Dear Sir: J
I am. leaving Aggiejknd. Yes sir,
I am graduating at the end of this
semester, and I would like 'to make
one last request.
I would like to eat one meal in

choice of scfmething besides roast
beef, beef sttew and meat loaf.
Is that asking too much?
Pleadingly,

Answer: Either lyoW have po so

situation, G. S. The beef that is
placed before you each day in the
mess hall has quite a history.
I gu6ss you don’t appreciate the
meat’s pan| If you remember, the
last year we beat Texas Univer
sity was in 1939. The longhorn we
took that year has been the source
of our meat ever since.

were cut and all students ale like
kings. But .’ the steak was soon
gone and all that is- left is what
you see: hash, roast beef, stew,
meat loaf. * “■
