For Thursday Election
Freshmen Candidates Urge Support
Editor,
The Battalion:
In campaigning as a candidate
for vice president of the freshman
class, I feel that some of my qua
lifications should be known. In
high school I was a nominee for
all school favorite and class fav
orite and I have had experience
on the student council. I was an
active member in several clubs
and organizations like the Na
tional Honor Society and the FFA
where I was secretary, vice pres
ident and president, thus giving
me the vital experience necessary
to successfully fill the office for
which I am running. As an Ag
gie (a true one!) I proved my
worth by working from start to
finish on the Bonfire as a fighter
in the volunteer outfit “F” Troop.
My name is Goode, so remember
it and mark it on the ballot
Thursday for freshman vice pres
ident.

“Howdy, fish Johnson is my
name.”
If you haven’t heard this yet,
you will soon. It’s one of my
goals to meet and get the opin
ions of every freshman at A&M.
This means more than just a vote,
because it is only informed of
ficers that can do the most for
the Class of ’69. How can we
have a really fabulous Fish Ball
or anything else unless the of
ficers know what the freshmen
want and use their ideas ? How
can we achieve the things that
will make the Class of ’69 the
best A&'M has known if it isn’t
brought together by interested
officers that won’t give up until
our class is the best.
I am sure of the many respon
sibilities of the freshman vice
president and I honestly know I
can do more than just fill the
office. I have held offices in
many clubs and organizations be
fore and vice president in sever
al. I know the time that must
be given and the true interest you
must have in a group before you
can make it something that will
long be remembered. I have the
experience, interest and deter
mination. Will you let me use it?

This letter concerns the Fresh
man Class of 1969 electing the
vice president of their choice. It
is impossible for each freshman
to know all of the candidates per
sonally and vice versa in such a
short period of time. I, Harvey
Cooper, would like to explain to
you, the freshmen, why I feel
that I am the most qualified
to fulfill the office of vice pres
ident for the Class of ’69.
In high school, I have held num
erous offices of clubs for which
I was a participant. I was trea
surer of the Latin Club, vice
president of Teen Against Com
munism, and president of the
Vigilanties. I was also a member
of the Youth for Christ and Thes
pian Clubs. Outside of school, I
was recreation chairman and vice
president of the Methodist Youth
Foundation (MYF), I was also
a member of the 4-H and active
in the DeMolay’s for three years.
On various occasions I have serv
ed as chairman and vice chairman
of special committees. Here at
Texas A&M I am a member of
the Pre-Vet Society and the
Rodeo Club.
I feel that the freshmen have
enough spirit that their goal will
be unlimited. With your support,
I will try to make these goals
possible. I will work for the
class to the best of my ability.
In doing so, I hope to meet and
work with each of you person
ally so that it ■will be possible
for us to know each other better.
Remember that the class of '69
is the best class Texas A&M will
ever produce and I would be
honored to serve as its vice
president.

Thrusday the Freshman Class
will take its first step in the
political life of Texas A&M. To
some, the fish elections may seem
unimportant, but to me the elec
tion of vice president could be
the most important event of my
freshman year. The vice presi
dent is a representative of his
class and must lead and assume
its responsibilities. I have the
desire and determination to rep
resent the class of 1969 well,
and to serve it in any position.
The student government repre
sents the student body and its
effectiveness is only as good as
its representatives. I feel that
active and interested participa
tion in the student government
can produce beneficial accomp
lishments. I strongly encourage
every freshman to vote Dec. 9
for the candidate best suited for
the office of vice president.

I am seeking the office of vice
president of the Class of ’69. The
duties of this office are few, but
at the same time important. The
person who seeks this office must
be willing to give both time and
hard work for his class; I am
willing to give both.
In high school I was a member
of the student council for four
years and served my last year as
its president. I also played sports
while in high school. I mention
these things only as qualifications
for the office I am seeking. The
only thing I have to offer is my
desire and willingness to work
hard for the Class of ’69 and do
my part in making it the best
class ever.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Why am I running for secre
tary-treasurer? It’s a good ques
tion and should be answered by
all candidates. In my case there
are many reasons. Even as a
young boy I wanted to become an
Aggie. Throughout my junior
and senior high school, this desire
grew. Such things as Yell Prac
tice and the burning of our bon
fire has given me a deep loyalty
to A&M and a desire to serve it.
This desire for service has
brought about my candidacy for
secretary-treasurer. I feel I am
qualified to represent our Class
of ’69 in this position. I was
secretary - treasurer of my
church’s youth group and ac
quired knowledge of student gov
ernment by serving in the student
council and executive board. Like
the average high school student, I
participated in extra-curricular
activities ranging from the Red
Cross to the swimming team.
I am now serving as fish treas
urer for the Duncan Area Delta
Y. I, like many fish buddies,
attended fish Y camp. This has
given me a fuller understanding
of A&M and has already helped
me in the duties of treasurer in
the Delta Y. Your support will
be greatly appreciated and your
vote for me would be a vote for
the person who is set on making
the Class of ’69 the best ever.

