THE BATTALION
Listen Up —
Aggies Support Arciniega Fan Club
Editor:
It has come to our attention
that there is occurring one of the
gx-eatest injustices ever to happen
in collegiate basketball and that
is the malady, the paradox, the
sad, sad story of Joe Arciniega.
We have attended many bas
ketball games both home and
away only to find that Joe Ar
ciniega, the spirit leader, and the
moral nucleus of the Texas A&M
basketball team, must warm the
bench. We are not criticizing the
other players or the coaches on
the team, for they have proven
their abilities. But the abilities of
Joe Arciniega lie untold, for in
warm-ups his 30 ft. jump shots
are knocked astray by a first
stringers practice shots.
We can never hope to change
the many ways in which Joe has
been concealed; but we do hope to
shed some light on the fact that
Joe Arciniega is more than a true
team leader, he is a true Aggie.
Therefore, we hereby announce
the first Official Joe Arciniega
Fan Club. We ask that all true
basketball fans, whether Aggie or
not, will realize the greatness of
Joe Arciniega and join with us in
bringing to light the recognition
that Joe so richly deserves. Joe
Arciniega Fan Club membership
certificates may be obtained free
of charge by sending a self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope to box
69fi4, College Station, Texas. We
close this letter with the fan club
motto: “We want Joe in the
show!”

Editor:
In reference to Jeremy Smith’s
letter on Feb. 20, I too am all for
Krueger-Dunn remaining coed be
cause I feel it is good for the uni
versity. However, Mr. Smith, I ob
ject to two of your comments.
First, you stated that if male stu
dents were replaced by female stu
dents in Dunn the facilities would
be wasted. I don’t feel that the
facilities would be wasted. In fact,
female students might make more
use of the facilities if male stu
dents were gone. (However, nei
ther you nor I wish to see male
students leave.)
Second, I object to your rather
rash statement that male students
at A&M were slobs before the
large registration of female stu
dents. Since you are a freshman
at A&M you probably are not fa
miliar with the appearance of stu
dents in previous years. Contrary
to your beliefs, I feel that stu
dents at A&M have always been
as well dressed or better dressed
than students of other universi
ties.
As you see, I do not object to
your belief that male students
should remain in Dunn. I agree
that the removal of male students
would not alleviate the housing
problem. Perhaps one solution to
the housing problem would result
if all the male students who have
been wanting and begging to get
off campus were allowed to find
off-campus housing. The consoli
dation of the remaining male stu
dents would create dorm space for
women wishing to live on campus.
This is not a permanent solution,
but it might create a little more
harmony until more coed dorms
can be built to receive A&M’s
ever growing student body.

Editor:
Being a resident of Hotard Hall,
I definitely feel that Hotard
should remain open to males.
The only justifiable reason for
moving the men out of Hotard is
to increase women’s on-campus
housing but it will only put it off
to a later date.
The facilities that the first floor
TV room have to offer are gen
erally used by the Sbisa help of
the Hotard Complex, even though
they are outnumbered by the up
per floor residents three to one.
This TV room costs over $32.50.
It would be wasteful if the facil
ities were not used, as they prob
ably would not, should the resi-
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
‘Caligula’
“It’s more fun to do something about the world’s problems
than to just fuss about them!”
(Continued from page 1)
Contesting Caligula are sena
tors who are unwilling that “pa
tricians should be forced every
evening to run circles around
Caesar’s litter.”
Their efforts to end Caligula’s
reign fire troubled by impracti-
calities.
“It takes a day to make a sen
ator and ten years to make a
skilled worker,” observes Helicon
(Charles Tyler), to which Calig
ula replies, “But I am very much
afraid that it will take 20 to make
a skilled worker out of a senator.”
The senators consider the rul
er’s philosophy an irrefutable one
“done in the most moral way”
since “it is better to tax vice than
to ransom virtue as republican
societies do.”
“Tyranny can be fought open
ly,” says Cherea (Audie Beeson),
“but cunning is necessary against
dispassionate wickedness.”

Players cast are Joe Tenant, Jim

dents of Hotard move out.
Hotard is by far the best dorm
on the A&M campus, and I feel
that all A&M students secretly
wish they could live in Hotard.
Present residents in Hotard would
strongly oppose living in differ
ent dorms after enjoying the lux
uries Hotard has to offer, such
as the second-floor Coke machine,
the third-floor phone and the
fourth-floor water fountain. What
right would the administration
have in trying to make us move?
Moving the residents out would
place the male and female stu
dents at the same end of the
campus. That would be ridiculous,
for A&M would resemble any
other coed campus. Before the ad
vent of girls on the A&M campus,
students were neat. Presently,
however, in Hotard, and in most
of the North Gate area, students
keep messy and unpresentable as
they want to look like slobs in
front of members of the same sex.
Hotard should remain open to
males. Let the administration
solve the women’s housing prob
lem some other way.
