* " V*. '* '*%*/*■■ >>%* , 1 ■ • ■ ; • • -'..V I Listen Up the bait forum Editor: I’ve heard it said that it re quires a certain amount of in telligence to appreciate satirical writing. Many people cannot dis cern satire from serious writing and argument. Apparently Mr. Martin is one of these. My letter to The Battalion was (I thought) a blatantly facetious bit of satire intended to illustrate just how pointless the Civilian Student Council and Student Sen ate censure of the Review is. Their proceedings and censure were as ridiculous as the “sug gestions” in my letter. For example, consider this par aphrase of the CSC’s resolution of censure: “The terms Old Army and Ca dets failed in all of their context to present an accurate view of participation in athletics by both corps and civilians but rather connoted the image of our ath letic teams peopled entirely by members of the Corps of Ca dets . . . “This is an obviously fallacious representation of the actual in put of effort, equipment and en thusiasm into this project . . .” If indeed The Review can be subjected to censure on such nebulous grounds, then certainly my suggestions of censure of those who refer to the Aggies as “01’ Army” or “Cadets” can not be as far-fetched as Mr. Mar tin aptly pointed out. The SCS and the Student Sen ate were justified in questioning the fairness of the controversial article, but if they were genuinely interested in doing something about it they could have accom plished much more for the ci vilians and for the student body in general if they had just written a detailed complaint in the form of a letter to the editor of The Review. Such a rational response would have been rewarded by having their point of view pub lished in the very publication with which they were unhappy. As it was, the censure proceedings have made many people wonder whether the CSC and Senate had anything better to do. Finally, just for the record. I’ve been wildcatting for ‘01’ Army” and the “Cadets” for over three and one half years now. Robert Peek Managing Editor, The Review ★ ★ ★ Editor: rtW*** ■ I would like to make clear a statement that appeared in The Battalion on Friday, 27 February. The statement appeared in the article “Coed Life at A&M,” by Pam Troboy. On Thursday, 26 February, at 11:15 p.m., Miss Troboy called me and said she would like to work on the Aggie- land ’70. I informed her that the staff had been organized in Sep tember and that there were no openings, I also pointed out that I did not hire people for the staff, the editor-in-chief did. She asked if any girls had applied, and if any had, would they have been accepted. I told her that if any qualified coeds had applied they might have been accepted. By qualified I meant they should have had previous yearbook work experience. The fact that no co eds were on the staff last year can not be construed that none would be on the staff this year. No coeds applied to work on the yearbook in September. It would be courteous to let people know when they were be ing interviewed for The Battalion also. Charles F. Prendergast Assistant Editor, AGGIELAND ’70 Editor’s Note: The statement in The Battalion to which Pren dergast refers is the following: “Charles Prendergast, assist ant editor, said that girls would have been put on the staff if any had applied, but last year’s assistant editor, Mike Wright, said that girls were excluded from the staff.” ★ ★ ★ Editor: I have had quite enough: so much whooping, whistling, yell ing, and whoo-ahing when I try to walk peacefully—or especially bicycle — across campus that I now react with disgust nearing nausea. A&M is populated with more ill-bred boys—and I do mean boys — than any other campus, including several all-boy schools, that I’ve ever set foot on. Girl watching is fine and normal, but a group, herd, of males yelling and chorusing is crude, rude, and obnoxious to any victim of such attentions. I regret that I must write anonymously; but it is nec essary here, as it never was else where with controversial opin ions, as I know from other ex periences that I would otherwise be harassed by phone calls from immature Aggie clods!

He makes at least three suggestions. First, those who ask questions from the audi ence should be allowed more than a single question. I think this is a good suggestion. The kind of give-and-take which characterizes a real exchange of ideas did not take place during the formal pro gram, although it did take place in the more informal discussion which followed. Second, Professor Wood suggests that “a panel of competent persons can serve as responsible agents to prevent dis tortion and abuse of language and communication.” The program was a panel discussion, with Dr. Upham as the other member of the panel. Professor Wood says that nothing in his letter is in tended as a criticism of Dr. Up ham. However, since virtually everything Dr. Upham said was either neutral or apparently in support of Reverend Kinsolving’s position and since Professor Wood obviously does not think abuses of language were avoided, it is difficult for me to see why Pro fessor Wood’s suggestion does not constitute a severe criticism of Dr. Upham. In the third place —and this is certainly the most disturbing thing to me in Pro fessor Wood’s letter—the sugges tion is made that if the first two methods cannot be used, “then the px-ogram should ... be carefully screened as to audience . . . ” Presumably this means that Pro fessor Wood thinks that either some or all of the students attend ing should have been excluded. If Reverend Kinsolving was as obviously biased and unfair to his opposition as Professor Wood supposes, surely the students saw this. Hopefully Aggies are a little more capable of exercising their critical faculties than Professor Wood seems to suggest.

So far the U.S.S.R. has only one cremator ium in Moscow, but state funeral authorities recently ordered $396,- 000 worth of equipment from a British company to equip a new installation in Moscow, and the British company hopes the order will lead to a contract to supply similar equipment throughout Russia. tonight on the tube Cbe Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.
