Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, September 14, 1967 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle The New Staff Takes The Helm Probably every fall on every college campus there arrives an affluence of new ideas, faces and incoherent activities. If one were to transpose terms and call the occasion “election day” instead of registration, the scene would remain familiar. The country politician would mount the speaker’s plat form and bubble over huge, hollow promises. The constituents would rise to the occasion. Though they travel to the stump-thumping grounds in a multitude of arguments and dissention, hundreds of chickens in hundreds of pots would bond them in unison. Now transpose terms again. The Battalion is a newspaper, first to the students of Texas A&M, also as the official newspaper of the City of College Station. As a newspaper staff, it will be our obligation and responsibility to report the news as fairly, accurately, and quickly as possible. To keep from resounding the promise of good journal ism “in every pot,” let’s examine this thing called “news.” News is made by people, and is seen through the medium of people. The news printed in the Battalion is the reflection of students at Texas A&M. It is a mirror to their ideas, activities, problems and opinions. The editorial content of the Battalion is a reflection of the readers, but from a different viewpoint. Just as a news article is written to inform, the editorial is written to prick the readers, to make them think, and make them shape an opinion. Our editorial views on certain subjects will be considered both right and not-so-right. They may at times congratulate and on other occasion cajole. But whatever the academic case-in-point, all editorials will search for reaction from the reader. The new Battalion staff makes no promises to the students of a glorious revolution on the A&M campus. There is a more important movement here. The move ment of learning, of thinking, of people interacting with people, of ideas hitting stumbling blocks and then moving those out of the path, and looking for more. It is evolu tion — an evolving of human being — a growing-up and maturing of man. That’s the news we hope to portray — not hollow or superficial renditions of something false. But of something real, and alive, and increasingly dynamic — you, the reader. ★ ★ ★ Study Grants Available Not only am I going to th’ game but I’m gonna see it, too.

Singing Cadets Begin Rehearsals Fill Kyle Field The A&M-SMU game will be televised nationally and millions across the country will watch the contest. Among those millions there should not be a single Aggie. The place for each and every Aggie Saturday afternoon is in the east stand of Kyle Field. Every effort is being made to fill the stadium so that not one single vacant seat can be seen on television. But this is not the best reason to attend the game. This year the Aggies are back and there should be someone there to welcome them. The Singing Cadets of Texas A&M will begin fall rehearsals Monday, President Lee Millican of Floresville announced. Rehearsal is set for 5 p.m. in the Singing Cadets Room in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Auditions for new members start at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, also in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Mil lican said auditions may continue for several days until possibly 30 replacements have been selected for the 60-voice glee club.
