Editor:
I am writing this letter in re
sponse to the “incident” that oc
curred at the TCU game this
past weekend, and also in re
sponse to the change in attitudes
which I have noticed in the last
few months.
I would first like to say that,
even though I am a transfer stu
dent and only in my second year
here, I love this place like no
other. And, I think that the Corps
of Cadets is a fine organization
and that it has a definite im
portant place and function on this
campus. I base my opinion on
many reasons: . . . the perform
ance of the Fish Drill Team at
the Maroon and White Game last
year . . . Silver Taps . . . build
ing the Bonfire . . . Bonfire week
end . . . yell practice . . . foot
ball games . . . Muster. The list
goes on and on. When each in
dividual enters this university,
it is his choice to be a cadet or
a civilian student. There is no
reason for any conflict to arise.
Last year everybody “talked”
about uniting the Corps members
and the civilian students. This
is impossible. The Corps mem
bers and the civilians can never
be completely united. What we
were really talking about last
year, and what we are really
achieving this year, is a harmony
between the Corps members and
the civilians. I believe that no
individual should be allowed to
disrupt, delay, or otherwise en
danger this harmony which is
beginning to exist.
Concerning the “incident,” I
would like to point out that I
have never seen any Aggie start
any “trouble” at a football game
or anywhere else. As for the inci
dent, I watched the whole thing,
and I noticed that the Fish did
not push or shove or hit anybody.
They merely tried to get that
“sign.” The first pushing and
shoving was done by our head
yell leader, and the people being
shoved and pushed were our own
Aggie Fish!

Editor:
An incident of some signifi
cance occurred at the A&M-TCU
football game Saturday that may
have gone unnoticed by some of
the student body. A group of
TCU students, appropriately at
tired in black hats, were parad
ing a sign around the staidum.
The sign was, as you will un
doubtedly recall, not complimen
tary to our student body. It pass
ed without incident by the TCU
ex-students, the TCU faculty, and
a good number of A&M former
students.
However, when this little group
reached the end zone, they were
set upon by a fiery group of
young people in the eight-to-
twelve year old bracket. These
young people pelted the sign car
riers with any sort of trash and
debris they had at hand. It was
indeed a marvelous sight to be
hold—these Fort Worth young
sters going to the defense of
A&M! I could not help but won
der if the Corps did the correct
thing by showing restraint in
the face of this insult. I under
stand it was the right thing to
do, especially in view of the
prompt appearance of the riot
squad. But I hope we did not
tarnish our image less by re
sponding slowly than we may
have done by immediate response
to this indignity.
Please don’t misunderstand my
comments. We may not have the
best football team, but the A&M
student body is so much better in
every other aspect that the com
parison does not seem justifiable.
We do not need to apologize in
any way to anyone for the fierce
pride we have in our school nor
for defending this pride in the
face of defaming remarks that
are apparently acceptable to the
authorities of other schools.
A special salute to the Corps.
The Fort Worth parade was a
great exhibition.

$191,000 NSF Grant
Awarded University
Texas A&M has been awarded
a $190,775 National Science Foun
dation grant for a 1970-71 science
teachers training program, Pres
ident Earl Rudder announced.
The A&M Academic Year In
stitute grant is one of 63 funded
by $8.4 million in NSF grants
and the largest of three received
by state schools.
Directed by Dr. Melvin C.
Schroeder, the 1970-71 grant will
enable 35 high school teachers to
improve the quality of their
teaching in an academic year of
full-time study in their subjects.
Schroeder in his 15 years at
A&M has directed institutes and
programs supported by over $1
million in NSF funds. The geolo
gy professor headed eight earth
science institutes, two in-service
programs at Victoria and Tem
ple and three academic Year In
stitutes, including the current
one.
AYI is coordinated through the
campus NSF programs office, di
rected by C. M. Loyd. He pointed
out that most of the grant funds
are spent in Bryan and College
Station.
Foundation grants provide a
stipend of up to $3,000 for each
experienced teacher plus supple
mentary allowances for depend
ents, books and travel. Freed of
teaching duties, participants can
concentrate on improving their
own knowledge and skills.
Teachers’ applications for the
1970-71 institute must be sub
mitted by Jan. 20, 1970.
