BATTALION EDITORIALS
Batt Defends
Against Attack
Rarely is it necessary for a student newspaper to openly
defend itself and the honor of its editors against the un
warranted attacks of fellow students. But because those
assailing these pages are denoted as campus leaders The
Battalion takes exceptional distaste to their assertions.
Last night this publication was slandered at
yell practice. If the aggressors had a legitimate
problem or question about The Battalion’s editorial
policy its editors should have been the first to be
informed—but not so. Instead the issue was aired
at yell practice and the Corps of Cadets spontane
ously tried and condemned all associated with this
paper for “co-edism.”
An explanation—a rebuttal—seems necessary to dispel
the confusion and false accusations. Tuesday of this week
a feature article on co-eds appeared in the pages of The
Battalion. Written in cooperation with the Department of
Journalism’s feature writing class the story concerned a
bonfire log secured by several A&M female students. Partly
out of uniqueness, partly out of courtesy to the feature
writing student the article was run.
To those who say this favors co-eds, we point out the
editorial stands of The Battalion are determined by the
editor and appear as editorials, not feature stories. Nor do
the columns appearing in these pages necessarily represent
the views of the entire staff. These comments are the
personal observations of their authors.
The Battalion was also accused of not repre
senting the views of the Corps. This is entirely
correct. Nor do we necessarily represent the views
of the civilian students, the foreign students, etc.,
etc., etc. For The Battalion represents Texas A&M
University and not any specified faction within it.
Only by treating each segment of the student body
as equals—and this includes co-eds—can a fair and
accurate newspaper be published.
Also discussed at the kangaroo court of yell practice
was the composition of The Battalion staff. True, only one
member of the Corps of Cadets is a member of our perma
nent staff. No qualified member of the A&M student body
has ever been excluded from work on student publications
regardless of race, color, creed or previous condition of
servitude. But unfortunately, because of the time involved,
the decision between a position on The Battalion and serving
in the Corps must be made early in one’s college career.
If this defense of our policy sounds as belliger
ent as the yell practice attacks, it is because we are
more sensitive to the ramblings of the uninformed
on our own campus. A distinction should be made
by the Corps between Aggie Spirit and misguided
emotions of persecution.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Miss S. you appall me
Though personal it’s not.
“You’re as Aggie as'Y am.”
My dear, that is rot!
Awhile back I came here
And they gave me a name.
My first name was fish,
Can you say the same ?
I cut all my hair off
And proud I was, too.
I was a Texas Aggie Fish —
No one will say that of you.
And I went to bonfire,
I chewed and I spat;
My dear young Maggie
You cannot say that.
You say you’re an Aggie;
I say that’s not so.
When Ag’s believe that.
That’s the day I will gOi : . - • "
You say you love Aggies —
That’s not hard to see;
But one last word
Don’t waste it on me!

Campaign Doesn’t Alter
Foreign Policies—Rusk
WASHINGTON UP) — Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk protest
ed Thursday against any asser
tion that administration decisions
on Viet Nam could be influenced
by election campaign considera
tions.
Also in reply to Republican
critics, Rusk said the previous
GOP administration rather than
the Democrats should be blamed
for Cuba’s shift to communism.
Rusk told a news conference
that South ' Viet Nam presents
major issues of war and peace
and this is “not a matter which
any president of the United
States can deal with on electoral
terms.”
Stressing that the United
State remains deeply committed
to the security of Southeast Asia,
Rusk said that this commitment
“has nothing to do with our
electoral process here.”
“We are not concealing any
thing, or postponing, or making
time, or refusing to make the
decisions that are required,” he
said.
Former Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon said in Chicago
Wednesday that South Viet Nam
might be lost within a year, and
