The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Wednesday, December 5, 1956 Letters to the Editor Editor, The Battalion Dear Fighting Aggies: This is just to tell you that an Ex-Aggie in Kentucky has followed you all season and is very proud of the fine record that you have achieved. Each year since leaving Aggie- land I have followed every game that was possible, at least by radio. It certainly has been a long wait, but now it is here. The first conference championship in 15 years, the highest score against a Texas University team, and best of all the Jinx. I am indeed proud of you. My greatest disappointment and I’m sure yours as well is your denial by the NCAA to allow you to play in the Cotton Bowl. At any rate you men are champions in every sense of the word. You never gave up. It is a truth to say that so far as we Aggies are concerned, “We’ve Never Been Licked.” Tandy P. Chenault ’38 Editor, The Battalion It has come to my attention and I am calling it to yours, that Mr. James V. Wilson (Pinkey to most ex-students) author and composer of the Aggie War. Hymn, is about to become the forgotten man of Aggieland. It seems too bad to us that Pinkey has to sit in the end zone when he goes to see the Ag gies beat Texas University. We have a suggestion to make to your paper. Why don’t you start a campaign to provide Pinkey and Mrs. Pinkey with a permanent, lifetime pair of passes to every game the Aggies play, either on Kyle Field or in any other stadium ? You understand that this is just a suggestion, bu I think that some tangible recognition is due the author of the War Hymn, who is one of the outstanding boosters for our school and team, and who seldom misses an Aggie game. John T. Thompson ’16 Editor, The Battalion The public mind is fickle. Ten years from now—even five years— 90 per cent of the general public will have forgotten the names of the men who broke the jinx in Memorial Stadium Thursday. In order that they may not be forgotten and if there is nothing in the regulations of the school to prevent it, it seems to me that it would be fitting if the numerals issued to the active members of the squad, who participated in Thursday’s game, upon their grad uation, be placed in a trophy case in Junction Manor and that those particular numerals never again be issued to any member of any future Aggie football squad. I have waited 32 long years, from young manhood to middle age, for this event to take place and I would like to see their memory perpetuated — a desire that is shared by Mrs. Griffin and our sons, Larry and Gerry, class of ’56. H. H. Griffin Honor and Obey BLUEFIELD, W. Va. <A>)_The woman pulled a heavy gold wed ding ring from her finger and insisted it be used to fill her teeth despite the dentist’s assurance there was a cheaper way. She ex plained: “I promised my first hus band before his death that I’d always wear his ring. I’m getting married next week and the man I’m going to marry has made me promise that I’ll wear only his ring. This way, I can keep my promise to both.” - Texas A&M College owns 5,200 acres on the Main Campus; a plantation of 3,192 acres in Burle son and 411 acres at Junction Tex as, summer adjunct.

Hot Court Tassel Rises Over Puppy TULSA, Okla., GP)—Tippy, a 10-year-old mongrel dog, has stirred here a legal fight which Irene Castle vows will be taken, if necessary, all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court. Irene Castle, famed dancer and fashion queen of the World War I era who is now Mrs. George En- zinger of Eureka Springs, Ark., wants Tippy’s custody. So does the John Walker family of Tulsa, who formerly lived at Old Army Goes Out With Army WASHINGTON, UP) — The old Army is fading fast. Last week the Pentagon announ ced the Army mule was being turn ed out to pasture. Now comes word that the Army’s pigeon corps will be de mobilized. The Army announced today the last 1,000 message-carrying pig eons will be offered for sale soon and the pigeon training center at Ft. Monmouth, N. J., closed. Nine trainers will be assigned to other duties. The pigeons are the last of about 40,000 birds used in World War II and during the Korean fighting. The Army explained that “pro gress in electronic communica tions” — meaning that radio and field telephones work better—has ended the requirement for the winged messengers of the Army Signal Corps. Thus the pigeons will go the way of camels—once used by the Army in the Southwest desert country— the calvary horse and the mule. The dog hangs on. About 1,300 sentry dogs are still used by the Army, working on guard duty. No body has come up with an electric gadget that can scent an enemy, bark and bite. Berry ville, Ark., near Eureb Springs.
