THE BATTALION
Students deserve praise

Last night, the first Silver Taps of the
school year was held, paying final tribute to
Aggies who died during the summer. We
gincefely hope no more such ceremonies will
have to be held this year, but past experience
indicates otherwise.
Last night was a rainy, dark night.
School had just begun. Yet, we saw a good
many students present at the ceremony.
There were cadets, civilians and coeds. Some
had umbrellas, but many stood in the rain and
got soaked. They knew they would, but they
attended anyway.
We think it is a good sign, and we
commend those who attended for the spirit
they displayed in upholding one of the finest
traditions at A&M. We realize that some
traditions are dated, and really need to go,
but some—like Silver Taps—are good ones and
should be continued.
For those new to the campus, Silver Taps
is the Aggie’s way of paying last respects to
those who have died while enrolled as

We’re a Hard-Headed

We believe hard work
is better than hard sell.
So we’re spending our time
making sure our service is superior.
We found out the hard way that

students here. The day Silver Taps is to be
held, a notice is posted on the flagpole in
front of the Academic Building, and the flag is
flown at half-staff. That night at 10:30, all
lights in student living areas are extinguished,
and students silently walk over to the area in
front of the Academic Building.
The Ross Volunteer (an elite corps
organization) Firing Squad marches over, and
fires a 21-gun salute to the dead student.
Members of the Aggie Band play Taps three
times, and students return quietly to then-
rooms.
Those who still must study usually try to
keep the light from showing too plainly from
their window. In the corps area, no talking or
lights, except for studying, are allowed until
the next morning.
Again, we think those students who
placed a higher value on attendance than on
keeping dry are to be commended, and we
hope this tradition will continue as long as
A&M exists.
Look deeper. You may find something
important. A person. An individual. A unique
lifestyle.
Aggies are “traditionally” friendly and
spirited.
A new tradition, openmindedness, is
vital if the other two are to survive.
San Antonio draws sewage reprimand
The City of San Antonio drew gency corrective plan, Board fl.
a sharp reprimand from the Tex
as Water Quality Board for
dumping 12 million gallons of
raw sewage into the San Antonio
River on Aug. 3 (in anticipation
of a heavy rain).
Board sent the matter to the
attorney general to determine if
a penalty suit should be filed and
handed down an order threaten
ing an injunction if the violation
ever happens again. Dissatisfied
with the city’s lack of an emer-
rected its own staff to come J
with something to give San AH
tonians in certain areas relit'
from overcrowded sewage facilj.
ties pending passage of a boul
issue for vast new lines.
