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

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.

“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

Store profits will meet Monday.
The meetings will be held at

everyone to attend,” said Letbet

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

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.

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.
