THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle
ON OTHER CAMPUSES
By Mike McClain
You may have noticed that this
column has come under new man
agement. To dispell any fears, let
me assure you that it will be the
same old garbage with a new
trashman.
He Who Steals My Underwear
Steals Trash: The studious at
mosphere at Southwest Texas
State U. was shattered recently
when the male students decided
to stage a panty raid on a nearby
girls dorm. The girls were game
(!), and obligingly showered the
men below their windows with all
manner of lacy goodies. Of course,
the K.K.'s “seen their duty and
done it” by chasing the boys
away. After all, the boys were
being naughty, and besides, the
K.K.’s had never seen panties up
close before. The panty-pilferers
were repulsed, only to turn and
raid another dorm. Again the
underwear-usurpers were greeted
by a shower of white wispies, and
again they were charged by the
K.K.’s. After several more raids
the K.K.’s restored some sem
blance of peace and announced
that all was well in hand, which
must have meant that all the
panties were gone so everybody
went home. This seems like a good
place to suggest that you write
your student senator and demand
that girls’ dorms be built here.
The Cost of Living Is Killing
Me: The student government at
Oklahoma U. is considering a sug
gestion to found a “student gro
cery” which will sell food and
other necessities to students only.
The idea is to give the students
a saving of 19 to 12 per cent be
low the usual neighborhood cost
of living. This is an excellent idea,
as my expiring checking account
will readily agree. Unfortunately,
the local natives around Bryan-
College Station seem to like to
play a game called “get the col
lege student,” and consequently
prices seem to run about 10 per
cent higher than anywhere else
in the world.
die. How does the “Chocolate
Meadow Muffin” sound? In the
not-too-likely event that we were
to become traditional rivals with
the “Banana Zeplin,” we would
probably be compelled to change
our fight song to “ . . . saw
varsity’s bananas off.” Perhaps
we had better start a giant letter
writing campaign, before every
one starts telling “Meadow Muf
fin” jokes.
A Football Team by Any Other
Name Would Smell as Sweet:
Remember when all the school
football teams had regular names,
such as the Rice “Owls,” the
Baylor “Bears,” and the t. u.
“cows” ? Well, that’s all over,
sports fans. Loop College in Chi
cago is adopting a team with the
unlikely name of the “Banana
Zeplin.” Now, this is just the
type of fad that will take Mother
America by storm, and eventually
even the “Aggies” might be
dropped for a more modern han-
The Great Snowball Conspir
acy: So you thought all of the
campus dissent was over with.
At St. Joseph’s College in Rens
selaer, Ind., the students recently
had a mass snowball fight, which
resulted in many broken windows,
many numb fingers, and very
little studying. The school ad
ministration evidently got a snow
ball in its pride, because they
decided to put the kibosh to a
liberalized drinking law they had
been planning for the students.
Their reasoning was that the
students had proven themselves
too immature to handle such an
adult pastime as drinking. We
presume this means that, unlike
us lucky Ags, those guys won’t
get to drink beer on campus; i.e.,
root, apple, and the ever popular
ginger. By the way, what the hell
is snow ?
Editor:
After reading the letter to
“Listen Up” by the freshman
president Bill Darkoch, I am
compelled to believe that he does
not know the true reason for the
bad attendance at last Tuesday’s
council meeting. He used the
statement “the representatives
do not care about their class,”
for the reason why many rep
resentatives did not show up
whereas the actual reason is a
lack of communication in the
council itself. I wish to relate
this fact by telling of my own
experiences with the council.
was really supposed to be the
next night. Tuesday, a message
was posted in the library that
the meeting would be held at
10:00 that night but it was actu
ally held at 8:00.
I believe that this is sufficient
information to show the reason
for poor attendance to the coun
cil meeting was indeed a lack
of communication and not a dis
interest in the freshman class
by its representatives.
Joe Waltz
Freshman representative
Squadron 14
The first meeting of the coun
cil was held on Jan. 12, 1970 but
my squadron was not notified to
elect a representative until Jan.
14. I was elected my squadron
representative so I called Mr.
Darkoch to notify of this and
he assured me that I would be
notified of the next meeting.
Another meeting was held the
week after the semester break
but I did not find out about it
until the day after it was held.
On Sunday, Feb. 15, I was called
and notified that there would be
a meeting the next night. This
call was reconfirmed by an an
nouncement in Duncan Dining
Hall on Monday night. I showed
up, with quite a few others, to the
meeting on Monday night and
found out, after waiting around
for 45 minutes, that the meeting
Editor:
As a civilian student at Texas
A&M University I feel that it is a
personal insult to myself and my
fellow “Aggies” that the editors
of the Battalion, the Review and
other student publications contin
ue to make a mockery of equal
representation on this campus. If
the people of the United States
fear a country run by the mili
tarists then all they have to do
is observe the tyranny and dic
tatorial actions which the ROTC
unit at this campus perpetuates
upon the civilians. The jockeying
of grade point ratios in last year’s
elections showed the civilians that
they could expect anything ex
cept fair treatment from the
“democratic process” which is
supposed to predominate on this
campus.
Tonight at the called meeting
of the Civilian Student Council
the civilians intend to air their
complaints of past slights and
insults which have been forced
on us for the past four years.
The civilians now comprise 81.1%
of this campus and it is high
time that they expressed their
displeasure in a form that will
have to be noticed. I urge all
members of the student body to
be present tonight to lend em
phasis to our demand as Texas
Aggies to equal representation.
Bonfire and many other activi
ties on this campus will cease
to exist if the civilians withdraw
their support. The editor of the
Battalion, the editor of the Re
view and the author of the article
which appeared in the Review
will be present at this meeting
to defend their actions and ar
ticles. I urge all civilians who
feel they have been slighted or
insulted to come to the meeting
and hear why civilians at Texas
A&M are considered a subculture
and unfit for any publicity or
recognition from the student pub
lications of this university. This
meeting will adjourn in plenty of
time for the Aggies to watch the
Fightin’ Texas Aggie basketball
team beat the hell out of Arkan
sas.
