Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, September 21, 1972 Listen Up— CADET SLOUCH by jim Earie Tjcket System Challenged Editor: When the lady at the Coliseum ticket office told me Friday that all tickets to the L.S.U. game had been bought Monday by sen iors and graduates students, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that so few people could buy so many tickets so quickly. Also, it does not seem fair to me that they should be able to do so. I say that juniors, sopho mores and freshmen have just as much right to go to the game as seniors and graduates. I also feel that graduate students, many of whom probably never did un dergraduate work here, should have to buy their tickets from public sources, not student. I feel tickets would also be more evenly distributed among Exchange Store Funds Applicants To Hold Meeting In MSC Monday the student body if everyone were allowed to pick up only his own tickets. When a limited number of tickets are available they should be apportioned evenly to each class with any left over be ing sold after all have had fair chance to buy them. I believe it is about time that the university took a look at their present distribution policies, and do away with this discriminatory system. James Breedlove *75 “This is a startling finding! Since hitchiking among Aggies has dropped off during the last few years, there has been significant deterioration of thumb muscles as you can see!” Representatives from clubs ap plying for allocation of Exchange Store profits will meet Monday. The meetings will be held at 5:15 p.m. in the MSC in Rooms 2A and 2B for departmental and professional clubs and in Rooms 2C and 2D for non-departmental and professional clubs, said San ders Letbetter, club aid advisor. “Attendance to the meeting is not mandatory, but we encourage everyone to attend,” said Letbet ter. Club representatives can give an explanation of the application for funds, a financial statement and budget sheet for club funds, Viewpoint Cowboys And Camel Jocks By Sam Bays Ever heard the saying “oppor tunity ignored is experience fore gone?” Or how about “oppor tunity never knocks twice?” I suppose that most everybody has listened to these old axioms, or to others that say about the same thing, at least a few more times than they care to remember. Such truisms remain among the peren nial favorites of concerned, fore warning parents as they pack their slightly bored sons and daughters off to the great uni versity. And with considerably differ ent implications, they are occa sionally voiced among upperclass men while eying a potentially in our university. But. we seldom go any further. We don’t often think about the fact that international students should also have the opportunity to experience the American socie ty beyond the immediate Bryan- College Station area. Frequent criticisms not withstanding, our society does have valuable and humane qualities of which we can be justifiably proud. And a full er awareness of these strengths by international students can pro vide an essential leavening for their views of the United States. Just as importantly, we natives have the opportunity to gain ex posure to different ideas and in- companionable member of the op posite sex. Yet independent of the circumstance in which these old sayings are expressed, they do convey a fundamental truth no less important because the words used to express it afe familiar and perhaps a little trite. In the Texas A&M University community many opportunities exist. One only partially under stood or often overlooked alto gether is provided by the inter national students here. We are usually quite willing and some times boastfully eager to point out that these students enjoy the marvelous opportunity of study Bulletin Board TONIGHT THE MSC Radio Committee will meet at 7:30 in the MSC. Health and Physical Education Majors will hold an organiza tional meeting in the MSC Ball room at 7:30. The El Paso Hometown Club will meet in Rooms 2A and 2B of the MSC at 7:30. SATURDAY The Community Development Organization will meet at 605 Payson in College Station at 9 a.m. to prepare for the upcom ing open house. sights about ourselves and the world. Certainly the attitudes and views that these students bring to the US are not all neces sarily divergent from our own nor always valid. (We can safely assume that no one grows up completely free of bias and prej udice.) But we can look briefly, if sometimes painfully, through the eyes of these people and de velop new views. Such opportunities can become available only through the coor dinated, purposeful efforts of the university administration and the various student organizations, in cluding the international stu dents. We must all work to re move the barriers, both physical and social, that block interaction. We must end any arbitrary seg regation of foreign students in campus housing and actively en courage personal contacts. We must be patient with language difficulties and understanding of the embarrassment they some times cause. None of us, Ameri cans or otherwise, can afford to assume the posture of defensive conceit and false pride. “Cowboy” and “camel jock” are sadly poor labels for students to apply to other students at A&M. They are especially dis tasteful because they are un necessary. Che Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

Senate Considers Lobby (Continued from page 1) A resignation from the Judicial Committee has brought about in terviews and the need to vote for replacing a graduate student member. Jim Behling will be up for approval for this remaining graduate seat. The Student Services Fee Al location Committee will also be appointed in the Senate meeting. The committee draws up a budg et for recommendation to the Senate. The Senate will discuss the budget at several meetings, make any necessary changes and submit final recommendations to university officials. The committee has the respon sibility of finding where fees are needed to benefit the student body best. Approximately $900,- 000 will be distributed for the students’ best interest each year. “In the past the committee started functioning so late that it was the middle of the second semester before action was taken towards fee allocation,” said Layne Kruse, Student Govern ment President. This year ap pointments are being made early so studies will not be so late in being initiated. Senate meetings are open for all students interested. DID YOU KNOW?
