An observer tends to feel out-
of-step if everybody is running
around aclaiming the greatness
of something that the observer
couldn’t care two hoots about.
The present album released by
Trini Lopez on the Reprise label
fell into this catagory on the
first listening.
in the Top 10 in 21 counti-ies
around the world.
But, if the record is spared
and time is taken to listen to the
voice again, there comes a strange
warmth, a hypnotic power, a
loneliness, a love and all the
emotions rapped into one smooth,
personal projection.
FORUMS
AUSTIN OP) — A key portion
of Gov. John Connally’s higher
education program, state-fi
nanced loans for college stu
dents, went to a conference com
mittee Monday to work out
House- Senate differences.
“MARRYING OUTSIDE
YOUR FAITH ,,
It is hard to argue with the
success of a man whose total
international sales have crossed
the 10 million mark since 1963;
however, after listening to two
of the six albums, this corner
found that it was not alone in
its feelings.
Trini Lopez has won another
fan.
The Folk Album had to come,
eventually. Over one half of
the former Dallasite’s sales have
come from the Peter, Paul and
Mary hit, ‘If I Had A Hammer.’
. . . will love find a solution?

The big difference between
House and Senate versions of
the proposed constitutional
amendment is in the amount of
money to be raised by state
bonds for the program.
Many people subscribe to them
-— for a while.
In the Folk Album, as in his
others, Trini Lopez’s voice, ac
companied only by two guitars
and a drummer, sounds naked and
alone. At first, the listener won
ders at the singiness of the beat
and may mistakenly think he
detects a quiver, a break in the
voice.
What is the secret of his suc
cess? If that could be pinned
down, there would be many im
itations and no successes for any.
If the armature is lifted and
the record broken, the listener
would go away questioning the
sanity of anybody that would
suggest that this man and his
simple style could have a song
Maybe he says things with the
melodies that non-performers
only wish they could express.
Maybe his simple style’s success
can be pinned to the fact that
is so much cleaner and simpler
than the average ‘music’ that is
forced down America’s throat
every day.
One thing is certain. It is hard
to be luke-warm about Trini
Lopez. Either you like him or
you don’t.
House members approved a
$100 million bond proposal,
which the senate reduced to $75
million. Connally asked for a
$50 million loan program. Rep.
George Hinson of Mineola, spon
sor, said the amount should be
raised to $85 million.
Senators tentatively approved
a proposed constitutional
amendment to double the alloca
tion from state property taxes
for college constitution, adding
$5.5 million a year for that pur
pose.

Editor,
The Battalion:
The last few weeks and months,
in the debate over coeducation
and the Corps of Cadets, one
word has been used over and
over. That word is “quality.”
This is as it should be; our main
concern as a university has to
be that of “quality”: in educa
tion, leadership, and all the oth
er things that make up the sys
tem. However, nowhere in the
debates have I seen or heard
any attempts to define just what
we mean by “quality.” Obvi
ously there is some disagree
ment.
Advisors Doubt
Gas Effectiveness
SAIGON, South Viet Nam (A 5 )
— Many U. S. military advisers
doubt that nonlethal gas can be
used effectively against;the Com
munist Viet Cong at the present
time.
“It looks just too sophisticated
for Viet Nam,” one adviser com
mented.
“The coordination, the intelli
gence, the aggressiveness requir
ed in the use of gas are lacking
here so far.”
Other advisers interviewed had
participated in one way or an
other in a series of gas experi
ments and operations since last
December.
The military effectiveness of
gas lies in attackers’ ability to
get quickly atop the target. So
far, this has been a major prob
lem. Troops have at most about
15 or 20 minutes to move in after
gas has been spread-at least with
the kinds being used so far. This
gives little time for troops to
move up and police an area out.
It may be that quality is
knowing more facts from a cer
tain book. It may be the ability
to make better grades on a test;
to make higher marks in Mili
tary Science; to march better
than other outfits living in Dorm
8; to cuss louder than a Tea-
sip; to wear a dirtier hat to the
mess hall; or any number of
things. We have to decide ex
actly what it does in fact mean,
and then progress from there to
solve the problems in question.
• - •:
I submit that quality is not
one of the items listed above;
but that instead, quality in edu
cation is the state of mind which
enables each individual to adjust
and contribute to the society
of which he is a part. If we,
as a university cannot help shape
this state of mind, then our
existence is useless.
It is the responsibility of this
institution to challenge the stu
dents, and then to allow the stu
dent to go through the process
of creative thinking aimed at
the most logical and original solu
tion. When Texas A&M does
this, either by coeducation, re
organization, or any other means
that will achieve that result, then
and only then will we be a “qua
lity” university in the fullest
meaning of the word.

EDITOR RONALD L. FANN
Editor,
The Battalion:
That article in The Battalion
of March 24, 1965, about the
eight miles of shelves in the
Cushing Memorial Library, was
very interesting indeed. How
ever, this does not necesarily
mean that there are eight miles
of books; a conclusion drawn by
looking at the shelves.
Furthermore I would say, that
rather than giving publicity to
the shelves and wasting time
measuring them, a better service
of maintaining the library in or
der and adding the missing liter
ature, would be welcomed and
appreciated by the student body.

