Listen Up the bait forum I CADET SLOUCH by Ji m Earle Editor: As was expected, our letter of 12 March received several re plies. We regret, however, that one relatively simple sentence yielded such a wide range of misconception. Before we are completely tried, convicted, and censured we would like to offer a word of explanation. We first apologize for tossing out a sentence on a “take it for what it’s worth” basis. We in correctly assumed that everyone had been around here awhile and understood a long popular phrase, as was used. Evidently not. Taking a tangent for a mo ment (as was taken in response to our letter) A&M is presently a coeducational institution: ac cept it. We do. It is also true that the coeds (since the term Maggie is no longer a desirable title) have some legitimate, well- founded complaints, as do other individuals on campus. The de sired result, however, is a work able solution. Seldom can sub stantial solutions be reached merely by complaining — which appears to be the trend now adays — rather than by offering suggestions. We consider our letter a suggestion for those who just sit back and complain. So in explanation, we repeat: “Highway 6 runs both ways.” undergraduate, corps or civilian; which merely means — you can’t buck the system ... if you don’t like it here, no one is asking you to stay. Jim Neal Terry Woodworth Cody Land Dave Konze David Jacoby Mark Satterwhite ★ ★ ★ Editor: I have been at A&M for the past four years, in the corps, and haven’t regretted one minute of it. (To each his own!) Over the past four years, the constant conflict between the corps and civilians has taken on various different outlooks. I, for one, was always one of the first to be against civilians and especially coeds on campus, but that is a thing of the past. It is about time to resolve these problems instead of carrying them to the point of being ridiculous. Get with it, because as long as this stupid conflict continues, this school is in a deadlock. Both sides have a place at A&M, like it or not, and it takes more of a man to accept and act for it, than to waste everyone’s time arguing about every little thing. Also, if Mr. Huchton claims to be mature enough to attend A&M, it would seem that he could do a little better than to make an assinine relation to someone needing someone to be told when to change from Win ter to summer apparel. Victor ian as it may sound, if it wasn’t for the men wearing these uni forms, he would have to turn in his peace symbol, like it or not. Don’t knock it man, as much as it hurts, they are fighting to preserve his right to be ignor ant. Finally, I am getting tired of hearing coeds tell how much they love A&M and want to be a part of it, and not change anything. Then, in the next breath, all they can do is gripe about conditions. This school has been here since 1876, and it still has growing pains. Don’t expect everything to immediately center around the coeds after just seven years. They knew what the situation was before they came here. Eighty-seven years of precedent is a little hard to change. Also, since I have been here, I have yet to see an Ag whoo-ah at a “moose”, so take it from there as far as the insults go. And for the coed who can’t ride her bi cycle on campus, grow up and act like a lady, skirts on a bi cycle will always get the in tended reaction.
