BETTER GET a NEW "ONE, MOM
We Should Be Ashamed.
T’ake a look around you Aggie,
Look at yourself in the mirror and at
your roommate, your buddy across the hall
and your next door neighbor. You’ve> been
branded with a mark that is hard to wipe
off.
You are a member of a group which con
tains a minority segment that sees fit to
destroy property of others, not thinking of
the end results or effect on all parties con
cerned.
Wednesday someone entered the rooms
of some 40 Texas University boys who are
doing Summer geology work here. They
forced entry into the rooms of Ramps D and
E in Walton Hall where the geology boys live
and at that time were in the field studying.
They stuffed papers, sheets, towels and
other items in the cracks of doors and turned
on water in lavatories.
The damage amounted to $248. It was
reported to the Dean of Men’s office shortly
after the students swept the water out of
rooms and had a chance to make a thorough
investigation of what was ruined.
tained through the actions of a small minor
ity.
But in repaying, we are not only going to
have to suffer a deficit in the monetary sense
of the word, we are going to have to repay
just a little more friendliness and thought
fulness which few of ’us have gone to the
trouble to show.
It is unfortunate that all A&M students
must be held accountable for a deed unthink
ingly committed by a few.
Most of the 'problems of society
ivould be solved if the more fortu
nate ivere genuinely interested in
the improvement of the less fortu
nate.

include damage to clothes and sheets from
the water which stood approximately four
inches deep in every room.
The water was discovered by janitors at
about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, and with the
aid of several helpers, the workers rushed
in to stop flow of the water which, had al
ready engulfed all of D ramp and eight of
the '16 rooms in E ramp.
Blame for this mischievious act can be
attributed to no individual or group of in
dividuals because the person (s) who showed
their so-called “ill feelings” toward the men
from rival Texas University quickly made
themselves scarce.
Since blame must be given to someone,
the A&M student body receives liability for
that act and a damage of $248 is our debt to
show for what a few have done.
Last semester students of Texas Univer
sity sent approximately $300 to compensate
for losses to A&M students who were “at
tacked” by University students on the TU
campus. The money was to pay for uniforms
and personal property confiscated.
With an added collection from A&M stu
dents, the losses were repaid in half through
the aid of a committee from the Student
Senate.
