The total was not quite collected when the drive reached its planned ending last Saturday. It was close. $11,200 had been collected through last night. This leaves about $900 to be collected by the new closing- date this coming Saturday. The chairman for this year’s drive has expressed con fidence that the drive will reach its top—and maybe even go over. That would be great, for last year the drive missed by a fourth of the $16,000 goal. This year, the goal is smaller, but the benefits are just as large for 12 local agencies who participate in the local Community Chest. These agencies depend upon money from the Chest. And the Chest depends upon the people of College Sta tion and students at A&M College. Invest in the Chest. Give now, and help to keep our community strong and healthy.

Mr. Price states that the confer ence constitution says the confer ence football champion shall play in the Cotton Bowl. He then points out that this portion of the consti tution was not amended when we were placed on probation and bar red from playing in the bowl. This is no doubt due to the fact that we weren’t supposed to win the championship and therefore would not necessitate amending the con stitution. Is this true? Mr. Price goes on to state that the conference is polling the mem bership to set a rule for selecting a team to play in the Cotton Bowl in place of A&M, and again points out that the conference constitu tion stipulates that the constitution can not be amended except at a regular meeting and there must be a 30-day written notice to do that. Is this true ? Price declares that the next reg ular meeting of the conference is in December, so that there will not be enough time to arrange for a change in the constitution even if it were the will of all the members to do so. Is this true? I’m sure that Mr. Price was referring to le gal, constitutional amendment whereby the conference will be abiding by its own constitution. If the above statements about the constitution and the conference in tentions are true, excluding Mr. Price’s and my own opinions, I should think that the conference would obey its own constitution, and follow its constitutional proce dure. The conference has never really told what went on behind its closed door meetings. If A&M is to be punished for violating confer ence rules, rules which most of the other conference members have broken, and have publicly admitted breaking, I should think that the conference would punish us justly —if that punishment was deserv ed ? But if the above statements are in any wise ti^ie, then the con ference ignored its constitution, its proper procedure, sportsmanship, democracy, and tried to right a wrong with another wrong, and is CASH FOR YOUR BOOKS These and many more . . .

The confer ence is thereby violating its own rules, rules which it itself made and is fully conscious of, but for purposes of its own, it chooses to ignore. I must admit that I don’t know all the facts about the matter since the conference hasn’t as yet chosen to make them public. I also admit that I don’t have a copy of the con stitution handy, but if the constitu tion does state the things which Mr. Price points out, then we have been given a raw deal and unjustly sentenced and should have a new “trial” due to improper “court pro cedure.” This letter is not meant as a personal criticism, but rather seeks to separate the truth from the un truth and right from wrong. I know that you have done every thing possible for A&M, but I think that if everyone knew the truth of the matter, something positive could be done. Ignorance is not bliss.
