First of all, the Campus Com mittee of Concern is not presum ing to represent the entire uni versity as thinking like they do. But certainly a part of the stu dent body is against the war and deserves representation in Aus tin Saturday along with the thousands of others who will be representing their schools. The CCOC has as much right to assemble under the “banner” of Texas A&M as any other group of students attending A&M. There are many of us, some in the corps, who would like to at tend Saturday but can’t because of a prior engagement at a foot ball game. We would like to point out that another march will be held in Austin on Thanksgiving. These A&M students, the Corps of Cadets, will be marching under the “banner” of Texas A&M, and they certainly are not a majority of the student body. But they, like the CCOC, have a right to represent A&M. We personally are not mem bers of the CCOC, but are glad that someone will be speaking for us and a sizable portion of the student body in forwarding our beliefs in Austin Saturday. Tim Dunn Tom Hall James Parsons ★ ★ ★ Editor: On Oct. 19, 1970, I attended the meeting of an “off-campus” organization whose members call themselves the “Campus Commit tee of Concern”. Among other topics discussed was a proposal to hold an on campus “antiwar rally” or demonstration to be held sometime later this month. I believe that everyone has the right to any opinion whatsoever and the right to express it, so long as there results no violence or harm to others. I don’t think CCOC intends to overtly start violence. However, sentiment on this campus may preclude any truly peaceful demonstration against the United States Gov ernment. I think that if an “off-campus” organization is permitted to dem onstrate “on-campus” it is con ceivable that destructive violence might result. Perhaps not, but I do not think that we, as a uni versity community, need to take the chance. In addition, should the administration sanction such a demonstration, and it did re sult in violence, they would be virtually obligated to provide protection to the individuals con cerned. Besides demonstrations, there are more effective ways of voic ing one’s opinions, i.e., letters, telephone calls, telegrams, per sonal visits — to members of Congress. A demonstration on a university campus by an off campus organization could result in harm or destruction — is prob ably the least effective way of voicing an opinion. Michael H. Hopkins ★ ★ ★ Editor: Recently an incident happened to me that made me wonder what kind of men are on the University Police Force. I own a car but do not park it on campus. There fore, I did not buy a parking per mit this year. I had driven to Cook’s Department Store to buy some oil for my car. I then had to return to campus to get an opener and a funnel for the oil. I parked my car in front of one of the dorms. In less than five minutes I came back to my car only to find three officers block ing my exit in one of their cars. The officers asked me bluntly where my parking permit was and I replied that I did not have one. Upon hearing this, the of ficers asked me for my driver’s license, selective service card and my student I.D. After producing this informa tion, I was ordered off campus. What I am getting at is that their attitude toward the whole situation was that of a rude and bully type person. A nice re quest for me to move my car would be sufficient. Because of this incident I sometimes wonder if they treat student’s parents, guests or any visitors with the same rudeness they treated me. I know from the impression they gave me, these are not the kind of men I’ve been taught to respect as officers of the law. Steve Snyder Class of ’72 Veterans should be aware of check status, VA says Assistant Chief Morris Maddox explained university regulations require any student vehicle oper ated on campus to have a park ing permit, whether or not the vehicle ever is parked on cam pus. For that reason, students living in university apartments must have permits, even if they never drive onto the campus. Officers usually ask for only one of the identification items you mention, Maddox said, and he doesn’t really know why you were asked for all three. As far as the “bully” attitude goes, Maddox said he is more than will ing to talk with you about it and find out times and dates. His of fice is in room 017 of the YMCA. —Ed. Texas A&M veterans are re minded by the Veterans Admini stration that they should have heard from the VA by now. Veterans should have either re ceived their first check or a no tice saying that their checks will be starting. i V; “If you haven’t yet ‘got the word,’ start checking, “the VA ad vised. First, the veteran should check with the school registrar’s office to be sure that office has for warded his Certificate of Enroll ment to the VA. The VA cannot legally send a check until it re ceives this form. If the certificate has been sent, the veteran should check prompt ly with the nearest VA office. The VA also cautioned veterans to let the VA know immediately if they have made any change which affects the amount of their VA check, such as a change in the number of dependents or drop ping courses. To keep checks coming regular ly, the VA advised all college vet erans to report any change of address to the Post Office as well as to VA. on the tube Numbers in () denote channels on the cable.
