It becomes rather humorous to compare the treatment
A&M students received on the UT campus with the treat
ment UT students received on the A&M campus.
Some of our cadets were discovered in Austin last week,
and were given a royal reception. They had their heads
shaven, they were smeared with paint, “walked” into a fish
pond and had their car covered with paint and trash.
Two UT students arrived on the campus Monday night.
One of the students had two or three pieces of his hair cut
and the air was let out of the tires of the car, then upper
classmen moved in.
These students were ushered around the campus. The
friends they were here to see were contacted and brought to
them. They were escorted back to their car by seniors. The
tires of their car were pumped up by seniors, and they were
given safe conduct away from the campus.
If they saw any paint, it was from a distance. If they
saw any water, it was from a distance. There was no damage
done to their car.
The students who took care of the UT visitors Showed
keen judgement. They were more level-headed than to re
taliate for the pitiful way in which A&M students had been
treated.
The Bible teaches one to turn the other cheek. These,
men turned the other cheek. Let’s hope that the entire cadet
corps will turn its cheek to UT students and fans when they
visit the campus tonight and tomorrow.

Unit Insignias may be painted

Dear Sir:
Will you brave young men of
’ijjjca.'i 1 A&M accept an apology
. ..from the mother of an ex-Aggie,
John M. Clark ?
Your attempt to uphold the
"Spirit of Aggieland” was directed
at the wrong source. You see, I am
responsible. 1 made the mistake
of teaching my son to be an in
dividualist —- that Ins rightful
heritage was Freedom of Speech—
Freedom of the Press—also the
right to an education such as we
could provide. But you have cor
rected all these out dated, old
fashioned ideals, I am not so stupid
any more. I learned the' hard way.
As you bow your heads to give
thanks (if you do) this Thanks
giving Day, may your hearts swell
with pride with your accomplish
ments. No word of criticism
against your Glorious school has
gone unnoticed—“Justice has Pre
vailed”. The honor and rule of the
Corps is upheld. He was only one
while you are a part of the forty
students who so bravely defended
your school.
But will that spirit and bravery
prevail long enough so that you
may have the “Guts” to pridefully
boast of your part in this battle of
the freedoms?
Can all of this big State of Tex
as be wrong except A&M ? The
Editors of some of our state’s lead
ing newspapers and radio news
Commentators, as well as numerous
letters and telegrams- and tele
phone calls, seem to think we still
should have our rights as citizens
under the Constitution of these
United States.
You Senior Corps men will soon
be representatives of our govern-
hient. How can you defend, Uphold
and fight for something you can
not believe in as proven by your
recent actions ?
Whether John will divulge the
naln.es of the fifteen or twenty
students he recognized is up to him
(or you). Wonder who is the best
man!
With best wishes for your con
tinued success in keeping the Col
lege Administration under control.

Editors, The Battalions
After reading the account of the
student “expulsion” of “darling”
John Clark, I was prompted to
write this letter because of a cer
tain critical remark contained in
the writeup.
This remark was stated by Ben
nie Zinn in which he said, “Things
are pretty bad when a man can’t
write an article for the paper and
give his opinion.” Less than a year
ago a certain senior, Bob Travis by
name, wrote his opinion to. this
self-same neWspdper, and because
of this opinion, he was reduced in
rank, and removed from the “Cadet
Corps”. It seems to me that what
is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander, and us far as I’m con
cerned, Mr, John Clark got his
desserts. It couldn’t have happened
to a more deserving person,
I must admit, that Bob Travis
was acted upon by the administra
tion, and Clark by the students
themselves, but it all boils down to
the same general principle. If a
man can’t express an opinion,
something’s bound to be wrong,
but you can’t choose favorites; so
“adios, Mr. Clark and good rid
dance.”
