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

even last Saturday, during the

Nov. 4) for his Swiftean pro
posal. 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.

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.

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.

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.
