An Open Letter
To Friends of Mike Richards;
That famous AGGIE SPIRIT
became reality to our family the
night of Mike’s accident. The
hospital lobby was filled with
Aggies offering help and concern.
Mike joins us in thanking all of
you who offered and gave blood,
and all who assisted in every way.
Your many expressions of friend
ship have been a constant comfort
for us at this time of great stress.
May God bless and keep you.
Mr. and Mrs. Dick T. Richards
Editor’s Note:
Mike is the Aggie injured last
week in a one-car accident on FM
60. We are happy to report that
he is now out of danger and re
covering steadily.

Absentee Voting
Benefits Student
Surveys indicate that the ma
jority of Texas college voters—
over 50,000 strong—have a defi
nite preference for one of the
senatorial candidates in the com
ing election.
However, because most stu
dents are registered to vote in
their home towns and are away
at school in November, it is neces
sary for them to vote absentee.
Students think voting absentee
takes extra time and trouble and
many never get around to casting
a ballot.
One week from today is gen
eral election. Many public offi
cials are up for re-election and
any of them would give their
right arm for 50,000 votes, as
would their opponents.
Students are always demanding
more voice in society, and what
could be a louder than a vote cast.
Any student eligible to vote may
receive an application for a bal
lot by merely stopping by the
county clerk’s office in the Brazos
County Courthouse. With a five-
cent stamp, he can cast his ballot
without returning to the place
where he registered.

Abe Lincoln Says
Editor
The Battalion,
In reply to the letters pub
lished by Paul F. Gunner on (10-
25-66), R. L. Singletary, and F.
A. Tice on (10-26-66). The sud
den thought of what Abe Lincoln
once said occurred to me. He
said, “United we stand divided
we fall.’’ I feel the same is true
about this great university of
ours as was true of this great
nation of ours. Sure the Corp
of Cadets was here first but so
were the Indians. I am not ad
vocating abolishment of the Corp
of Cadets. What I am advocating
is that the Corp of Cadets and
Civilians take pride in TEXAS
A&M first and stand together as
Aggies have in the past, and
hopefully will in the future, in
stead of always degrading one
another. Remember an Aggie is
an Aggie whether non-reg or
military.

A ‘Fish’ Privilege
Editor,
The Battalion;
I have always wondered why
“Fish” at Texas A&M have not
been given the privilege to think,
but after reading Fish Gunner’s
letter in the Oct. 25, 1966, issue
of The Battalion, I know.
I do not know whether Fish
Gunner realizes it or not, but a
little better than half of the ath
letes here at Texas A&M are not
in the Corps. I suppose these
men are not considered Aggies by
him either.
The points expressed by Don
Coker in the Oct. 27, 1966, issue
of The Battalion are, in my opin
ion, of very sound judgment and
he speaks from experience.
What points I have left out, he
did not.
