Editor:
Congratulations to Roger Mil
ler on his article “Breaking the
Sex Barrier” and to The Battalion
for printing it. I know numerous
students who have been thinking
this, but quite frankly was sur
prised to see the viewpoint ex
pressed in The Battalion.
Challenge to the administra
tion: make University housing
(on and/or off-campus facilities)
available to single women for
several semesters and then see
if there are “no requests.”
Hopefully the University is not
deliberately waiting for an un
fortunate incident and/or law
suits brought by women before
they decided to grant women their
“equal” rights which are sup
posedly granted to all citizens
by the Constitution.
Everyone brace yourself for the
rash of justifications and ration
alizations which will probably fol
low Miller’s article. Monkey see,
monkey do.

Editor:
I would like to offer my con
dolences to Mr. Bouchard for his
picture not making ‘The Review’.
If he doesn’t spend so much time
trying to sever Corps-civilian re
lations with his letter writing,
he might make the next issue.
I’ll be the first to admit that
some Civilians (Aggies) worked
hard on the bonfire. But if the
mere fact that their pictures
didn’t get into ‘The Review’ up
sets Mr. Bouchard to the extent
that he says, “the last slap in the
face the civilians will take quiet
ly .. . recognition that they have
earned and that their numbers
demand . . . civilians worked be
cause they wanted to — not be
cause they were forced to as in
the case of our . . . brothers . . .
the corps helped the civilians
build it . . . and the near future
SUNDAY
Alpha Phi Omega will meet at
7:30, Birch Room, MSC, for
pledge initiation.
MONDAY
Dairy Science Club will meet
at 7: §0 to have a picture made
for th'e'Aggieland. Dress is coat
and tie. A barbecue dinner and
guest speaker will follow at 8.
A&M Young Republicans will
meet at 8 p.m. in the Coffee Loft
at North Gate. Drew Stascia, can
didate for Republican National
Committeeman, will speak.
TUESDAY
Society of Automotive Engi
neers will meet at 7 p.m. in the
the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Bonfire
will be nothing more than a pack
ing crate pile . . . ,” then he needs
to go home and grow up a little.
Mr. Bouchard, you earn recog
nition but you don’t demand it
because of your numbers. You
seem to think you speak for all
81.1 per cent of the student body,
which I doubt seriously. You may
be bruised from your last slap
in the face, but you won’t find
any bruised shoulders in the Corps
from people having their arms
twisted to work on bonfire. I
also wouldn’t consider it in my
favor to be called your “brother.”
And as far as the bonfires in the
near future, why don’t you stay
at home and write letters next
year and let’s see if we have
packing crates or an Aggie Bon
fire built because of what it
stands for, NOT to see who can
do the most work, or get their
picture taken. I’ll say it again—
Grow up, you’re a big boy now.
John Otto, ’70
P.S. You might have a reason
to be offended because there were
no pictures of civilians, but for
your information, the Corps of
Cadets did not take the pictures
or write the article, so the next
time you decide to pop off, ad
dress it to the individual re
sponsible.
Editor’s Note: For lack of space
we cannot print four more re
plies to Bouchard’s letter.

Editor:
To Mr. J. I. Muhl, Jr. ’66:
You expressed several opinions
which were well founded in 1966,
but not in 1970. The times have
changed greatly in the past four
years. There are several points
you mentioned which deserve a
reply to:
1) You spoke of the bald head
as being a military haircut. The
bald head haircut is no longer
used in the military. The corps
Social Room, MSC. Picture for
the Aggieland will be made.
Mechanical Engineering Stu
dent Wives Club will meet at 7:30
in the Blue Room of the Lone
Star Gas Company. A party food
demonstration will be given.
WEDNESDAY
Student Chapter of Associated
General Contractors will hear a
Flexicore Company representa
tive speak at 7:30 p.m. in Room
110 Architecture.
THURSDAY
Student Psychological Associa
tion will meet at 7:15 on the front
steps of the MSC. Club picture
will be made.
still has more conservative rules
on sideburns and mustaches than
the military.
2) You say a bald head would
not keep people from coming to
A&M because of our excellent
academic standards, educational
prestige and so on. It doesn't keep
them from coming to A&M, but
they live in the Sbisa area and
not the Duncan area.
3) You say the vast majority
of civilians were originally in the
corps. When I came to A&M in
Sept, of ’66, this was true, but
this does not exist today. In ’66,
when you were in the corps, the
corps had recently gone non-
compulsory, so those civilians on
campus today are those who were
never subject to compulsory
corps; many never joined the
corps and the majority of those
who left the corps left because
they were not interested in the
corps values, those values includ
ing whipping out. Having spent
four years on campus I have seen
a marked change in civilians;
most civilians don’t know what
to do when a fish comes up and
whips out.
4) You say we should turn in
our uniforms and hit Highway 6
because it runs both ways. Such
narrow-minded reasoning as this
is one of the reasons the corps
isn’t as large as it once was;
this form of reasoning is one of
the causes the present actions
were forced into existence.
5) You say we should let the
corps die a noble death and so on.
The Corps and A&M never taught
me quitting was noble. One of our
oldest traditions is not quitting
when things don’t look too good.
There is a rather corny expres
sion, “when the going gets tough,
the Tough get going,” and it is
time some of us got going; noth
ing was ever accomplished by
quitting.
You can cut down Maj. Solymo-
sy and Matt Carroll for the ac
tions taken but the problems
which forced these actions were
formed many years ago; these
people are just the ones trying
to solve the problems; they don’t
believe in quitting.

Nova’s got a lot to talk about.
Because you get so much more value
with a Nova. Things you just can’t find
on other cars anywhere near the price.
Maybe that’s why Nova is such a big
seller. It offers what more people want.
Along with a resale value that’ll make
some of those other cars seem even
smaller by comparison.
Putting you first, keeps us first.
