• ......... ::--':vVv':v:vv : •- 1 •v.’* 'W\ , CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle From the back row Wednesday,( By FRANK GRIFFIS The Student Senate apparently is out to fill the communications gap this semester in the form of subcommittees, whose primary purpose is to improve relations between students and minority groups. The list of minority groups in cludes blacks, international stu dents, Young Republicans, Young Democrats, Young Americans for Freedom, members of the Campus Contmittee of Concern (CCOC) and the University Police. The University Police subcom mittee probably concerns more students than all of the others combined. The subcommittee was formed through a resolution pre sented by Tommy Henderson, senior Liberal Arts senator, dur ing last Thursday’s Senate meet ing. Henderson did not mince any words in the resolution. It is strongly worded, which it should be. The subcommittee was formed out of necessity in an attempt to settle differences between the university police and the student body. I gathered from comments made during a meeting of student leaders and University Police last Friday that the two groups are willing to work together to im prove relations, but narrow-mind edness still exists. For instance, the University Police still haven’t figured out the difference between a radical and an activist, and students will probably continue to refer to the police contemptuously as “pigs, heat and fuzz.” Another link in the Senate’s communications chain is the soap box forum, the first of which is set for Tuesday from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. The forum, located at the east end of the drill field across from the Memorial Student Cen ter, is designed to let anyone affiliated with the university give his views in an organized fashion. Although not directly involved with communications, the pass- fail resolution is worthy of men tion. Not only will the resolution set precedent here, it will also probably be given consideration by other colleges and univer sities. Whether or not it is adopt ed by the College of Liberal Arts is another question. The Senate has gotten off on the right foot so far this semes ter with its new subcommittees, which, if continued in the same spirit as they were formed, could be valuable in patching up the broken links in the communica tions chain on campus.

I was furious to learn how misinformed people are and really can’t imagine where they got their information. ' Approximately 30 to 35 people were actually involved in the weekend’s activities, and only those people know what really went on. All the tales of how rude the Tessies were to the Mag gie simply are NOT true! I know —I’m the Maggie! All the Tessies were very nice to me, and we had a grand time together. In one short weekend of sharing the anx ieties and fun of being an Aggie Sweetheart finalist, we gained a better understanding of our re spective roles and became good friends. I feel that all the criticism I’ve heard about Sue Binford is un justified; She is a cute girl with a great personality and will make a great Aggie Sweetheart. I don’t think any of the other finalists felt Sue did not deserve to win. I really think it’s a shame not every Aggie can meet Sue and get to know her as well as the selection committee did. I know that they made the right choice for Aggie Sweetheart! As for myself, this weekend was an unforgettable experience, and I have lost nothing, but gain ed many new friends. Jane Haley Aggie Sweetheart finalist We agree. We think Sue Bin- ford is a fine choice.—Ed. as A&M is supported by tax money. Also, after rereading the story, we fail to see where Miss Wallace is dictating from Mt. Sinai. As near as we can tell, she is advocating freedom from prior censorship, a legal principle in effect in the United States.—Ed. ★ ★ ★ Editor: We were shocked by reading that Miss Janie Wallace said, “There really shouldn’t be cen sorship anyway. Freedom of the press is a basic American right.” We would like to remind Miss Wallace that The Review is not a magazine supported by its own sales and advertising. The stu dents of A&M and the State of Texas largely pay for it. In other words, we cannot can cel our subscriptions, Miss Wal lace. There is the necessity to respond to the needs of those paying for the publication of your article, this being the obligation and means of survival of free press. Also the press has an obli gation to present true and factual information. We are unable to find justification for a student who is not holding an elected office to dictate to A&M from Mount Sinai. Bill Lockwood Ronald Hambric ★ ★ ★ Editor: In last Friday’s Battalion you published a letter from three young men who suggested that foreign students object to the term “camel-jock.” Since I came to this school, I have learned that everyone here has a nickname— most of them slurs of some kind: non-regs, c.t.’s, jocks, dayducks, B.Q.s and Maggies to mention a few of the printable terms. I do not approve of all of the nicknames, but I don’t think The Battalion should be appointed censor in cases involving these names. I don’t mind being called a camel-jock, although I have never even seen a camel. Then again, I might have misunder stood the letter last Friday. Per haps the three gentlemen were offended themselves by the term “weirdo.” Elias M. Hajj No student publication at Tex- Some people obviously don’t like unnecessary derogatory references.
