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.

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.
