USE OF COKE MONEY
Editor, The Battalion:
In the following paragraphs
We’ll attempt to put into! words
ah idea that hame to us like a bolt
opt of the blue after reading a
cpuplq of your “Letters to the
Editors”, and after hearing a few
of the prominent minds in the
dbrm discuss the subject: “What’ll
\yo do with the,coke money?”
It seems to us, and so 5 far every
body we’ve spoken to about it
agrees, that the solution of the
coke money question stares us in
t|ie face every time the Aggie
Band play* a note. We’ve rend edi
torials commending the Bund, for
Incidentally, we’re not in the
band and never have befen in the
band. We live in Mitchell Manor.
You might point out that Mit
chell Hall’s net profits for last
month were $39.72, and that cur
rent balance is $315.65. JUST ON[E
DORM. y T
In a year’s time the camphs
coke machines should accumulate
enough to finance the Band to
Villanova and maybe LSU, cer
tainly to LSU!

These dorm coke funds, us they
stand, are nothing but a source of
disagreement.; The sensible ideas
presented so ■ far are few, such

the College seems to be doing most
