SEE THE NEW DARK COLORS FOR THIS FALL Exclusive With Clothiers Bryan Page 2 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1955 A Worthy Cause It’s time to talk about something different for a while. We’ll pass by the football team’s drive to the Southwest Conference title, by the comments usually made when stu dents start their weekend drive home, by any other drives that possess us—and talk about another drive that will be starting Monday. This drive is the Annual Community Chest Drive, the project annually guided by local citizens for the benefit of local organizations dedicated to providing help for local people. The goal set for this year is $12,100, which will be allo cated among 12 local organizations. At least, this amount will go to these groups if the goal is reached. Last year, the goal was larger—and it was not reached. This year, the goal has been set in accordance with a careful study of what will suffice for each group. And the goal is one that the Community Chest Committee feels can be reached. Local citizens and students will have to reach into their pockets if the $12,100 is to be realized. The drive opens Monday and it’s uphill all the way. Let’s all get behind it and push it over the top by its closing day on Nov. 12. Letters to the Editor Editor, Battalion: I would like to say something - in defense of the “disgrace sup ported by the state.” I am very glad this letter was written arid published. (I am re ferring to the letter of Charles Ledbetter, Student, University of Houston.) It pleases me, because I now am enlightened as to the caliber of students that attend “Cougar High.” When I read the article in the Houston paper after the A&M-UH football game, I thought only the coaches at UH were afflicted; but it seems the s.tudents have the same troubles. I believe the school should teach a course in memory. Mr. Ledbetter seems to be fairly forgetful. He forgot (or should I say, declined to remember,) the unprovoked beating some Aggies received as they returned their dates to the campus last year. He also forgot that two of the UH’s esteemed (possibly “All-American Honor able Mention) players were sus pended from the game for per sonal fouls. My home is in Houston and I have seen many UH football games. My personal opinion i? that their sportsmanship, on the field and in the stands, is the worst of any 1 have ever seen. I would like to leave this thought in closing. Mr. Ledbetter seems to know quite a lot about the history of A&M. Could it be that he once attended school here and was re quested to leave for one of many reasons? Jack Benson, ’57 (Ed. Nolo: If he was we couldn’t find anything about his being here. Sorry.) Fe ruer Elected Arlen Ferner has been elected president of the San Angelo West- Texas Hometown Club. Other of ficer's are Donald Dierschke, vice- president; C. C. Koeller, secretary; Bernard McIntosh, treasurer; Don Hunter, reporter; Homer Flana- gen and Frankie Wheeler, tail twisters and James Teplicek and George Manitzas, refreshment com mitteemen. Students!
