Editors, The Battalion:
Concerning the article in Wed
nesday’s Battalion on “Coed Reso
lution Disliked by Aggies.” In our
humble opinion we think that there
has been a slight slanting of the
facts. It is quite possible that
there has been a grave mistake
made here, for a great many stu
dents are highly in favor of this
resolution. We think that if you
would make a more thorough in
spection of the situation that you
might uncover some hidden and
terrifying facts—AGS LIKE CO

Only 250 of the six to eight
hundred non-military students on
the A&M campus are taking ad
vantage of the civilian mess hall
in Sbisa.
The cafeteria-style mess hall
will I'emain open without changes
until the end of the school yeai\
Since so few have been eating
there, no futui'e plans for it have
been made, said J. G. Peniston,
subsistence supervisoi’.
Opened at the beginning of the
1952-53 teX'm, the mess hall was
designed to furnish non-reg stu
dents with a place to eat at the
same price cadets pay. The menu
is the sanxe that is served in Sbisa
and Duncan Halls.
Although meals are sei’ved cafe
teria style, seconds ai’e available
on all foods except meats and des
