CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle

u.w.
dance called success
“I just don’t know if I can stand it if you make a joke
about our winning streak too!”
Bulletin Board
Editor:
I wish to thank the men and
women that came to University
Women’s All-University Dance,
particularly the men who lis
tened more than danced. I am
very sorry that only sixty-two
of the approximately eight hun
dred single girls could be trou
bled enough to even make a
showing at the dance. This was
the first dance sponsored by the
only women’s organization giv
ing them a voice in the student
government.
I am sorry that your pho
tographer was not at the dance
a bit later. Instead of the pic
ture that was seen in the BATT
Thursday, you might have had
a picture of the 439 paying men
and 62 women that were present.
The other University Women of
ficers and myself thought the
dance turned out quite well.
I hope that at tonight’s Uni
versity Women general meeting
(Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., 3-D MSC)
there will be more than sixty-two
women that will come and show
that they care. It would be very
nice to see the many women that
I have heard say “A&M has no
social life” show up at some
social functions or at least show
up at a meeting and find out
what is being planned.

We can see how University
Women thought the dance was
quite successful — with the odds
seven to one in their favor. Just
^vhat the 439 guys who paid
their money to stand around
thought is a different matter.
Though the photographer did not
have a picture of the crowd, he
did wait an hour after the dance
was scheduled to start before he
left. —Ed.

Editor:
This Wednesday the Traffic
Committee meets to discuss the
parking problem. I hope they
have a better idea of the situa
tion than the assistant police
chief (Battalion, Sept. 8), who
doesn’t know where the cars come
from. Detroit may be a suitable
answer for the K.K., but that
doesn’t help the problem.
Remember lots 11, 30, 48-B?
These lots are now under the
classroom building and the Me
morial Student Center Annex, in
accord with the policy of build
ings replacing parking lots.
This practice is justified by
promises of huge parking areas
across the tracks, a campus tran-

sit system, and a central concrete
wasteland called the mall. None
of these projects will help the
current problem. The new lots,
if built,, will be too far away for
day students, so dorm students
will be given the privilege of
having their cars stripped even
more thoroughly than they are
now. There is no way to finance
a campus bus system; even so,
there won’t be any streets left
to run it on. The mall will con
tinue to destroy street parking
in the name of beautification.
The impending demolition of
Military Walk is part of this
process.
The university planners have
had a free hand in creating our
present problem. Unless their
plans are revised, we will have
the greatest campus transporta
tion fiasco on earth. To prevent
this, the traffic committee needs
to raise some hell with whoever
authorizes buildings on streets
and/or parking lots. A little
more static may help find a
more realistic and workable solu
tion.
The air hammers and bulldoz
ers of Military Walk aren’t de
stroying staff parking spaces.
They’re moving day student,
freshman, and Senior Row
Spaces to Easterwood.
Steve Terry
Believe it or not, A&M’s park
ing situation is better than that
of most other universities this
size. Most others don’t allow
freshman parking, some even
sophomores. There is planning
being done to have buses of sorts
running through the campus
when the mall is finished. —Ed.
