Reynolds 9 Rap
by Mike Reynolds
The Aggie and his parents have
arived at the MSC a few minutes
after the cafeteria closed. He is
disappointed because he wanted
a place where he could get a
little bit better than the run-of-
the-mill food usually served in
the dining halls.
Oh well, he thinks, we ’an still
grab a bite to eat in the foun
tain room. He leads his parents
around the corner and they enter
the coffee haven of all students.
At least he will be able to get
some decent hamburgers and
cokes there.
But wait, what is this? In
stead of the fresh hamburgers
that used to be ready in a few
moments — there are now left
overs from the noon hour kept
warm with flouresant lights. In
stead of the ready plate of steam
ing french-fries, there are now
limp, dry shoe-laces remnants
of the 12 o’clock rush.
Is money so dear, and the sys
tem so sweet, that they be bought
at the price of compromise and
lack of quality? I think not!

I was convinced last year that
the bonfire we didn’t have was
the greatest one on the A&M
campus. How many times have
we all felt that the words of
Mike Marlow rang true to our
own.
“It is all we have. It is the
least we can do.”
My faith in this conviction was
strengthened again after Yell
Practice Monday night when the
sophomore class voted practically
to the man not to have a joint-
bonfire with the Class of ’68.
Their bonfire meant more to
them than any bonfire they could
share.
Speaking of bonfires, I would
like to be the first to urge the
civilians to consider staying on
campus this coming weekend and
show the Corps of Cadets they
are only half of this school. The
planners of the world’s largest
funeral pyre (TU’s that is) saw
fit to give the civilians a cut
ting lane again and they should
do their part.
The temptation will be great
to tell the sweet young thing that
because we have Monday off, we
will be able to spend a three
day weekend at home with them.
At the risk of being strung up
by the Civilians who want to
leave, I don’t think it would be
a bad idea to have them sign in
Monday morning with their deans
or department heads.
Then they would not have to
work on the bonfires if they
didn’t want to work on it, but
then again, they wouldn’t have
an unfair advantage over the
Corps of Cadets who will be here
anyway.
Two-percenters can’t be made
to work, just as a congress can
not legislate morals, but the civil
ians here should get busy now
and get ready to help.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I’ve kept my feeling on some
of these letters to “Sound-Off”
to myself for some time now, but
when I’m referred to as a cheer
leader and the 12th Man is re
ferred to as a cheering section
by a fellow Aggie. I think it’s
time to say something.
Every time I pick up a Batt
it has someone saying that you’
re not an Aggie unless you’re in
the Corps; or someone else say
ing that you’re not an Aggie un
less you’re a civilian. If we
were true enough Aggies, we
wouldn’t have to be defending
ourselves all the time.
An Aggie is a “Soldier, States
man, and Knightly Gentleman.”
It’s as simple as that. It’s not
determined by whether you wear
a uniform or a pair of slacks
and shirt.
We’ve got enough people “cut
ting us down” without cutting
ourselves down. It’s high time
we joined forces as all true Ag
gies are supposed to do and go
by “one for all and all for one.”
Have we forgotten one of our
most prized sayings — “Through
Unity Strength?”
I have two suggestions to make
which I think will help keep A&M
the greatest school with the
greatest spirit and traditions.
One is directed to the Corps and
one to the Civilians.
Corps — to speak and meet the
civilians as you would any other
Aggie. Keep in mind that most
of our athletes are civilians and
no one puts out more for A&M
than they do.
Civilians — to respond to pro
per authority whether you are
required to or not. For instance^
it is your duty as Aggies to fol
low the directions of the Yell
Leaders at ball games even
though we have no actual con
trol hanging over you.
Those who aren’t willing to
make personal sacrifices are the
one who are not Aggies. Only
time and your actions will tell
how much of an Aggie you really
are.
I think by following these two
suggestions, that it will be a good
start in making Aggieland a
school of one body instead of
two bodies pulling in opposite
directions.

man from another and each has
its own criteria for a man to be
an Aggie.
Back in the early 1900’s Aggies
were the closest of friends be
cause they had to stick together
in the face or hard times. I have
heard of one Aggie giving the
last nickel he had to an Aggie
buddy that asked for it. I have
heard of Aggies leaving candy
and money on a table and anyone
could help himself and pay —
and at the end of the day all
candy and change was accounted
for. I have heard one old Aggie
say that if he were to die to
day and go to heaven and look
around and not see any of his
Aggie buddies, he would just as
soon go to hell to be with them.
How many of these Aggies do
you know today?
Men, let’s stop kidding our
selves, there never will be Ag
gies like these again.
Now that A&M has emerged,
let’s not let chopping down a
tree, or yelling our guts out at
a football game, or being in the
Corps be the criteria to be an
Aggie; and let’s not evaluate
each other, rather let each man
evaluate himself and strive to be
the best man possible in his
activities at A&M and then nec-
esarily we will all be Aggies.
