the senior election, 124 votes
would have to have been affect
ed. In a like manner, for the jun
ior election, the margin of vic
tory was 134! Reasonable doubt
was not shown by Mr. White’s
small number of statements. The
invalidation of the April 4 elec
tion was a hastily-made decision
based on incomplete facts and was
completely unfair to the students
who won the election and the stu
dent body as a whole. Now, the
money all students pay to attend
this university must be wasted
on a senseless election. I call upon
the election board to reconvene
and reverse their unjust decision.
If the board insists on carrying
out this farce, I urge all students
to reaffirm the winners of the
previous election: G. I. Lasseter,
’75; Charlie Scott, ’75; Steve Tay
lor, ’75; Chuck Hinton, ’76; Jim
Bob Mickler, 76.

Records law
applies to
health reports
AUSTIN UP) _ Health inspec
tors’ reports must be made avail
able to the public, Atty. Gen.
John Hill ruled Monday.
Hill’s interpretation of the Tex
as Open Records Act went to
City Atty. J. Bruce Aycock of
Amarillo.
Aycock asked specifically about
the availability to the public of
copies of the county health de
partment’s order that a cafeteria
shut down until it had corrected
certain violations of health stan
dards. He also asked about mak
ing health inspection reports on
another cafeteria available.
“We have found no law—statu
tory, judicial or donstitutional—
that would make the requested in
formation confidential,” Hill said.
Appeal ‘legal 9
Editor:
It seems questions have arisen
as to why the Judicial Board
would reconsider an appeal and
then reverse its ruling from 5-4
to 7-0. The fact is that it is all
quite legal and if it were not for
this board our student govern
ment might fall on its face with
out proper checks and balances
of power.
This decision opened the gate
to the possibility of a controver
sial and dirty campaign that
could split the student body on
the very issue that should solidi
fy it behind A&M athletics. For
their admirable response in fail
ing to make this new campaign
a slurred one, all yell leader can
didates are to be commended.
The campaigns have been run as
if this new one was the first. On
this count alone the yell leader
candidates have each shown
themselves deserving of the posi
tion they are aspiring to.
It is quite ridiculous to let an
unfortunate election split a cam
pus, particularly when the pros
pects for football this season
look so promising. With the re
turning material, ’74-’75 should
be the “Year of the Ags.” As a
student body that loves athletics
we need to make sure the play
ers get the kind of support they
deserve. Tomorrow is election
day and this time let’s unite be
hind whoever is elected, be it ci
vilian, Corps or Aardvark.

Unity asked
Editor:
There is no doubt in my mind
that Jeff Christensen expended
many valuable personal resources
in his quest for junior yell leader.
It is clearly evident by his letter
to the Batt on April 10 that he
was very interested in the posi
tion . . . but so were seven other
guys. I think that the statement
he made, that Chuck Hinton and
Jim Bob Mickler were elected
junior yell leaders only because
of the type of clothes they wear,
is completely ridiculous. He also
said that they “didn’t put forth
half the effort” that he did and
that “the corps has once again
demonstrated that they do not
want help and support from
civilians.”
I feel that Jeff has made a
gross mistake in his statements.
I know both Chuck and Jim spent
several hours campaigning for
the position of junior yell leader.
In their campaign they met hun
dreds of people, including civilian
men and women, because they
both felt that it was very im
portant to get out and let every
one know what kind of men they
are and their qualifications for
: the position. And let it be known
that they did not use the fact that
they are in the Corps as a quali
fication ! They both want to serve
this great university as civilian
and Corps representatives.
Neither Chuck nor Jim would
have been elected junior yell
leader the first time if it hadn’t
been for the civilian vote.
This university does need to
work toward growing together
and working on a common goal.
It is very important that anyone
holding a major student body
position have the help and sup
port of the civilians and the
Corps. Let’s bring the two words,
civilian and Corps together and
begin using the term—Texas
A&M University Students.

Parr backed
Editor:
We, the members of the TAMU
football squad, encourage all the
sophomores to get out and vote
this Wednesday for Joe Parr for
junior yell leader. We feel Joe
will make an ideal yell leader, one
we will be proud to have on Kyle
Field next year. We will need his
kind of enthusiasm as we enter
our 1974 football season. We sup
port Joe Parr and encourage all
sophomores to do the same. Get
out and vote for Joe Parr!

Civilians 9 fault
Editor:
(Re: Jeff Christensen’s letter,
Batt, April 10)
I’m afraid I must strongly dis
agree with Jeff when he said
“The Corps has once again dem
onstrated that they do not want
help and support from civilians.
. . ” because of the results of the
yell leader elections. If he and
others will only stop and think,
we civilians outnumber the guys
in the Corps greatly. The main
difference between the two is
that many civilians are apathetic
when it comes to voting and just
don’t bother to take the time to
do so. Civilians could vote any
body into office regardless of the
number of Corpsmen voting if
they really cared enough to vote.
It’s unfair to say that we will
never get anyone elected because
of the Corps. If we don’t vote,
then we can’t blame the Corps for
the results of the elections. The
fault is ours and not theirs.

Taylor ‘best 9
Editor:
We would like to re-state our
support of Steve Taylor for sen
ior yell leader. We believe he
would be the best choice for the
position. He worked hard for the
A&M football team for two years,
and we know that he would have
the same enthusiasm as a yell
leader.

Convention chairman Bob
Stahl says he is pleased with
Aggiecon V.
“I had a hell of a lot of fun.
In fact, I don’t know of anyone
who didn’t.
“It was a good way to spend
the money,” Stahl said.
He estimates that the commit
tee broke about even on the con
vention.
“The club wanted to have one,
and I knew we could do one the
people at A&M would enjoy.
“Where else can you get 14

Do you have any conception of
what it is like to sit through 25
hours of movies?
Mike Perrin, who saw all the
movies at Aggiecon, says, “It
was a lot of movies.”
He said he was hoping to per
ceive the interrelationships be
tween the movies.
“I sure did. As the evening
went on it became harder and
harder to separate the movies. I
saw three or four scenes I was
sure I’d seen earlier.
“Last night I went over to
watch ‘The Serpent.’ I’m really
developing an appetite for films,”
Perrin said.
