Senate trys for voice cadet slouch b y ji m Earie (continued from page 1) Immediately following the de feat, Henderson moved that the senate executive committee be empowered to act as the voice of the student body in matters con cerning the selection of a new president, and that the commit tee submit a list of qualities stu dents want in the new president. The motion was approved, 43-5. Kirby Brown, Issues chairman, proposed a resolution to be sent to the board saying that the sen ate felt it was a “grave injus tice” that it so far has not been consulted on the matter. Mayes said that until the senate found out why the board had not con tacted it, such a resolution might be premature. A subsequent vote defeated the proposal. Brown also was the senator who proposed that the senate pass a constitutional amendment giving University Women a seat on the senate. The corps and the civilians each have a special rep resentative in the deputy corps commander and the Civilian Stu dent Council second vice presi dent, he said, so why shouldn’t UW have a representative? Some senators brought out the argument used the last three times a senate has considered the proposal this year, that if the women are given a seat, why not give one to all other minority groups ? Henderson asserted that UW is an organized “govering” body similar to the CSC and corps staff. James O’Jibway, public rela tions chairman, argued that granting UW a seat would open the way for the Baptist Student Union, the Houston Hometown Club or anyone else to ask for an ex officio seat. Henderson said that there was a difference between the groups O’Jibway mentioned and UW. UW represent a specific group, he said, like the CSC and corps staff do, and they are needed to supply input on women’s views. A roll call vote resulted in 35 yes, 21 no, 2 abstentions and 7 absent. The voting fell about 14 short of the three-fourths needed to pass the amendment. Listen Up the halt forum I Editor: I partly agree with Michael Willett’s letter to The Battalion — indeed the Kent State incident was a tragedy. Reviewing the facts, I have found that two of the dead students were girls and one was the “second ranking stu dent in Kent State’s Army ROTC unit” (from Time). Another ugly fact is that students were not told the guns were loaded! I also wonder about the distances that the two girls were throwing ‘bricks, rocks and bottles’. Have you, however, had the oppor tunity to dodge a .30 caliber bul let? Would there have been a “tragedy” if there had been no bullets ? Is the death penalty just punishment for those who throw rocks and should it be lighter for those who would shoot lead at those who throw rocks ? Jerry Kirk Editor: As an A&M graduate, class of ’59, I want to congratulate your student body president, as well as the whole student body of Tex as A&M University for showing restraint and reason during the recent demonstrations through out the U.S. Your student body president’s comments during the recent Mother’s Day program were most gratifying to me and I know to all other exes through out the world. We all know there are many things that need to be changed in this country of ours, but there is a right and wrong way to change them. The stu dents at Texas A&M are to be congratulated on the way they have handled themselves to date. We are all behind you. Sincerely yours, W. O.
