Editor,
The Battalion:
On December 4, 1968, the Class
of ’72 will have its first oppor
tunity to elect its representatives
to student government. The Unity
Party, a group of Fish dedicated
to eliminating the friction be
tween civilian students and the
Corps of Cadets, has selected us
as their candidates for the Stu
dent Senate. Our goal is to rep
resent the Fish Class the way
they want to be represented!
Through our knowledge of the
Student Senate and our present
activities in the various organi
zations on campus, we feel we
are qualified for these positions.
We would appreciate your sup
port December 4.
Sincerely,
Bill Hartsfield
Dwain King
Don Mauro
Phil Morley
Class of ’72

YOU’RE HERE
TO GET AN
EDUCATION.
PERIOD.
With a full academic load, and maybe a job on the side,
you need all the time you can find to get what you came for
... a college education.
Marine Corps officer programs don’t require on-campus
training. Students enrolled in Platoon Leaders Class receive
their training in the summer, either in two 6-week sessions
or one 10-week session. And you can enroll in PLC as early
as your freshman year, concentrate on your studies and look
forward to serving as an officer of Marines after college
graduation.
Ask a Marine. Talk to Major
Pool who will be in the M.S.C.
from 8:30 to 4:00 on the 19th,
20th, & 21st of Nov. 68.
Ask,

things are done somewhat dif
ferently at A&M than they are
at other schools in Texas, or any
where else for that matter. A&M
has a set of customs and tradi
tions which are, for the most
part, all their own. We civilians,
for the record, stand by these
traditions wholeheartedly, though
this subject has been railed back
and forth for years.
However, I’m writing this to
register a complaint, so here it
is. I don’t know how many people

Saturday morning and continue
through Tuesday afternoon. The
stack will then be turned over
to Firemen Training Center per
sonnel for fueling.
Youngkin said the stack will
probably be between 80 and 90
feet tall, and 100 to 150 feet in
diameter.
THOSE UNABLE to work on
the bonfire due to physical rea
sons, or anyone interested, is
asked to volunteer as a guard.
The guards restrict entrance to
the stacking area to students who
are working on the bonfire. Safe
ty as well as a security is in
volved. Those who desire to guard
should contact Bill Ashworth at
5-5248, or go by Moore Hall (20),
room 301.
Youngkin cautioned students to
use good judgement.
“One of the few ways we could
have the bonfire cancelled would
be to have a bunch of accidents.
Safety negligence could cost us
the Aggie Bonfire.”
noticed it, but at the last two
A&M football games, a player
of the other team has been seri
ously “shaken up” or injured on
the field. Now, Col. Adams and
the yell leaders take every op
portunity, at time-outs, to play
the Aggie War Hymn—we all
know this, and I believe we all
take pride in singing it. But
when a man is hurt on the field,
it is not the time to strike up
those familiar and well - loved
chords. I noticed at the SMU
game, when our players were
hurt, it was not played, but when
one of the SMU boys was hurt—
ta ta ta dum, ta dum, ta dum . . .
I feel that this practice is un
sportsmanlike and should be dis
continued.

Dragged down by exam cram?
Bugged by a roommate? Fed up
with dorm meals?
Escape from the ordinary.
Escape in an Olds Cutlass S.
With a Rocket 350 V-8
your escape will be quick and
easy. And economical.
Or order it up with a console-
mounted Hurst Shifter, and really
get in sync with what’s happening.
Or better yet, go directly to the
head of the class with W-31
Force-Air Induction and
put everybody down.
Custom Sport Wheels, GT stripes,
buckets—you can get as far from
the ordinary as you care to go.
The main thing is to escape,
baby. And there’s only one way
to go. |
