Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1955 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.

HIDE WE'S GETTiM-j- lu E *Tr r ) ‘ s v /\ V 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.” Jimmy C. Burns ’57 Lisle Wayne II ’57 George W.
