Culture Is Here
Although most people will debate it, the A&M campus
is filled with opportunities for Aggies to better their cultural
outlook on life.
Town Hall, which begins Monday night with a top popular
music show, is only one of the many institutions here on the
campus that aids the cultural growth of A&M students.
Town Hall will also present other programs throughout
the school year to satisfy the entertainment and cultural
hunger of most students and faculty members.
Anyone who fails to take advantage of the opportunity
to see national and international celebrities on the stage in
person is only cheating himself. Such an experience is both
educational and informative.
The small amount of time taken from studies to attend
such entertainment will be a valuable addition to the cultural
growth of the student.
Although Town Hall is a big source of the entertainment
on this campus, there are still many other segments which
provide the student a means of cultural growth and develop
ment.
Look around you.
Naming a few, there is the Student Conference on Na
tional Affairs, the Great Issues, the Recital Series, the Fine
Arts Festival, Religious Emphasis Week and the various art
exhibits in the Memorial Student Center.
Sources of cultural are here and it is the wise person
who takes advantage of them while he can. It is the?;e
sources of culture that are changing A&M and making it
more than a “farmer-boy” school.
And with student interest, and only with student in
terest, culture will become a principal part of A&M society,
benefitting the growth and development of the student as
well as the growth and development of A&M.

Letters To The Editor
The Battalion welcomes letters to the editor hut reserves the right to edit letters
for brevity, clearness and accuracy. Short letters stand a better chance for
publication since space is at a premium. Unsigned letters will not be published...
Editor,
The Battalion:
We are three of the so-called
uncaged animals you referred to
in your recent editorial.
You say that the Corps of Ca
dets is failing to develop true
leaders and gentlemen. First,
we would like to know,‘are you
in the Corps ? Do you realize
that those men, the uncaged ani
mals of ’39, have contributed
more to this school than you could
ever hope to?
The Corps has not failed to
produce leaders, it has failed to
produce anyone who is able to
write an objective editorial!
If everyone was outraged at
the conduct at yell practice, why
didn’t more people leave ? Why
didn’t you leave ? If a person
overlook someone who gets
slightly carried away in their en
thusiasm for A&M, then we don’t
think they care much about our
school.
You only look at the two or
three off-colored words that were
used, not at the true spirit that
was behind them.
If you are ashamed of our
products and student body, then
leave. We don’t want anyone
who does not feel that our stand
ards are up to their’s.
Two of us had dates there and
they were not shocked so much
that they wanted to leave. Our
dates were as nice a couple of
girls as you could find. They,
even though they weren’t Aggies,
appreciated the spirit behind
them. We think that we need
more spirit like that, off-colored
words and all.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Friday night’s Yell Practice
raised more spirit, made more
friends, impressed more dates
and created more good will than
any other event of the year.
It is typical of the The Bat
talion to feature a boy scout
master type of editorial follow
ing an event like this.
If you don’t like it, stay at
home. Seven thousand happy
Aggies will not miss you.

Cut Class
When all else fails, you can always cut class
to lower your grades, and in many cases,
this is the fastest way to flunk out. Al
though this method is not as sporting as
previous methods mentioned, it is the surest.
In the history of the college, no one has
ever have trouble flunking if he consistently
cuts class. It’s always fun if you think up a
weak excuse to give your instructor, but
start thinking now, because you won’t
have much more time as a student.
