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.
