YAP favors big bark for Provo
By B. A. KERMAjJ
Thresher Political Analyst
"A bark, not an echo!" "Write
in the underdog!" "Don't waste
your vote!" "Provo for Sena-
tor!" "PROVO LIVES!!!"
So sounds a small sample
from the rabidly increasing
chorus greeting the rise of a
bright new star (Sirius, of
course) in the bleak, black night
of Texas politics: Provo the
Pooch, write-in candidate for
the United States Senate.
How can this be? A mutt
running for the Senate? Why
would a sane dog do such a
thing? The answers to these
questions are to be found cross-
town at the University of Hous-
ton, where the national head-
quarters of the Young Ameri-
cans for Provo (YAP) is lo-
cated.
Provo Explicit
According to Robert Wren,
YAP barksman and sometime
English prof, the Curageous
Canine was provo-ked into
seeking office by the growing
pawsibility that Waggoner
Carr and John Tower (The
Democratic and Republican
nominees) are the same man.
In contrast to his supposedly
human opponents, Provo has es-
tablished an explicit platform,
covering all of the vital issues
of the day.
For example, she (that's
right, she) promises, if elected,
to conduct an extended tour of
Baker All-School Party
The

Six Pents will play
Saturday 9-1

Atascocita Country Club
the Far East, including Hawaii
and Viet Nam, for her staff
and YAP leaders. She is defi-
nitely in favor of Viet Nam.
Draft Dogger?
On the question of George
Hamilton and the U. S. Army,
she feels that under no circum-
stances should dogs be drafted.
She is against all forms of ear-
pulling, and opposes dog-eat-dog
foreign policy.
Provo has equally provo-
cative ideas on such local con-
troversies as air pollution, Hous-
ton's famous Gulf sign, and
civic improvements.
She feels that air pollution
is understood by very few dogs
and that all cities should have
dog-eye-level signs warning that
"Breathing city air may be
harmful to your health." Dogs,
Provo poignantly points out,
are the innocent victims of
humankind's drive toward self-
destruction.
Gulf Too Large
The Gulf sign, Provo claims,
is not only too tall, but also
far too large to be used effec-
tively by even a male dog. Along
these same lines, she favors
city beautification through in-

The Provo band-waggin' offi-
cially gets rolling tomorrow
evening with a political rally
( complete with catcalls ) at
10:00 pm, at Old Market Square,
pending approval from the
Houston City Council. Rally
'round the wag, boys!
According to Wren, activity
in Provo's behalf shouldn't tail
off when the fur-flying in-
creases as election eve draws
near. In fact, he feels Provo
has a fair chance to get elected:
"After all, Provo is a good dog
—can Carr or Tower say as
much ? "
Asked to comment on rumors
that LBJ is coming to Texas
to campaign for Carr and/or
Tower just to keep dogs out
of public of ice, Wren simply
winked and cited the Bark of
Avon's immortal words:
Let Hercules himself do what
he may,
The cat will mew and the
dog will have his day.
