Why Limit Resolution
To One ‘Chaotic’ Group?
‘If a guy felt that he might get too sick to attend £lass
before the holidays, how many days of this illness would
sound about right?”
The resolution passed by the
Civilian Student Council Thurs
day recommending that any or
ganization (such as the Students
for a Democratic Society) which
has a reputation for “violent and
chaotic” activity be barred from
Texas A&M is one of the most
farsighted actions ever taken on
this campus.
The possibilities, if this reso
lution is adopted by the admin
istration, are so far reaching as
to break the bonds of traditional
thought.
Not only would such a policy
keep SDS and other such organ
ization off campus, but it could
be used to get rid of many of
the organizations presently on
campus which have a violent and
chaotic reputation.
UNDER THIS resolution, the
first group that would have to
go is the Corps of Cadets. The
Corps is a direct arm of the mili
tary and the military's business
is to fight wars. Now, it is im
possible to think of anything
more violent or chaotic than a
truely humane effort to end vio
lence and chaos.
The second most violent and
chaotic activity on campus is
football. Seeing supposedly edu
cated men rushing madly around
on the grass, knocking hell out
of each other, is more than a
hater of violence and chaos can
stomach. The resolution could be
used to disband the football team
in preference to a checker or
canasta team.
dent Senate (there have been
many heated and disorganized
discussions at its meetings), the
American Association of Uni
versity Professors (everyone
knows that professors are vio
lent and chaotic), and the ad
ministration (which was a focal
point for a student demonstra
tion about two years ago).
ON THE OTHER hand, con
sidering the past few months,
maybe this organization could
be exempted.
One of the weak points in the
resolution is its failure to speci
fy whether certain organizations
should be exempted if their vio
lence and chaos has as an ob
ject animals, rather than people
or property. However, it is
probably better to leave the reso
lution vague so that it can be
all-inclusive.

Lhhhb the hatt fonint
war.
Unfortunately, considering the
political power weilded by the
Corps on campus, there is the
possibility that the civilian reso
lution will not be accepted. It
is likely that the Corps will see
the resolution as some kind of
conspiracy, rather than as a
Thereby the College of Vet
erinary Medicine could be includ
ed. It is well known that mad
men in white suits have been
loosed on this campus to cut and
probe and generally do violence
to animals. This practice should
be stopped and the tool to do the
job has now been created.
OTHER organizations which
should be eliminated are the Stu-

The Battalion:
I read with shock the article
in the Dec. 3 issue of The Bat
talion concerning the planned
formation of an SDS chapter at
Texas A&M. I submit that the
danger of socialist radicalism
has finally come upon our cam
pus. I am not against the organ
ization of the chapter, for each
person has a right to his belief
or disbelief as guaranteed in the
Constitution. I do, however, sub
mit that now is the time for
Aggies to let these people know
exactly how far their right to
protest extends and when such
protest becomes neither right
nor lawful. I submit further that
Aggies not be misled by the
proposed objectives of this or
ganization, as I have personal
experience with the SDS and
have come to regard all of their
objectives with distrust. I fur
ther submit that any student who
wishes to join an organization
with the “power” that Mr. Foye
so badly desires, but with the
responsibility that should go
with such power, contact me in
Dorm 21, room 213, concerning
the formation of a chapter of
the Young Americans for Free
dom. This organization has
been personally endorsed by FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover, Gov
ernor Ronald Reagan of Cali
fornia, Barry Goldwater, Texas
Senator John Tower, and several
prominent conservative states
men.
We will then hope to proceed
with formation of a Y.A.F. chap
ter in the belief that all who
desire responsible action in the
statement of student goals to the
administration, but do not care
for the devious and dubious
methods which have previously
been displayed by the SDS
across the nation, will seriously
consider joining us.
Respectfully yours,
Charles Jones

UNITY PARTY
(Continued From Page 1)
The council meets for the first
time in the Memorial Student
Center Tuesday at 7:30 p. m.
The major goal of the council
is to “unify the campus,” Brown
noted.
It was formed to help students
with their problems and plan ac
tivities for the freshmen class.”
“Freshmen are needed to work
on the different committees to
plan a Fish Weekend Feb. 23-24,
which will take the place of the
scheduled fish dance the same
weekend,” Brown said.
Planned activities include an in
formal dance Friday night, a
steak-fry Saturday afternoon, and
a formal dance that night, Brown
noted.

Someone must have heard the
Aggie moans about the barbaric
ruthlessness of that masochistic
A&M hangup, the Blind Date.
The editors of Princeton Univer
sity’s student newspaper have
published a book containing brief
biographies and snapshops of
1,500 coeds at eight exclusive
women’s colleges. The book is
priced at $2 and has as its ulti
mate purpose ‘to spell the de
mise, the defeat, the absolute
abolition of that atrocious an
achronism, the blind date.’

The University of Minnesota—
the place where a University
Police squad car was blown up
last week — has had many stu
dent objections to recommenda
tions to increase the police force.
The statistics, however, show
that the present force has at
least been busy at something.
During 1967, the Minnesota KK’s
handled 82 assaults, 343 auto
vandalism and theft cases, 66 sex
offenses, and 11 armed robberies.
