If these areas are bugging you
vote David Maddox, Student Sen

care, let a candidate who can herd

lose interest the day after the
election.

Editor;
The Battalion:
Dear Sir;
Guess what!! Election time is
here again and as everyone knows
it is time for the “Other Guy” to
vote for a bunch of “unheard-ofs”
who “do nothing except make a lot
of titles” to go under their pic
ture in Who’s Who. Too often we
mask our laziness by saying there
are no issues — hence, no need in
our voting.
The time has come for us to
realize that our campus is not
dead. Issues are present and con
trary to “popular” (?) belief, our
administration will listen to the
student body. In running this
physical complex, injustices oc
cur and inequities exist — many
times they are over-looked When
pointed out, action is initiated. It
is for the students make their
desires known.
In this context I would like to
recommend to you a candidate for
the Student Senate vice-presi
dency. This is an important posi
tion and requires a person who is
a “doer”. David Maddox is a
“doer” (translated that means
“worker”). I never thought I
would engage in any more cam
paigning at A&M, but the issues
and platform David brings forth
are important and deserving of
student interest and support. The
problems that need dscussing are:
1. Our grading system and its
inequities
2. Political clubs
I do not feel that the individual
A&M student is inherently apa
thetic. The problem is more one
of frustration; frustration which
is a direct outgrowth of meaning
less elections devoid of issues
which almost invariably decay in
to popularity contests. This
Thursday the student body will
vote for another slate of officers
at the General Election I am a
candidate for the office of vice-
president of the Civilian Student
Council and, as such, am running
on something new to Aggie poli
tics, a platform. The planks may
or may not agree with an individ
ual’s own views but at least that
individual will know exactly what
he is voting for. I choose to run
for this office because I feel that
the civilian student body needs,
not a reflective panel of adminis
tration policy, but a voice of stu
dent wishes. A VOICE, NOT AN
ECHO; this is what I offer and
as such I would:
1. oppose the student clothing
regulations
2. favor on-campus social fra
ternities on a trial basis
3. favor on-campus political
clubs
4. favor a civilian freshman
orientation
5. favor a first semester
civilian social function
6. favor a permanent sugges
tion box in the MSC
In elaboration of the contro
versial first point I concur with
the Texas House Education Com
mittee (reference, The Battalion,
.A^>ril 20, 1967) and what I feel to
be a majority of the faculty and
civilian students in contending
that the administration should
worry more about improving our
education and less about con
demning our dress. This is my
platform; if elected I will strive
to see it enacted; I hope those
who concur will demonstrate the
fact with their vote.
Sincerely,
P. Wayne Gosnell ’69
Editor,
The Battalion:
Dear Sir;
Mr. Larremore (Sound-Off,
April 25) seems to be slightly
misinformed about Allen Gins-
burg. Ginsburg is a renowned,
and by some, respected poet, and
as far as I know, he is not in jail.
I suspect the Ginsburg Mr. Lar
remore is alluding to is Ralph
Ginsburg, publisher of Fact mag
azine. This Ginsburg has been in
federal prison for the sending of
“obscene” material through the
mails. However, at last report
he is out again, and editing his
magazine.
Sincerely,
James Beautries, ’68
many activities include being a
member of the MSC Council, Phi
Kappa Phi, the Ross Volunteers,
and the Election Commission.
Also, during this past year, Fran
cis was vice-president of the sen
ate. He has demonstrated ability
beyond question and has an ad
vantage that only experience can
bring.
Bill Carter, a sophomore, is cur
rently the vice-president of his
class. He was active in the sen
ate this year as the sophomore
representative from the School of
Agriculture. He has been secre
tary of the Ag Eco Club and was
honored last year as the Out
standing Fish in Co. D-l.
Both of these young men are
capable, hard-working, interested,
and deserving. Please support
them at the polls.

Dear Sir;
Each year that the last of April
comes, the student leadership
positions of Texas A&M are filled
with new faces and personalities.
These changes take place in the
Corps, in the Civilian Student
Council, in the MSC, in the YMCA
and in the Student Senate. As
the Student Senate prepares to
make its changes, there are sev
eral well-qualified people in pur
suit of the top offices.
Two of these people are Fran
cis Bourgeois, running for Stu
dent Senate president, and Bill
Carter, running for Student Sen
ate vice-president.
Francis has been very active
since coming to Texas A&M. His
To the Students of Texas A&M:
Pride and devotion, these two
words mean a lot when one de
scribes the kind of person he
would like to represent him on
the floor of the Student Senate.
I know that each of us wants to
see our own pride of, and devotion
to our school be a guiding force
in our Student Government. This
Thursday, in the election of your
Student Senate President, you
will have the opportunity to
choose such a person. In my per
sonal opinion, the one best quali
fied to serve you as Student Sen
ate President is Jerry Campbell.
Jerry has done a tremendous
job of not only representing the
Class of ’68 as its President, but
also in representing the entire
school on the football field. These
two jobs require different respon-
