“It is jist a question of, time, of course,
until “Foriever Amber” comes under the
scrutiny o|f Bop. Parnell Thomas and his

St. Louis residents saw “Amber” and

men sat down in a luxurious Hollywood of

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!
