CADET SLOUCH

In Senate
Nixon
pressures
for draft bill
FOR
BEST
RESULTS
TRY
WASHINGTON (A>)—President
Nixon put pressure on Congress
Thursday to pass military draft
legislation, which is scheduled
for a Senate vote Friday.
The bill combining a two-year
extension of draft authority and
a $2.4 billion pay raise for mili
tary personnel has been passed
by the House but stalled in the
Senate. Vietnam war critics and
senators opposed to any draft
law say they will fight it.
If Congress fails to continue
the draft authority, which ex
pired last June 30, Nixon said
the result would make the United
States “the second strongest na
tion in the world with all the im
plications that has.”
Highway to be wet today between
College Station and Baton Rouge
Highways will be wet today
between College Station and Ba
ton Rouge.
A&M football followers head
ing for the Louisiana State game
can expect daytime rainshowers
today and Saturday, the result of
a front that is expected to be
oriented through Central and
North Texas.
A forecast issued by the Me
teorology Department weather
station at A&M says the front
will move further south—on a
Central Texas-Northern Louisiana
line—by Saturday and probably
stall.
“It will cause widespread thun
dershowers Saturday in Southern
Louisiana,” predicted station me
teorologist Jim Lightfoot. “These
will continue to about halftime.”
At the 7:30 p.m. kickoff of the
A&M-LSU game in Tiger Sta
dium, skies will be cloudy with
intermittent light rainshowers,
wind out of the south at 10 to
12 mph, temperature 82 and rel
ative humidity 80 per cent, Light-
foot indicated.
Sunday morning return traffic
to College Station will find gen
erally favorable driving condi
tions, he added. Afternon thun
dershowers will again develop
however, mostly inland and in
Bryan and College Station dur- i
ing the afternoon and evening. !
Nixon said at a news confer
ence that scuttling of the draft
legislation would jeopardize in
ternational negotiations in which
the United States hopes to re
duce East-West armaments on a
basis of mutual agreement.
At the Capitol, Sen. Gordon
Allott, R-Colo., told the Senate
that the President has agreed to
support separate legislation to
boost the pay of servicemen in
the lowest grades more than the
bill provides.
This dampened the chances for
passage of a motion to table the
draft legislation, which Sen. Mike
Mansfield, D-Mont., said that he
will offer Friday.
A key issue is an amendment
sponsored by Mansfield calling
for withdrawal of all U.S. troops
in Indochina in nine months, pro
vided U.S. prisoners of war are
released. Senate House conferees
watered this down to call for an
end to U.S. military operations
in Indochina at the earliest prac
ticable date.
Allott said he will offer an
amendment to the military pro
curement bill, slated to be
brought up in the Senate after
the draft legislation, to add some
$300 million to pay raises for
servicemen, in addition to the in
creases in the draft bill.

Meanwhile, Army officials re
ported that less than one fifth
of their recent “true volunteers”
scored high in intelligence apti
tude tests, leading them to doubt
that the United States can field
a quality all volunteer force.
Army officials said it will take
more than pay increase to at
tract men equipped to handle to
day’s complex military gear.
These officials distinguish be
tween “true volunteers” and
those who volunteer under the
threat of being drafted in order
to get a good assignment.

Listen up
Apology made to coeds
Editor:
Equal time please, editor. In
the Wednesday, September 15 is
sue of The Battalion an article
was printed in the “Listen up”
column concerning maltreatment
of our coeds with a solitary fin
ger pointed at the Corps of Ca
dets.
We are certain that this gener
alization was made due to ignor
ance and lack of judgment and
probably as an excuse to con
demn those of us in uniform.
We are not prejudiced to the
extent that it blinds our senses,
so we will dispense with the re
mainder of our comments con
cerning the individual who sub
mitted the poorly researched ar
ticle.
We agree that the content of
his article has been blown out of
proportion and that it needs re-
evaluation. We find it hard to
picture a cadet, “yelling and
screaming” at a Maggie for inad
vertently walking across Spence
Park or even the Memorial Stu
dent Center grass. We do try to
inform people as to the presence
of Spence Park and ask that they
join us Aggies in honoring it,
just as we honor the grass at the
“C” as a memorial.
We hope this letter will serve
as an apology to those coeds and
civilians who might have been
(quoting the other article) “near
ly in tears,” because a cadet
thought he was helping a fellow
Ag’ learn more about campus
memorial traditions.
