwest Con ference Championships. But we can offer our thanks. Viet Nam Students Grumble—Ho,Hum By JOHN T. WHEELER SAIGON, South Viet Nam (^») — The new National Council in tended to steer South Viet Nam toward civilian rule is being born in controversy. Students expressed dissatisfac tion Thursday at a list of 16 civilian leaders reported nominat ed for membership by Maj. Gen. Duong Van Minh, the titular chief of state. Spokesman for the students, who headed the August riots that pushed Premier Nguyen Khanh’s military government to caretaker status, demanded a greater representation of Viet namese youth. Named by Khanh to handle creation of the council, Minh an nounced he has chosen three men who were active plotters against President Ngo Dinh Diem and will disclose the rest next week. Minh destroyed the Diem govern ment in a military coup last November. The confirmed nominees — Tran Dihh Ham, Nguyen Chu and Phan Khac Suu — con ferred with Minh at Gia Long Palace. The chief of state said his standard in picking the council- men is “their integrity, lack of connections with the Diem re gime, revolutionary pasts and anti-Communist and antineutra list attitudes.” Others reported chosen in cluded laymen of the Buddhist, Roman Catholic and Protestant, faiths and the Hoa Hoa and Cao Dai sects. Another was Nguyen Van Luc, the father of Lt. Nguy en Van Cu, who bombed Diam’s palace in an abortive coup in 1962. The council is expected to hold its first meeting about Nov. 5. It is to draw up a new consti tution and create a national con stitutional convention which eventually will have legislative powers. A national election is slated by the end of 1965. Khanh will run the country in the meantime provided he is not ousted by some new civil or mili tary crisis. Read Classifieds Daily AGGIE SPECIAL Served 4 to 10 p. m.

Those were some of the elec tion campaign tactics employed in 1962 and 1963, the Fair Cam paign Practices Committee re ported Thursday. The group, which seeks clean campaigns by exposing unfair tatics of past elections, said an in-depth study of 1962 turned up 4 violations of its code of fair campaign practices in 22 states. This compared with 38 viola- toins in 25 states — not counting the presidential election — in 1960, and 64 violations in 21 states in 1958. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service <:“We Service All Foreign Cars”! ■ 1422 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517^ We aim to please you Nothing less than your best appearance satisfies our barbers.

Shrimp Orders to Go TA 2-3464 Texas Ave. - Next to Townshire Among Corps Of Cadets By TOM HARGROVE Special Writer Approximately 15 months ago the A&M Board of Directors an nounced its decision to admit fe males to Texas A&M on a limited basis only, shattering an 87- year old tradition. Gloomy forecasts for the future of the military school were made by Aggie students and Exes the world over. The group which it seemed the decision would affect the most was the 4000-man Corps of Cadets. Now the first year of the co educational A&M is completed. Things appear to be fairly nor mal, at least to the general pub lic. But what about the main group who fought the decision — the Cadet Corps? How did they feel at the end of a year of co-education ? A variety of feelings concern ing co-education prevailed with in the Corps. Few indeed are the cadets with no opinion what ever concerning the matter. The feelings of approximately 50 cadets interviewed in May, both Army and Air R.O.T.C. cadets and distributed proportionately among the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes, varied from that of bitter resentment toward the “Maggies” to eager anticipation of the future “. . . when A&M will be completely co-ed.” Of 52 cadets interviewed, 24 were against co-education in any form at A&M. Twelve stated that they were in favor of co education to be continued on a limited basis only, and 16 express ed the opinion they would like to see A&M change to a com pletely co-educational school. Typical, perhaps, of the opin ions expressed by cadets oppos ed to co-education were those of David F. Lyons, Co. D-l senior from Graham. “Co-education is just one step in the gradual de struction of A&M’s traditions. The incoming fish this year (19- 63-64) were not as affected by it (the Board’s decision) as were those who entered last year and who were here when the fight was on. I’m definitely against co-education in any form at A&M.” Brock Hopkins, Co. F-3 junior Bulletin Board FRIDAY The Freshman Agricultural Society will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Lecture Room of the Animal Industries Building. Officers will be elected.

SATURDAY The Indian Student’s Associa tion has arranged one show of an Indian movie “In Front of Your House” to be shown at 7:30 p.m. in Room 113 of the Biological Sciences Building.

TUESDAY The American Society of Agri cultural Engineers will hold an informal hamburger fry at 5:30 p.m. at the rear entrance of the Agricultural Engineering Build ing. A program is planned.

Plans for the coming school year will be discussed. from Winnsboro said, “I was against it them — I’m against it now — and I guess I always will be. I feel that a great deal of the tradition of A&M was lost by the admission of co-eds.” “I don’t think they should be given a different ring — they should be given a different school*” said Frederick W. Sasse, White Band junior from San An tonio. William C. Book, Sqd. 9 fresh man from Lufkin said, “I think every state should have an all male military school. That is the purpose A&M has always served and I think it should have remained that way.” Some cadets seemed just as much in favor of total co-educa tion as others are against it. Lee S. Culver, Co. B-l sophomore from Lampasas said “Co-educa tion is the best thing to happen to A&M yet. ? The school has been at a dead standstill for years. I feel that total co-edu cation would help A&M grow and I am for it. In the future I feel A&M will be another co educational, civilian school.” James H. Fisher, Sqd. 4 fresh man from San Antonio said, “Limited or complete co-educg- tion should depend on the demand of the public. If there is a suf ficient number of female appli cants to warrant it, I believe A&M should go completely co ed.” William L. Sweeney, Co. G-l freshman from Houston said, “I’m for co-education. Men just aren’t going to come here without girls. It will hurt the Corps some, but not that much.” Raymond O. George, Sqd. 7 junior from Harlingen, was one of the 12 cadets interviewed who was in favor of the continuance of “limited co-educatino.” “I was against it at first but it hasn’t seemed to disrupt anything, said George.
