Moulden 1968: Year Of The Loser In Presidential Election The recent New York Times election survey which shows ex- Alabama Gov. George Wallace in second place in voter preference points out the stupidity of either the voters or the poll takers in this country. Actually, Wallace should be about two hundred and second on the preference polls — just ahead of Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. The chances of obtaining a qualified president in the com ing election are almost nil for the simple reason that most voters seem somehow compelled to vote for someone whose name is on the ballot. With three nobodies’ names on the ballot this year — instead of the usual two — the chances of the voters making a mistake have increased from 100 per cent to 100 per cent. THE NATIONAL conventions have played a big part in making sure that no qualified presiden tial candidate is named on the ballot, although the conventions shouldn’t receive all the criti cism. They did manage to keep four other nobodies off the bal lot in the personages of Rocke feller, McCarthy, Reagan and McGovern. And that in itself calls for much praise. And speaking of conventions, only Wallace of all the candidates showed any intelligence in the convention field. He refused to call a convention of the Ameri can Independent Party where his backers would have almost surely defeated his bid for nomination in preference to Pat Paulson. Wallace’s uncanny foresight will assure him a major role in the forthcoming book, “How to Get Your Name on the Ballot, 1968,” and a hero’s welcome at the next Bull Moose Party convention. THE NEW YORK Times poll shows Republican candidate Nix on with a big lead among voters with less than one month until the election. Actually, the Re publicans would have a much larger lead if they had taken the lead of two soothsayers at the national convention • and nomi nated Harold Stassen, or maybe Snoopy. At first glance, considering the candidates, it might seem pru- BAIT (Continued From Page 1) is unbroken, The Battalion is ac tually celebrating three anniver saries this year, its 90th as a college publication, 75th as The Battalion, and 64th as a news paper. The oldest issue of The Batta lion as a magazine in archives is the December of 1894 Christmas edition. Editor was F. M. Law, now living in Houston, who also served as the president of the Austin Literary Society. “THE TWO societies on cam pus shared responsibilities of pub lishing the magazine. Each took over editorial management of the publication for part of the year,” notes former College Station Ma yor Langford. Other early editors of the mag azine, for which a subscription could be bought for $1 per year, included E. J. Kyle, H. C. Kyle, H. E. Rawlins, and O. M. Simp son. The oldest issue in the archives was donated by Miss Marian D. Mullins and presented to the col lege by M. V. Krenitsky. “Why Believer AGGIE DANCE Saturday, November 9, 1968 Following SMU Football Game Three Great Bands In The North Hall Of The Dallas Memorial Auditorium 8:00 p. m. to 1:00 a. m. $2.00 Per Person Greg - Carter Tickets May Be Obtained Tfhrough Wed., Oct. 9 Student Leaders or From Any Member Upstairs of The Dallas Hometown Club YMCA Sponsored By DALLAS FORMER STUDENTS THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion Servfces re inr^ew ti York y CuV N Ch?c n a a KO Ed L<Sr‘Angil^rnd'san are those of the student writers only.

However, there is always that second glance — and so much for Congress and the Supreme Court. THE ONLY remaining hope seems to lie in a national lottery. Every man, woman, and child’s name in the United States, and possibly the dependent states of South Vietnam and Great Brit ain, could be dropped into a hat and the President’s name could be chosen by Playboy’s Miss No vember. Immediately thereafter, both the Congress and the Su preme Court could be dissolved and reformed under the same system, providing Abe Fortas is not included. The results of this system could not be much worse than those now being faced and they hold the possibility of being much better. However, as it is probably too late to change to this new sys tem before the elections, it is suggested that all voters write- in their own name on the presi dential ballot. Then maybe the next president will at least be good old Bill Smith.
