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.)

Droodles with descriptive titles.
Include your name, address, col

CONFUSION REIGNS in the Droodle above, titled: Switchboard operated by
absent-minded Lucky smoker. Poor girl’s been swamped by too many phone calls.
But she isn’t confused about better taste—she smokes Luckies. Luckies taste better,
first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then “It’s Toasted” to taste
even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother. Switch to Lucky Strike yourself. You’ll
say it’s the best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked—and you won’t have your
wires crossed, either.
