Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, November 13, 1964 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Supreme Court Requested SMU Complains- Again and Again... Homecoming, 1964—a long, hard weekend noteworthy for queen-crowning, property-snatching, Peruna-Shearing, and last—and unfortunately, least—an imitation football game with Texas Animal & Multilator University. What did the SMU alums come home to thisi year? A series of Aggie “pranks” which ranged from the pilfering of the red stallion atop Ownby Stadium to the mass engulfing of a solitary Mustang bandsman. Alumni were also treated to the sight of a listless, unhappy Peruna and an outstanding dis play of conduct and nonexistant sportsmanship at the Saturday football game. Faced by so many obnoxious incidents of bad taste and farmer faux pas, no one really knows which hands to slap first. The theft of a newly-purchased, newly-erected statue at the practice field and attempted destruction of Mustang homecoming decorations have been virtually ignored because of weightier incidents. Aggies seem eternally preoccupied with the kidnapping and/or mutilation of other SWC mas cots. There was last year’s dehorning of TCU’s, the kidnapping and death of Baylor’s bear, and the multitude of hamburgers unwilling provided by a former Bevo. To their collection of horrors, these great white hunters have added the tail of a beloved Shetland pony. Already scheduled for retirement after this season, the 14-year-old Peruna drooped through his last Homecoming game sans forelock and tail. Quite a comedown for the spirited little mascot whose headlong charges around the field have highlighted so many Mustang games. Quite an ego-booster for the unknown number of Aggies who were big and brave enough to subdue an elderly animal. Perhaps the A&M rooters’ steady gametime roar, espe cially noticeable when the Ponies tried to call signals, was nothing more than a show of approval for their schoolmates’ pranks. Perhaps it was the worst mass conduct displayed at the Cotton Bowl in years. We might mention the half time incidents, which so effectively disruped the enjoyment of the queen coronation and Homecoming program. However, anyone attending the game retains a vivid memory of our throng of one, lone bandsman viciously attacking a defenseless swarm of Aggie pacifists. Aggie actions that would not be tolerated from any other university are usually greeted with an “Oh well, Aggies never grow up,” attitude. That excuse is no excuse. In a few years the A&M corps mem bers will be the junior officers of the United States Army, pledged to protect the welfare of each of us. Makes you hope that Annapolis and the Air Force Academy are purducing some good men, doesn’t it? The SMU Campus To Abolish Texas Anti-Red Laws WASHINGTON (A>) — The Supreme Court was urged Thurs day to strike down two Texas laws under which about 2,000 as serted pro-Communist books and pamphlets were seized from the home of John W. Stanford, Jr., in San Antonio. Maury Maverick Jr., San An tonio attorney arguing on behalf of Stanford, told the high tribu nal: Maverick and John J. McAvoy, ACLU cooperating attorney, were joined by Texas counsel in urg ing the Supreme Court to decide on constitutionality of the laws. James E. Barlow, criminal dis trict attorney of San Antonio, and Hawthorne Phillips, first assis tant attorney general of Texas, said, however, they believed the acts were valid, and that ford should be prosecuted them. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign ( 1422 Texas Ave. TA 24 !■■■■■■■■ «p ■■ IMMfH “This is a splendid opportuni ty to stop mischief before it gets started, by declaring these laws unconstitutional.” The laws, known as the Texas Communist Control Act and the Communist Suppression Act, were aserted by the American Civil Liberties Union to be void be cause superseded by federal laws against seditious activities.

Sue politics under the rug for awhile. But before we do, we can’t bypass a brief comment on this presidential campaign. For all its slogans, the 1964 campaign was a facade, full of false prophets and decadent promises. Frankly, it was a campaign which insulted our intelli gence. Both parties avoided a confrontation on the issues, preferring instead to ignore the other candidate or employ the most obnoxious smear tactics. The wealth of trashy literature, below-the-belt adver tising and insidious television commercials which appeared was especially irritating. We are certainly thankful to have been rescued from perhaps the dullest political dirge inflicted on the American voter in recent years.
