Such superficial thought as pur ported by the six individuals ob viously reflects an inept attitude toward coeducation on this cam pus. Remarks such as “Highway 6 runs both ways” act only as a means to enshroud rational thought. The real solution to the problem begins by examining the causes of the grievances given by the female students instead of dismissing the main issue by such trite statements. One must realize that the prob lem lies in the vocal minority of uncultured and inconsiderate in dividuals who have not been able to conform to our society’s stan dards of normality and respect for the opposite sex. It is due to this vocal minority that catcalls and other slanderous remarks are echoed throughout the walls of this institution. A university is a place where students are expect ed to develop their mental and social capabilities. Evidently these six men have found Texas A&M a place where they may regress to their troglodytic ten dencies. Their antiquated ideas on how to gain attention from the female veraciously reveal their insipidness. It is out of pure interest that I question the causes of para noia these students exhibit. Thery seem to fear that the coed will distract and subvert the male students from their normal proc ess of learning. The image of a university is not Y.M.C.A.

Pryor Craigmilet Sandy Broder Editor, My comments are primarily for that undoubtedly attractive young bicyclist (name withheld) who wrote so bitterly of the male re action to her on this campus. Just from the reaction to this weary, middle-aged bicyclist, I can imag ine the static she must get. Also, in my youth I “integrated” an all-male school (Harvard), on roller skates, and my only come back to their comments was to leave my skates just far enough out in the aisle to surprise late comers. But I would like to say to this young miss, from the view point of almost half a century of living, “nothing ventured, noth ing gained.” P.S. I went on to help “integrate” the United States Army—strictly on foot. Dorothy Wellington Institute of Statistics LORD JEFF TOWNSMIMy ttRYAM.
