Listen up Student group questions Bonfire An Open Letter to the Student Body of Texas A&M: Dear Students: Primarily because of the com munication system, man is no longer in an isolated community; he is part of one large ecosystem —earth. No longer can an indi vidual or institution act separate ly without the evaluation of other men and institutions. Texas A&M University is a leader in environmental research. A&M graduates, who are aware of their world, are exemplary in dividuals and should be commend ed. But Texas A&M also provides an example of environmental dis regard and ignorance in their an nual bonfire to all individuals aware of the growing environ mental crisis. The South Central Region Stu dent Council on Pollution and Environment (SCOPE) questions this example of destruction of our national resources. It is SCOPE’S objective that all academic insti tutions teach their students posi tive resource management. The environmental crisis is no longer an ivory tower affair. We all have to be involved in the saving of our earth. SCOPE feels there should be some alternative to the bonfire in which constructive spirit is exemplified.

Editor: Tomorrow the Freshman Class will hold runoff elections to fill several positions. These are posi tions of tremendous .responsibil ity. The future of the Class of ’74 will be determined to a larger extent than you may realize. In order to be great the Class of ’74 must elect people of responsibility and leadership. T. Mark Blake- more is an exceptionally compe tent, capable and responsible lead er. He can lead your class and help to make it successful in every way. Elect T. Mark Blakemore president, Class of ’74. It’s your class, make it great. Mark E. Jarvis Editor: The custom of Bonfire has had many charges leveled at it these past few days, but no one has mentioned the possibility of it being illegal. A reading of the Texas Clean Air Act of 1969 reveals the following warning: “Except as authorized by a rule, regulation or variance of other order of the board no person may cause, suffer, allow or permit the emission of an air contaminant or the performance of any activ ity which causes or contributes to, or which will cause or con tribute to, a condition of air pol lution” (Section 4.01). To our knowledge A&M has received no such variance. Section 1.03 of the same act defines air pollution as “The pres ence in the atmosphere of one or more contaminants, or combina tions thereof, in such concentra- Cbe Battalion Opinions exjtressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

These airborne sparks have caused small fires in the past and the settling of soot and ashes on homes and vegetation most certainly has an adverse effect. Emil Pela ’71 Ken Banning *72 Rod Lanham ’72 Ed Huckaby ’73 Joel Magid ’73 ★ ★ ★ Editor: Whenever someone is seeking an office, people, particularly students, would like to know what the candidate believes, what he would do if elected. Since I am running for vice president, and because there has not been an opportunity to meet many of the members of my class, I thought I should take this opportunity to write an open letter explaining what I believe my office would entail and what we, as a Fresh man Class, should try to do. No particular duties are ascribed to the vice president in the university regulations. He must, of course, represent his class along with the president, and he must be in charge of class meetings in case of the presi dent’s absence. If these were the only duties performed by the vice president, the office would be, and often is, an inactive office. However, I believe that the vice president should do more than this. To be more specific, it is well known that students are concern ed about conditions around them, that they are concerned enough to take action. Therefore, I favor encouraging the interested fresh men in each dormitory on campus to choose a service project, either on campus or in the Bryan-College Station area. My functions as vice president would be to help plan projects, to help gain approval for them, and to aid any way I can in their execution. I would not, I will not, be an inactive vice president. I do hope to have an opportun ity to serve you as vice president. The runoff election will be Thurs day. Don’t miss your chance to vote.
