LISTEN UP I
the bait forum ■—J
Editor,
The Battalion:
To the Class of 1971:
Thursday, March 27, 1969, you
will vote your preference in the
run-off election for the Secretary-
Treasurer of your class. You will
vote for an Aggie who will keep
accurate records of all meetings
and who will be responsible for
the money handled through your
class. Your vote will be for a man
who wants to work for you and
to see to it that the Class of 1971
is represented by a concerned
civilian — one who is and wants
to be in touch with all Aggies in
your class. Bobby (“Bob”) Chris
tie is the one who will represent
you and do it well. He is typical
of the fine spirit and leadership
necessary to keep your class
moving.
I earnestly urge and solicit your
vote of preference for Bob in
Thursday’s run-off. And please
remember, Class of 1971: if you
do not get out and vote—that is,
if you show your lack of interest
—and another man wins, you can
have no grounds to complain and
spread ill-feeling because you
would not vote. The post in ques
tion may be small, but an Aggie
is involved, and you should know
—you must show—that you desire
a voice, representation if you will,
in your class.
Editor,
The Battalion:
Evidently Daphne Magee does
not believe in loyalty to one’s
country (i.e., unless her loyalty
lies elsewhere). In her letter Fri
day, she labeled General Scott as
an “extremist” because he be
lieves in being patriotic and in
supporting our fightng men in
Vietnam. Note that I did not say
that he is for or against the war,
but he just happens to believe
that our soldiers need the moral
support of their fellow Americans
whether the Southeast Asia “po
lice action” is justifiable or not.
This is largely what his speech
last night touched on.
In reference to her accusation
that the Texas A&M University
administration approved and sup
ported the Scott speech, she
should know what she is talking
about before she opens her mouth
(or her pen, whatever the case).
General Scott was not allowed to
speak on campus because of the
same ruling that keeps true left
and right-wingers, as well as
middle-of-the-roaders, off without
university sanction through the
Great Issues Committee.
Groups can publicize their off-
campus events at locations in
such places as the Academic
Building and Nagle Hall. Both
the Young Democrats and the
Young Republicans, as well as the
SDS, have used college buildings
to advertise their meetings. The
administration did not back these
off-campus meetings, either. Or
does Daphne Magee think so?

Editor,
The Battalion:
Freshmen:
The Class of ’72 is the best
Freshman Class in the history of
Texas A&M. It is by far the
largest, most intelligent, and
most interesting group of stu
dents on this campus. We in the
Unity Party know this and are
determined to keep it that way.
But we need your help.
There is a serious gap of under
standing between the Corps and
the civilians here. A&M will
probably never be hit by demon
strations or riots, but it can be
hurt considerably by this internal
“war” if something is not done.
The Unity Party feels that it has
at least a partial answer to the
problem, and certainly the most
effective one to date. You have
probably noticed that the Class
of ’72 has a much better feeling
between its Corps and civilian
students than exists in the other
classes. We intend to preserve
and deepen this understanding.
The whole purpose of our party
never was and never will be to
gain political power, nor was it
designed to singlehandedly run
the Class of ’72. The Unity Party
was originated simply to keep our
Class from ever losing the spirit
of cooperation that exists between
the two groups.
We know that there are many
sharp students on this campus

whose potential leadership is be
ing wasted. But there are only
so many positions available, and
we try to fill them with the most
capable and most experienced
leaders we can find. We had two
reasons for forming a party,
rather than running independent
ly. First, all of the Aggies in our
Party agree on the need for unity
in our Class. Second, we felt that
by organizing these students as a
group, rather than as a slate of
separate individuals with differ
ent ideas, we could accomplish a
lot more for our Class. We be
lieve a look at our record this
year will show that we have done
this.
We intend to continue to make
progress, with your support. This
Thursday, vote—not as a “Corps
member,” nor as a “civilian,” but
as an Aggie.
VOTE UNITY!
