Editor:
I could promise a case of beer
in each constituent’s room; I
could promise 27 busloads of girls
every weekend; I could promise
the chef from the Waldorf-As
toria for Sbisa and Duncan . . .
but I won’t. 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.

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.

I would like to congratulate
those candidates who are so dedi
cated to the goal of “a unique
old southern school with pride in
its heritage.” Such a fine example
they set of “pride in its heritage”
by quitting. Gentlemen, I am
truly overwhelmed.

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.
