Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 15, 1967 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Sound Off Reprinted from last Sunday’s Houston Post Where can I get a recording of The Spirit of Aggieland and the Aggie War Hymn by the A&M Band ? Mrs. D.E.S., Pasadena If you really WANT this item and can say “Ag ’em, Giggies!” without choking, send a check or money order for $4.38 (including postage and tax) to the Gift Shop, Memorial Student Center, Texas A&M University, College Station. This will get you a high fidelity collection of such rousing sounds as The Spirit of Aggie land, Aggie War Hymn, Silver Taps, Auld Lang Syne, The Twelfth Man, I’d Rather Be A Texas Aggie, The Star Spangled Banner, This Is My Country, U.S. Army March, and a bevy of those fighting Aggie yells that some people contend are as bloodcur dling as Brahms’ Lullaby. Rec ord will be mailed in plain brown wrapper if requested. “With a little red ink and this rubber stamp, you can be th* envy of your dorm—and at less expense than the con ventional method!” Something For Nothing? President Johnson's proposed national war on crime program in which the federal government would pay a large portion of the expense has encountered a more conservative plan in Congress. Johnson's program supposedly would not make the federal government the main agent in fighting crime, but would give it a major role in crime control by being a “big help” and a “guiding force,” says James Marlow, Associated Press news analyst. The conservatives suggest a better way to finance this war on crime would be through federal “tax-sharing.” By this method, the federal government would turn over billions of dollars from federal revenue without at taching any strings. Under this type of program, the states would be able to use the money to finance their own crime fighting programs. The drawback to this type of program is that the states may also use this revenue for any other project they consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, most states would probably choose the second alternative and spend the money on other projects, forgetting that “you don't get something for nothing.” The federal government WILL expect to have some type of results reported on their tax-sharing dollars. To prevent any type of nationwide federal crime war, it should be the responsibility of the states to do their share of crime fighting within their own boundries. A federal program will only lead to a diluted form of a police state. Editor: The Battalion This letter was sent in by mem bers of Squadrons 11 and 12 in reply to the question and answer appearing in the Houston Post “Action Line” column Sunday. Robert J. Scott ’69, Squadron 11 ★★★ Dear Sir: After subscribing to your fine newspaper, we, and the scores of fellow Aggies who subscribe to it, were astonished to discover that you would devote space in your publication, indeed in its question and answer column, to such tasteless, and pointless re marks at our expense. In direct reference to the arti cle, the lady who wanted the re cording of “The Spirit of Aggie land,” “The Aggie War Hymn,” etc., obviously did want it or she wouldn’t have asked in a manner so lacking in ennuendos and so “To-the-point.” In fact, if she could say “Ag’em Giggies” with out choking, as you suggest, it is doubtful if she would be the sort of person who would want the record anyway. The bit of irony you use to suggest that the sounds aren’t rousing is lost on us, since we Spring SCUBA Course Scheduled The first meeting of the spring SCUBA diving course will be in Room 306, Goodwin Hall, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, announced chief instructor Bill Schroeder. The fee of $15.00 per person must be paid that night.

We exclude “Silver Taps” and “Auld Lang Syne” from this group; because of their association they are sel dom played for diversionary amusement. Last of all, you contend^ that most of our yells are about as bloodcurdling as “Brahm’s Lul laby.” I certainly hope they are, since it is about as bloodcurdling as they are meant to be. For those yells represent our feelings at the games; they show small bits of our traditions, and they demonstrate our unity, teamwork, and organization. That’s all. There is only one yell that our opponents find bloodcurdling. It is our shortest, “Old Army Fight.” If you would care to send your Action Line commentator and some of his friends (hope fully he has some) up here to visit us, we would be more than happy to demonstrate it for him. In closing, please continue our subscriptions to the Post, but in the future send them in a plain brown wrapper. Yours truly, Sq. 11 and 12 plete control, for it has the au thority to do as it sees fit, within the restrictions set by the State Legislature. This, however, puts the Student Senate in the posi tion of either being a ruWiBr stamp or being over-ruled. As such it is ludicrous to expect us Aggies to get worked up over elections which effectively have no meaning. If we had a student govern ment with the power to influence university policy, we might be willing to get enthused. But to work just so the Administration can get Browny Points; I’d rath er stay in the bag. It’s more re warding.

That we are open 7 days each week from 8 a. m, till midnight. That no alcoholic beverages are sold or allowed.
