CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
Better behavior needed
Saturday night’s victory was the best
way possible to start a football season. We are
proud of the team, and commend the mem
bers and coach Gene Stallings for the fine
game they played.
It is truely unfortunate the Aggies did, in
a sense, lose that night.
The incidents were fairly minor, but
significant enough to warrant comment.
Some students watching the game
seemed to think it was necessary to make
frequent references to the masculinity of the
officials or of the opposing team’s members.
Obscene language and corps slang also seemed
to find their way into the yelling of some
people.
All this even with women present.
What a way to present a good image of
A&M and its students, one of a gentlemanly
student body, courteous and respectful to
others.
We do not for one minute mean to keep
anyone from having a good time, or to
condemn school pride and spirit, but we do
feel it can be shown without resort to the
language used.
During the half, when the senior line
formed, we were treated to an example of the
backward thinking of some individuals on
campus. At least one coed was seen running
out to form the line, and one Ag was heard to
mutter something to the effect that she
should stay in the stands where she belonged,
and stay out of the line.
He, like many others, just doesn’t realize
women now are part of A&M too, and are just
as much Aggies as anyone. They, too, enjoy
and wish to participate in our traditions. It is
a fact some might try and accept.
Maybe the next home game will be
different, as far as crowd behavior goes; we
hope so.
For now, let’s beat the hell out of LSU.

This letter is regarding Miss
Bath’s recent comment concern
ing the 1970 Aggieland. Although
we agree the picture (on page 3)
was in poor taste, we also feel
it is unfair to acuse the student
body of being immature. Evi
dently, Miss Bath has never lived
in a dorm, or she would realize
the “foolishness” that occurs dur
ing frequent attacks of boredom.
As for her comment concerning
dating Aggies, we feel she won’t
have to worry about this “prob
lem’ ’after her letter.

Editor:
We are constantly reminded of
the many traditions which have
become a large part of Texas
A&M University. However, I am
afraid that one of the finest tra
ditions of A&M is quickly becom
ing a thing of the past.
Six years ago, I came as a
visitor to Texas A&M and was
immediately impressed with the
friendliness of the Aggies. Four
years ago, I entered Texas A&M
as a student. The Aggie tradition
of saying “hello” to each other
as they met on the sidewalk was
one contributing factor. I person
ally enjoyed saying “hello” to
the people I met.
However, during the past four
years, as each year passed, I have
consistantly received fewer
“howdies” in my response to my
“howdy,” and recently three fish
nearly ran me down without even
saying an unfriendly “get out of
the way.”
I am a civilian student and
really don’t mind that fish no
longer whip out, for I realize
many civilian students have given
corps fish a hard time whenever
they do whip out. Maybe more
civilians should whip out to those
in the corps and there would be
less tension between the two
groups on campus.
Texas A&M has a fine tradition
in being friendly to other students
and visitors on campus, so let’s
not lose the tradition because one
student is in the corps and the
other is not, because one is black
and the other is white, or because
one is female and the other is
male.
For years, A&M has been
known as the “friendliest college
campus in the world,” so let’s
keep it that way.
Say “hello” to the people you
meet.
