The old no tation read “A&M College.” There were formerly two stacks until one was de molished last year. Selective Service Classifications Listed By LARRY UPSHAW “We want you—if you are good enough,” says the modem day Uncle Sam. Since Uncle Sam will find an estimated 1,780 men in Texas good enough during October, the quota for Grimes and Brazos Counties will take a sudden jump. Previous state quotas have been around 700 to 900. “We have called 70 men for pre induction physicals during September,” said Mrs. Ruth Rideout, clerk of the two- county draft board, “and nine are being inducted.’ “In October approximately 45 will take the physical and 17 will be inducted. Therefore the induction quota will more than double,’ Mrs. Rideout explained. Just who has to worry about being drafted? The following classifications will try to explain who, why and when. If all men normally available for mili tary service, those classified I-A are inducted, then the men of other classifi cations are considered. The other classi fications are: Class I-A-O, conscientious objector, available for noncombat service only. Class I-C, members of the armed forces, the Coast and Geodetic Survey or the Public Health Service. Class I-D, qualified member of a re serve component or student taking ROTC. Class I-O, a conscientious objector available for civilian work maintaining the national health, safety or interest. Class I-S, student deferred until graduation from high school or until the end of his academic year at college. Class I-W, a conscientious objector now performing civilian work maintaining the national health, safety or interest. Class I-Y, a man qualified for military service only in time of war or national emergency. Many IV-F’s were reclassified into this group. Class II-A, occupational deferment. Men working on government projects. Class H-C, agricultural deferment for those who have to operate a farm. Class II-S, student deferment issued on a very temporary basis and subject to a review each year. Class III-A, an extreme hardship de ferment or man with a child or children. Class IV-A, man with sufficient prior military service. Class IV-B, an official deferred by law. Class IV-C, an alient not currently li able for service. Class IV-F, man not qualified for service because of moral, physical or mental reasons. Class V-A, man over the draftable age. Because I-A’s are being drafted pretty fast, married men without children may be drafted soon, Mrs. Rideout said. At this time students taking less than 12 hours of college work are being drafted. Mrs. Rideout said that all changes of address must be reported to the draft board. “If we can’t get in touch with a boy by any means, we notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation—and they always get their man,” Mrs. Rideout concluded.

By GARY MAYFIELD Battalion Staff Writer “Texas Aggies,” a decal which is displayed with maroon and white trim, seems to attract most Texas A&M car owners. A recent Battalion survey showed several different window stickers attached to cars through out campus parking lots. Of the different stickers, about 50 per cent had the “Texas Ag gies” decal. “It’s neat; it's big and will show up better,” quipped one freshman when asked why he purchased the “Texas Aggies” sticker. In between the words “Texas” and “Aggies” on his car, the freshman has the symbol of A&M’s ROTC program with the seal of the university. The survey indicated that the By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON <A>) _ Repub licans have been told by one of themselves that they need new ideas. Gov. John H. Reed of Maine told a group of Republicans here “we have been suffering for a number of years with idea gaps to cope with the problems of the modern world.” House Republicans, less than productive with new ideas, are hoping task forces they created will come up with some to be used in the 1966 congressional campaigns. But one of them, asked what the party stands for now, said “family unity.” Another said “fiscal responsibility.” This sounded like an echo of former President Dwight D. Eisen hower. He recently said Republicans should take their stand on fiscal responsibility, frugality and inte grity. Meanwhile, the Democrats, un- next most popular decal is the one with “Texas A&M Univer sity” on it. This sticker was on 17 per cent of the cars. “It’s small and stays out of the way. Those big ones seem to bother the driver’s rear view,” said one Aggie admirer. The big maroon and white “T” ran a close third to the “Texas A&M University” decal. This sticker attracted about 15.5 per cent of the Aggie automobile owners. The stickers for basketball and baseball championships in 1964 ran a distant fourth and fifth, respectively. Approximately one per cent of the cars surveyed had the college the student was enrolled in. The same percentage had Greek let ters to denote an organization they are members of. der President Johnson’s leader ship, are rolling through Con gress programs that have some thing for the poor, Negroes, children in school — and through them their parents, old people, and, through excise tax cuts, something for everybody. In the 1964 elections the Re publicans wound up in the Sen ate with only 