THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Tuesday, December 13, 1966
Christmas Spirit?
It is a shame that many A&M students who wish to
express the Christmas Spirit on campus by decorating their
dorms or rooms are curtailed by some students who delight
in tearing down or defacing such attempts.
Students in one dorm erected a decorated tree above
their entranceway. It stood only several days before being
maliciously tom down. Signs or posters on campus are
subject to theft or defacement constantly, regardless of
their importance or value.
Christmas is a time of sharing and it should apply to
our campus as well as our off-campus life.
Aggies have a reputation for being respectful of others
and it should certainly be evident at this time of the year.
Holiday Housing
Arrangements Set
Housing Manager Allan M.
Madeley yesterday emphasized
the importance of early housing
arrangements for students plan
ning to stay on campus during
the Christmas holidays.
“All dormitories will be closed
and locked at 6 p.m. Friday,”
Madeley explained, “except dorm
itories 13 and 22 and ramps E, F,
G and H of Walton Hall.”
Madeley made the announce
ments in a Housing Office memo
randum to the student body.
“Any student who will have
difficulty clearing his dormitory
by the time indicated for it to be
locked, because of transportation
or other problems, should contact
his dormitory counselor for ar
rangements,” the announcement
continued.
entrance to a closed dormitory
should check a.t the housing office
for clearance, the announcement
stated. Entrances will be limited
to special cases only-.
Madeley urged all students to
close windows and lock doors to
their rooms. First floor windows
in particular should be locked, he
said.
Dormitories will be unlocked at
8 a.m. Monday,, Jan. 2.

The Editor,
The Battalion,
Dear Sir:
While participating in the
Computer-Match Debate Tourna
ment on your campus this week
end, I happened to read your ex
cellent editorial on student strikes
against the war in Vietnam. It
was one of the finest expressions
of opinion that I have read in
any college publication and you
are to be strongly commended for
your honest and forthright stand.
In addition, the debaters from
the various schools participating
were unanimous in their praise of
the helpful and friendly attitude
of the A&M student body in
showing those of us who were
strangers our way around.

A resolution asking for the re
moval of political club bans on
college campuses was passed re
cently by the Texas Young Re
publican Federation.
Copies were sent to the A&M
Board of Regents, President Earl
Rudder and James P. Hannigan,
dean of students.
The resolution said, in part:
“Whereas these organizations
(campus political clubs) have the
official sanction of college admin
istrations as campus clubs, in
both state-supported and private
institutions . . .
“Therefore be it resolved that
the . . . Texas Young Republican
Federation urges the board of Di
rectors of Texas A&M Univer
sity to reverse the current ban of
political organizations from the
Texas A&M Campus . . .”
A copy of the resolution was
also sent to the state Young
Democrats meeting, in the hope
that they would also adopt the
resolution.
The adoption of the resolution
was announced Monday night at
the meeting of the A&M Young
who expect to remain in their
rooms during the Christmas holi
days must report to the Housing
Office and sign for their room in
order that they may be located if
need arises. No extra fee will be
charged to those signing up for
the holidays.
“Any students, including per
manent occupants, found living in
one of the dormitories left open,
who have not registered with the
Housing Office on the holiday
roster or any students found in
one of the locked dormitories
without permission, will be sub
ject to disciplinary action,”
Madeley warned.
