THINK! THINK! THINK for yourselves. Don't believe
every unsubstantiated thing you read! Don't be vulnerable to
everything printed in book form and sold on the local news-
stand for one dollar. , _
As an example of such printed material let us cite the
work of a "Texan" who claims to have looked at Lyndon.
As pne delves into this printed potpourri of allegations,
one's curiosity is aroused to fevei\pitch. One reads on look-
ing for substance for the charges of the "Texan" for some-
thing concrete, definite, conclusive — then suddenly there
it is — THE END.
To cite a few of his proofless allegations, we read that
"the marble mausoleum called the Rayburn Library, was
built in part by political shakedown" Now, what we would
like to know is what part and who was shook.down? The only
clue the "Texan" gives us is that it was "subservient fat cats.'
Now, when we find the "fat cats" we will have our an-,
swer. (This is only one example of such unfounded assertions
made by the book's author.) Yet, there are those who gather
around the courthouse and talk just as-seriously about it as
if it were some profound pronouncement.
The "Texan's" reasoning eludes me completely at times.
We find that it was rather immoral for the Young Texas
Senator, Lyndon B. Johnson, to support the President in the
hectic days immediately before and during WW II. After all
a President doesn't need the support of the people or the
Senate just because the country is involved in a World War.
LBJ is given "what for" for having been supported and
endorsed by FDR. Well, we can name Tor you right nbw a Re-
publican Presidential candidate who would give his eye-teeth
for the endorsement of a couple of New York Senators.
, While the "Texan" continues to rave and imagine vam
things, to quote garage mechanics, we continue to wonder
where the garage mechanic got his information. Ever wonder
about that? We have. (Now, we aren't trying to discredit our
good mechanics, because heaven knows we couldn't get along
without them.)
Incidentally, according to the "Texan" who looks at
Lyndon, practically everyone in Texas politics who doesn't
agree with him is a communist. Since communism seems to
be his scarecrow, we don't see why they didn't print the
t book in red ink and give the author some way-out psuedo like
"Little Red Writin' Hood.*'- *• : " » " «*
Let's hope that as "Texans Look at Lyndon" on November
3 they will THINK, THINK, THINK, for themselves.

This week's recipient of the
Golden Shears is Spurgeon Dun-
nam, senior humanities major
from Longvievv, Toxrfs.
A graduate of Pasadena High
School in 196i, Dunnam is inter-
ested in music and reading.
He is presently serving as youth
director at the Aldersgate
Methodist Church, and is vice-
president of the Student Senate,
chaplain of Omega Chi, and
treasurer of Alpha Chi. He is also
active in MSM.
The Sophs scored in the first
quarter on a run by Jerry Norris
and a successful conversion, which
made the score 8 to 0. The game
was a tug-of-war the rest of the
game until the final quarter when
the Sophs scored again and the
conversion was again successful.

To the editor of the TWC Rambler,
■s'k/prtn reading the ej&ellent poli-
tical articles written by D.W.II.,
I resigned myself to the fact that
seemingly TWC offers no one cap-
able of presenting the Democratic
point view in a similar,'"positive
manner.
However, it did not require much
further reading to discover the re-
ligious and social pessimism of the
same author (Gadfly, Sept. 29, Oct.
20).
In comparison of the philosophies
expressed (social, religious and po-
litical) I was both surprised and
amused to find that one so in
l'avor of extending individual re-
sponsibility could portray humani-
ty in such similitude of the death-
in-life theme of the once popular
Wastelanders.
Perhaps the humanity "search-
ing for the page of illusion," but
"finding the agony of comprehen-
sion" (Whatever that means), is
not the same humanity to which
D.W.H. advocates giving more re-
sponsibility. At any rateJt is cer-
tainly not his cxamplrtjftjgUK "men
created in God's in
In the typical style of the Gold-
water-oriented David claims gov-
ernment as "God omnipotent," of-
fering government as a panacea for
the ills of the people. He then of-
fers the people ("increased indivi-
dual responsibility") as a panacea
for the ills of government . . . and
look how he describes the people.
Throw in a statement on John-
son's lack of policy, declare Gold-
water's policy as "following the
Eisenhower line" (at least Ike
didn't give anything away that
was ours), and you have a recipe
that even the Republicans find
hard to take.
Goldwater, \Vho talked of dis-
mantling the T.V.A. in a speech in
Memphis, Tenn.. who slammed the
TFX contract in a speech in Fort;
Worth and who damned medicare
in such states as California and
Florida (well populated by the
elderly) has shown his ability to
confuse the ideal with reality.
Like Linus in the comic strip
titled "Peanuts" (Doy^u ever get
around to that section David?)
! '
Goldwater has talked himself out
of the election. j\
Maybe wg^i^doKs more David
but- vvK lovj^Bfe1# articles which
are converting more to the L.B.J,
camp than the Young Democrats.
I await your next one with a dic-
tionary in one hand and a pre-
diction of a landslide for L.B.J, in
the other.
Respectfully,
Michael D. Burt
Dear Editor:
I think the pro-Democratic
writer of last week's Rambler is
eithojfc one of the most misin-
formed or one of the most nar-
row-minded advocates of antURe-
publicanism in the world.
She "brilliantly similes" that Re-
publicans use "rote-learned texts
of generalities so loopy they look
like mohair." This sounds more
like Johnson's speeches except he
seems incapable of memorizing
texts.
It strikes me that when Senator
Goldwater says he's against medi-
care, or he thinks members of the
UN should be forced to pay their
debts, these statements are hardly
identifiable as "generalities."
On the other hand, just what
has Johnson said about his con-
victions toward medicare or the
UN debts? That seems to be some
of LBJ's characteristics of evading
issues so no segment of the people
will be insulted.
Possibly the trend toward so-
cialistic laws doesn't concern yoit,
or maybe you personnally advo-
cate such, but either way you
should exploit your ideas more
thoroughly. Just the threat of so-
cialized medicine, which would be
closer fipon .us by passage of the
medicare bill, is enough „to make
one shiver. *
The American Medical Assoe$&
tion has sponsored commercials on
T\ to show that medicare for the
aged is already available. In fact,
Texas also has passed such a bill
and an amendment of the same
nature will hfc- Voted upon this
election.
