Time Has Finally Come
Man, it’s finally time. It’s time for a home game and
those sweet young things.
With four weeks of class behind us, the weekend of foot
ball and dates will be a relief for many of us. It also gives
some students their first opportunity to take a first-hand
look at the Aggie football team for this year.
Of course, we should remember that the football team
and thousands of Aggie fans will be getting a first look at the
Corps of Cadets, civilian students and their wives and dates.
We are confident that the Corps will present itself as the
fine marching unit it always is, and that the civilians will
be just as impressive.
However, we all should remember that the football team
will not have much time for looking around. The only way
they can be impressed by any of us is by the noise we make
when we yell. We can let the team, former students, other
Aggie fans and most important, ourselves, know that The
Spirit is really alive on the A&M campus. We are confident
that it is, and that our confidence will be justified this
weekend.

As a loyal and dedicated A&M
former student I feel it neces
sary to take exception to Bob
Rowland’s letter in the Oct. 4
Battalion.
Mr. Rowland is so far off base
his letter hardly merits an ans
wer, however, since there is a
wild possibility that both stu
dents and faculty might be mis
led by such allegations and un
founded statements an answer
is appropriate.
As graduate of the Class of
’41, letterman in three sports;
and since graduation, an officer
of the Aggie Club, past presi
dent of the Quarterback Club,
former member of the coaching
staff, and above all, a dedicated

and contributing A&M former
student, I feel qualified to speak.
First, the great majority of
the Aggie former students over
the world shall continue to sup
port A&M in the future as they
have in the past, and I shall
continue to do so.
This shall be. For all honest
to goodness, true A&M men are
endowed with that certain some
thing you cannot beg, borrow
or steal, and gain only by being
an A&M Man. All of us are
privileged to have this unique
quality, that A&M and only
A&M can give.
Secondly, our loyalty is much,
much deeper than co-education,
intergration or any other changes
that the administration or board
might feel necessary to further
the advancement of our great
university.
President Earl Rudder and his
administration team and staff are
doing an excellent job and the
former students have the great
est confidence in their leader
ship.
Above all else, Mr. Rowland,
I shall oppose the legislature, or
any other minority group at
tempting to dictate to the Board
of Directors on the co-education
issue or any other issue envolv-
ing policy matters relating to
our school, and will stump the
state if necessary to prevent
such an occurance.
It is beyond me to try and
figure out who Mr. Rowland
thinks he is representing in such
a letter. Certainly he is not
speaking for me and the vast

Editor,
The Battalion:
On behalf of the “two per
centers” I object to being group
ed with Aggies that lack school
spirit and those who object to
any once-established rule or tra
dition or who are “disgusted”
with anyone who does object to
anything.
It has been us two percenters
that have always brought about
reforms and, almost any other
change you can mention. But
once the change has been made
we proceed onward looking for
new and brighter fields to con
quer.
As for the football team, we
have always criticized it to the
effect that many bashful Aggies
have been forced to show their
spirit. This negative support has
worked in the past to raise lag-

ate indiscriminate criticism of
our team or defeatism.
We argued for and against the
name change and the admission
of women until positive action
was taken. Some of the 98 per
centers are still fighting this
civil war.
There are many more worthy
causes to champion: Should we
all be required to wear cowboy
hats at the dinner table? Should
Kyle Field be turned back into
a cow pasture? Will a fullyco*
school bring about a better
