LETTERS (Continued from Page 2) no means proof that the authors of the letter did not have the benefit of logical thought. As to the spelling, if an editor can find little more than a per son’s spelling to criticize in the editor’s note, then the note could well be omitted. See also 3 above, concerning the “75 odd years” in reference to the same letters. Not everyone has had the opportunity at proper spelling that a Batt edi tor has had. Or is it the proof readers who correct the editorials ? Not everyone has had six years of college education behind him, as these five veterinary students have had. A few mistakes are ex cusable. In the interests of a greater A&M College, I remain, S. J. Smith ’55 Measles Cases Drop in Local Area One hundred and fourteen cases of measules were reported in Bry an and College Station last week. This is an increase over the month of January which reported only 124 cases and February with 234 cases.

Marsh of the College Hospital, who has received no new cases this week. AN AGGIE quartet, “The Blue Notes,” sung for the College Sta tion Kiwanis Club yesterday.

Samuels, will not speak before the University of Texas student and faculty re lations committee concerning the possibilities of coeducation at A&M.
