Col. John Glenn in his history-making expedition last Tues-
day exemplified two traits which have made early pioneers
in America revered and respected"individuals. These two traits
are daring and patriotic responsibility.
Daring! All through''American history, men have come
forth to serve our country. You know these men as well as we,
so listing them and their achievements would only belittle
their contributions into inexpressible wording. Nonetheless,
John Glenn is an unmistakable example of these types of men.
A man such as he who must attempt a feat which has never
before been tried by an American must certainly be a man of
great courage, fortitude and daring.
Patriotic responsibility! As the pioneer fathers exhibited
this responsibility, so has John Glenn. Although there were
other astronauts who might have done this job, Glenn was the
one chosen, and Glenn was the one who served his country.
As long as men such as Col. John Glenn are among the
ranks of responsible Americans, we will never have to worry
about facing space, the Communists or ourselves.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
QoUen St ears
R
oiver
Every duly enrolled student of Texas Wesleyan College
should haver the right of equal vote in all campus-related
elections. . «
Many years ago when the amendment to the Constitution
of the Student Association concerning election rules was
adopted, the freshmen were limited to one-half vote each. Per- Program?"
haps this idea was not given enough consideration.

This week's wearer of the Gold-
en Shears, David Buckman, is a
sophomore pre-med major from
Fort Worth.
In his freshman year at TWC,
he pledged Sakkara Social Club
and was elected president of his
pledge class. He was- '.'best pledge"
for his club also. This year he is
serving as secretary of Sakkara.
.? '
We feel that freshmen, whethef*»they know those people
who might be running or not, whether they are competent to
vote or not, whether they will vote in blocs or not, should be
given the right of equal Vote as much as the upper classmen.
Possibly many of the upperclassmen are not intelligent voters,
or at least they are as competent in their voting as many fresh-
men. This is, of course, a relative problem.
All four classes should probably have equal voting power,
because the results of elections many times affect the entire-
student body.
Our country was built on the democratic idea of equality
of vote. This has worked well for the United States, whether
the voter was 21 or 101, so the results of the elections on
campus should be the "will of the majority" whether the "will"
is dominated by the freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors.
