BATTALION EDITORIALS
Good Job, College Station
Congratulations are in order for all the people who have
worked on the College Station United Chest drive, and
especially for Dr. Chris Groneman, campaign director. All
the workers and the people of College Station who con
tributed so freely to the drive have set a fine example for
all A&M students to eye as the A&M Campus Chest drive
starts.
In the past couple of years the Campus Chest collections
have fallen far short of the goals that have been set up
for the drives. We cannot think of a better year for Aggies
to show their concern for each other than this year. One
way we can do this is to set a new record for a Campus
Chest collection. ,

Apparently you need to be in

people need to be (on the inten
tions of Mr. Bob Rowland, Class
of ’57. I have never read an
editorial that disgusted me as
much as the one where you tried
to cover the truth by diverting
Mr. Rowland’s sincere letter
along a trail of utter foolishness.
In sympathy with Mr. Rowland,
I want you to know that a vast
majority of the exes go along
with him and will continue to
allow him to speak for them be
cause of their respect for him and
his unstoppable spirit and love of

Texas A&M. Letters from
EVERY Aggie Club in the State
will offer proof that the exes are
behind Mr. Rowland and that he
is not the only one who is fight
ing to preserve something that
you apparently don’t believe in.
Granted, A&M is one of the
leading universities in the nation,
but do you really think that stu
dents will drive 526 miles, as I
did, just to attend just another
co-ed school? After all, what is
there to attract students to Col
lege Station after A&M has lost
all of its old color and attrac
tions ? A first-class education
will attract a few, but let’s face
it, there are other colleges in the
state with good educational facili
ties !
So, Mr. Editor, if you can find
a substitute for the things that
A&M has stood for for so long—
honor, pride, and tradition—con
tinue your fight (or is it a passive
I-don’t-care attitude?) to allow
“progress” to overcame every
thing that A&M stands for and
you attend Muster and Silver
Taps for an out of place woman,
and you wear your A&M ring
proudly, because I can’t.

Co-eds on campus had no effect
on the Spirit of Aggieland. We
feel that Mrs. Thilghman and the
rest of the female additions to
our campus have no conception
of the true meaning of this Spirit.
Let us ask you this—have you
ever read the plaque at the
entrance of the Memorial Student
Center 7 Do you know why there
are 52 trees around the main drill
field ? Have you ever been to
Silver Taps ? Have you ever been
to Muster? Do you attend Yell
Practice? Are you familiar with
the Aggie Spirit as exemplified |
by the men on Corregidor in
World War II? Have you ever
heard of James E. Saran? Capt.
Eli L. Whiteley? Sgt. William G.
Harrell?
We feel that if you were famil
iar with these and other Aggie
traditions you might be qualified
to comment on the effect of co
education on the Spirit of A&M.
We would also like to point out
that we still have a MSC and
not a Sub.

HAPPINESS CAN’T BUY MONEY
With tuition costs steadily on the rise, more and more under
graduates are looking into the student loan plan. If you are
one such, you would do well to consider the case of Leonid
Sigafoos.
Leonid, the son of an unemployed bean gleaner in Straight
ened Circumstances, Montana, had his heart set on going to
college, but his father, alas, could not afford to send him.
Leonid applied for a Regents Scholarship, but his reading
speed, alas, was not very rapid-—three words an hour —and
before he could finish the first page of his exam, the Regents
had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Leonid then
applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single
athletic skill—picking up beebees with his toes—and this, alas,,
aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches.
And then—happy day 1—Leonid learned of the student loan
plan: he could borrow money for his tuition and repay it in
easy installments after he left school!
Happily Leonid enrolled in the Southeastern Montana Col-
-W k hi, Ms, onh^Simk Athletic Ml
lege of Lanolin and Restoration Drama and happily began a
college career that grew happier year by year. Indeed, it be
came altogether ecstatic in his senior year because Leonid met
a coed named Anna Livia Plurabelle with hair like beaten gold
and eyes like two sockets full of Lake Louise. Love gripped
them in its big moist palm, and they were betrothed on St.
Crispin’s Day.
Happily they made plans to be married immediately after
commencement—plans, alas, that were never to come to fruition
because Leonid, alas, learned that Anna Livia, like himself,
was in college on a student loan, which meant that he not only
had to repay his own loan after graduation but also Anna
Livia’s and the job, alas, that was waiting for Leonid at the
Butte Otter Works simply did not pay enough, alas, to cover
both loans, plus rent and food and clothing and television
repairs.
Heavy hearted, Leonid and Anna Livia sat down and lit
Marlboro Cigarettes and tried to find an answer to their prob
lem—and, sure enough, they did! I do not know whether or
not Marlboro Cigarettes helped them find an answer; all I know
is that Marlboros taste good and look good and filter good, and
when the clouds gather and the world is black as the pit from
pole to pole, it is a heap of comfort and satisfaction to be sure
that Marlboros will always provide the same easy pleasure,
the same unstinting tobacco flavor, in all times and climes and
conditions. That’s all I know.
Leonid and Anna livia, I say, did find an answer—a very
simple one. If their student loans did not come due until they
left school, why then they just wouldn’t leave school 1 So after
receiving their bachelor’s degrees, they re-enrolled and took
master’s degrees. After that they took doctor’s degrees—loads
and loads of them—until today Leonid and Anna Livia, both
aged 87, both still in school, hold doctorates in Philosophy,
Humane Letters, Jurisprudence, Veterinary Medicine, Civil
Engineering, Optometry, Woodpulp, and Dewey Decimals.
Their student loans, at the end of the last fiscal year,
amounted to a combined total of nineteen million dollars—a
sum which they probably would have found some difficulty in
repaying had not the Department of the Interior recently de
clared them a National Park. © xgea Max stmimao
