ei ‘Insecurity Vs. Conformity’ Know it- THE BATTALION Tuesday, October 18, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 8 ^■Much of the loneliness and neuroses of man in modern so ciety has been brought about by “submersion of the person,” Dr. Charles Allen, pastor of Hous ton’s First Methodist Church, said here Friday. HThe loss of individuality, he told a standing-room-only audi ence in the Texas A&M Universi ty Memorial Student Center, leads to indifference and self isolation in an era when under standing and compassion are needed more than ever. H The widely known minister was the last speaker at the final ses sion of the two-day 21st annual Town and Country Church Con ference. Theme of the meeting of ministers and lay leaders was “Lift Up Your Eyes and See the Man as Pastor, the Community and Its People, the People and Their Needs.” Rev. Allen said the loneliness and feelings of insecurity are not helped by the many non-fiction books on how to solve worry, fear and tension problems. “Mental patent medicine s,” he called them. Insecurity is largely the result of “cheapening of the individual” which causes people to shidnk away from challenge, the min ister explained. He said another reason for the problem is mechanical advance ment and near-worship of ma chines by people. “Machines do many things for us, but they also do things to us,” the speaker emphasized. “Adver tisements say that TV sets, cars and household appliances are nec essary for success and happiness. Our nation has been sold so thor oughly on this idea that too many people have turned from God to gadgets. But you can’t meet a crisis with gadgets, and this is where these neuroses develop.” Mechanization has even affect ed the children, Rev. Allen added. “Nowadays, it’s not always the underprivileged, down and out children who are the problem, but the privileged children who are up and out,” he said.

The aspect of GME that was given particular attention was the light that glints off the shiny walls of an empty mailbox in the post office. So much for the synopsis. Bright and early Saturday after noon, when I set out once more to disprove the old law that No News Is Good News, I found Box 7008 so full that I first thought the Post Office guys must have taken pity on me and stuffed a pile of rags into the slot to keep out the light. But no so, Dear Hearts! After looking up my mailbox combina tion, with trembling hands — I hadn’t needed it in so long, I’d forgotten it — I found the follow ing inside: One letter, written by an obvi ously feminine hand, which coyly lacked a return address. One thick and heavy envelope from and insurance agent, with ten cents postage on it. One “Postage and fees paid, Department of Navy” envelope addressed to “Box Holder,” etc. Three Post Office advertise ments plugging Zip Codes. I was flabbergasted. The first letter was signed with initials only, and since there are a limited number of Maggies around, I’ll have to leave that part our to maintain anonymity; but here’s what it said: “Dear John, “I felt compelled to write you after reading your sad tale of woe in Thursday’s Battalion. I always read your column, but I particularly enjoyed the Thurs day one — the Great Mail Ex tinction. “I was trying to think of some way to help you solve your prob lem when I thought, why don’t you conduct some sort of poll or survey?

And of course, you would get plenty of mail. “Nonetheless, here is one let ter for you. Just leave it in your box when you finish reading it; then you can’t see the glint in the bottom . . . P.S. Have you ever thought of wallpapering your mailbox ? ” After such a generous addi tion to that lonely cubicle, I feel compelled to comment. I really appreciate the suggestions, Mag gie, but I just couldn’t leave that letter in the box to collect dust and dirty looks. It’s now enjoy ing a place of honor on my bulle tin board, along with my calendar, grade sheet and demerits. She second envelope contained a Little Black Book, with my name on the front in raised let ters, accompanied by this note: “Well, this will hide the shiny bottom of your mailbox for one day, John. Hope it will lead to more and better mail! Sincerely, Eugene Rush.” It should be pointed out, in the face of Payola charges, that Mr. Rush is an in surance agent with American Na tional Insurance Company here, and it’s interesting to see that he evidently reads the Batt from cover to cover. It’s also interest ing to note that I’m insured with his company, although I’m not sure if there’s any connection there. The third letter was from the U. S. Marine Corps, and it had nothing to do with my column. But who knows — if it had come a few days earlier, I might never have been prompted to cry out from the depths of my depression in Thursday’s Batt. Finally, the post office saw its chance to help out by dropping those three Zip Code blurbs in Box 7008. (All right, so I don’t know they were influenced by my column. So it was just a coin cidence. I can dream, can’t I?) What’s more, one of the cards is a “free return postage” type that offers to supply me with Zip Codes for any address I usually write to, which offers even more possibilities for hiding that evil glint. There’s just one hitch to this turn of events — other than the predictable fact that I haven’t gotten one bit of mail since that memorable day — and that’s the explanatory line beneath the sig nature of the Nameless-Here-For- evermore Maggie: “Class of ’68.” I mean, come on, gang — where’s your class pride ? If a Maggie junior (who just hap pens to be, alas, older than I am) is sharp enough to see her big opportunity, surely you Maggie sophomores and freshmen will want to show you can do as much. So keep those cards and letters coming neighbors. It looks like it might be a pretty good year after all. PRESTONE $1.59 gal. Havoline, Enco, Ama lie, Conoco 30c qt. Where low oil prices originate.
