Editor:
After having been exposed to
the election campaigns this year,
I wonder if some members of the
student body may have lost sight
of a few things. Both the Corps
and Civilian sides of the campus
engaged in some practices which
were not entirely fair in attempts
to insure that their candidates
would be elected. Why do we have
to resort to any questionable
practices in the belief that only
the civilians can represent the
civilians and only cadets can rep
resent the Corps ? Unless I am
greatly mistaken, it should be the
duty of an elected member of the
student government to do his best
to serve the interests of the entire
student body.
As a member of the Cadet
Corps, I have to admit that I am
partial to the Corp’s interests in
many cases. However, I also have
a loyalty to Texas A&M Univer
sity as a whole. I believe that a
member of the student govern
ment is disgracing his position if
he cannot recognize and repre
sent the interests of the entire
student body—not solely the in
terests of the Corps or solely the
interests of the Civilians. The
time has come for us to de-em-
phasize Civilian-Corps friction.
We can no longer cling complete
ly to a past which will never be
again. It is time to emphasize
that we are all members of the
same institution—that each of us,
Corps and Civilian alike, wears,
or will wear, a ring bearing the
same inscription — Texas A&M
University.

Editor:
In reference to the front page
article in Thursday’s Battalion,
concerning foreign student life
on campus. I feel that as a grad
uate foreign student, I must an
swer Mr. Jaini’s sarcastic and
critical comments concerning
America and this university.
While information for foreign
students is inadequate and out of
date, I feel that Mr. Jaini’s com
ments are unwarranted and they
definitely do not reflect the atti
tude of all foreign students at
this University. Mr. Jaini must
realize that he is in a country that
offers more opportunity than any
other country, for the individual
with initiative and drive. How
ever, there is no Utopia, here,
or anywhere else in the world.
If a foreign student comes to
this country, regardless of his
race, color or creed, he must show
sensitivity and adaptability so
that he will be able to relate to a
different way of life in America.
I, for one, thank the people of
Texas for my being able to study
at this University, and the people
of America, for my being in their
country.

Bain presented
Doherty award
A $3,000 award just established
to honor a top member of Texas
A&M University’s Corps of
Cadets was presented Saturday
to Thomas C. Bain Jr. of Dallas,
Deputy Corps commander.
The award was established by
W. T. Doherty of Houston in
memory of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William Doherty.
Doherty, a 1922 Texas A&M
graduate and former member of
the institution’s board of direc
tors, informed university offi
cials he will create an endowe-
ment of at least $60,000 to sup
port the annual award.
As deputy commander of the
Corps, Bain was the top-ranking
Air Force ROTC cadet at Texas
A&M this year and held the rank
of cadet colonel.

that some of them need a special
diet; surely the university would
be responsive to the demand
some must have for special treat
ment. But, alas, they are in
“highway 6” mind set is still
prevalent, they can cut out.
That Hornstein fellow that is
the foreign student advisor
wouldn’t happen to be “Capt.
Hornstein, Infantry”, now would
it ? Eons ago, when I was a
humble inmate of the infamous
“Spider D”, there was a bull from
the Trigon named Hornstein that
used to throw fear into the hearts
of all that ever wore the khaki
and maroon and white. Surely
an enlightened university of ex
cellence wouldn’t place an In
fantry officer in command of for
eign students would they ?
Oh well. Gigum, old Army.

Yup, he is. He also pointed out
that foreign student policy has
been formulated in the past by
the university. He has been an
advisor for only a short period of
time. —Ed.

On Wednesday, April 14, 1971,
I experienced the justice of the
Traffic Appeals Court — my ex
perience was and the Court is a
farce!
Arriving at 5:00 p.m., the ap-
pealees waited fifteen minutes
for the entire Court personnel to
arrive. Finally, when the Court
congregated, the defendants were
brushed from the conference room
and permitted to stand in the
Metzger Gun Room. Being the
tenth defendant, I was able to
listen to and observe the Court
proceedings through the thinly
curtained door; cases were heard
and decided amongst the read
ing of newspapers, the discussion
of the Easter holiday, and
laughter!
An hour later I was beckoned
to the conference table. I pre
sented my rationale for being
exonerated from the traffic
charge; no cross examination oc
curred, and I was requested to
leave the room so that I could
not witness their “discussion”
and decision.
Aggieland and, I suppose, if the
concern are pretentiously active
but pathetically ineffective!
Richard Drapeau
According to Don R. Stafford,
associate Dean of Students, ap
peals are scheduled for once
every 10 minutes so you, being
tenth on the list, should have
shown up at 6 p.m. instead of
an hour later.
He added that the reason you
had to wait for the court to
appear is because some of them
have labs till 5 p.m. and need all
the time allowable.
He also said that all student
appeals are judged only by the
students, with no faculty or staff
voting. He did say that the stu
dents do have staff members
there to advise and that lately
they have been granting a high
number of the appeals. —Ed.

It is evident that the Court is
dominated by one individual; for
all the student “judges” are pas
sive. Obviously, the Court is a
subterfuge to convince the stu
dent body that it has a sympa
thetic recourse; in reality, only
one ear hears and one voice
speaks!
Besides the need to schedule
hearings so that students do not
spend two hours in traveling to,
waiting for, being heard by, and
traveling from the Court, the
Court is direly in need of revital
ization in the form of student
“judge” involvement and partici
pation.
