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

OTHER VERSION
Editors, The Battalion:
Following is the body of a let
ter which w’e have just mailed to
Mr. E. D. Anthony Jr. of Texas
University, whose letter you print
ed in Wednesday’s Batt.
“In reply to your letter
we \vould like to inform you that
we were three of the “fish” whom
you picked up in Bryan and drove
to the Annex. We were the three
who sat in the back of ybur car,
but we took nothing from jiour car
but a thought that perhaps “Tea-
sippers” weren’t so bad, after all.
But after reading your letter to
deny emphatically any connection
with it or any sight of it, that
evening.”
“We hope that it was only lost,
and that you will find it soon. We
hope also that you will have An
equal amount of condemnation as
you displayed in your letter, if
you find that the case was only
misplaced.”
“Again we thank you very much
fbif the “lift" you gave tw." ]

P. S. We hope, sirs, that you
will print this letter in answer to
Mi Anthony's accusations against

Kdltors, The Mnlluilon:
Wo balievr that credit should be
given where due, and It Is our
opinion that the Batt of 104MW
liui« not been entirely without merit
ms miiny seem to (H'lleve. 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
