Two years ago it was almost hard to give away tickets to a Texas A&M football game—almost as hard as trying to divide 2,000 date tickets among the many more than this number of Aggies who would like to bring their date to see the “big game.” Sure, we know; many’s the time that the 2,000 date tickets reserved have not been sold. But for the games where this happened, not too many of the regular tickets were sold either. Now the stadium is to be packed, jam-packed. And it looks as if monetary interest in the higher-priced, or regular $3.25 ticket, is taking precedence over the only reason that A&M has a football team at all. This “only reason” can be traced back to the students—who are the only reason that the school is even in existence. The letter on this page hits the point: If students, and their dates, can’t see the game—WHO SHOULD ? on business or pleasure SAVE, A DAY/ Letters Editor, Battalion To Whom It May Concern: I would like to take this time to say a few words of criticism. It seems to me that there’s definitely something wrong when the stu dents of Texas A&M can not take a date to ope of our home football games! Who makes up the school any way ? If there were not any stu dents, there wouldn’t be any school and certainly not any football games. Therefore, why not pro vide the students the privilege of seeing the game and, most of allj the privilege of bringing a date. It also seems to me that some one is certainly at fault by not providing the student body with adequate seating. As it is now, only a few first-comers were able to buy the meager 2,000 date tick ets that were so generously made available. If other schools can provide us with adequate date tick ets, why can’t our own school match this .... after all, if we can’t see- the games .... then who should ? ? ? Jim Burke, ’57 P.S.—If my date can’t see the game with me. I’ll watch it with her ... on T.V. . . . let the $3.25 ticket holders have the staduim!!
