Letters to the Editor
Editor,
The Battalion
In reply to David Holden’s let
ter I would like to state that I
strongly agree that the essence of
a college education should not be
how good an engineer, and certain
ly not how good an army officer
you turn out, but a man with the
ability to look at any subject open-
mindedly and without prejudice. I
also agree that military in a pure
form is detrimental to this out
look.
But the Corps, to me is not a
strictly military organization. In
the first place it is mainly run by
the students and as most things
are based on class and not rank,
there comes a time when each stu
dent in the Corps must look at
certain policies or make his own
policies, "weigh the evidence for or
against and try to convince some
one else that they are or are not
good policies. Also due to close
contact with people in the Corps a
person must associate with all
types of people, people he wouldn’t
ordinarily associate with, as people
who think alike tend to stick to
gether. In this close association he
must listen to everyone’s ideas not
just the people who agree with
him.
This certainly helps to develop a
more broad-minded inquiry or at
least the acceptance that other
people can have good ideas whether
he agrees with them or not.
Certainly being faced with prob
lems and policies dealing with
groups of people are often more
stimulating to this thought' than
the mere concern With grades and

VALEDICTORY
With this column I complete my third year of writing
for Philip Morris.
It has been my custom in the final column of each
year to forego any attempts at humor, because you, dear
readers, have had your funnybones so frozen by the cold
wind of impending final exams that it is futile to try to
get a laugh out of you; and because in this last column
of the year we are saying goodbye, and goodbyes are
occasions for sweet solemnity, not slapdash foolery.
USED BOOKS
® Your friendly College Exchange Store is in
the market for ALL the hooks you want to sell
which are still current editions —
© As usual we offer the highest prices for books
which are to he used at the A&M College during
the next 12 months.
• Many titles have been discontinued here, but
most of these have A NATIONAL MARKET VAL
UE. We have the buying lists of the Nation’s
leading used hook jobbers and offer you the top
wholesale prices for these.
® We have no gimmicks — no deals — no tie-ins ...
just plain fair over-the-counter dealing.
Today my heart is full. I am grateful, first of all, to
the Philip Morris Company who make this column pos
sible. They have given me a completely free hand in the
choice of subject matter; they have not tampered in any
way with my copy; they have been unfailingly courteous
and helpful. I wish to take this occasion to extend heart
felt thanks to the makers of Philip Morris for their most
touching kindness, and to notify them that if we renew
our association for another year, I shall require a sub
stantial increase in salary.
Second, I should like to tender my thanks to you,
dear readers. A writer’s life is not an easy one. There
are an appalling number of hazards—a drought of ideas,
for one; catching your necktie in the roller of your type-
writer, for another—and when a writer is blessed, as I
have been, with an audience as alert, as bright, as intelli
gent as you, dear readers, then he must take his hat in
his hand and his necktie out of the typewriter and humbly
give thanks.
This, dear readers, I now do. Thanks for being dear.
Thanks for being readers.
Finally, I wish to thank the tobacconists of America
who make it possible for us to buy our Philip Morris
Cigarettes by the pack. If there were no tobacconists,
we should have to buy our Philip Morrises direct from
the factory in boxcar lots. This would present grave
storage problems to those of us who live in dormitories
and other substandard dwellings.
O All we ask is thal you get our prices before
selling.
The Exchange Store
Serving Texas Aggies
I hope, by the way, that you have been to your tobac
conist’s lately and bought some Philip Morris Cigarettes.
I have been trying to beguile you into smoking Philip
Morris Cigarettes by means of what advertising men
call the “soft sell.” Indeed, I have occasionally gone
beyond the soft sell into the “limp” or ‘“flabby” sell. I
hope my pulpy merchandising has had its effect, foi here
is an enchanting cigarette, pure, natural pleasure, a joy,
a jewel, a haven to the storm-tossed, a bower to the weary.
And in addition to being a haven, a bower, and all like
that, Philip Morris is a boon to the absent minded. Iso
matter which end you light, youie light.
And so goodbye. Go in peace, go in content. May
good fortune attend your ventures, may love and laughter
brighten the corners where you are. See you, hey.
©Max Shulman, 1957
fl’s been a great pleasure for us, the makers of Philip Morris,
to bring you this monument to the soft sell each tccek. Till
next year, goodbye, good luck, and good smoking —tcith
natural Philip Morris, of corris!
