Prom the letter of the Fifth
Wheel’s candidate for President
last week, we students are admon
ished to judge each of the candi
dates on their respective merits.
I propose to do just that.
It is my understanding that the
Fifth Wheel’s candidate for Pres
ident of the Student Senate is
presently the Vice-President of
that body.
It seems to me that if this can
didate was sincere in his opposi
tion to administration dominance
of student affairs, he would long
ago have resigned his office. Yet
he asks that we vote for him on
the basis of what he will do for
student rights. Bull! Enough of
puppet student politicians who
cannot perceive beyond their own
ego-trips. My vote goes to Bill
Maskal.

I would like to take this oppor
tunity to announce my candidacy
for Senior Senator from the Cbl-
lege of Agriculture. My qualifi
cations not only include experi
ence as a Senator this past year,
but also as Vice-Chairman of Po
litical Forum and as a delegate
to the T.I.S.A. Student Body Pres
ident’s Conference, A&M’s Idea
Exchange Conference, and Oper
ation Jericho. My colleagues will
attest to the energy and dedica
tion with which I have pursued
these activities. I am committed
to the Fifth Wheel’s principles of
responsive representation and
would appreciate your consider
ation in voting Thursday.

My name is Rick Perry. I am a
candidate for Junior Yell leader.
If you choose to elect me your
Junior Yell leader, I will stand
before you as an Aggie represent
ing every student at A&M.
I am a Sophomore class officer
involved in many campus organ
isations and do my best to per
form my delegated duties in
whatever area I serve.
Most of all, however, I love
A&M and I love what it stands
for. This I consider a person’s
most important qualification for
yell leader.
I would greatly appreciate your
vote, a vote for all of A&M.

We the undersigned feel that
Bill Jermyn is the best qualified
candidate for Sophomore Sena
tor from the College of Science.
Although Bill has not had the
opportunity to serve in any elect
ed office this year, he was select
ed as one of the participants for
Operation Jericho and took a very
active part in that conference.
He has a tremendous willingness
to work and a real grasp of the
issues at hand. It has been our
pleasure to work with Bill this
year and we feel that he will
bring a much needed input to the
Student Senate. Bill was the
Listen Up the batt forum
number two freshman pre-med
student during the fall semester
thus showing his abilities in aca
demic areas as well. Because of
his qualifications and desire to
serve the students of his college,
we wholeheatredly endorse his
candidacy and urge you to sup
port him at the polls tomorrow.

Editor:
I have read Mr. Caperton’s re
marks in The Battalion and have
had people from the Fifth Wheel
come to my door. One of their
most constant themes is that they
are not asking for a straight tick
et.
Yet at the same time, the Fifth
Wheel Committee has manufac
tured and is planning to distrib
ute “cheat sheets,” lists of its
candidates to be used in voting
Thursday. The obvious purpose
of these is to allow the student
to bloc vote those on it.
I just wonder if the students,
after all the complaints in the
past about bloc voting, really
want a student government elect
ed by these means. The answer
should be no. If they care about
electing the best representative.

This letter is dedicated to the
Class of ’72. I am running for
president of your class, next
year’s junior class. We have been
on this campus for two years,
and yet, the communication be
tween the members of our class
is so bad that we don’t even
know the people in our class ex
cept those whom we have met
down the hall or in class across
the aisle. In order to solve this
problem my platform is based on
the idea that we are all Aggies,
all members of the class of ’72,
and that we should all have a
part in our class instead of only
the elected few.
There are many plans, but it
takes an active leader to initiate
these plans that will be chosen
by our Junior Council next fall.

We, the undersigned, appeared
on a list of candidates from one
“Clean-Up Committee.” We were
not contacted about our name
appearing on this list, nor do we
support the other candidates for
office. We disagree with their
comments, the absence of issues,
and feel that there are much
better candidates who were left
off.

Roger Miller has shown his
ability, desire and dedication
through his past work in the
Senate and the MSC. Through
out his activities at A&M, he has
impressed all those he has come
into contact with and distin
guished himself as being an out
standing individual.
We urge you to vote for Roger
Miller for Student Senate Vice-
President when you go to the
polls Thursday.

Editor:
Attention Class of ’72. I would
like to announce to all members
of the class that I am a candi
date for class vice president. I
feel that many students here at
Texas A&M are unaware of the
great heritage that they are
part of as Texas Aggies. I am
a firm believer in the undying
spirit of Aggieland and in the
undying loyalty that all Aggies
have for A&M and for each
other. I am for participation by
all Aggies in the affairs of Texas
A&M and in its student govern
ment. I am a member of the
Corps of Cadets, of which I am
very proud. But I also respect
the rights of all Aggies, whether
they are in the corps or not. I
pledge to you that if you elect
me to the office of vice president,
I will work faithfully for the
good of the class of ’72 and do
my best to curb the factionalism
that has developed at A&M. I
will try to promote the Fightin’
Texas Aggie Spirit and the unity
of the Class of ’72 above all else.

president, Class of ’72
Editor:
At a time when we need to
unite the campus, we feel that
Tommy Butler is the best quali
fied candidate for Yell Leader,
Class of ’71, to achieve this goal.
We support him and urge you to
vote for TOMMY BUTLER, ’71,
YELL LEADER, in tomorrow’s
election.
