Page 2 THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH College Station, Texas Thursday, November 12, 1964 by Jim Earle Billie till Board TH6 FLAYER^ 'tus PiAtfi OP SAT4M" UALL Perhaps the best opportunity for outstanding student leaders to associate with “the finer things of life” will come Dec. 13-14. The A&M leadership training committee has prepared a “Cul ture Trip” to Houston for 25 students and four faculty mem bers. Actually two trips have been planned by the committee—a sub sidiary of the Memorial Student Center Council and Directorate. The second will probably be to Dallas. The proposed list of students eligible for the trip include: Chairman and vice-president of student leadership training program committee, president of MSC Council and Directorate, president of Senior Class, Corps Commander, president of Stu dent Body, president of Civilian Student Council, editor of The Battalion, president of the YMCA cabinet, chairman of SCONA X, a foreign student leader, Head Yell Leader, three outstanding students from the College of En gineering and the College of Arts and Sciences. Two outstanding students in the College of Agriculture, one from the College of Veterinary Medicine, two from the Graduate School, president of the “T” As sociation, vice president of the MSC Council and Directorate, will also be asked to go. This group will leave early Sunday morning and pack a good week’s activity into two full days. They will arrive at the Sham- rock-Hilton Hotel about mid morning and embark on their first tour shortly after noon. That afternoon they will visit the Port of Houston — which cele brated its 50th anniversary this week — and the yacht “Sam Houston.” Sunday night will be spent at the Alley Theatre where they will meet Miss Che Moody, execu tive assistant of the theatre, and Miss Nina Vance, theatre director. While there, they will learn many of the developments and aims and much of the back ground of the Alley Theatre. And, of course, they will attend a stage play afterwards. Monday’s schedule will find them visiting the Houston Plane tarium, the World Trade Center, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and the Hous.ton Symphony. Purpose of the trip, as outlined by the leadership committee, is: “To broaden the perspective out look of a selected cross-section slice of student leaders by af fording them an opportunity to visit cultural centers of Texas, to see the performing and visual arts, and to become personally acquainted with prominent men and women of Texas.” Professors have often dwelled on the lack of intellectual and cultural emphasis at A&M. Sure ly they will laud this program as a step in the right direction. “ . . . Every student should enrich his college days with cultural experiences in the arts such as this sterling pro duction of fantasy—or more specifically—there are some real babes in this one! Don’t miss it!” Job Calls FRIDAY Waterways Experment Station, Corps of Engineers — civil engi neering.

Sound Off Editor, The Battalion: Many members of the Sopho more Class have brought to my attention the general feeling of dislike for the new dining hall rules concerning freshmen. I agree wholeheartedly with the general feeling of animosity. These new rules are seemingly being inforced by a minority. I know everyone that I have talk ed to opposes them. Since when does a minority rule the major ity ? Members of the Corps are members of a military organiza tion. It is usually an accepted fact that “plebes” or “fish” or whatever underclassmen are call ed, are to eat their meals under somewhat strained conditions. This is a part of the military training to be expected at a mili tary institution. I’m not ad vocating the starvation of fresh men, only an adherence to past policies concerning meals in the dining halls. Who can recall ever hearing about a freshman starving to death at Texas A&M. Barney Fudge Sophomore Class President ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: This letter is directed at Mr. Richard Wilson and all others who share the same opinion. Ob viously, your undergraduate work was done at some other institu tion besides Texas A&M. If you were never a part of the Twelfth Man and do not know anything about our traditions, then I would say it is none of your bus iness what we do at football games. We have a yell directed at the game officials, but it is only used when one of them has made an obvious blunder, and in my opinion we should have done it a few more times on the night of October 31. Also I should make some comment about the Arkansas fans who came down to watch their “wonderful foot ball team.” About all I saw in the Arkansas section were police men bringing drunks out of the stands. Also, after the game, one Arkansan completely trash ed out my parents and my girl, before he was quieted. Mr. Wilson, I have seven ans wers, seven alternatives which you may chose, any of which will alleviate your problem. They are as follows: 1. State Highway 6 North 2. State Highway 6 South 3. U. S. 190 East 4. State Highway 21 West 5. State Highway 30 East 6. Farm Road 60 South 7. Farm Road 1361 South The choice is yours. Jim Benson, ’63 Civilian Yell Leader ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: What’s ever happened to “The Spirit of Aggieland?” Ever since I’ve been able to understand, I’ve known about A&M and the “spirit” it has. I’ve been all over the world, and attended 18 dif ferent schools, and our schools have had their ups and downs, but never did I fail to back them, and never will I fail to back the Aggie’s. That team of ours has played some hard games since September 19, and we have made mistakes. We haven’t played the kind of football I would like to see the Aggies play, but at least they have tried, and you can ask for little more. Perhaps you are say ing that if they had just done this or done that they might have come out on top — well if you have the answer to our troubles, go see the coach, I am sure he THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student ivriters only.

FANN would be happy to hear them. It isn’t easy being a coach — there are too many “sidelines or coffee shop quarterbacks,” but when you don’t have the student body be hind you — you really have prob lems. Sure we want a winner, but we want something more — we want the same old spirit that we have always had in the past — the spirit of Aggies the world over, and if we let our team down now — we have let all past and future Aggies down, we have lost something far greater than a con ference championship. We need first of all to get behind that team and when we say something, let it be some thing we are proud of — we would fight any “sip” that said some of the things I have heard said about the Aggies the past few days, yet we say these same things ourselves and let our fri ends say them. What the “sips” say doesn’t count much, we just consider the source, but when an Ag cuts his own school then we have reached the bottom. How can we get respect from others when we don’t have it in our selves. Who has the spirit of Aggie land — your yell leader has it, and he may stand along the way things are going, but you can bet that when it is all over but the shouting he will still be there encouraging and yelling the team on — for Aggieland. If you are an Aggie —- get behind your yell leader and let’s go out and win some games. Jim Powell, ’66 Liquid Carbonic Division of General Dynamics Corp. — chem ical engineering, chemistry.
