Editor,
The Battalion:
The large poster on display last
Thursday and Friday in front of
Sbisa Dining Hall evidently gen
erated mixed emotions among
those who saw it. By Friday, the
glass of the locked display case
had been smashed. Obviously,
someone didn’t like it. Later, an
other viewer had a different opin
ion—so he “borrowed” the poster.
The poster itself wasn’t really
bad enough to start smashing the
display case (donated by the class
of ’57), nor was it good enough
to risk slicing one’s hand while
stealing it. It was 60” long by
26” high and looked roughly like
a theater ticket. On the left side
of the ticket were four “Hombres”
painted in brown and black, while
the right side gave information
about the dance that the poster
was advertising. The poster was
last week’s assignment in a 3rd
year Architecture Graphics class,
and in an effort to publicize the
dance, was displayed before the
professor could see or grade it.
That’s why I’m writing this.
The poster (i.e. last week’s
grade and a vital page in a port
folio) belongs to me and I’d like
to recover it. If anyone has any
information that might help me,
please call 845-2870 or go by
Dorm 22, Room 117. I’ll ask no
questions.

I am a candidate for Yell Lead
er from the Class of ’70. I con
sider the position of Aggie Yell
Leader an honor second to none
on this campus. An honor that
should be granted to someone
who can motivate and stimulate
fellow Aggies and most impor
tant, someone who exemplifies the
spirit that is Texas A&M. I sin
cerely feel that I meet these
requirements and would admire
the opportunity to represent you
and Texas A&M as senior Yell
Leader, Class of ’70.

This letter is addressed to the
Class of ’71 but should be read
by every Aggie who cares about
A&M. I am a candidate for Junior
Yell Leader; my name is Steve
Womack. I am a civilian but I
support A&M aboVe all else, as
every Aggie should. I support the
Corps of Cadets as the foundation
of Aggie Spirit, but I believe the
Civilian Student Body should sup
port A&M just as wholeheartedly.
To gain this support we must
have a civilian Yell Leader, and
I believe that I can best provide
that leadership. I am, therefore,
asking for support in the upcom
ing class elections. I ask each
member of the Class of ’71 to
make A&M number one, and to
make ’71 the most gung-ho class
on the campus. Vote Steve
Womack, Yell Leader.

Election day is fast approach
ing and once again our thoughts
turn to the future. We feel that
the future of A&M as a great
institution depends on one very
important concept, Unity. For the
past several years, ever since
civilian students were allowed
entrance to this university, there
has been a silent “war” on our
campus. The time has come for
this conflict to end. The civilians
and Corps members must realize
that, regardless of whether or
not we wear uniforms, we are
all Aggies.
Last fall, a group of interested
freshmen, civilians and Corps,
took a large step toward this
goal by forming the Unity Party.
Freshmen elections were held,
and by an overwhelming majority,
the Class of ’72 elected the Unity
Party candidates. Since then the
results have been gratifying.
These freshmen, following the
goal of unity in the Freshman
Class, have worked together this
year to make the Class of ’72 the
best ever. They organized and
supervised preparation for the
only complete Fish Weekend ever
held. It was a truly outstanding
success and earned over $1,000
for the Freshman treasury. They
made significant decisions in the

Editor,
The Battalion:
Members of the Class of ’72:
The elections for class officers
will be held Thursday, March 20.
My name is John Sharp. I’m a
candidate for President of the
Class of “72”, from Victoria,
Texas.
Our class is off to a fine start,
but let’s make it even greater.
After talking to many of you, I
have learned your main objections
and desires. As president of your
class, I can assure you that your
desires will be fulfilled and your
objections eliminated, to the best
of my ability. I want to work for
you! I will greatly appreciate
your support.
Most of all however, I can’t
impress upon you too much the
importance of voting, and run
ning our school the way we want
Thank you!

Editor,
The Battalion:
In all the excitement of" cam
paigning for class offices, one
position is too often overlooked
and neglected on the part of the
students. This is the position of
MSC Council representative. Too
few students know what the MSC
Council is and what it really does.
Too few students know that the
MSC Council sets policy for the
Memorial Student Center; too few
know that it controls budgets,
speakers lists, and several hun
dred thousand dollars worth of
student activity fees’ money.
Of the five sophomores who
have filed for this office, I feel
that I am the best qualified to
serve as Class of ’71 representa
tive on the MSC Council. I have
served two full years as an active
member of the MSC Directorate
program on nearly every level of
activity. I believe that my ex
perience with the MSC program
has made me extremely aware of
the problems which will face the
Council in the coming year. I
believe that the Council must
make a more determined effort
to keep the students informed of
how their money is being spent.
I urge the Class of ’71 to vote
for experience in the MSC elec
tion—vote for FITZHUGH for
MSC Representative.
