THE BATTALION
good student struggling with ma
terial he could grasp, if he had
the time, grapples with his con
science: Athlete X would pass if
I wrote this paper, and who would
be the worse for it? Yet most
tutors I have known do not give
in, generally because his employ
ers—the Athletic Department—
won’t allow it.
Periodically someone attacks
tutoring, especially tutoring of
athletes. My experience is that
those same people head up lines
of students screaming for the
coach’s head after a season when
the school could not get and keep
good material.
I hope A&M won’t be mis-lead
by unsupported allegations.
Incidentally, I don’t really give
a damn about intercollegiate ath
letics. And I never played foot
ball.

As athletes of the TAMU foot
ball, basketball, and baseball
teams, we wish to endorse JOE
HUGHES for junior yell leader
for 1973-74. We feel Joe is the
kind of guy who would do a great
job as a yell leader for all Aggies,
as he demonstrated to us last
year when he was a fish yell lead
er. Therefore, we urge everyone
to vote tomorrow, and hope that
the members of the CLASS OF
’75 will consider JOE HUGHES
and elect him their junior yell
leader for next year.

Saturday afternoon I tried to
get into the upstairs gym in G.
Rollie White Coliseum to play
basketball. I was met by a
locked door and a sign that read
“NO BASKETBALL UNTIL
BADMINTON TOURNAMENT
DOWNSTAIRS IS OVER”. Now
I was fully aware that a bad
minton tournament on the main
floor was in progress, but I fail
to see why students should be
denied access to sports facilities
that we have already paid for in
our building use fee, especially
when they are not in use.
It was bad enough when intra
mural volleyball took up the in
door baskets, but why lock the
doors when nothing is scheduled
on the floor at all? I guess the
dribbling vibrations upstairs
would disturb the badminton
tournament downstairs, but then
again, I didn’t know Bobby Fisch
er was entered in the tourna
ment.
The basketball and handball
facilities on campus are designed
for 6,000 Aggies. Well now there
are over 15,000 Ags on campus,
and it sometimes takes an hour
of waiting or more to use these
facilities. If A&M can afford a
new jock dorm, why can’t A&M
afford sports facilities for the
majority of students?

We feel that David White is
the best qualified candidate for
the position of Student Govern
ment Treasurer. He is currently
Treasurer of the Residence Hall
Association and a member of
SCONA Finance Committee. In
addition to being experienced in
the operations of the Student Fi
nance Office, he was the out
standing Sophomore in the Col
lege of Business and the recipi
ent of an Outstanding Account
ing Award. He intends to tight
en control over financial expendi
tures and obtain more student
input on student fee allocations.
He has the honesty, ability, and
willingness to work. We there
fore support David White for
Student Government Treasurer.

Your use of The Battalion as a
vehicle to support a slate of can
didates for the top offices of the
student body is unfair. It is not
unfair only to the other candi
dates, but to the students them
selves. The Battalion is at least
partially financed by Student
Services fees, and to use the
paper to promote the election of
your candidates seems to me to
be in violation of what should be
neutrality of the Batt in the
election.
You may say that you have
editorial privilege and use that
as a basis for your partisanship,
but when yours is the only cam
pus newspaper and you hold a
monopoly on influencing an elec
tion, then you have overstepped
your boundaries as editor.
You may also say that I can
write a letter to the editor sup
porting my candidate, but, that is
hardly comparable to the scope
of influence of your editorial.
It is too late to change what
you have done, but I think you
are wrong and should publicly
admit that you are.

This letter is to endorse the
candidacy of Shariq Yosufzai for
student body vice president.
Shariq’s experience on the Senate
is several times the combined
experience of the other three can
didates and as such he is truly
the only qualified candidate.
Shariq Yousfzai has a plat
form that is outstanding and
identifies the main areas of stu
dent needs. Shariq has worked
extensively in the Senate as pres
ident pro tern and earlier as a
senator on several committees
and his record points to his truly
outstanding stature as a leader
and as a source of innovative
ideas. We wholeheartedly recom
mend Shariq Yosufzai to the stu
dent body as the only serious
candidate for student body vice
president.

Stonehenge
Movie Slated
Open To Public
A full negth feature film, “The
mystery of Stonehenge,” will be
shown free to all interested stu
dents Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the
main auditorium of the Zachry
Engineering Center.
The color movie, produced in
1965 by CBS, presents an account
of Stonehenge, a prehistoric stone
monument in England. It investi
gates the theories as to how and
when it was built and tests the
idea that Stonehenge served as
an observatory for determining
astronomical calculations.
Only one showing of the film
will be made. It is being sponsored
by the Sociology and Anthropolo
gy Department.
President Vetoes $2.6-Billion
Vocational Rehabilitation Bill
WASHINGTON <A>)_President
Nixon vetoed a $2.6-billion voca
tional rehabilitation measure
Tuesday and warned Congress of
a potential 15 per cent hike in
personal income taxes if it passes
bills that exceed his budget.
Nixon, citing for the first time
the dimensions of a possible tax
boost, said the vetoed authoriza
tion bill would increase his budget
recommendations by $1 billion
over a three-year period.
“If,” he said in a message to
Congress, “we allow the big
spenders to sweep aside budget
ary restraints, we can expect an
increase of more than $50 billion
in federal spending before the end
of fiscal year 1975.
“This would force upon us the
unacceptable choice of either rais
ing taxes substantially—perhaps
as much as 15 per cent in personal
income taxes—or inviting a hefty
boost in consumer prices and in
terest rates.”
Declaring that $1 billion “may
seem only a small crack in the
dam,” he said more than a dozen
other pending measures “also car
ry extravagant price tags.” They
will be vetoed if they reach his
desk, he vowed.

Interest Rate Hike Okayed
AUSTIN (A>)_A bill jacking up
interest rates on $300-$l,000 loans
won tentative House approval
Tuesday with the proposed new
rates considerably lower than the
sponsor had sought.
The House plans to take a final
vote Wednesday on the measure,
which advanced on second read
ing, 79-52.
Rep. Bill Clayton, D-Spring-
lake, the sponsor, said the meas
ure was “consumer orientated”
and would put enforcement of the
federal truth-in-lending law in
the hands of the state consumer
credit commissioner, not the fed
eral government.
Debate centered, however, on
the provision kicking the interest
ceiling on $300-$l,000 loans from
the present 8 per cent add-on to
12 per cent. Simple interest rates,
computed on the unpaid balance,
are approximately double add-on
rates. That meant the requested
increase was from 16 to 24 per
cent, simple interest.
Clayton said several times that
this was the interest level recom
mended by “President Johnson’s
consumer commission.”
The present Texas finance
charge for a $500 loan for one
year is $70, he said, ranking 43rd
in the nation.
“I think it is just overburden
ing the people who are least able
to pay,” Rep. Carlos Truan, D-
Corpus Christi, said of the bill.
