It is difficult to realize that for dozens of boys in Brazos County the only Christmas they will have will come from this fruit. Especially we wish to thank the Student Senate for doing all the work and to the two mess halls for being so cooperative. Barney Welch ★ ★ ★ Editor: I have always believed in call ing a spade a spade. In the cur rent vernacular, I believe in tell ing it like it is. For all free men the search for the truth and the good is what it is all about. Mr. David Reynolds in his letter pub lished in the December 17, 1969, Battalion refers to a “balanced” program for the Political Forum and under this guise is wittingly or unwittingly advancing an abominable sophism which is being foisted on this country on a large scale which in essence equates good and evil under the guise of achieving some abstract “balance”. Such indiscriminate use of the word “balance” by a vice chairman of the Political Forum is very disturbing. Are we not to discriminate between good and evil ? What goal or purpose could such a course of action serve if not self-destruc tion ? Does a dietician balance a diet by including rat poison? In the educational process, “bal ance” with respect to an individ ual means promoting moral, spir itual and physical development as well as mental; not including in fluences which inhibit develop ment in any of these areas. It is all a question of values. Let us hear from Mr. Reynolds what a balanced program means for the Political Forum. As a final remark no belief can withstand any criticism if the individual who holds the belief does not dis criminate between good and evil. Robert Calva R. V. Ray Appointed MSC Food Manager R. V.

The third zoning change ap proved by the commission involv ed a revised request to rezone property south of Holleman Drive and west of the proposed extension of Welsh Street. The change was made on con dition that Welsh Street be ex tended and that Nevada Street be dedicated. Gardner voted against approval of the motion. The first of the two requests which were turned down by the commission was for rezoning a 5.7 acre tract from residential to commercial. The tract is north of Holleman drive and adjacent to the city’s elevated water stor age tank. “This property has poor access from the standpoint of general commercial use. It would encour age more traffic turning on and off of Holleman where there is not a traffic light,” Commission er Jim Gardner said in the oppos ing the proposal. Additional property “is not really needed for general com mercial use,” Gardner said point ing out that “300 acres have been zoned for commercial while only 60 acres are developed for commercial in the city.” Gardner suggested that the 1.9 acre tract south of Holleman Drive be extended and used for commercial development instead. An 18.4 acre tract failed to get approval for rezoning from sin gle family residence to apart ment. The tract is located south of Holleman Drive and East of the proposed Anderson Street. It is not needed and it would create “two serious curves” on Anderson Street, Gardner said in moving that the commission turn down the request. All of the zoning requests act ed upon by the commission are subject to action by the City Council in its next meeting for final approval or disapproval.
