Individuals representing: WHAT! NO DOOR? Editor, The Battalion: J Being an avid reader of The Battalion, I have of late become Tmbued with many of the ideas ex pounded/ propounded, and con founded in said paper. In fact, I have been instilled with the “Char lie Murray Theory of the, Aggie Way iof Life” to such an extent that l am ho longer the rugged individ ualist tha)t I once was. I no longer believe iif dashing -off to; football games anjd corps, trips and turning over street cars and automobiles that threaten to break up yell practices.)' [ - > ' . . j.;' j I no longer advoate the rpwdi- ness that characterized Aggies in the past, and believe that even though overenthusiastic fans from other schools smear a little paint around our campus, wi shouldn’t get excited. After all, they meant no harm. Boys will be boys, and we mu^t remember that we are lit tle gentlemen. I believe these things so much that I am now what might be termed the shrinking vio let type, and as such can no longer endure the hardships of the old way of life. So, I wondered if the crusading editor of The Battalion would don his suit of shining armor, climb upon his trusty soap bpx and cru sade for) something really worth while/ What I ask for is very simple; to-wit: a door on the show er and latrine room and a x-adia- tor.in same room in Legett Hall, basement. I am now a gentleman per the new Aggie way of living, and I abhor 1 the old rough and tough existence. In fact, I can no longer Stand it—I aht not as young as I used tjo be and wfhter is com ing on. Tlten top K there is a really old man down the hall that I really worry aboiit I doubt that he can make a hard winter, particularly with no heat in the shower room. Oh, yes. While you are cru sading against these shameful, nasty edd Aggie traditions, trying to malfe this a fit school for us gentlemen, see if you can fix it so we can sit down during the foOt- s ball games. I get soooooooo tired standing up, and those nasty old boys shove you around so. PROBLEMS CLOSE!
