Football -- Fun or Finance
It’s a shame that the only persons who supported the
team during its lean years on the gridiron now have to suffer
during a year of a grand crop.
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

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!!
Why not sell the whole Aggie sec
tion; look how much money it
would bring!
