CADET SLOUCH

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.

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

find them among the most rous
ing in the world. 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.

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.

Very few of the students vote
in elections at Texas A&M be
cause no matter what views the
officers may have, the Adminis
tration will make all the impor
tant decisions. Last year the Stu
dent Senate voted unanimously
in favor of allowing political
clubs on campus, but the Admin
istration disregarded their opin
ion despite strong popular sup
port for the move, and then there
was also the Battalion affair.

AN OPEN LETTER
Hello Aggies,
For several weeks we have been running our adver
tisement in the Battalion telling you about Aggieland
Recreation Center located behind Betty’s Fashions in the
Redmond Terrace Center, College Station, Texas.
We’ve told you that we have two five by ten billiard
tables, two five by ten snooker tables, sixteen four by
eight billiard tables, seven pin ball machines and other
games. That we are open 7 days each week from 8 a. m,
till midnight. That no alcoholic beverages are sold or
allowed. That we sell billiard supplies, jointed cue sticks,
etc.
Hundreds of Aggies have visited our Recreation
Center, and we believe most of them were impressed. If
you have never visited the Aggieland Recreation Center,
we hope you will very soon. We believe you will like what
you see.
