CADET SLOUCH

“Since this is a letter you’re writing- to a box holder at

much you love her since you don’t even know her yet!”

With the “Student Onion”
stench in Austin and S. I. Haya-
kawa unable to communicate in
San Francisco, maybe “The Grad
uate” should take a look at the
places where grumbling should be
directed on our campus before
complaints become causes.
If you have a gripe, who do you
go to see to get something done
about it? Let’s start at the top.
The top probably isn’t the best
place for you to start, but since
it is the top it is easiest to start
describing the process.
President Rudder is a favorite
suspect in any act that appears
to be “doing the Aggies in,”
whether it is spiritual, economic,
or academic. Contrary to popular
opinion he does not count the
sparrows on campus, so he may
not know the exact minute that
one falls. President Rudder has
on several occasions pointed out
that the door to his office is al
ways open to students and that
he can arrange an appearance for
a student before the Board of
Directors.
I HAVE NEVER tried to do
either of these. I do know that the
appointment for one group of stu
dents to see him came at the un
believable hour of 7 a.m. ... I
believe he showed up. But the bag
monster took precedence to what
ever the problem was for the
students that day.
Dean of Students James P.
Hannigan, is the next most pow
erful influence able to change
your humdrum life here at A&M
and is probably a much more ap
propriate place to begin naming
the courses of your discontent. He
has several hours of each day set
aside strictly for the purpose of
seeing students. It will help a lot
to get your complaint and the
remedy you like best on paper
before you go to see him. Other
wise his note-taking isn’t too dis
similar from a psychoanalyst’s.
And he is glad to see students in
his office, since that is part of
his job.
IF YOU are able to persuade
Ed Cooper, director of Civilian
Student Activities, that your
problem is really his problem, you
are in pretty good shape. He
seems to be able to get large sums
of money to flow in the direction
of his problems. I don’t know if
that always solves the problem,
but I’m sure that solvent prob
lems are the next best things to
solved problems anyway.

Tonight On KBTX
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN—When Preston Smith
becomes governor Jan. 21, it will
be to the tune of marching bands
and at least five dance orches
tras. Smith has revealed plans
for a gala inauguration remini
scent of the 1950’s.
A big Congress Avenue parade
will follow his swearing-in at
noon that day, and after a brief
rest Governor and Mrs. Smith
will lead off the dancing at a
grand ball. They’ll be honored
with at least four other balls
during the evening.
Last time the Capital witnessed
such a celebration was when
Price Daniel took office in 1957.
Then more than 20,000 well-wish
ers danced ’til dawn. But inaugu
rations have been rather sedate
since then. Governor Smith said
he’d reveal more details of his
inauguration in a couple of weeks.
SMITH PREPARES FOR OF
FICE—Gov.-Elect Preston Smith
says Harold K. Dudley will be kis
top assistant and that he will beef
up the Texas governor’s staff
dealing with federal programs.
Dudley, 44, Smith’s chief cam
paign organizer, was manager of
the Wichita Falls Chamber of
Commerce.
Smith said he “will have to
have some additional” staff mem
bers to work with rapidly - ex-*
panding federal - state relations
issues. He revealed that Wayne
Gibbens of Breckenridge, who is
Governor Connally’s Washington
liaison man, can stay on if he
wants to (as can several other
middle-echelon Connally aides),
but that the Washington office
must be expanded to-do an ef
fective job.
Sen. Dorsey Hardeman of San
Angelo may also be tapped for
government duties in the new
administration, Smith indicated—
though probably not as secretary
of state. He is considering “three
or four” for that post.
Smith pledged to continue his
“open door” policy as governor
and to hold regular weekly news
conferences.
COCKTAIL CLUBS—Proposed
new rules for drinking clubs were
shelled in public hearing by 11
bistro operators who urged dif
ferent categories of regulations
for a wide variety of establish
ments catering to the cocktail
trade.
Texas Liquor Control Board
took the issue under advisement
and will, hand) down its- ruling
at an early date. Meanwhile, its
proposed requirement that pay
ment for mixed drinks be made
in cash and strict definition of
club “guests” remains under court
attack.
Witnesses at the hearing in the
state capitol made these principal
suggestions:
• That rules be geared to types
of operators in 1,335 clubs over
Bulletin Board
military personnel for the filling
of high administrative posts on
this campus with as much skep
ticism as anyone. But I believe
that one of them is really doing
his job. That one is Colonel Dol
lar of Food Services. If you dis
agree, and the food disagrees
even further, go to the Menu
Committee meetings held the first
Thursday of each month. You get
a shot at the menu for the next
five weeks and can suggest
changes in the dining hall pro
cedures forever. His claim is that
he will do anything not illegal,
not immoral, and not already paid
for by you. And he will.
FOR MONEY problems see
Colonel Logan. If you are kind
of gross, you had better clean up
first. I never did like that sign
outside his door about how I
ought to come on, but I sure do
like his money.
Now if you have a cause worthy
of a real crusade, go to the Batt.
Those guys are hungry for a real
issue since Merry Clark, the girl
editor whose personality effer
vesces through the Daily Texan
like carbonated mud, was men
tioned in Time magazine for her
muckraking. Besides that, it will
look good on your job resume to
have fought for reform. It will
look even better if you lose.
LAST OF all you might try
your student government. Quixote
was probably a Graduate Student
Council president somewhere. The
title “senator” boggles the minds
of some members of that group
of students, but they do take it
seriously and they are very seri
ous about leaving A&M a little
better place than they found it.
Many of these guys know quite a
bit about battles already fought
and lost and where the hatchet is
buried. They also know ropes,
attitudes of various officials, and
maybe even the odds of getting
something through the adminis
tration to reality. Maybe you
should be the one who knows these
things by becoming part of stu
dent government.

• That record-keeping require
ments be kept as simple as pos
sible.
• That they be punished only
for “knowing” violations.
“There are obviously several
kinds of private clubs, all trying
to operate under one broad defi
nition. Comprehensive regulations
might include clear-cut definitions
of the various kinds or classes
of clubs. This would, of course,
involve a classification system”
testified Royce Chaney of Dallas,
representing the Texas Lone Star
Chapter Club Managers Associa
tion of America.
Other club operators suggested
separation on lines of non-profit
and strictly - business clubs — or
those which have relatively static
membership and the rapid-turn
over clubs such as those in motels
and hotels.
“No matter what regulations
are adopted,” maintained the pres
ident of a large San Antonio
club,” there will be confusion un
der present laws.” He suggested
liquor-by-the-drink legalization is
the only answer. A new push for
that (probably via constitutional
amendment) is expected to be
made in the next legislative ses
sion which starts next month.

A shaver that gives
almost twice the shaves
percharge
is worth some study.
Our Rechargeable 45CT (below) gives
you 3 weeks of close shaves on a single charge.
(Which is nearly twice as much as any other
rechargeable.)
And it gives you the choice of using the
cord, or not.
It also has a lot of things in common
with our new Tripleheader Speedshaver® 35T.
Both shavers have 18 rotary blades set
in three new ‘floating’ Microgroove™ heads,
that follow the contours of your face.
And they both shave you as close or
closer than a blade in 2 out of 3 shaves. (As
tested in an independent lab by some very in
dependent men.)
They also have
some extras that make
shaving a lot easier. A
separate pop-up trim
mer, snap-open clean
ing, a handy on/off
switch, and a 110/220
voltage selector for
travel use.
Whichever you
choose, you can’t get
a closer shave.
