‘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.

Last Thursday, if you’ll recall,
I devoted considerable time and
effort to a discussion of that
phenomenon which I called, for
want of a better name, the Great
Mail Extinction. 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? You could find out

your column such as: How many
Aggies use Bull Durham ? Or,
how many watch Batman? 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.
