Goal In Sight
The College Station United Chest Drive is entering its
final five days. And the citizens have shown excellent re
sponse thus far, upping the total collection near the $10,000
mark—almost 75 per cent of the goal set at $13,150.
In addition, this sum is exclusive of the contributions
from College Station merchants and employes and an esti
mated $500 from Bryan merchants and employes.
This drive is a more than worthy cause with 14 agencies
receiving allotments to use in accordance with their reports
to the drive committee. The funds will go for community
aids, charity aids, youth aids and medical aids.
If the contributing pace continues at the pace maintained
in the initial 10 days of the driye, the goal undoubtely will
be attained.
College Station citizens have donated almost $1,000 per
da^ during these 10 days with the funds now totaling more
than $9,500. At the rate, the drive would easily surpass its
goal in the final five days with funds exceeding the $15,000
mark.
And it all comes back with citizens benefitting from the
bulk of these donations in local services aided by the drive.
A letup now would be a poor supplement to this display
of charity,
A feather would decorate the caps of College Station
citizens if the drive goal were surpassed by a large amount.
Letters To The Editor
The Battalion welcomes letters to the editor but 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 Unsigned letters will not be published.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:
Justice is defined as the prin
ciple of rectitude and just deal
ing of men with each other. I
offer this undisputed definition
in view of the notable absence of
this concept obvious in the laun
dry service of A&M.
In my first encounters with
this service, I was prone to over
look the missing buttons, the
ruined zippers and the lost arti
cles with a tolerance I felt, per
haps not gladly, dye a laundry of
this type.
, Then to. my amazement, I
learned a fjne was imposed upon
me for being unable to produce
my claim tab—-I had failed to
tear it from the laundry slip. I
could have lost it, I could have
mistakenly destroyed it; in any
instance, it would have been a
mistake.
I now find I must pay for my

mistakes while the laundry lightly
passes over its mistakes.
Where, may I ask, is justice in
this type of dealing? True, the
fine was a small amount, but
that nickel nonetheless trod upon
justice,