32 seats to the Democrats 68 and in the House with only 140 to the Democrats’ 295. While the Senate Republicans, under the leadership of Sen. Everett M. Dikrsen, have been rather quiet on Johnson, House Republicans under the leader ship of Gerald R. Ford Jr. of Michigan and Melvin R. Laird of Wisconsin have been his con stant critics. They’re still searching for issues to use to try to make the Republican party more attrac tive to voters. “Successful Republicans,” Reed said, “must be able to convince the voter that our policies are Plans have been announced for an all-Aggie dance and early morning breakfast in Fort Worth’s spacious Will Rogers Coliseum following the TCU foot ball game Oct. 16. The dance will last from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m., at which time a catered breakfast will be served. Free setups will be pro vided and a Fort Worth band will supply the music. Price of the event is $3.50 per couple at the door. A&M ID cards are sufficient for identi fication. Rogers Coliseum, located! at 3301 W. Lancaster Ave., can ac commodate a maximum of 1,250 couples. In a preliminary sur vey of the Corps of Cadets last week, over 800 indicated that they would attend the dance. A survey of a cross-section of civilian students is currently be ing conducted. Friends of A&M in Fort Worth are sponsoring the dance, which tops off an activity-packed weekend. The first Corps trip of the year begins Oct. 15 and the stu dents at Texas Woman’s Uni versity have planned a mixer on the Denton campus in anticipa tion of it. Termed “Maroon and White A- Go-Go,” the dance will be held in the ballroom of the Student Union Building on the TWU campus. Dress for the Aggies will be sports shirts and slacks. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. and lasts until 11:30. Following the dance a yell practice will be held in the ball room. “Freshmen, don’t be standof fish,” is the request of Judy Jones, chairman of the TWU Student Council On Social Activ ities. “The girls are there for the same reason that you are,” she noted. Girls at TWU who haven’t superior . . . that they can provide the better life and the integrity that is a vital part of this environment. “We cannot solve tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s think ing.” House Republicans revealed their thinking this year on some of the major pieces of legislation which were passed by the House where Democrats, out-numbering Republicans more than two to one, could shove bills through. This is how House Republicans voted on some of that major legislation: On the medical care bill for people 65 and older: 70 Republi cans for, 68 against; on the $ 1.1- billion Appalachia aid bill: 25 Republicans for, 109 against. On the $1.3 billion school aid bill: 36 Republicans for, 96 Re publicans against; on the $7.8- billion house bill, with rent sub sides for low-income families: 26 Republicans for, 110 against. On the $1.9 billion anti poverty arranged dates for the game by Saturday will leave the campus at 8 a.m. and will travel to Fort Worth to view the Corps parade through the downtown area. Their headquarters will be the Hotel Texas and Aggies without dates can meet them at that loca tion. Curfew for TWU students Sat urday is 2 a.m. unless they file Corps Trip permission blanks with the TWU Dean of Students listing their place of lodging for the night. Miss Jones indicated that there was a “good chance” that the 2 a.m. curfew would be extended because of the lateness of the dance in Rogers Coliseum. Heat Overcomes 2 Fish Gridders, Both Hospitalized Two Fish gridders were ad mitted to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan Tuesday evening with what a team physician called heat prostration. Ralph Frank Krueger, 19, of Bryan and Carl Gough, 19, of College Station suffered the at tacks during workouts in 87-de gree heat with high humidity. Krueger is the brother of for mer A&M All-American Charley Krueger. “They are responding satisfac torily to treatment and are in no serious danger,” the team physi cian said. Aggie Head Coach Gene Stall ings said Gough had been report ed feeling sick for the last two days. He added that this was not a major incident, and “it just happened the two boys got sick on the same day.” Stallings added that the inci dent would not affect varsity plans for the weekly workout schedule. bill: 24 Republicans for, 110 against. On the civil rights mea sure of 1965 — the voting rights bill — the House Republicans were more affirmative, voting 111 for, only 20 against. At this point in their history Republicans would probably be hard put to say — if anyone of them tried to speak for all — what their philosophy is since they are beset with splinter groups. Ray C. Bliss, the GOP nation al chairman, earlier this year expressed grave worry about the effect of these splinters on the party. Later he invited them to come in under the Republican tent. “Once they are formed,” he said, “I am going to try to find a way to work with them.” There are perhaps 15 different groups which might fit — or want to fit — under the Republi can tent although, as one news paper said, Republicans have splinters to the right of them and splinters to the left of them.
