Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 18, 1967 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Sound Off Group Begins Study Series On Religion Against Crime Editor The Battalion: In reference to Mr. Lamascus’ letter, I most heartily agree. Why shouldn’t we be allowed to wear what we want to Silver Taps? I think if we want to wear T-shirts, cutoffs, and thongs it’s no one’s business but our own. Also, if a guy needs a cigarette, why not let him smoke? After all, a lit cigarettes does not reflect what he feels in his heart. And besides that, what’s wrong with talking before and after, or even during the service? One must re member Taps is not held in a church, but out of doors. Too, why not turn on the lights during Silver Taps? It would be so much easier for those who wanted to study. In fact, why even have a Silver Taps if it is going to necessitate going out of one’s way to put on a shirt and pants and to give up smoking and talking for 30 minutes? Lamascus, why don’t you and your groady friends just stay home if there’s another Silver Taps? I’m sure the deceased Aggie would want it that way. Very sincerely, Richard P. Grimes ’67 Fifth Year Man Students Stage 'Smoke-In* At Florida Baptist School DELAND, Fla. (A 1 )—Stetson University students are huffing and puffing to blow down a rule and get back their cigarette machines. They thought a smoke-in Tues day night with 200 or 300 stu dents might do the trick. Dave Finley, a 20-year-old po litical science student from Sebring, Fla., who is spearhead ing the campaign, said, “We’ll be passing out free cigarettes” and playing “a little music” to boost attendance. “It’s a pretty good walk to buy FRESHMAN PICTURE SCHEDULE FOR 1968 AGGIELAND CORPS FRESHMEN: Corps freshmen will have their Yearbook Portrait Schedule: portraits made for the Aggie- land ’68 according to this sched ule at University Studio at North Gate in class “A” winter uniforms.

S. surgeon general’s report on smoking- and health, but continued to permit puffing in dormitories and some classrooms. South Baptists generally frown on smoking, but Bill Baggett, the Stetson dean of men, said the cigarette sale prohibition “was not on any religious grounds at all.” Finley campaigned for the Student Senate on a platform in cluding a plank calling for re moval of the sale ban. After his election, he introduced a resolu tion requesting return of ciga rette machines to the campus. The Student Senate passed the measure, but the Student Affairs Committee — composed of stu dents, faculty members and ad ministrators—voted it down 8-7. Then Finley decided to hold a smoke-in. “It’s just a way of showing- student support for the idea.” he said. “I’m going Friday to talk to the president of the university about it.” The president, Dr. Paul Geren, said Tuesday he has the senate request under consideration, but had made no decision. Stetson, about 25 miles west of Daytona Beach, has an enroll ment of 1,700. “It’s a new bumper sticker to go beside your ‘The Aggies Are Back’ sticker.” Bulletin Board TODAY The Aggie Wives Bridge Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Me morial Student Center. The Wesley Foundation will begin a series of programs to night on “Crime and the Church’s Responsibility.” These programs will make a serious attempt to understand this great social problem of crime in America today. This problem will be explored from several points of view as the following schedule indicates: Wednesday, October 18 — Dee Kutach, Director of Rehabilita tion, Texas Department of Cor rections; Wednesday, October 25—‘Op eration Teenage,’ a group of in mates from the Department of Corrections will speak of their experiences in crime; Wednesday, November 1 — Frank Rooks, F.B.I. agent from Houston; and Wednesday, November 15 — Judge Tom Reavley, 167th Dis trict Court in Austin. These programs will begin at 7:15 p.m. with a brief worship service and the program proper will begin at 7:30 p.m. Kutach, Rooks, and Judge Reavley are not only highly competent in their professional fields, but also each of these men are active churchmen and are closely related with the Methodist Student Movement. ‘Operation Teenage’ has been included in order to give our students an opportunity to talk to these people who are able to speak quite openly and honestly about their own ex perience in crime. Speakers are given complete freedom, except that they speak about the problem of crime as they see it from their own pro fessional stance, and as church men attempt to raise questions about their role in the solution of this problem. Ample time will be allowed for questions and dis cussion from paz-ticipants in the program. Any interested persons are welcome to attend these pro grams. Driving for pleasure is the na tion’s most popular outdoor rec reational activity, the Commerce Department says. Now Open!
