In Appreciation
The Association of Former Students is providing a way
for all of their members to express appreciation for the “for
gotten men” on the campus.
Having previously designated this month as Faculty Ap
preciation Month, the FSA sent out with their monthly news
letter a card on which exes could write the name of some
faculty merpber to whom they wished to extend appreciation
and greetings. On the back of each card was enough space
for a personal note, if such was desired to be included.
These cards were sent to the approximately 28,000 form
er students on the mailing list of the Association; so far 15
to 18-hundred cards have been returned, with greetings and
appreciation directed to a large segment of the faculty at
A&M.
The cards will be sent to each individual faculty member,
with the first ones going out the first of next week. As
more cards come in, these also will be mailed.
It doesn’t look like a lot, just a printed card with a few
lines written or typed on it. But to those staff members who
see students come and go, it will probably mean a lot to know
that what they had tried to present to their students during
college days stuck with them enough to make them want to
note their appreciation.

Letters To The Editor
Editor, Battalion,
We would like to take this op
portunity to congratulate the au
thor of the editorial in today’s pa
per (Wednesday) entitled “A Hum
ble Spirit.” He has unquestionably
done more to degrade the school’s
reputation in one article than it
has been possible for a good foot
ball team and a wholesome atti
tude of the “Twelfth Man” to build
up this year.
It has been such attitudes and
statements which have given A&M
the reputation which it has in
some circles today. Numerous re
sults have risen as retaliations to*
such extreme “egoism”—such as
Aggies and their property not be
ing safe on other campuses in the
area. Needless to say such stands
have not, and will not make us
popular in the eyes of all South
western (Southwest) Conference
enthusiasts both old and young
alike.
The editorial was certainly un
called for and accomplished no
worthwhile purpose. Sure, we’re
proud of our team and their ac
complishments, but it has been
said that “Actions speak louder
than words.”
