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.

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.
