FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Students call for Bonfire changes Editor In honor of Veterans’ day, I should like to remind Aggies of the following poem written by Joyce Kilmer, a soldier-poet, who gave his life in World War I. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flow ing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robbins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Last year, three thousand trees, so sacred to Mr. Kilmer, were burned in the Aggie Bonfire. Is it not time the Aggies return to the old tradition of burning only refuse materials? If not for the sake of this slain soldier, then at least for the sake of future gen erations who will inherit the earth. Mrs. Susan Mellor ★ ★ ★ Editor: Before getting to the purpose of this letter I want you to be lieve me when I tell you that even last Saturday, during the A&M-SMU game, I had goose- bumps all over on hearing the “Aggie War Hymn,” that the sight of our Bonfire always has brought tears of enthusiasm to my eyes, and I don’t want to tell you what it does to me when I see the marching Aggie Band winning each and every halftime.

I am not the only one to agree with him, but, alas, per haps only one of a few to do so in writing. It seems ludicrous that this institution on the one hand is applying for government sponsored grants to support re search in an effort to find means of reducing man-imposed envir onmental upsets and on the other hand tolerates adding so much to it. (It is bad enough that the university trash dump belches periodically black smoke all over — I live one-half mile away from it and know.) True enthusiasm needs no bon fire — it is in our hearts and minds and shows itself in our deeds. Is it not time to forget about images and get down to do the real thing ? More could be accomplished than ten bonfires ever could. If the “Spirit of Ag gieland” is more than illusion, then it does not need anything to manifest itself. This same spirit should induce the Aggies to be great enough to be able to fore go this tradition which, consider ing present-day opinions and feelings about man, environment and survival has become unfash ionable and objectionable. Relinquishing the bonfire for the good of our fellow man and his generations to come would truly be the mark of the Aggies we all know and admire. Trudie Adam,’67 Regarding reference to the “university trash dump,” Physi cal Plant Director Walter Par sons, Jr., says there is no burn ing, noting the area is now a sanitary land fill widely regarded as a model installation. He says smoke observed in the general area stems from necessary in struction at the nearby Fireman’s Training School. —Ed. Editor: ★ ★ ★ As freshman elections roll around again this year, I can’t help but think of the work that goes into making a freshman class into a strong and cohesive unit. A very large number of hours is spent in preparation for the Freshman Ball, but that’s not where a freshman class should stop as some have in the past. There are a tremendous number of things that can be done, things that require strong, dynamic leadership. Your class, the Class of ’74, can be no better than the leaders you elect for it. T. Mark Blakemore is very competent and energetic. He will be able to lead your class and make it what it can be, fantastic, not simply an other do-nothing freshman class. Vote for strong dynamic leader ship — vote for T. Mark Blake more, Freshman Class president. Mark E. Jarvis ★ ★ ★ Editor: Addressed to all sophomores, the Class of ’73: There have been three meet ings of the Sophomore Class Council so far this year. Attend ance, I hope, has not been pro portionate to interest within our class. Last year, while campaigning for my present position, I met many individuals who had some really great ideas and showed a genuine initiative to work for our class. Where has it all been hid ing this year? There will be a Sophomore Council Meeting Monday night at 7:30 p.m. in the library confer ence room. Committees for our class weekend, Feb. 5-7, must be filled. In addition, there will be a general class meeting for all sophomores Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the lecture room (room 100) of the Chemistry Building. This is your opportunity to bring up any constructive ideas or recommendations, and gripes. For those interested, committee sign-up sheets will be available. I’d like to see you there and sure can use your help. Incidentally, the following dorms and outfits have not had representatives at the previous meetings: Company F-2, Com pany H-2, Company K-2, Moses Hall, Moore Hall, Crocker Hall, Schumacher Hall, Henderson Hall, Mitchell Hall, Squadron 2, Squadron 10 and the Maroon Band. Nick Jiga ★ ★ ★ Editor: In regard to James R. Jack son’s unfortunate remarks about women’s lib (5 Nov. 1970), he has, we’re afraid, revealed him self to be ignorant not only on the subject of women in general, but on the subject of the wom en’s liberation movement as a whole. None of the females of our acquaintance, which generally is limited to those of at least aver age intelligence, likes to be “man handled.” No one, we believe, likes to be in a position of sub servience or inferiority (Mr. Jackson included?). We have found that, almost without exception, the people who are most outspoken and vehement in their opposition to women’s lib are abysmally ignorant of the aims of the movement. The move ment is not an attempt to make women just like men, and most “libbers” are not bra-bumers and do not participate in the widely- publicized rains on men’s bars, etc. What they are interested in, and entitled to, is equal pay for equal work, equal opportunity for job promotions, equal access to good jobs ... in short, a chance to utilize their intelligence as fully as possible. To help facili tate the attainment of these goals, day-care centers for chil dren, abortion on demand and sharing of household chores by both male and female members of the family are highly desir able. In return for gaining these “freedoms”, women would re linquish the right to alimony payments (which are discrimi natory against men), and any other special status under exist ing laws. If Mr. Jackson feels his mascu linity is threatened by all this, and if he feels he must man handle women in order to main tain his self-esteeem, we are sor ry for him. Mark Hooper Henry A. C.
