THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, November 10, 1967 Amendment No. Six Can Benefit A&M Outdated laws are like fat balloons which need to be popped, and the people have the pin to do it. On Wednesday we reviewed only one of six amendments proposed for the state constitution, and on which you, the voter, will decide tomorrow. Of the six proposed amendments, perhaps the most im portant one for Texas education and, thus for Texas A&M, is number six. It would permit non-elective state officials and em ployes to serve in other non-elective position under the state or federal government where there is no conflict of interest and where the state will benefit. As the League of Women Voters pointed out in their “Voter’s Guide’’, the proposed amendment would make qualified personnel available for additional state services, thus doing away with the employment of special consultants in many instances. Personnel of state supported schools, such as A&M, could serve on national boards. Such boards have a strong influence over the allocation of federal grants, and Texas’ relatively minimum number of grants in comparison with some other states can be attributed to this lack of represen tation on influencial national boards. We do not feel that there would be conflicting loyalties among employes serving the state and federal government simultaneously. The amendment provides that there not be a conflict of interests. We would hope that under a new law, those who did serve in two capacities could maintain efficiency with job time divided.

It sure will be nice since I haven’t been home since I came down here. 1 know I haven’t written, but I’ve been busy the past nine weeks. Guess what? I’m in the Air Force. How about that? When I got down here last September they asked me if I wanted to be in the Corps. I said, “The What?” Well, this guy in a sharp-look ing uniform wearing these riding boots looked at me kinda funny and said, “Where you from, sonny ?” I TOLD HIM 1 was from New York City and that my Dad grad uated from here in 1932. Dad, how come you didn’t tell me this was a military school, huh? Anyway, this real nice senior took me aside and told me that the Corps was this large fra ternity on campus and almost everybody joined it. He said that I would get to be in parades, and march at football games, and hoy, it sounded real exciting, so I signed my name on the dotted line. This senior grinned and this other senior walked over to him, handed him a dollar, and told him, “Baldridge, how did you do it? That’s your fifth one this morning.” THIS PAST week we’ve been building the traditional bonfire. Our bonfire is different from any other school’s because we use real trees. What the freshmen do is g‘o out into the woods and carry the logs to the truck. To do this we use . . . uhh . . . we . . . uhh . . . we chop down these smaller trees and put them under the log and then all the Fish carry it to the truck. On top of this, I have to chew chomping tobacco. OH, BY THE WAY, 1 got a letter from Shirley the other day telling me that our engagement was broken and she was going with this guy from Rutgers. For this I got a Silver . . . anyway, the guys were real sympathetic about it. Well, I’ve got to he going. I’ve got to go to the library and get some sleep. Last night I only got to wear my jump boots to bed and had to sleep on the springs. Love, Harry THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
