Letters to the Editors Editors, The Battalion: The statement made in the Bat talion a few days ago told how the underclassman nowdays hear only that A&M is a miserable college and that the corps has lost its spirit and iniportance. The under classmen who heal'd this were very fortunate because it was the truth. Journalism Majors To Work at Fair Five agricultural journalism majors from A&M will go to the Texas State Fair to work for the fair’s publicity department. Don Kemp, Ed Stern and Bill Rogers will work, next week. Bob Mayo and possibly Roy Sullivan will work the second Aveek. Sul livan doesn’t know positively if he will make the trip. Duties of the five will be re porting of livestock judging and other contest events. They will turn reports into the publicity commit tee who will prepare news releases for regular news channels. A few years back a freshman was not pampered like a neurotic child if he did not happen to agree with the policies of the school and the traditions of the corps. But to day if a freshman so much as gets a homesick expression on his face the administration does hand springs and the military depart ment salutes first. Is this the policy that has made A&M a great school ? Is this the policy that has produced the great men that grad uated from A&M in the past? The answer is NO. In the past years a freshman was not pampered. If he could not agree with the policies of the school and the traditions of the corps he was invited to leave. The men I want at A&M are the men that can live up to the policies of the school and the traditions of the corps as they have been in the past. Not these children that are pampered so they will stay in school to keep the enrollment high. In the past A&M graduates were considered to be of the highest caliber. Will these pampered fresh men be considered as such ? Think it over Aggies, and draw your own conclusions. Before I entered A&M I was told by General' (The Bull) Boatner that there comes a time in every man’s life that he must make sacrifices, and in order to be an Aggies I had to sacrifice some of the leisures of home life. The General left me with one thought to think over before I chose to come to A&M, and 1 quote “If you can’t leave your mother’s coattail and that sixteen-year-old blonde behind, we don’t want you at Texas A&M.” Aggies, I think this is what every freshman should be told be fore he enters A&M, so he can make up his own mind and come to A&M knowing what is expected of him. P. S. The General also told me a feAv more things but I had rather not mention them. 1 live in Dorm 2, room 109. If you wish to know just what all the General said I will be glad to talk to you.
