CADET SLOUCH
“Can you beat this—some of th’ same stuff we’ve been
talkin’ about in class is in th’ textbook!”
Reynolds 9 Rap
by Mike Reynolds
During the past few years the
relationship between Texas Wo
man’s University and Texas A&M
has fallen into such disrepair
that it surprises me that more
people do not bemoan this fact
a little.
Gone are the weekend migra
tions from Denton to College Sta
tion and vice versa. The only
remains of this once great re
lationship is the half-hearted at
tempt by the Aggies and Tessies
to get together for one dance
and yell practice before the yearly
corps trip to Dallas or Fort
Worth.
This columnist has heard many
complaints from both sides that
the relationship should be dis
continued.
The relationship has already
been discontinued. All we need
do is stop pretending. Modern
transportation has allowed the
Tessies to secure male compan
ionship from any number of other
schools and anyone doubting that
the Aggies have also, need only
to count the cars headed in four
different directions on Friday af
ternoon.
The only thing left that needs
to be done is to change the me
thod for selection of the Aggie
Sweetheart. Many say the time
has come to allow entrants from
all the campuses in the South
west conference, or to just any
girl whose guy thinks she quali
fies.
This solution may seem harsh,
however so have the actions of
an increasing number of students
of TWU and A&M toward each
other.
I do not favor this proposal.
I believe that the same trans
portation that has drawn the Ag
gies apart from the Tessies can
be used to draw them together
again.
The first thing needed however
is tolerance. — —
The students of both schools
are in novel situation and h
should draw them together. Act
ivities on both campuses could be
coordinated to a greater degree.
Correspondance should be in
creased between the Class Presi
dents and other student leaders
of both schools.
The students of both schools i
can work toward an opening of j
their campuses towards students j
of the other If I need any more
arguments just take a look at the j
’64 Dedalion. We can’t go wrong.

Editor,
The Battalion:
During the past several days
I’ve seen, heard, and read some
things which lead me to believe
that we Aggies in the Corps
need to reevaluate the causes,
possible results of, and our posi
tion concerning the presence of
a few co-eds on campus.
As a senior in the Corps I’ve
seen this change coming, and I
was bitterly opposed to it until
I saw some other sides of the
question and then did some think
ing about it for awhile. Only
then did I realize that there are
a few people who know more
about A&M’s best interests than
I.
First, the causes: The girls are
here because A&M needs them
and because they need a college
education. Our Board of Direc
tors made the decision, so this
year we have single, female un
dergraduates. Does this mean
that the members of the Board

are vent on destroying good;
traditions and the Corps along
with them? No, that’s not the
case. Most of these nine men
are Aggies, real dyed-in-the-wool
Old Army Aggies, who know con
siderably more about A&M and
co-education than we do, yet who
recognize the fact that their feel
ing and emotions must yield to
reality if A&M is ever to grow
up to be an academic university.
These are men who have sought
and achieved success and high
recognition in their professions,
and as men. Among them are
five corporations executives, two
ranchers, a publisher, and a gen
eral contractor. They are not
selfish with the Aggie Spirit, as
some cadet “leaders” are, who
use it as a tool to support per
sonal, emotional prejudice.
Yes, A&M needs co-education;
for growth, an increased budget,
a fine liberal arts program, and
to attract male students (includ
ing football players.) A further
need for co-education becomes
obvious when the differences in
Corps strength (numbers) during
the past five years are evaluated.
During this period the Corps has
experienced a steady decrease in
numbers, and this trend will very
probably continue unless; (1)
The United States becomes in
volved in a major war, or (2)
compulsory service in the Armed
Forces is extended, or (3) A&M
opens its doors to all women who
want to come.
May I point out that co-educa
tion does not in any way lead to
or infer a non-compulsory corps
insofar as male students are con
cerned, though as long as the
Corps remains compulsory, it will
be subject to the inherent weak
nesses of any compulsory organ
ization. Those who expect co-eds
to be in the Corps, cut their hair,
and whip out like fish will be
welcome to 1964 if they care to
join the rest of us.
Men, a handful of co-eds is no
reason for us to lose our heads
and our reason, to lower ourselves
to rude discourtesy to sweet
young things, and to oppose
A&M’s greatest step forward in
half a century. I have only praise
for those five gals who went out
last Sunday and brought in a
man-sized log for the bonfire.
They have demonstrated their
initiative and desire to support
and really be a part of A&M.
These girls have been with us
for four weeks now, and they
don’t really seem to be fearsome,
tradition - wrecking creatures.
Thanks to them, some of our
buddies have feminine companion
ship a lot more than I did dur
ing my fish and sophomore years,
and they seem to love A&M and
all that it stands for, so let’s ac
cept' them, not as second class
citizens, but as an attractive, in
telligent, and welcome addition to
the campus.
