CIGARETTE CASE Editor, The Battalion: In response to the letter in Wed nesday’s Battalion, submitted by • E. D. Anthony Jh from Texas Uni versity, concerning his cigarette case supposedly taken by an Ag gie Fish, I would like to make u few comments of my own. In view of th# circumstantial nature of the evidence which the writer presented, I certainly do not condone the strong accusations which the writer mode, Being a habitual cigarette smoker myself for the past six ykaPs, I cut) never tl'iink of one ItiHtatiri 1 while driving my cur that my lilBurotloi would lie lying on tint buck seat whore they would be Ho Inconvenient to get to, us a mwtijl'H of fact, pine- tically Impossible, The writer also stated ho discovered the loss short, ly after letting the men out. As far uk we know, he muy have stop- pad for rcfrcshmcfils onue-or twice after letting the Fish out, then illscovercd Uie Under these clmimstnnces, It could have been so very simple for someone else to have taken the cigarette case. Furthermore, during my ppst two years of associating with Aggies, be they Fish, Sophomores, Juniors, or Seniors, they have always im pressed me as some of the finest group of men with whom I have come into contact. Yes, I am an Aggie, and mighty darn proud of being one. Petty theft is definitely not in pur Ijne, thalt ia w-hy the accusations of E. D. Anthpny Jr. hurt so much and warrant this letter. I suggest to him that he look again in the back of his car- if he left the cigarette case there, because I for one will never be lieve an Aggie Fish wilfully re lieved him of it. 0 Andrew A.

Most of th# letters written you concerning the Ihltt Itself have been-letters of protest; few hove been written eobtuljiing praise for the paper. While we have not agreed with many of the editorials, we do not think them mediocre. The Batt has other faults, but you know them better than wc, the readers. Yet-its merits are many and far outnumber its flaws. The strongest late - afternoon thought of most of us is, “What hot poop is in the Batt today?”, and we all read it avidly, even the fault-finders. Not just twice a week, but every day. In short, we believe that those •who have worked on the Batt de serve a “well done.” Perhaps some 6f the adverse criticism was of value in making the paper better; we have no quarrel with those oc casionally and sincerely offended who hjave written stern letters, but only with those who are afraid to admit that anything is ever done w#ll t B.
