Coming tune took its toll — two helpless Editor: I am writing this letter to The Battalion in reference to the attitude of the Editor throught (sic) this year. I'm a CT and proud of it. I’m not going to refer to any issue in general in this letter, but to your “projected” attitude throughtout (sic) the year. You have done nothing but encite (sic) dissention (sic) among Non-Reg’s — CT’s throughtout (sic) the year. As a newspaper man and a representative of the entire school (which includes both CT’s and Non-Reg’s) it is your duty to present facts and articles of interest to the school. However, throughout the year you have done nothing but pro ject your “petty” views of your dislike for the Corps of Cadets. Some of us (Aggies) would like to end this conflict between the two fractions (sic) and start living together as Aggies. Why don’t you help? I’m not inter ested in your “petty” views con cerning CT’s, as I’m sure that you are not interested in mine concerning Non-Reg’s. If you CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle want to be a trouble maker, go somewhere else. Robert Hedrick Class of ’73 Things you need to do: 1) Prove your point with spe cific, not your idea of “ ‘pro jected’ attitudes” or generaliza tions. 2) Remember that you don’t have to “dislike” something to criticize it. 3) Take remedial spelling. —Ed. ★ ★ ★ Editor: Wait!

See bear 08 M- Tora! Tora! Tora! great By D. P. FONTANA This weekend there will be hold-overs of both of the movies reviewed last week. Dirty Harry will play downtown at the Pal ace. So, if you missed Clint East- wood, San Francisco, or Lolita’s act last week, you now have an other chance. The historical accuracy of the film is superb, and the historical “fairness” in handling the events is exceptional. As you are prob ably aware, many veteran organ izations across the country re sented the “fairness” which was employed (as well as the fact that a Japanese film company There is also a good — though two years old — new movie in B-CS. Tora! Tora! Tora!, which is playing at the Campus, is guaranteed to cause an unofficial Corps Trip to that theatre. This movie will certainly appeal to anyone interested in history, militaria, or spectacle. This flick has been billed as the “most spec tacular movie ever filmed” and has some footage of the most elaborate model photography ever produced. The film also can boast of a very fine all-star (in ternational) cast. The movie is, of course, the story of the events surrounding the attack upon Pearl Harbor. The movie was co-operatively produced by Amer ican and Japanese film studios and released simultaneously on both sides of the Pacific. The American print of the film has English subtitles superimposed when the Japanese actors speak, and the print of the film for Japan subtitled the English dia logue. American actors in the film include Martin Balsam, James Whitmore, Joseph Cotton and E. G. Marshall. Japanese actors include Soh Yamamura, Takahiro Tamura, Tatsuya Mi- hashi, Eijiro Tono, and Koreya Senda. MSC Council has selected new officers The present Memorial Student Center Council has selected eight officers for next year’s council. Wade Seidel of Brenham was named Executive Vice-President of Projects and Pat Lucey of Bry an became Executive Vice-Presi dent of Committees. Vice-Presidents for Operations, Issues, Programs, and Recreation are Don Webb of Arlington, Ro chelle Lindsey of Pasadena, Mark Cuculic of Center, and Steve Waring of Houston, respectively. was splitting the profits from a movie dealing with Pearl Harbor with an American company. Peace makes strange bedfellows.) At any rate, the movie is well worth the $2 you’ll have to pay for its ticket, and this film de serves a Film G.P.R. = 3.2. Those of you who missed last weekend’s fare at the Palace, J. W. Coop, will find that it is also still in town. It and A Man Called Sledge will play at the Skyway Twin. On the other screen at the Twin, you will be able to see two really horrible horror movies. However, don’t dispair. The next feature at the Campus will be The Devils which is a very fine motion picture starring Va nessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed. This will definitely be a movie that you won’t want to miss. Nor will you want to miss Ryan’s Daughter, the next film at the Palace. This is another David Lean (Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhi vago) production and boasts a star-filled cast. Also named to the Council were Gary Reger of Wellborn as Pub lic Relations Directors and Caroll Flournoy of Breckenridge as Council Comptroller. The new officers will be re sponsible for working with coun cil and directorate activities. They will begin serving on the new council March 22. If you can’t wait for a new movie to arrive and have seen Tora! Tora! Tora!, you might try Houston (so far, no Frolic has been scheduled for this week end). And, if you are in Hous ton, try to get tickets to Clock work Orange. This is Stanley Kubrick’s (2001) new film and has already won Film Critic’s Award for both Best Picture and Best Producer for this year. However, be forewarned, this may be the most violence-filled film ever produced. €be Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

EDITOR HAYDEN WHITSETT Managing Editor Doug Dilley News Editor Sue Davis Sports Editor John Curylo Assistant Sports Editor Bill Henry uniform-pride-etc. caper. Coming from a school that has abso lutely no pride (I know because I attended Texas 1963-1967 and they have not had a single per son attend a football game since 1969, when the rumor swept the campus that Teresa Brewer would sing the National Anthem top-* less), Mr. Wigginton most cer tainly meant to ridicule the in stitution that had just hired him, in order to gain tenure. However, Mr. Calvert “72” was right on the beam when he wrote about paying'•the price (Batt Feb. 15). I paid my price . . . four years active duty in the Na vy. Now, whenever I see boys and girls (oldline Ags see Web ster’s under female n.) wearing bell-bottom dungarees, watch caps, chambray shirts, and God forbid, pea coats, I want to scream (C sharp, I think). I also want to run out and keelhaul their rudder, or spike them with my marlin, or kick them in their coxswain. You non-sailors better watch your step, boy. Les Palmer, Jr. ★ ★ ★ Editor: We would like to say some thing else concerning the rela tionship between Sam Houston State and Texas A&M. We have read the past letters written by a Sam Houston female student, but we too have a story to tell. After visiting the great uni versity last weekend, our return trip to Sam Houston on Sunday night was quite eventful. Before reaching Roans Prairie, misfor tune took its toll — two helpless females encountered themselves with a flat tire. Not being able to live up to the expectations of the Women’s Liberation Move ment, we found ourselves strand ed on the side of the road. Be fore experiencing sheer panic, a passing driver stopped to offer aid. Not only did he have to change a flat tire, but then had to take care of a weak battery. This good Samaritan was obvi ously an Aggie on his way to visit our beloved campus, Sam Houston State. The purpose of this letter is to thank not only this Aggie, but all other Aggies who have given of their time and patience to the stranded and helpless. We have high regard and respect for such A&M gentlemen. It is these common courtesies which foster friendly attitudes between our campuses. One Reminder: Aggies are wel come at Sam Houston anytime. Donna Dent Linda Rodriguez ★ ★ ★ Editor: In view of the recent successes of the A&M Rugby Club, I think the rugby players should get to use Kyle Field while everyone else, including the football team, uses the drill field. I hope that they would dig up all that fake plastic grass though, and play in the real grass and occasional mud as they did against Argen tina. It looks like it’s much more fun that way. Steven A.
