JAKE RUSSELL, ’48 ; ★ GOOD OLE DAYS—1944-45? Editor, The Battalion: In many of the recent letters to the editors, I hayfc setjn many men tions of the “good ole days in Ag- gieland” made by rmeti” who signed their names followed by the numerals ’48, ’49, or ’50. I should like very much to knojw since when tradition and spirit was running so high in 1944 or 11945. I hive bpen under the impression that since early ’-111 A. & M. has been rather lacking in the aforemention- ed. In reference ltd the letter on lack of guards at the East Gate, I have only to say—“Stupid kid stuff.” Of Course I Was unable to be here in the “good ole days” and don’t know. 1 or any one of the nurajeCOMs things that you said, and you have taken quite a liberty by assuming these things. Unless you can find facts to back up your assumptions, I think a public apology is due, WITH! YOUR NAME SIGNED! In reply to your dig about, the length of time I hav<» been on this j pirate campus, I wonder holy Iqng you’ve | Dr. BonnOr has tracked Captain been here. In case you have more J Kidd relentlessly through the te say about this, how about tndng sparse factfe of his life and the Room 201, Dorm 4, ir^teadj of Page legends that have grown through 2, The Battalion.