In the coming freshman elec
tion it should be almost taken for
granted that the candidates have
certain qualifications. I have filed
for the office of secretary-treas
urer and have probably about the
same qualifications as the other
candidates. I have served on stu
dent councils, committees and
offices. Since the qualifications
of the candidates are about the
same, their differences must be
in their goals for our class and
in the amount of work each per
son is willing to put into his
office. I believe that our class
has the potential of being one of
the best ever to graduate from
A&M and I am willing to con
tribute 150 per cent effort to help
organize and aid the Class of ’69.

summer. Social secretary is the
office which plans the social af
fairs for our class. I am major
ing in architecture and feel that
this could be of some aid in plan
ning events if I am elected. If
I am elected I would like very
much for any of you having ideas
for future social functions to get
in touch with me. Don’t forget to
vote Thursday and let's make this

My name is Jim Wofford and
I’m running for the position of
social secretary of the Class of
’69.
It is my desire to obtain this
office to better improve the social
functions of our class. I feel
qualified to hold this office, hav
ing been a member of the execu
tive committee for my high
school’s student council. I held
a position of leadership in my
graduating class, also. With these
accomplishments I ask you to vote
for me Thursday so I can work
for you, the Class of ’69, to the
fullest of my enthusiasm for the
betterment of our class.
I would greatly appreciate any
consideration you will give my
name on the ballot for social
secretary.

When you pick our social secre
tary you are picking the person
who will be in charge of all social
events of the Fish class. Whether
these events are a big success or
just mediocre is dependent mainly
on this one student.
For a student to hold this office
he should understand his duties,
be able to coordinate the commit
tees, accept suggestions, be a
hard worker, and get along with
his fellow students. The stronger
these qualities are the more suc
cessful this year will be as far as
social events are concerned.
I believe that I have these
qualities and if you elect me I
promise that I will do the best
possible job.

I am a candidate for fresman
representative in the Student Sen
ate, and would like to list here
some of my qualifications for the
office:
I was appointed delegate to the
1964 American Legion Boys State,
a student government session,
where I was elected railroad com
missioner.
While at San Angelo Central
High School, I served as student
council reporter, co-editor of the
newspaper, member of the debate
team, and three-year officer of
Key Club. I am presently a
member of SCONA, in which I
am serving as a member of the
publicity committee. I feel I
am qualified scholastically, hav
ing posted a 1.94 grade point
ratio at mid-semester as a mem
ber of the Honors section.
The office of Student Senate
representative calls for leader
ship experience. I believe I am
qualified to give effective repre
sentation, and if I am elected
I will use that experience for the
benefit of the freshman class.

I wish to take this opportunity
to ask the Class of '69 to elect
me to the Student Senate as their
representative.
I was bom and raised in Bedias
and attended high school in Ma-
disonville. I am majoring in
aerospace engineering.
I believe that my past exper
ience in school, church, and other
organizations will help me to per
form the duties that will be re
quired of a student senator. Some
of my activities in school were
president of the student council,
captain of the football team, and
vice president of the National
Honor Society. I was also active
in church work and in the 4-H
Club.
This semester I am serving as
food chairman for the Sbisa area
Delta Y Club.
If I am elected I will do my
best to represent the interest of
the Class of '69 in the Student
Senate.

My name is Fish Adair and
I am running for the office of
fish representative to the Student
Senate. I would like to discuss
three things. First, a little about
myself personally. Second, why
I feel I am qualified for the posi
tion, and last, my ideas on its
functions and responsibilities.
I am from Riverside, Calif., and
my major is preparatory medi
cine. Since my father is an offi
cer in the Air Force, I have lived
and traveled in many parts of the
world. I came to A&M mainly
because of its military program
and traditions.
In high school I held a variety
of offices and I had several re
sponsibilities. I was active in
student senate. Key Club and
the school Chamber of Com
merce. I laso participated in an
office in DeMolay.
So much for the past. The
present and future are what is
important. All of us fish are
members of two of the largest
fraternities in the world, that of
the Class of ’69, and the larger,
more inclusive one of being an
Aggie. It is the express job of
the fish representative to repre-