Editor,
The Battalion:
In your recent publication was
an article stating, “. . . the coun
cil proposes that a vigorous pro
gram be instituted to clarify the
public image of A&M.”
As an “Ex,” I will say this
image needs more than clarifi
cation.
Years ago the school and the
cadet personified by his uniform
had the sincere respect and ad
miration of everyone, but the
image has since changed.
Several years ago at the TCU
game in Fort Worth, the conduct
of the Corps was ridiculous, and
everyone around was comment
ing. The A&M yell leaders (or
maybe they are now cheerlead
ers) were asking for yells each
and every time the TCU quar
terback started calling signals.

A&M lost thousands of support

This has continued, and the last
game I attended was at Austin
in November. There were a num
ber of former students around
me. One said, “With that dis
play of poor sportsmanship, I
am ashamed for anyone to know
that A&M is my school,” and sev
eral others agreed.
There was also publicity in
the Dallas papers recently about
someone in the stands blowing
a whistle to confuse the players
during the last basketball game
with SMU.
The yell leader’s job is to main
tain control of the students and
not to promote and incite such
actions which disgrace the school
in the eyes of the public and the
former students.
Win, lose or draw — anyone
can be a gentleman — even an
A&M cadet.

IS EUROPE?
College life is such a busy one, what with learning the Maxixe,
attending public executions, and walking our cheetahs, that per
force we find ourselves sometimes neglecting our studies. There
fore this column, normally a vehicle for innocent tomfoolery,
will occasionally forego levity to offer a quick survey course in
one of the learned disciplines. Today, for an opener, we will dis
cuss Modern European History.
Strictly defined, Modern European History covers the history
of Europe from January 1, 1964, to the present. However, in
order to provide employment for more teachers, the course has
been moved back to the Age of Pol icies, or the Renaissance, as
it is better known as.
The single most important fact to remember about Modern
European History is the emergence of Prussia. As we all know,
Prussia was originally called Russia. The “P” was purchased
from Persia in 1S74 for $24 and Manhattan Island. This later
became known as Guy Fawkes Day.
Persia without a “P” was of course called Ersia. This so em
barrassed the natives that they changed the name of the
country to Iran. This led to a rash of name changing. Mesopo
tamia became Iraq, Schleswig-Holstein became Saxe-C'oburg,
Bosnia-Hcrzegovina became Cleveland. There was even talk
about changing the name of stable old England, but it was for
gotten when the little princes escaped from the Tower and in
vented James Watt. This later became known as the Missouri
Compromise.
Only last week he invented the German short-haired painter.
Meanwhile Johann Gutenberg was quietly inventing the prim
ing press, for which we may all be grateful, believe you me. Why
grateful? I’ll tell you why: Because without Gutenberg’s inven
tion you would not have this newspaper to read and you might
never learn that Pcrsonna Stainless Steel Razor Blades are now
available in two varieties—the regular double-edge blade wc
have all come to know and love, and the new Pcrsonna Injector
Blade. Users of injector razors have grown morose in recent
years, even sullen, and who can blame them? How would you
feel if you were denied the speed and comfort and durability and
truth and beauty of Pcrsonna Stainless Steel shaving? Not very
jolly, I’ll wager! But injector shavers may now rejoice—indeed
all shavers may—for whether you remove your whiskers reg
ularly or injectorly, there is a Pcrsonna blade for you—a Pcr
sonna Stainless Steel Blade which will give you more luxury
shaves than Beep-Beep or any other brand you might name. If
by chance you don’t agree, the makers of Pcrsonna will gladly
buy you a pack of any brand you think is better.
Yes, friends, wc may all be grateful to Johann Gutenberg for
inventing the means to spread this great news about Pcrsonna.
The next time you’re in Frankfurt-am-Main, why don’t you
drop in and say thanks to Mr. Gutenberg? He is elderly—408
years last birthday—but still quite active in his laboratory. Only
last week he invented the German short-haired pointer.
But I digress. Returning to Modern European History, let
us now examine that over-popular favorite, France.
France, as we all know, is divided into several Departments.
There is the Police Department, the Eire Department, the Gas
and Water Department, and the Bureau of Weights and Meas
ures. There is also Madame Pompadour, but that is a dirty story
and is taught only to graduate students.
Finally we take up Italy—the newest European nation. Italy
did not become a unified state until 1S4S when Garibaldi, Cavour,
and Victor Emmanuel threw three coins in the Trovi Fountain.
This lovely gesture so enchanted all of Europe that Mctternich
traded Parma to Talleyrand for Mad Ludwig of Bavaria. Then
everybody waltzed till dawn and then, tired but happy, they
started the Thirty Years War. This later became known as Pitt
the Younger.
Space docs not permit me to tell you any more about Modern
European History. Aren’t you glad?
