THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Friday, March 28, 1969
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earte Bulletin Board
A Modest Proposal
With pre-registration for the fall semester less than five
weeks away, and with several changes having been proposed
for the automated registration system, the ad hoc study
group (see story, page 1) seems to have its work cut out for
it. We don’t want to cloud the issue, but we feel the
following suggestions are in the best interest of effective
results:
• Communications among the members must be im
proved. An apparent misunderstanding between Student
Senator A1 Reinert (originally named chairman of the group)
and representatives of President Rudder’s office, who orga
nized the first committee meeting, resulted in a temporary
hiatus of designated leadership.
• Student members of the committee should be a more
vocal group of representatives. The aforementioned hiatus
was filled by the committee after Reinert’s stand-in, as well
as the other students on the committee, failed to suggest that
another student should be named to the chairmanship in
keeping with President Rudder’s original appointment of
Reinert.
• The committee did not specifically state whether the
new chairman was being elected for the interim or as
permanent head. Although the practical distinction may
prove inconsequential in the long run, we feel that the
committee should consider the symbolic importance of
having a student to lead a group which is considering a topic
•of such concern to students.

An ice-cream parlor at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma advertises
dorm delivery. Hope they have
better luck than the local pizza
joints at getting the order there
quickly—a lukewarm pizza, may
be, but a lukewarm banana split?
Yecch.
An OU wrestling star with an
impressive 66-1 record and three
state championships has a unique
style. Says the Oklahoma Daily,
he “flops about the mat like a
freshly-netted rainbow trout, con
trolling his opponent from under
neath.” The Sooner grappler, who
has scored more reversals than
anyone else in the business, says
“My style really makes me dizzy
" when I get going round and
round. I have to get my bearings
from the ceiling lights. Sorta
like navigating by the stars.”

in the footsteps of other respected
crusading student activists. That
is, they plan to destroy ETSU. All
of this sounds relatively logical
when compared to other student
demands being expressed across
the nation, with one exception.
Hat racks ? What respectable
Cowboy takes his hat off in
class ?

East Texas State, too, has
ii finally become enmeshed in that
l nationwide humanitarian struggle
against bigotry. Realizing the
heinous inequities which face one
of the most downtrodden minori
ties on the metropolitan ETSU
campus, representatives from the
NAACP — the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Cow
boy Power — have made the fol
lowing demands:
1. More Cowboy courses
taught at ET by Cowboy teach
ers and a board to investigate
the possibility of a degree in
Cowboy Culture.
2. Cowboy food to be served
in the cafsiaria.
3. A horse stall for every
dormitory.
4. Immediate dismissal of
the president—to be replaced
by Hank Thompson.
5. Hat racks in every class
room.
If immediate satisfaction of
each demand is not obtained im
mediately, this minority group,
in that revered American Col
legiate Tradition, plans to follow
This week’s Everyone’s-Got-His-
Own-Bag Award goes to two in
structors and four students at the
U of H. One morning last week,
they decided to pool all their
money, which came to $217, and
buy food and stuff for people,
“just for the hell of it.” About
noon, they entered an automated
cafeteria and began to offer their
money to the people. Most people
would not accept the money (ob
viously, no Batt columnists were
on the scene), so the six “super
heroes” began buying food with
the money. Said one, “We bought
the food and laid it around on
chairs, tables, on the floor.”
To make a long story short,
upon exit they were promptly
accosted by the law and spread-
eagled against a car while a
crowd of around 200 gathered to
watch. Then they were “placed
in a cell with a drunken elephant
trainer” and booked “for tres
passing and disturbing the peace.”
When asked what they would
do when they got out, the replies
were thoughtful. “Well, I think
I’ll buy a nice house and settle
down somewhere. I’m going to
go straight,” one offered. An
other answered, “I’ve learned my
lesson. As soon as I’ve paid my
debt to society, I plan to be a
good, solid citizen.”

SMU has two deejays at their
radio station, KSMU, who intend
to stay on the air around the
clock for 60 hours. If successful,
they will have beat the record
of 50 hours set by “Uncle Bob”
and “Captain Brucie” in 1966.
Editor,
The Battalion:
A recent article in The Bat
talion regarding a Student Com
mittee and their desires or goals
that included lower entrance re
quirements has brought to mind
the saying of the Great Eman
cipator, Abraham Lincoln.
“You cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the strong;
you cannot help small men by
tearing down big men; you can
not build character and courage
by taking man’s initiative and
independence; you cannot help
permanently by doing for them
what they should and could do
for themselves.”
These words are just as true
today as they were over one
hundred years ago. They apply
to all races, not to just one or
two.
In my opinion the future of
Texas A&M University will de
pend on the ability of its leaders,
to:
compete on equal terms with
other graduates across the na
tion.
• Maintain and increase the
numebr of students returned
each year to a higher classifi
cation by hiring professors and
instructors with the ability to
teach.
• Continue to add to the cur
riculum as the need arises. Keep
abreast or ahead of the business
world to provide the profession
als that will be required.
• Continue its well-rounded
athletic programs to include
high scholastics as well as ath
letic ability. The playing days
of most athletes end with their
senior year in college. A very
small number take it to the pro
teams so the athlete needs busi
ness - professional preparation,
too.
The above cannot be done by
lowering the standards that have
taken years to build.
