Army Game Is Laid To Rest

Editor:
It’s about time all the flack
about the Army game is laid to
rest. The problem with most of
the Listen Up letters is that they
take very emotional, extreme
viewpoints and seem to forget
there are two sides to every is
sue. The critics of A&M's desire
have completely ignored the fact
that Army was playing at an
emotional peak they probably will
not be able to reach again until
they play Navy. They came here
to prove they were not as bad as
that 77-7 score indicated. Thus
they had everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
No team can play at an emo
tional peak week after week—ask
the pros. Last week Army had a
reason to be at that peak—A&M
didn’t. Against Tech it’s a differ
ent story. That’s the first game
that actually counts. Meanwhile
let’s give credit where credit is
due—to Army. They proved once
again that some good can be sal
vaged from an adversity. Now
it’s our turn — both the team’s
and the fans’. If we do, that loss
could be far more beneficial than
the expected easy win could have
ever been.
Mrs. C. C.’s letter demonstrat
ed that the fans are in no posi
tion to make qualitative judge
ments about the attitude of the
players. Certainly, the column by
Henry and letters by Cathey,
Baskin, Hoyt and Williams have
been blatantly charged with emo
tionalism. Unfortunately Mrs. C.
C. then committed the same type
of emotional mistakes as those
she was castigating. Again there
are two sides to every issue. If
the fans are going to become
emotionally excited about a win,
then naturally they are going to
Journalists’ Responsibilities
be emotionally disappointed over
a loss. I doubt the players would
really want it any other way. If
they do not desire the emotional
involvement of the fans, then
they should stick to sand lot foot
ball.
All of which brings back the
original premise. The game and
the mistakes made by both the
team and the fans are history.
We can learn from them and
profit by them, but now is the
time to prove Army is not the
only one that can come back from
an adversity. Beat the hell out
of Texas Tech.

Two Candidates-Four Men
(Continued from page 1)
Former President Lyndon
Johnson was one of the world’s
worst about hiding the truth, said
Anderson. Anderson said he only
once heard the real Lyndon John
son talking.
Johnson told him, ‘The worst
part of this job (the presidency),
is sending young men in the
prime of life into war and not
knowing whether or not they’re
going to come back. I have
trouble sleeping. I am responsi
ble for their deaths. I believe
that their deaths, their sacrifices,
will save millions of lives. I pray
about it but it’s hard to know
what God wants you to do.”
“I choke up physically at the
thought of losing my freedom,”
concluded Anderson.
MSC Appoints
There are no simple solutions
to the problems of this country,
Anderson went on to say.
“The most important job is not
to be President, but to be citizens.
As citizens you have a most im
portant function and your need
to know has priority over the
President’s need to know!” em
phasized Anderson.
Much of the information in
classified documents is informa
tion the public needs to know,
added Anderson. “A democracy
can only succeed if the people are
informed.”

making budget allocations were
approved. Content of these will
be printed later this week in the
Battalion.
The council also accepted a
gift from the art collection of Dr.
Frank J. Malina, whose kinetic
artwork had been on display in
the MSC Lobby. Two pieces, val
ued at $3,000, were accepted and
will be on tour with the rest of
his collections for about six
months before returning to A&M.
Joe Arredondo, 1972-73 Editor
of the Aggieland, was approved
by the Council to fill the vacancy
created by Pat Lucey when she
resigned her position as Vice-
President for Committees on the
Council.
Gary Reger, head of the MSC
Public Relations Organization,
was also approved to be the
Council Consultant. He will have
speaking privileges at the Coun
cil meetings and the same privi
lege if called on; for the MSC
Council Executive Committee
meetings.

hard to prove herself in the field
of journalism,” Savitch com
mented. “I was not qualified to
work in the field a year ago and
was refused many jobs, but now,
due to the increasing number of
women in the radio-TV field, I
am qualified to speak here as an
expert in my field.”
The profession requires total
dedication, Hollingsworth and Sa
vitch concurred.
The Dallas newspaper execu
tive told 202 TJCPA delegates
from 29 junior colleges the dedi
cation must apply equally to the
little day-to-day stories that
make up most of the news as well
as major news events.
“If a newsman can’t develop
interest in reporting trivia, he
can’t report major events,” Hol
lingsworth charged. “They are
all vital ... an obituary is very
important to someone.”
A veteran of 33 years with the
Times Herald during which he
was political reporter, city edi
tor, Washington bureau chief and
White House correspondent, he
said young people can find jour
nalism a “rich and grandly re
warding life,” if gone into with
the right attitude.
An aggressive journalist who
has used her purse to emphasize
her right to cover a story, Sa
vitch said wohrien have a few
advantages over men in journal
ism.
“Most people think,” she said,
“that if one is attractive, then
one is stupid. People tell things
to a stupid blond lady that they

normally wouldn’t tell a smart

The Channel 11 Sunday “News
watch” anchor reporter said she
would go to jail if subpoenaed
to reveal news sources.
Her most interesting story, Sa
vitch noted, was the McCall Road
train derailment and explosion in
Houston.
“I discovered journalists are
mortal,” she remarked. “We are
there as observers, and you think
in that capacity you can’t be
hurt. They said an overturned
tank car might explode, but my
cameraman suggested I turn my
back on it so the scene behind
me would make great film.”
“The next thing I remember,”
Savitch reported, “I found myself
face down in the dirt and flames
roaring over my head. Then I
was running like hell down the
road, hoping I could outrun the
flames.”
tered with trays and food splat
tered all over the tables. Since
I’ve been here I have failed to
see the reason why students do
not bus their own trays or why
they must be so sloppy in the
dining halls.
The quaity of food is not what
you will find at Clayton’s but for
the price I think it is a good deal.
I’ve spent twice as much for
board in another institution and
the food was very poor.
If Mr. Itzwowitz has really
lost 30 pounds, I suggest that he
sees a doctor—soon! There has
never been a student in Sbisa’s
history to starve on them.
If you think the plates are dir
ty I suggest you complain to the
State Health Department, who
after a comprehensive monthly
inspection passed the dining hall.
You can change things wrong
with Food Services by being on
the Student Menu Board or talk
with Mr. Dollar, Director of Food
Services. Things change only if
you get involved.

Why settle for a solid chrome ballpoint pen, a

There’s a slim, sleek multi-million dollar jet that
