CADET SLOUCH

One doesn’t know whether to
be offended at the cookie-pushers
from Texas Tech, or to feel hon
ored that they should copy one
of A&M’s greatest traditions, top
to bottom.
The Nov. 21 copy of the Daily
Toreador quotes Ken Snider,
president of the Saddle Tramps,
Tech spirit organization, as he
proposes “. . . an effort to get
all the Raider fans to demonstrate
their spirit throughout the en
tire game.’ They call it the
Twelfth Raider.

thought.
While we’re on the subject of
spirit, a teasip I know told me
the following after the Turkey
Day game.
“Spirit? Who needs it? We
don’t have spirit and we went
9-1 this year. I just can’t see
how you can stand up there in the
stands game after game and
make fools out of yourselves, act
ing as if you thought you ever
had a chance in the first place.
The Aggies can’t beat Texas at
anything.”

The following quote appeared
in the Hilltop News, student
newspaper at Cooke County Jun
ior College, Gainesville, Tex.
A&M University will start con
struction on a $1 million space
research center this spring. It
is comforting to know that by
the time the Russians have six
or eight men orbiting the earth,
we may have Reveille up there
mixing it up with them.”

A headline in the Daily Torea
dor for two weeks ago reads,
“Strippers Show Up Regularly In
Men’s Dorm Parking Lots.”
Seems that the stripper is tak
ing wheels off of cars instead of
clothes off of bodies. Although
a patrolman surprised one of the
vandals with a wheel half-way off
a car, he escaped and six patrol
men and a dog could not locate
him in a car-to-car search of the
parking lot.
They really have it rough out
there in Lubbock. The admini
stration will not let students ride
their sidewalk surfboards in the
halls of the dorms.
It is rumored that Hall Hockey
is on its way out here at A&M
to make way for the surfers.
‘Haven’t you guys had enough?”

Editor,
The Battalion:
The 12th man has several re
sponsibilities among which are to
exhibit part of what is the Spirit
of Aggieland and another to sup
port the Aggie team be it basket
ball, baseball, football or what
have you.
Being some 4,000 miles away
from the campus it is not easy to
keep informed of what is hap
pening. However, I know we were
outscored in our first seven
games this season in football and
were able to chalk one up in the
other column by trouncing SMU
23-0. From past experiences I
know this football season is more
than disappointing to most Ag
gies.
The point is that the Nov. 15,
1964 edition of The Stars and
Stripes, a newspaper for U. S.
Armed Forces personnel, con
tained a small article entitled
“A&M Students Told To Get The
Yell Out.” It stated that Coach
Foldberg and Dean Hannigan ask
ed student cooperation in hold
ing down the yelling particularly
when the ball is about to be put
in play by the opposing team. It
further mentioned the stealing of
such things as band hats, bridles,
and blankets from SMU by A&M
students.
These actions do not remind
me of the A&M I left three years
ago. From 1957-1961 we too
were asked to quiet down in some
football games, but it was always
by a yell leader, an official on the
__ Tq dCl lIS ~ ‘ 1 field or the Aggie captain and
the Corps responded by knocking

it off until the ball was snapped.
We never had to be asked by
the Dean and no one raised a big
fuss about it. We were in sev
eral fights during those years too
but we never started one — just
finished them. In 1957 TCU paid
a large sum for uniforms, boots,
sabers, etc. stolen or destroyed
during a fight they started in Ft.
Worth. We were proud that it
was not our fault. Whatever the
reason, too much yelling is worse
than none at all and when you’re
asked to quiet down it should be
done and no one should have to
ask you except the Yell Leaders.
This business of stealing band
hats, etc. should be left to the
cookie-pushers.
You people are fortunate to be
attending the best school in the
country and you should keep this
uppermost in your thoughts and
take every opportunity off cam
pus to prove it whether it be by
wearing a uniform neatly press
ed, marching tall and proud in a
Corps Trip parade or yelling at
a ball game. The football team
gives its best in every game, and
its your job to help them win it.
If they are behind, you won’t help
put any figures on that score-
board by acting like an animal
but you will do a lot to influ
ence others about what kind of
school A&M is and whether or
not they will want their young
men to go there. From what I
have heard and read over here
they have not been impressed
favorably in the past several
weeks.
These opinions are based on
what I’ve been informed of and
may not be all true as I am not
in a position to either see or hear
the games. I hope they are not
true. I will have an opportunity
to listen to the game with t.u.
about 9:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving
Day. I hope to hear the men of
A&M yelling loud and clear but
only when they are supposed to.

Vietnamese Buddhists
Disillusioned With Leaders
SAIGON, South Viet Nam (A>>
— Disillusionment appears to be
growing among many devout Bud
dhists with the leadership of their
faith.
“Vietnamese Buddhism is fall
ing into the hands of self inter
ested politicians and the Viet
Cong itself,” one Buddhist said
Monday. “Last year when we
Buddhists rose up against Ngo
Dinh Diem we were united and
willing to give our lives. Now I
am ashamed to be associated with
what is going on.”
The speaker was among hun
dreds of Buddhist faithful ar
rested in demonstrations against

Northwestern 9 s Library
Considered Campus Lab
By Intercollegiate Press
Evanston, 111. — Northwestern
University will ej-ect a boldy con
ceived $10 million “laboratory”
library, incorporating educational
and architectural concepts estab
lishing it as the intellectual capi-
tol of the University and a new
74-acre campus now under con
struction in Lake Michigan.
Consisting of three separate
but interconnecting research pavi
lions, each rising four stories
above a broad plaza, the new
library will embrace a total area
of 337,000 square feet of tailor-
made space for:
Working collections and stor
age facilities capable of handl
ing more than two million
volumes.
Radial rather than linear ar
rangements of books and re
sources, spreading like sun-
brusts from central informa
tion centers.
A library within a library fea
turing a “core” of key books
set aside from the larger re
search collections.
Solving the problem of ever-
expanding collections crowding
out readers by providing cus
tom-made space for a constant
ly changing, but constant-in-
size, “active” research collec
tion of one million volumes.
Providing individual private
and semi-private study areas
immediately adjacent to the re
search collections for 3,000 stu
dents and 200 faculty at any
one time.
Incorporating up-to-date tech
nology that will enable readers
to communicate by television
and telephone between various
sections of the library, and per
mit adaption of information
retrieval methods as they are
developed.
Rather than row after row and
floor after floor of overwhelming
stacks, the new “laboratory” lib
rary will be divided into three
manageable research pavilions,
one for books devoted to the social
sciences and human behavior, an
other to the humanities, and the
third to history.
Readers will move from the
card catalogue near the main lib
rary entrance, through a single
control point, to elevators which
lead up to the research collections
in each pavilion. Intermingled in
the pavilions will be private study
carrels whcih will enable students
to work near their research ma
terial. On each floor, books will
radiate from the center in every
direction in order to make them
more accesible to readers than
they are in the traditional lineai
stacks.
Student-Faculty Work Space
2,200 undergraduates, 800 grai
uates, and 200 faculty member
will be able to study in the lib
rary at one time, at least half «l
them in individual carrels. Tit
library at one time, at least half
of them in individual carrels. Hit
library’s flexibility will also al
low its undergraduate-gradual*
seating capacity to be altered ts
any percentage future enrollment
increases may make necesary.
