Editor, The Battalion: In response to a letter written by one of our beloved (?) Aggie coeds for the summer that was printed in Friday’s Battalion. It seems to me as though our coeds think very little of us hard working Aggies. She wahts us to shave and be congenial when there is no reason to be eonjgenial. And it makes my heart bleed when I think of the many unspoken thoughts that she a?d the rfst like, her nave about us, She paints us up Into barbaric monsters,(which spine of pa are) Wist care little for the falijer *ex.

All of Ithal I, too, want very much. But when we try to be nice and friendly, ami iiM the word “dog" painted on it. "No thanks," said the woman. "My husband doesn’t drink water and the dog can’t read." Another English-type story is the one jj^rgymen, including about the man who pulled into a filling station. .1 I < ’ "Where’s your radiator cap?” the sta tion attendant asked. the "Aggettes" noses icllmb ipto the wild blue yonder-*1 gctuklly wonder what they really vyant,. Now who this coed is ji don’t know, but Judging from tlie tone and content of her letter - she is about in her third year it dear ol’ Tessieland. I’ll not commit my self on that for ft’s a :wil(jl guess at best. , Right now, I have no reason to shave daily—mainly because our "Aggettes” don’t seem to want to have anything to do with me. Not that I blame them for I’m no Clark Gable, nor am I Boris Karloff’s twin brother. When one Of them asks me to shave I will gladly comply—otherwise I’ll wait until I get good and ready. As our “Friendly Coed” did not give her name I cannot Ipok her up. Instead I’ll give her niy name and my address (I have np phone number, wife, fiancee, etje.) and I’ll also tell her where I gm most of the day.
