I wonder if you will re call the article published in the Ranger—TU’s humor magazine last spring. It was entitled “Pity the Poor Aggies”, and although very artistically and eloquently presented, the subject matter was just so much hogwash. “Pity the Poor Aggies” and the works of “Aggie” Clarence B. Sanders, ’59 are very much alike, only the latter is not in any way cleverly presented. Firstly, let me bring to your attention, these words of wisdom: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I am not writing, or intending to write here from an offensive stand point. I am merely trying to put before you a few arguments in favor of both sides, and draw a suitable conclusion. Let’s all admit it-we possibly are proud of it -A&M is not a rich man’s school. What was the main object in our originally attending this institution ? Was it to join the Corps ? Any punk can reason it out for himself that we came here to better ourselves by gaining what today is known as a liberal edu cation. What then, happens to the poor bugger that is working his way through ? What I have to say here is in de fense of the Civilian so I won’t go into the virtues of the life in the Corps, as it has already been covered by “Aggie” Sanders, but in conclusion I would like to say this: Let’s all be proud of being Ag gies and quit bickering about what we are, because I think we will all agree that A&M has a swell bunch of guys both in the Corps and among the Civilians. If we have something to say, lets say it in a constructive way instead of shooting off at the mouth about something which will only build up apprehension in the clan. Philip R. Anderson, ’58 P. S. By the way-My name is Anderson! OK?

Editor, The Battalion I hate to start a feud with what I considered my Aggie buddies but why don’t you, Clarence B. Sanders, Jr. ’59, one of the group who can take it, stop the civilian thorough fare to the MSC across the Drill Field. It would be my good fortune if I could be the one you try to stop. It is my opinion also that A&M should be completely military ex cept for those groups you mention ed. Lets face facts. It isn’t. Its not my fault and its not yours but— as long as its this way a person has the privilege to do what his particular status allows. You would be surprised at the number of sophomores, juniors and seniors in the Corps who think they have the privilege of not speaking to a non-reg when he speaks to them I don’t believe it makes a person less than a man for not being in the Corps. There seems to be one misconception generally prevalent throughout the Corps and that is that they have it rough. Rough for “mama’s boys” maybe, but not for men. I think I can take the Corps-can you ? If so, quit crying. Will Chapman ’59 Editor, The Battalion Since the time when we first arrived at A&M as freshmen in the Corps, we have heard the same echoing blabber of a few ‘one-track-minded’ individuals say- JIM BOWER Dave McReynolds Barry Hart Welton Jones Joy Roper Leland Boyd, Jim Neighbors, Joe Tindel Jim Carrell Assistant Editor Managing Editor Sports Editor City Editor Society Editor News Editors Sports Editor D I A.?M O N D R 1 N \G > INTERLOCKING RING SETS RiimY.LOCX Wedding Ring $125.00 Open an account at D.

Circulation Manager Maurice Olian CHS Sports Correspondent u Sankey Park Jewelers 111 N. Main' Bryan ing, without qualifying their state ments, that “without the corps, there will not be an A&M”. Sounds as if Mr. ’59 Sanders is worried about the ‘attractiveness’ of civilian life to some of his present and future underclassmen. Or maybe someone is seeking the favor of his upperclassmen for next year’s rank. Should either be the case, may we suggest more originality; say, for example, by writing a synopsis of the advantages of corps life over the disadvantages of civilian life when an unbiased approach. Not ing the coherence in the writer’s letter, we doubt very much his capability of presenting an ac curate picture. Unity as displayed by the majority of the Corps members is outstanding. With this unity, con structive force should be put into action to suppress attitudes that tend to discriminate against any group of A&M students. Our opinion is this. A&M will always be A&M, with or without the corps, unless another name is UTTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler given the school or unless an atomic bomb is dropped in the near vicinity. And by replacing either the fraternity de corps or Them Civilians with coeds, some of us think that we would then have “quality and not quantity”.
