The Student Senate deserves more than that ... it needs people who will be able to work for common goals, to respond to change that has al ready occurred, to provide stabil ity without stagnation of ideas and action. We accomplish little by talking, emoting about seem ingly insurmountable problems. We need action—and the College of Science plays no little part in the outcome of the present situ ation. But, to overcome the inertia of this past year, we in the College of Science must be adequately represented in the Student Sen ate. We cannot afford to lose our active voice in campus govern ment. The issue in this election is candidate competence. I believe that I am best qualified to repre sent the class of ’73 on the senate. Besides the experience of three year’s service on my high school senate, I am the only candidate with extensive experience in campus government. I am a mem ber of the Freshman Council and chairman of the Coordinating Committee for freshmen coeds. Last summer, I served on the MSC Directorate and am now an active member of two MSC com mittees. I was a counselor at Fish Camp for the Class of ’74. I was one of the student leaders chosen for the MSC Leadership Committee’s spring trip. Judge the issues for yourself, and, if you can, vote for me as sophomore representative of the College of Science. Julie McCall . ★ ★ ★ Editor: Editor: In reply to the letter by James E. Zeman, Jr., in the April 16 issue of The Battalion, I would first like to thank him for the interest he has taken ip our ma terial. Although we cannot al together agree with him (see the forthcoming issue of the Free Campus News), he has given the matter some thought which is what we hoped our material would encourage. Please allow me to clarify our position (which we failed to do). We favor a voluntary military during peace time (when war has not been declared). When the na tion is mobilized for a declared war and if volunteers are not sufficient, conscription may be justified. But only during a de clared war! (It is questionable how useful a draftee would be without sufficient training in the technological war which might be large enough to warrant a declar ation of war). Mr. Zeman cites the Korean “War” — the Korean conflict, as the Viet Nam conflict, was not declared by Congress and therefore there was no justifica tion for the draft. Again let me clarify: This is not to be misconstrued to propose an immediate withdrawal of troops from Viet Nam. Such a proposal is sophomoric. YAF op poses the way the war is being conducted, and we believe that ground troops should never have been committed to Asia, but we are there and to advocate im mediate withdrawal is to be total ly impractical. Let’s win, then get out! We would be glad to discuss these issues with anyone inter ested if they will contact us personally. RoJ>ert S.

Gentlemen, I am truly overwhelmed. James M. Jaynes ARM it HOME SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Home Office: Nevada, Mo. 3521 Texaa Are. (in Ridgecrest) 846*3708 Student (Continued from page 1) our knees ? How many years can some people exists before they can hear nature’s pleas?” An A&M folk group, the Joint Com mission, asked to the tune of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.” A song introduced as “one we might sing to our grandchildren” went, “where are the green fields that we used to roam?” The group closed their part of the program with “The Times acording to group member Linda Nobles, was sunk with the hope that people’s attitudes toward ecology are changing. A multimedia slide show, pre sented by a student committee, also told the pollution-overpopula tion story. Four five-foot screens featured 400 slides chosen from over 1000 taken by 15 architecture students or borrowed from Dr. Richard Baldauf and Dr. Don Clark, both wildlife science professors. Slide comparisons of oak trees and telephone poles, the Aggie bonfire and garbage at the base of the Statue of Liberty, fields of bluebonnets and stagnant, filthy water conveyed the “Move it or Lose It” message of Earth Day. We, the following, urge all Texas A&M students to support Barrett Smith and Keith Chap man for senior yell leaders. We have worked closely with them this past year and feel they have done an outstanding job in their positions as junior yell leaders. Barrett and Keith are Aggies in the finest sense of the word. For the good of Texas A&M, re-elect Barrett Smith ’71 and Keith Chapman ’71 for yell leader.

Editor: It has come to our attention that the status of student politics at A&M is running in one vicious, never-ending circle. On one hand we have the candidates who are in favor of the continuance of the political way of life at A&M as it once was. In the middle we have those who wish A&M to be come a hippe-haven. And last there’s the Fifth Wheel. All we have seen to date is Bovine feces slung in prodigious amounts. Therefore we offer our solution to end this absurd, circu lar name calling. We the undersigned firmly be lieve that the democratic process es of student government at A&M is hopelessly mired in thrown muck and is too busy spinning its wheels to be effective. In order to rectify this situation we be lieve that democratic government be abolished and are in favor of the appointment of W. M. Hath away ’69 as student King. L.
