The Wonderful World Of Sound Off
CADET SLOUCH

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,

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.

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,

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.

Apparently students know little
about either journalism or its
