Editor,
The Battalion:
HOWDY! Paul Scopel is my
name and I am a candidate for
the run-off election for Secreftary-
Treasurer of the Class of 1971. I
ask for your support because I
feel that my qualifications and
ideas are acceptable to our entire
class.
During the course of this cam
paign, I have been asked what
are my motives for becoming Sec
retary-Treasurer. I have replied
first, that I major in Accounting;
thus, I feel that I am competent
and prepared for the position of
Treasurer. As to the position of
Secretary, I think that this officer
should inform the class members
of the decisions of the other of
ficers and the state of the class
treasury. Such information could
be provided in a monthly column
in The Battalion, if possible.
In closing, I wish to thank those
who supported me in the prelimi
nary elections last week. Again, I
ask for your support, and to the
entire Class of 1971, I ask that
you vote for me to help insure
the BEST INFORMED and the
MOST THRIFTY Sophomore
Class possible!
PAUL A. SCOPEL ’71
Candidate for Secre
tary-Treasurer

Editor,
The Battalion:
A few nights ago I witnessed
something that destroyed most of
the pride that I had felt in going
to A&M. A fellow student from
Atlanta, Georgia, was tricked into
leaving a Northgate restaurant
by a mob of “vigilantes”. Once
outside, the vigilantes grabbed
the student and dragged him into
an alley where they cut his hair
and mustache.
Not to be confused with the
people that wear country and
western clothing,- the vigilantes
held the “haircut party” under
the pretense of wanting to make
the student a “good” Aggie. These
actions remind me of the Rus
sian’s Bolshevik Revolution when
fellow comrades wanted to make
everyone a good “commie.” Do
these protectors of A&M’s student
quality realize that in America
people have the right to dress
the way they wish, say what they
wish, and pursue happiness in any
manner they choose according to
the Constitution of the United
States ? Of course there is a limi
tation to pursuit of happiness,
that being the condition that it
doesn’t destroy the freedoms, pri
vacy, or rights of other citizens.
Also our laws prescribe punish
ment for such social deviants.
The students involved in the
cutting of the other student’s hair
have placed themselves in a posi
tion that, if caught, they could
be disciplined by school authori
ties (contrary to their belief that
a University counselor gave them
authority to act as they did). Also
the victim can file charges against
these students.
I firmly believe that the ma
jority of students on campus and
off feel as I do and view the ac
tions of this minority as indica
tive of adolescents in high school.
At the same time, however, they
may also disapprove of the ap
pearance of the student that was
shaved.
If you disagree with someone’s
appearance on campus and you
feel that he is in violation of
school policy, then file a com
plaint with the Campus Security,
your dormitory counselor, or the
Office of Student Affairs. If on
the other hand you are bored and
have a case of spring fever then
get with someone that is suffer
ing from the same problem and
cut each others hair.
If you insist on giving hair
cuts and causing trouble don’t
hide behind “good Aggies” and
say you are ridding the school of
“peaceniks.” Instead, admit you
are trying to release boredom.
You say you represent the Coun
try and Western Klan—I doubt
it. Among the members of your
vigilantes there are a few that
bring disgust to the minds of
those that know them. Some of
these vigilantes have long records
in the school files for violating
University rules.
Need I say that those on the
vigilante committee are walking
on thin ice, and that they aren’t
getting any lighter. If there are
those that feel they have been
given University sanctioning, then
they had better check the person
who sanctioned their action—I
have, and he has assured me that
in no way did he sanction, okay,
or encourage such behavior. I
challenge you to defend your posi
tion by explaining in the Battal
ion your source of authority.
