Editor:
Mr. Tom Sealy of the Coordinat
ing Board of Texas Colleges
and University System
The Battalion, our school news
paper here at Texas A&M, came
out with a front page story Tues
day, April 21, concerning the
proposed increase in tuition at
state colleges.
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.

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.”

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.
