Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, October 23, 1952 Letters (Continued from Page 2) This it not'true. You are not in the Army, You ax-e in a ti'aining program for reserve officex-s. And don’t think you are “in the sei'- vice moi’e tha,n the sei'vicemen.” Granted, you may have sci'atched your knee the other day, you must consider the moxe than 100,- OQO casualties in Korea befoi’e making such a statement. Concerning the price of meals in the coi-ps mess halls you said: “ . . . we in the corps pay for pai’t of our meals, that doesn’t cover the entire amount spent by the college for food. The diffex 1 - ence is made up by the govern ment. The government is getting soldiex-s out of us, so it sees fit to feed us, but what will it be get ting from the non-i - egs?” Let me call to your attention that the mess halls receive no sub sidies from any source, especially the U. S. Government. It is a self- English Club Holds Organization Meet The English Majors Club held its oi'ganizational meeting Tues day night in the YMCA after yell practice. Elected for the coming, year, were Bex*t Wellex-, president, Hugh Mangum, seci'etai*y> and Bob Hol land, Junior x-epi’esentativc to the Arts and Sciences Student Coun cil. Following election of officex*s, pi'ogram topics for the coming year wei - e discussed. Bob Dannen- baum and Hugh Mangum were ap pointed to investigate the px*oposed programs and recommend one to be cai’iied out. Di\ S. S. Morgan sti'essed dux*- ing the meeting the fact that the English Club is not for majoi-s in English only, but is open to all persons intei’ested in philosophy, literature, religion, and other re lated subjects. Poultry Judgers Louisiana Bound The A&M Poultx-y Judging Team left College Station today for Shreveport, La. to assist in judging at the Louisiana State Fail*. This fair is one of the largest junior shows in the nation. Mem bers of the team ax*e expected to get good practice on “Reds”, New Hampshii'C, and White Rock chick ens. This fair is a px-eliminary for the National Judging Contest at Chicago. The team consists of Bill Huff man, Roy Johnson, Henry Shurig, Bill Cowley, and Johnny Peirson. Enrollment Drops Below ’51 - ’52 Level Eni'ollment this year is slightly lower than the number registex*ed at this time last year. At present, the enrollment of students pursu ing degi'ees is 6>277, including 1,547 entering freshmen and 312 college transfers. For the same date last year the enrollment was 6,583 including 1,767 freshmen and 373 college transf«rs. Students Enroll In Dance Classes Dance classes for students in terested in ball room and Latin American dancing, 31*6 being con ducted in the MSC by Mr. and Mx*s. Maiming Smith. Miss Betty Bolander, MSC pro gram consultant, announced that all classes have been filled with an enrollment of over 200 students. The classes are being sponsored by the MSC Dance Committee un der the direetion of Boyce Holmes, senior from Corpus Christi. suppox*ting non-px*ofit pax*t of the college. In x*eply to your question, “What will it (the goveimment) get out of the non-x*egs “I can only say that if you had been at this school a little longer or knew a little mox*e about A&M you would never ask such a question. Thex*e ax*e many men in the non-regs who have ali*eady completed their militaxy txaining here at A&M and will i*e- ceive commissions in Januai*y or June ’53. Think of the Aggies hei*e who have already seen mox*e combat seiwice than a lot of the Aggies now in school will see. Also thex*e is a large percentage that will soon be in the Army and on the front lines, who will not be weax*- ing the baxs or enjoy the pxivi- leges you will get after gradua tion. How can you ask “What will it be getting from the non-regs?” You said, “ . . . where as col lege regulations prevent undex*- classmen from living off the cam pus, I don’t believe there is any thing about uppeielassmen or non- regs rooming off the campus. If you don’t like the campus as the rest of us seem to do why don’t you txy that?” In only exceptionally special cases axe men permitted to live off the campus unless they axe maiTied or axe living with their paxents. Crowded living conditions is not enough reason to obtain permission. You . should take this matter up with Dean Morgan or Bennie jZinn if you axe really con- cexmed about it. “Like the campus as the rest of us seem to do ...” You knowf less about the school than the avex*- age sophomore to be voicing opin ions and criticizing the non-regs. Your lack of knowledge and complete invalidity of your letter can be overlooked to a very small extent when it is known you are, a transfer or a so called “super charged” junior, blit still I must? ? apoligize to the readers of The.
