CADET SLOUCH

“I can’t understand why th’ computer gave me all 5 o’clock
classes! I wonder if it turned on me because I mutilated
my punch card?”
By MONTY STANLEY
The University of Minnesota’s
Daily believes in giving credit
where it is due. Hence their final
coverage of the 1968 intramural
football season included a rating
of the 10 worst teams out of the
275 competing groups. Of the 10
teams in this “Class E calibre,”
all failed to win a game, and
eight had the distinction of going
scoreless for the entire season.
The worst team, a group of
“Kappa Sigma flunkies” called
the JB’s, were outscored 223 to 0
in compiling an 0-5 record. Said
one official, “They lost one game
86 to 0, and never crossed their
own 20-yard line on offense.” The
team captain, though had a heart
rending alibi with which you
really have to sympathize: “We
only had a full team on the field
in one game. Besides, they kept
kicking onside kicks to us, and
our quarterback has never played
football before.”
From the Minnesota’s paper
personal section comes this pro
found reflection: “If Prof. Car-
dozo’s first name was Bozo, his
name would be Bozo Cardozo!
Denny.”
In a more serious vein, students
and faculty members at Minne
sota are joining a cause rapidly
becoming more and more preva
lent in campus crusades in par
ticipating in a 3-day fast for
starving Biafran-Nigerian people.
Facuity Senate Idea
Needs New Chance
At tu, a fellow was perform
ing a chemistry experiment under
the hood. When he stepped away
for a moment, he blew up part of
his lab. When asked by newsmen
for some biographical information
he started with, “Well, I was a
graduate student in chemistry.”
Last nig-ht’s Student Senate meeting indicated an even
busier semester ahead than we envisioned Tuesday. The
most intriguing and momentarily important issue of the
many brought up was something of a surprise: the push
for a Faculty Senate.
Vice-President David Maddox probably best sized up
the problem with last semester’s inefficient attempt to
gauge the faculty’s feeling toward setting up a representa
tive body to protect its interests (such as exists on most
other campuses of this size). He remarked to the Senators
that so little advance notice and publicity was given to the
questionnaire poll that many faculty members—including
his father—voted against the idea without fully realizing
its significance. His plan to publicize the proposal and his
resolution asking additional consideration by the Academic
Council make the future seem a bit brighter for student-
faculty relations at A&M.
“If any of you have ever tried to work with the faculty,
you’re probably aware of the academic aristocracy that
exists among professors with tenure,” Sen. A1 Reinert added
in support of the resolution. “It’s hard to get anything done,
even with a majority of the faculty members in favor.”
Other encouraging shapes of things to come:
• Sen. Collier Watson’s University Regulations Revi
sion Sub-Committee is “about half-way through” a proposed
new edition of the Blue book to govern A&M “the way it
• The planned creation of several sub - committees,
headed by Senators but composed of non-Senators who are
interested in the situation being investigated—an attempt,
according to Sen. Wayne Gosnell, to “cut the communica
tions gap through student involvement.”
• And Reinert’s well-researched examination of com
puter registration, along with plans for major revampings
that should reduce student dissatisfaction with the system.
Hopefully, President Bill Carter accurately stated the
Senate’s position last night in reporting that it established
itself as an effective force last semester—and that it will
now “concentrate on action.”
This doesn’t have much to do
with campus news—nothing at all,
as a matter of fact, except that
it’s a UPI story found in a cam
pus newspaper. Anyway, its dif
ferent. In a gravel pit outside a
town in San Bemadino County,
California the headless bodies of
three large, black-maned African
lions were found. One was 10 feet
long from head to tail. The au
thorities, incidentally, do not
plan to investigate, saying, “We
don’t have anything in our code
book covering African lions.”
Everywhere you turn, African-
American discrimination.

The University of Oklahoma
introduced onto its campus a
tramway service, thinking it had
solved the students’ between-class
transportation problem. In actu
ality, it triggered the latest col
legiate sporting event since waxer
riding. The object of the compe
tition is “to figure out where the
trams are going and when.”
The Oklahoma Daily set up its
scoring system life this: (two
points for seeing a tram. Five
points for getting on one. Seven
points for staying warm enough
to think while riding. And 25
points if a student should get to
class.
By coincidence, TWU also car

umn now. And by coincidence
also, they carried the story about
dogs' civil rights at Santa Barbara
City College (remember, faithful
regulars?). And by some miracu
lous coincidence, they somehow
misquoted the Santa Barbara
paper in the same way that this
column did. Isn’t that a coin

weekly meetings in the Student
Senate office.
Perhaps some things are best
forgotten, but one thing’s for
dam sure about the game last
Tuesday in Waco. The paper cups
and ice bouncing on the court dur
ing the game weren’t thrown by
Ags. It would have taken Willie
Mays himself to reach the court
from where we were. Seriously,
though, Waco is the only place in
Texas with a building that can
handle simultaneously a basket
ball game, a Formula I road race,
and a three-ring circus—and still
offer no good seats for any of
the spectators. Well, perhaps
that’s too harsh. After all, it’s
only a rumor that the coliseum
will be converted into an indoor
football field in September.
Another resolution introduced
by Senator Wayne Gosnell con
cerning the sale of “sweetheart”
rings that resemble the Aggie
Senior Ring. The action called
for immediate changes in the de
sign of the smaller ring that is
popular with Aggie seniors as
gifts for wives or girl friends.
The Senate passed the resolution
by a large majority.
STUDENT SENATE President
Bill Carter reported that commit
tee work this semester will large
ly be done by subcommittees com
posed both of student senators
and members of the student body
at large. He said he hopes this
will help the students become
more involved in student govern
ment.
Senator Collier Watson report
ed on progress of a subcommittee
currently reviewing and revising
the University Regulations.
Eleven by-laws were presented
for Senate consideration and were
tabled until the next scheduled
meeting Feb. 20 to allow Senators
time to study the proposals.
