Editor: I was disappointed by the Aggies who traveled to Austin for the T-Sip basketball game the 13th. When I was a student at A&M we showed better sports manship than was exhibited Tues day night. There was widespread singing of “I’ve Been Working On The Railroad” during t.u.’s alma mater and some “Poor T-Sips” toward the end of the Fish game. This was not just Fish and civilians who might not know any better. There were seniors and juniors in uniform providing a bad example of sportsmanship as well. These people should know better than that. I’m not saying that the Sips were any better because they weren’t and should we have been outscored we most certainly would have been serenaded by “Poor Aggies.” I hate t.u. as much as any of us—perhaps more since I live here in the middle of T-Sip country—but does our poor sports manship make us better than them, or does it pull us down to their level? Michael A. Calloway ’67 Austin Editor: Dear Mr. Schwei: I did not “condemn” the Rugby Club, nor can I understand how you got the idea that such was even my intention. All I want is for you to remove your practice sessions from the drill field when it is wet. Prefer ably, you will move them to the “grassy” area by Davis-Gary or some other appropriate area. By the way, I enjoyed the game with Dallas—your guys really “beat hell out of them!” Tom Weaver Aggie Sweetheart To Speak on TWU Claudia Gordy, 1969-70 Aggie Sweetheart, will speak to the Brazos County Chapter, TWU Alumnae Association at 7:45 p.m. Thursday in the Texas Room of the Bryan Building and Loan As sociation building.
