Just a couple more days are left for the A&M College-
College Station Community Chest-Red Cross drive to reach
its goal of $12,100.
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.

Letters To The Editor
Editor, Battalion
Mr. Chris Groneman,
A&M Representative to the
Southwest Conference:
I know that you, as a represen
tative of A&M College to the
Southwest Conference, are doing
everything in your power to fur
ther Aggie interests and give us a
voice in conference affairs, but I
wonder if more can’t be done, and
if there isn’t some truth in the ar
ticles written by Paschal Price,
sports editor of the Bryan Daily
Eagle ?
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

now trying to make that wrong
stick with one 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.
