Letters To The Editors (Continued from Page 2) do know that is costs $221.60 to outfit a football player completely. Also that each football costs $16. Nevertheless, we realize that this money is put into great use by the Athletic Department in other forms than athletic equip ment. Incidently, if it were not for your customers, you would .not be employed in your present position. If you feel justified by your ac tions of not cashing our checks, we feel sorry for your attitudes.

E. Callendar, wildlife conser vation specialist with the Extension Service, was speaker at the Lions Club meeting in the MSC Monday. He discussed the various types, of game birds in Texas and told about laws relating to hunting them. “The number of hunters in Texas is growing, while the amount of game is decreasing,” Callendar said. He told about programs for restocking our wild game supply. that I would like to comment on. As a starter I don’t really think that in many cases you are being “prejudiced” against, as you claim ed. The only one that I can think of is the senate deal. I would like to know exactly what you would like. You say that you all have three to a x'oom. Well,, as you well know you aren’t the only ones. There are many fresh men in the same boat you are. You stated that there were many corps dorms that have two, one and' none to a room, which I’ll have to admit is time. The tx-ouble is that these ax-e all in the new area, thus it won’t help relieve the “Fish”. I know thex'e are empty rooms in our dorms, as thex'e ai’e sevex’al in the one I’m in, but what would you have us do, let you move into the dorms with the cox-ps, or would you prefer us to move the rooms out to you ? What would you sug gest? Build mox-e dorms? To this I know of no Aggies around that would object to this. All you have to do is convince the college. You also were complaining about the senate. I’ll agree with you that as fas as percentages go, and if your figux-es are corx’ect, you have been gypped out of some repx'esentation ^liich y 0U need. This I cannot say anything about, but when you attacked the senate itself, that’s diffei'ent. You said that: If the U. S. government were set up Aggie-style instead of Jef- fex'son style, Nevada would have one senator while New York would have 101. Whereas this is exag erated, that is almost the way the government is set up as far as the House of Repx’esentatives is concexmed. The diffex - ence is the fact that it is about 48-3 instead of 100-1, but the odds ax - e still so far against them in a battle like that, that it wouldn’t make that much diffex-ence what the odds were. I believe the pux-pose of the senate is to represent the masses, and it seems to me that it has been doing a pretty good job, as I haven’t heax-d many complaints except fx-om the minorities. Sux-e, we get our meals cheaper too. We pay 40 dollars plus, per month for our meals, you all go A. D., you made many statements -oxxt axxd eat.

You can eat whatever you like, we have to eat whatever is put out befox-e us, like it or not. If we doxx’t we go hungx-y. Another thing is the fact that Open House Set For IE Students The industrial education depart ment will hold an open house in the Mechanical Engineexing Shop Building at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, Dr. C. H. Gi-oneman, head of the department, said yestex-day. Evex-yone interested in taking industi'ial education or industrial technology is invited to attend the open house, he added. Basic Divi sion students ax-e especially en- coui'aged to attend, Gx-oneman said. The program will consist of a shox-t business meeting of the in- dustx-ial education club. Gx-oneman will give a welcoming speech and a movie will be shown. we ai'e almost in the service. In fact we are in the sex-vice mox-e than the sex*vicemen, cause at least when they are off duty, their duty being eight houx-s a day, they can go around “non-x-eg.” We are “on duty” 24 houx-s a day. Sure we get our meals cheaper fox* be ing in the Ax-my, and you all don’t. You all complain. Well, why not turn this on a nation wide basis. The soldiers at Army camps get their meals for nothing, and their clothes as well. Well, as long as they get theix-s for nothing, going by the same principal you want us to follow, why not give all the civilians theix-s for nothing too ? We must rememOer whereas we in the corps pay for pax-t of our meals, that doesn’t cover the entix-e amount spent by the college for food. The diffex-ence is made up by the government. The gov- ex nment is getting soldiers out of us, so it sees fit to feed us, but what will it be getting Yi-om the non-regs ? Whei'eas college regulations pre vent underclassmen from living off the campus, I don’t believe thex-e is anything about uppei-classmen or non-x-egs rooming off the cam pus. If you don’t like the campus the way it is, as the x-est of us seem to do, why don’t you try that ?
