I am an out-of-stater from Maryland and admit that one determining factor in my coming to A&M was the low cost. From my own observation I know that Texas presently has one of the lowest tuition costs of any state in the union. Sooner or later the tuition had to increase. It was just a matter of time. The point I wish to raise is in reference to your point that most of the small core of radical stu dents are non-residents, as stated by The Battalion and your quoted statement that “we can’t afford that kind” here at Texas schools. I cannot speak for every school here in Texas, but I can speak about A&M. Our school is pres ently under a great deal of in ternal stress. Recently a few indi viduals who I guess are what you call radicals, have tried to make some needed changes known to more students. There have also been a few cases here where stu dents, your radicals I suppose, have been close to or have been suspended. I have looked into this matter and can find very few, in fact only one of these indi viduals who has not been from the state of Texas. I also know that it is a similar situation at the University of Texas, where the vast majority of “radicals” have been in-state students. Absentee voting in Brazos County entered its 10th day today with only 65 votes cast as of 2 p.m. Thursday, according to Mrs. Ruth Pledger, Chief Deputy County Clerk. The number is considerably lower than at the same time in the las£ general election. Mrs. Pledger attributes this in part to My reason for writing you is not to condemn the increase of tuition, but to seriously question your added remarks concerning out-of-state students. State schools are primarily for in-state residents, but they are also for anyone who can qualify and wants to come to further his education. If the College Coordinating Board is raising the tuition for the reason of trying to keep out-of staters out of Texas schools, then there isn’t much that can be said favorably about that organization. We non-resident students pay the increased cost because we want to not because we have to. CSC Votes To Recruit More Coeds Contest (Continued from page 1) the senate president’s office in the Memorial Student Center. Tempers among the two and the group crowding the office were flaring when word was received that Roger Miller had won the vice-presidential race. The crowd, mostly Fifth Wheel supporters, then broke into cheers and ap plause. Some candidates or supporters in the hall outside of the room in the MSC where the votes were tabulated said that some of the elections would be protested and that almost all of them would be recounted. Some candidates lost by as little as one vote. Caperton said that so far as he knew no one was going to file a protest and that he hoped no one would. Hill said he knew of no one that would be protesting the election but that he wouldn’t stand in the way of anyone who wished to do so. Candidates wishing a recount should file a letter with the election commission, said Noko- mis Jackson, commission presi dent. In conclusion I want to tell you I am sending copies of this letter to The Battalion and to Univer sity Sound Off, both publications here at Texas A&M University. Miles Massie Editor: To a student of A&M: I’ve been here now for just about nine months. I’m in the Corps; a fightin’ Texas Aggie fish and damn proud of it. I’ve been taught well about discipline, military bearing, respect and honor. Before I came to this school, there were two things I’d heard; the Corps of Cadets and its honor. Richard Coke speaks about honor in his advice to the students. He says, “let honor be thy guiding star.” In December, I had $80 worth of tapes stolen from me. It kinda phased me because I’d been taught that Aggies were “true to a trust reposed as a needle to a pole.” But nevertheless, Aggie still was a word I was damn proud of. Well Aggie, Sat urday night you stole my tape deck. Another $80. Ever since I’ve been in this school, I’ve had money problems. At one time, I was $175 in debt. I can still call myself an Aggie. Can you ? W. A. McCoy, Jr. The Civilian Student Council voted Thursday night to establish a joint committee with University Women to recruit women stu dents. Garry Mauro said in introduc ing the resolution that University Women needed help in recruiting outstanding coeds and that the CSC was the logical organization to aid UW. Passed unanimously the resolu tion read in part, “the CSC is wholeheartedly behind the active recruitment of women.” The Council also endorsed the candidacy of Bill Scherle for president and Harry Need for first vice president of the Mid west Association of College and University Residence Halls. They will run for office at the convention in Wichita, Kan., August 20-23. In other action, the council heard reports on the success of Civilian Week and plans for the annual banquet. the fact that only two local of fices are being contested this time. Incumbent County Commission er of Precinct 2 is George Dunn, who is being challenged by Walter Wilcox, C. C. (Cecil) Capps and Marion Jones. In the other con tested race, Precinct 4 Commis sioner W. A. Stasney is being challenged by Harmon Bell. Absentee voting will end at 5 p.m. on April 28, next Tuesday. Mrs. Pledger said the voting usually picks up a little near the deadline but that she did not expect the absentee total to be more than 100 votes. Qualified voters may cast their ballots at the County Clerk’s office on the main floor of the Brazos County Courthouse at Hwy 6 and 25th Street. Painting Presented In Honor of Tower “Guadalupe,” a watercolor of a Texas hill country scene, was pre sented Tuesday to the Memorial Student Center by Mr. and Mrs. John R. Tower of Waco in mem ory of their son. John B. Tower was a member of the class of 1972. He died Oct. 18, 1968, of a viral infection after collapsing in the swimming pool. The Tower’s son entered the university in September, 1968, on a swimming scholarship. He was the only freshman member of the water polo team. Thomas C. Fitzhugh III of Wa co, 1970-71 MSC Council and Di rectorate president, accepted the gift from the elder Tower. It is affixed with a plaque reading: “In memory of our beloved son, John B. Tower '72, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Tower.” Che Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

QUEEN Bonded ASTA Agent If you think you Ve getting a great shave with a razor blade, feel your face. A razor blade can give you a good, close shave on the easy parts of your face. Like your cheeks. Because your cheeks are almost flat, like a razor blade. But what about the hard- to-shave parts of your face? Feel your chin Feel your sideburns Feel your neck Feel how your beard grows down on part of your neck? And up on another part? (Some beards even grow sideways.) To give you a close, comfortable shave on your neck, we designed the Norelco Tripleheader with 18 self- sharpening rotary blades that shave in every direction. The Norelco Tripleheader has 3 Microgroove™ shaving heads that float to follow the curves of your chin. The heads go in where your chin goes in, and out where your chin goes out. To give you a really close shave, without irritating your skin. (In independent tests, the Tripleheader shaved as close or closer than a stainless steel blade in 2 out of 3 shaves.) Feel your upper lip The hard thing about shaving your upper lip with a razor blade is shaving close enough. Again, the unique Norelco design lets you maneuver around your nose and mouth, to shave your beard in every direction. The biggest problem with shaving sideburns is to get them straight, and even on both sides. The Norelco Tripleheader has a pop-up trimmer that lets you see exactly what you're trimming. So it’s a lot harder to make a mistake. Now, run your hand over your whole face. If your beard feels uneven, maybe you should be shaving with a Norelco Tripleheader. It comes in two models. The Cord Model Tripleheader (with easy flip-top cleaning). And the new Rechargeable Tripleheader (the shaver that gives you up to twice as many shaves per charge as any other rechargeable). Either one will give your face a whole new feel.
