Rebuilding A Reputation...
AiMt week A. A M. ntudent* and faculty
rcnr^enutlve* met with reprenenUtlven of
Klee Institute at Houston in an attempt to
improve the present lamentable relations
Ml
existing between the two schools.
This state of conditions has, we feel, re
sulted from actions made both on the part
of Rice students and Aggies. However, there \
is little doubt that A. A M. students havA'
been responsible for the lion’s share of these
misdemeanors. ‘
In years past, Aggies have journeyed to
Houston and run rampant over the Rice cam
pus and the city of Houston as a whole. They
daubed with the same color, and "Unit hell
out of the Aggies” painted on Kyle Field
stadium, one might expect the “Fighting
Aggies” to be quite a bit more determined
and a little more eager to pluck the “Feath
ered Flock”. Rice has enjoyed this advantage
over A. A M. for the past several years, des
pite the pleas of coaches and players alike.
It is time that some Aggies awakened
from the delusion that they are rendering
the team a great service by “raising hell"
with the Rice Institute before the game. Just
what power of reasoning they call upon to
figure that painting the tomb of the founder
• have stolen the Rice Owl, they have daubed of an institution will aid its opponents on
maroon phint on statues, buildings, arid even
the tomb of W. M. Rice. They also have come
home to Aggieland with their heads shaved.
They have succeeded to a remarkable ex
tent in degrading the reputation of A.AM.
not only at Rice and in Houston, but also
throughout the entire state of Texha.*
they have worked a hardship on A. A M.
;athletic teams. Certainly, no coach could ask
•for a better psychological advantage than
the Rice Owls have held over the Aggies for
the past several years. One can imagine to
what extent this may influence a team by
comparison. If, on the morning of the Rice
game, Aggies awoke to find “Solly’s” statue
painted a bright blue, Reveille's

go bumming around at night and sometimes
they’d ask me along, but I never went. I al

me a lot of foolishness, the way they used

FRIENDS OR ENEMIES
Editor, The Battalion:
What a better achool thR would
be if there were friendly, coopera
tive relation, between profesaon
and atudenta. Aa an Aggie wife,
I've noticed a barrier between these
two groups a great deal in the
past year and a half, and it does
»eem needless and shameful. In
stead of instructor, being anxious
to teach and instill knowledge in
the boy.’ minds, there seem, to be
sn antagonistic spirit between
them which causes them to fight
each other; the boys fighting to
“pass", and the teachers fighting
to “defeat”. Oh, not all.teachers
are like this. No, indeed. There
are many fine teacher. In.{Mu
school that really make It seem a
privilege to learn from them. But

The good teachers cannot off

they may be, for one instructor is
capable, and sometimes does, make
learning itself hell; and learning
should be exciting, fascinating, en
joyable. Moet students respond
favorably to fair treatment and a
cooperative spirit in their teach
ers. Mott students balk and get
hopping mad when not given a
“square deal.” and the purpose of
that particular course has been
overshadowed In their miode by
the determination to pass that
course in spite of everything. The
first students have clear, receptive
minds that want to learn for
learning’s sake. The latter studenta
want to make that grade! Now
