“FOR” THE BONUS
Editor, The Battalion:
In reply to the juvenile, infan
tile reasoning sent in by Mr. Jerry
r. Breen, Jr., we would like to
send in our two-bits worth. In the
first place, we are here,: more or.
Jess, alive, no thanks to people like
Vou. We don’t know what outfit
you were in (if any) during the
war, but it sounds like you were
-‘captain of the head” somewhere
in the states. . : 4 i ! if
; First, in answer to your predic
tion that “the veterans of Aggie-
land have to pla>* Mary's Little
laimb to a bunch of TIT zoot-soot-
trs,” we shall have to infbrm you
that most of the A&M students
(except a few like you) are in*
telligent enough to make up their
own minds on ANY issue, without
reading The Daily Texan to see
which way TU voted in order to
vote exactly the t)nposite. ;
We are voting “for”, and as to
your inference that some of the
voters “for” have no! backbone, let
f us say that one of us survived ac-
rtive duty for three years in the
Pacific and France, and another
itkreO and one-half years as a
,;“guest” of the Imperial Japanese
Army in Singapore. Try this on
[your backbone. j , ;
Since you are so Well': informed:
as to what takes place oyer at the
Forty Acres and our state capital,
>just tell them that while they are
[“squandering” the state’s money
: (as you say they are),' just “squan-
■der” a little over in our direction.
We, the $90 u month i>Wn of ole
Aggieland, could certainly use that
bonus, as of now!
As to our being “too lazy to work
charge is for the “rich” sauce that
is served With the weiners.
The prices of these items lead.Us
to wonder if othdr items arc not
slmiliarly Overpriced.

Miss Carson entered WesUninis-

course without previous profession

ever, directed a Presbyterian
Church Choir in Goose Creek, and
had sung second alto in other
choirs. After the course was over,
her class was able to present in
concert 13 anthems from memory.

and head of the college, is the kind

BETTER HIDING PLACES
Editor, The Battalion'*, j j j-
It seems that everyone lately has
been wondering about the price of
milk bottles that are broken in
Duncan and Sbisa Halls. We are
wondering about the price of Cer
tain items offered in the cafeterias.
There has beph a lot of talk about
the *Tiidden costs.” We wish they
would hide some of the cost of
food bought in these establish
ments. We have looked into the
matter some and have come up
with these rather startling facts.
