The Wonderful World Of Sound Off CADET SLOUCH Zei by Jim Earl Editor, The Battalion I want to take this opportunity to thank the Class of ’68 for mak ing me their Junior Class Presi dent. I deeply appreciate all the support I received during the election and also the opportunity to become even better acquainted with members of my class. I would also like to express my appreciation to my opponents — A1 Allen, Fred May, Don Allen and Ronnie Coleman — for their effoi-ts and sportsmanship. Your support and interest in the Class of '68 gives me even more incentive to be the best president I possibly can. Through your cooperation and support I know next year will be our best. Sincerely, Jerry Campbell, ’68 order to preserve for oneself. American boys are dying in Viet Nam to protect the right of Mr. Rasalan to have his viewpoint printed in The Battalion, let us not allow him to let these boys die in vain by choking off the rights of others. It is time for Texas A&M to come out of the Middle Ages — academic freedom is not a luxury, but a necessity if A&M is to be called a university. It is time that the archaic A&M steps aside for a modern, vibrant A&M. Respectfully yours, David Feth Green, Grad-Wildlife Science ★ ★ ★ The whole intent of this little squib is to unloose a plaintive cry for a cheering section for the two great A&M bowling teams that are so good at crumpling those pins. Why not a really sizable gallery for future bowling tournies. Ed Blouse ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion, In regards to a letter published in the March 30, 1966 issue of The Battalion I offer the follow ing viewpoint. If Mr. Rasalan desires a campus that has maintained a “. . . peace ful academic and cultural envir onment,” I may suggest Moscow U. or Peking Polytech. The free dom to speak one’s mind freely, without fear of repression, is America’s backbone. Each man has the right to speak his piece, within certain reasonable limits. I do not believe that the President of the Pakistan Student’s Associ ation overstepped these limits. What if the president did hint that the U. S. is interfering with his country’s destiny ? What is important is that we protect his right to present his viewpoints in public. A student organization should promote goodwill and understanding—but this is a two- way street. Mr. Rasalan seems unable to cope with any ideas foreign to him. If we all fol lowed Mr. Rasalan’s credo of “Don’t rock the boat;” or “When in Rome do as the Roman’s do”—■. all mankind would still be roam ing the jungles, just a half step better than the beasts. This desire of Mr. Rasalan to destroy all opinions he does not hold as true is more detrimental to the American way of life than any Communist conspiracy. If one calls himself an American, be an American, and don’t attempt to deprive others of the rights one would surely fight and die for in Editor, The Battalion, On Tuesday, 7 December ’65, the BATT carried an editorial re ferring to our honor code as a farce. This article referred to cheating on quizzes. There is another aspect of cheating that was not mentioned — copying homework, reports, etc. It seems to me that these out-of-class as signments should be the student’s own work just as should a quiz, but I cannot think of one man I know that will not freely admit copying homework, etc., verba tim. What can be learned this way ? Sure, there are many ex cuses, but it still looks like cheat ing to me. Very Sincerely, David L. Feray, ’67 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion, I was hugely tickled to read Hr. Rasalan’s letters published in The Battalion (3-30-66). I have a few observations to make. 1) I do not enjoy a tempest in a tea-pot!!! 2) The speaker has a right to extole his views. The listener has every right to disagree with him. 3) I feel the speakers did not mean to hurt anybody’s feelings or sentiments. 4) It is against all protocol to a guest to run to a newspaper office!!! There are other milder and genteel ways of doing things. 5) Why not cultivate a tactful sense of humor!!! It would help all of us! 6) Why enjoy tragedies!!! Why not enjoy the daily comedies of every-day life ? How about this ? 7) Laugh it off!!! An Amused observer, Aed A. Laman ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion, The Pin Crumplers The annual A&M Intercol legiate Invitational Bowling Tournament was run last Friday and Saturday. The team event was won by L.S.U., with A&M coming in a Editor, The Battalion, Editorials appearing in The Battalion concerning the recent cadet court case have caused con siderable discussion and outcries of “irresponsible journalism.” Last semester’s Corps vs. Civil ians editorials also caused Bat talion staff members to answer countercharges, listen patiently to emotional outbursts, and in the student body informed worth weight also. On page two is always printed these words: The Battalion is a non-tax supported, non-profit, self-supporting EDUCATIONAL enterprise edited and operated by students as a university and com munity paper.” Just as there are chemistry and language labora tories to practice, learn and make mistakes, joumalish students write for The Battalion and other student publications as their lab oratory work. When a Battalion writer voices an opinion, editorials are set aparti and listed as such, he risks the wrath of student opposition, and the permanent brand of “yel low-press journalist.” Personal coverage of every event is sometimes impossible with a staff of nine where there is a need for sixteen. Or are Batt writers supposed to possess superman qualities of being pres ent in two places at once. Lest we forget, Batt writers are full time students, with just as many courses to study and just as many tests to pass as anyone else. Only they’ve taken on the added and grade-point losing task of writ ing, editing and publishing a pol ished publication four times a week. Ever tried studying after working six hours on a paper ? Editorializing in its proper place is not only important but it is manditory for any decent news paper. An opinion will always irk some people but it also prompts discussion, study, and many times a resolution of prob lems; its primary objective. And has the Batt ever refused to pub lish a letter to the editor which wasn’t completely destructive, childish or indecent? Writers don’t claim to be in fallible or omniscient. They make mistakes as does everyone, only their mistakes stand naked in the public eye. I believe The Bat talion will always try to maintain accuracy, full and fair coverage, to make its mistakes, to learn and to first serve the public. Respectfully, Robert J. Solovey ’68 Placement Office Aids Graduates The Placement Office is de signed to help graduating seniors, graduate students and former students acquire a position in the professional field. W. R. Horsley, placement direc tor has urged seniors and gradu ate students to use the placement office “even if you have a mili tary contract.” Many business firms will keep student’s college resumes on file for five years or more. It will also give seniors and graduate students a chance to meet the business world on a scale that will help prepare them in decid ing on the right professional ca reer. Seniors and graduate students who will graduate at the end of the current academic year are urged to register with the Place ment Office. The earlier one reg isters, the sooner a reference file can be built. “Don’t look now, but I believe you’re fixing to get one of th’ most creative excuses for leaving early for th’ holidays you’ve ever seen!” Read Classifieds Daily close second. However, some choice tidbits on the smorgasbord table, such as high singles, high series, and high game were won hands down by Aggie bowlers, the principal executioner being one Perry Kin der. This young man’s foot work is a little “Fancy Dan,” but his over-sized pill hooks unerringly in the pocket for a strike mark on the score sheet. Texas A&M has two great bowling teams, well deserving of real support by the student body, at least to the extent of their presence in numbers for import ant competitions. some cases “play it cool” for a few weeks. Apparently students know little about either journalism or its ethics. The editorial page is page two of a four and sometimes eight page paper. It is only a part, but a very important part of a well-rounded publication. How can any thinking student condemn a paper which also cov ers speeches, visitors, student government, science, the arts, personal sketches, entertainment, feature articles and the thousand and one other activities which take place yearly.
